Financial performance analysis in the banking sector aims to determine the capacity for data-driven decision making. This study evaluates the financial performance of public and private deposit banks in Türkiye. In the study, we used the entropy method to determine performance weights. Then, we used the VIKOR technique, which integrates the entropy method with multi-criteria decision making. This integrated approach evaluates banks according to key dimensions such as profitability, liquidity, asset quality, and capital adequacy. We conducted the study on a sample of three public and eight private deposit banks operating in Türkiye. The data covers financial ratios starting from 2022. The findings show that two public banks have high financial performance, while publicly owned deposit banks have stronger financial performance than their privately owned counterparts. The findings provide valuable insights into the Turkish banking sector's financial stability and competitive positioning. The results of the study can guide bank managers and regulatory authorities.

This study examines the mediating role of self-efficacy and stress perception in the relationship between work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion in healthcare workers. The study's primary purpose is to reveal the effect of work-family conflict on the emotional exhaustion levels of healthcare workers and to understand how individual factors such as self-efficacy and stress perception affect this process. The study's central question is, “Is there a significant relationship between work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion, and what role do self-efficacy and stress perception play in this relationship?” The study was designed as a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The study sample consisted of 313 healthcare workers working in public and private hospitals in Turkey. The data were determined using the convenience sampling method. The data were analysed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine direct and indirect relationships between variables. According to the analysis results, a significant and positive relationship was found between work-family conflict and emotional burnout. It was determined that the perception of stress strengthened this relationship, while the perception of self-efficacy weakened it. While the work-family conflict was observed to cause less burnout in individuals with high self-efficacy levels, it was determined that emotional burnout levels increased even more in individuals with a high perception of stress. These findings emphasize the effect of individual factors on the professional and personal balance of healthcare professionals. This study confirms the adverse effects of work-family conflict on the emotional burnout levels of healthcare professionals. The research findings show that self-efficacy is a protective factor, while perception of stress is a risk factor. Increasing self-efficacy is critical in ensuring work-family balance and reducing the risk of emotional burnout in healthcare professionals. These results indicate that institutional strategies should be developed to reduce the emotional burnout levels of employees in the healthcare sector. Additionally, flexible working hours and family-friendly policies are recommended to reduce work-family conflict.

A strong perception of poverty reduces the motivation to participate in social activities. Therefore, it can be argued that the perception of poverty positively affects social exclusion but that psychological well-being perceptions reflecting people's life satisfaction mediate this effect. This study investigates the mediator function of psychological well-being in the impact of poverty perception on social exclusion. This quantitative study employs the relational survey model, one of the general survey models. The data were collected from 714 university students using simple random sampling. The poverty perception scale, social exclusion scale, and psychological well-being scale were used to collect data in the research. The findings show that psychological well-being is a lever in the relationship between perceptions of poverty and social exclusion: while stronger perception of poverty parallels a more robust perception of social exclusion, a positive variable, such as psychological well-being, has an explanatory function in this relationship.

Businesses must develop appropriate organizational structures and working models to reduce costs and increase profitability. Under the conditions of rapid change, innovation and creativity are critical for business success. Traditional hierarchical and rigid organizational structures are unsuitable for the flexible working conditions of the post-pandemic period and need to be revised to adapt to newly created requirements. This study aims to answer the fundamental question of the importance of digital innovation for businesses in the postpandemic period. A qualitative research method was the basis for this case study. Data were collected from 15 family business managers operating in Sakarya (Turkey) through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis technique in the MAXQDA program. According to research findings, developing new organizational structures and business models based on digital innovation is necessary to ensure sustainability and cope with uncertainty in family businesses. This also supports the notion that organizational structures should adhere to organic and flexible arrangements and move away from rigid and mechanical systems.

This study investigates whether war-induced forced migration has led to persistent imbalances in Eastern European labor markets, with a specific focus on matching efficiency. The analysis utilizes a quasi-experimental design combining Eurostat and UNHCR quarterly panel data for the EU-27 from 2014 to 2025. The methodology employs a multi-period difference-in-differences approach and Beveridge curve regressions to isolate the specific impact of the Temporary Protection Directive flows. The findings indicate an upward and outward shift in the Beveridge curve following the 2022 shock, characterized by a simultaneous increase in vacancies and unemployment. The results demonstrate that high institutional integration capacity dampens these shock effects, while persistence primarily observed in service-intensive sectors. The study suggests that reducing matching costs through targeted language equivalence accelerators and fair placement algorithms is essential for market stabilization.
