    Identifying the Factors Affecting Second-Home Purchase Decisions of Foreigners in Turkey: An Exploratory Mixed-Method Approach
    (Inst Tourism, 2021) Unguren, Engin; Kacmaz, Yasar Yigit
    Turkey has been among the most preferred countries by foreigners for purchasing a second home (SH) since the beginning of the 2000s. This explorative and descriptive study aims to determine the factors which affect the purchasing behaviors of foreigners who have bought an SH in Turkey in the framework of nationalities. The study employed a sequential mixed method, which included quantitative and qualitative aspects. As a result of the qualitative research, it was found that the factors affecting the decisions of foreign residents to purchase a home in Alanya were grouped under four main themes and twelve subthemes. A quantitative method was conducted based on the results of the qualitative research as well as the literature review. The results of the study show that the SH purchasing behavior of foreigners and their intentions of purchasing are significantly differentiated according to nationalities. This study contributes insight into the issue of the SH buying behavior of foreigners and presents marketing and managerial implications.

    Individual Differences in Plate Wasting Behavior: The Roles of Dispositional Greed, Impulsivity, Food Satisfaction, and Ecolabeling
    (Mdpi, 2023) Unguren, Engin; Tekin, Omer Akgun; Avsalli, Huseyin; Kacmaz, Yasar Yigit
    This study examines the effects of dispositional greed, impulsivity, food satisfaction, and ecolabeling on consumers' plate waste in all-inclusive hotels. Using a moderated mediation research model, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1253 tourists of different nationalities, all staying in five-star hotels in Alanya, Turkiye. The results show that both dispositional greed and impulsivity positively predict and significantly contribute to plate waste. Conversely, food satisfaction was found to be an influential variable that moderates the effects of greed and impulsivity on plate waste, highlighting its critical role in waste reduction strategies. Ecolabels, despite their intended purpose, were not found to have a significant impact on consumer attitudes toward plate waste. Future research is encouraged to explore strategies to counteract dispositional greed and impulsivity, given their significant impact on plate waste behavior. At the same time, refining methods to promote food satisfaction and the effective use of ecolabels may contribute significantly to reducing plate waste in all-inclusive resorts. This research contributes to our understanding of the psychological factors that influence consumer behavior in buffet settings and provides guidance to hospitality industry practitioners seeking to reduce waste.

    (Int Journal Contemporary Economics & Administrative Sciences, 2021) Kacmaz, Yasar Yigit; CevIrgen, Aydin
    This study aims to determine the impact of learning organizations on organizational resilience through institutionalization. The population consisted of the managers of four and five-star accommodation businesses in Alanya, Turkey. The implementation step was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2020 in 54 facilities, 43 of which were five-star and 11 four-star. A total of 392 questionnaires were collected while performing the study. As a result of the factor analyses, it was found that organizational resilience consisted of one factor which was also called organizational resilience, that institutionalization included three factors named professionalization-consistency, social responsibility, and formalization, and that learning organization contained two factors called individual and organizational learning. Correlation analysis results indicated a positive, moderate, and significant relationship between all factors. Hierarchical regression analysis and the Sobel test were utilized to determine the mediating impact. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that three institutionalization factors had a fully mediating role in terms of the impact of learning organization factors on organizational resilience.
