Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 25How Can the Subjective Well-Being of Nurses Be Predicted? Understanding the Mediating Effect of Psychological Distress, Psychological Resilience and Emotional Exhaustion(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2022) Anasori, Elham; Kucukergin, Kemal Gurkan; Soliman, Mohammad; Tulucu, Fadime; Altinay, LeventPurpose This paper aims to examine the relationships among work-family conflict (WFC), cognitive regulation, psychological resilience (PR), psychological distress (PD), emotional exhaustion (EE) and subjective well-being (SWB) in a very complex model based on job demands-resources. Also, mediator roles of PD, PR and EE are analyzed. Design/methodology/approach Data for the study were collected from 158 full-time nurses working in two hospitals in North Cyprus. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the model. Findings The authors' findings reveal that cognitive emotion regulation reduces employees' WFC. WFC also has a negative effect on employees' SWB directly and through the mediating role of EE. However, the role of PR in the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation and PD was not significant. Originality/value The study adds the original views for hospitals and service providers to recognize the factors which exert detrimental effects on employees' mental health and also the factors which help them to tackle the harsh situation specifically in the time of crisis. Theoretical and practical implications are provided in the study.Article A Joint Analysis of the Effects of Climate Change Denial and Problem Awareness in Predicting Air Travel Behavioral Intentions(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Kucukergin, Kemal Gurkan; Koc, Burcu; Dedeoglu, Bekir Bora; Kucukergin, Fulden NurayDespite scientific evidence demonstrating the impact of climate change on the planet, climate change denial remains prevalent. This study aimed to determine how various forms of climate change denial and level of problem awareness predict intentions to increase or decrease the use of air travel, given its significant climatic impact. Using data collected from 301 air travelers in T & uuml;rkiye, we conducted Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to examine the symmetrical and asymmetrical effects, respectively. The data analysis revealed that denial of guilt negatively affected problem awareness and intention to decrease air travel. Literal denial had a positive effect on intention to increase air travel, while problem awareness had a negative effect. The fsQCA revealed very diverse recipes for each outcome variable, showing high coverage.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Understanding the Intention To Use Artificial Intelligence Chatbots in Education: the Role of Individual Innovativeness and AI Trust Among University Students(Springernature, 2025) Gokcearslan, Sahin; Esiyok, Elif; Kucukergin, Kemal GurkanAI chatbots, which use artificial intelligence and are growing in popularity offer interactive learning environments. In this current study, we used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the acceptance of AI chatbots in the educational environment. The expanded model included the variables of AI chatbot trust and individual innovativeness. A total of 306 university students participated in the research. According to the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) results, the model explained 61% of the variance in intention to use AI chatbots for educational purposes. This study shows that AI trust and individual innovativeness offer deeper insights into the research model. Based on these findings, practical recommendations include providing supportive activities to improve ease of use and usefulness, encouraging innovation among less innovative students, and enhancing chatbot design with more humanistic and pedagogical features to build trust and engagement.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 61An Overview of the Destination Physical Servicescape With Sor Paradigm: the Importance of Prestige Sensitivity(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Kucukergin, Kemal Gurkan; Kucukergin, Fulden Nuray; Dedeoglu, Bekir BoraThis study aims to examine the relationships among the destination physical servicescape elements, perceived price, tourist emotions, satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Besides, the moderating role of prestige sensitivity is investigated in terms of the relationship between the variables affecting and being affected by perceived price. For data analysis, PLS-SEM is applied and except for the effect of joy on behavioral intentions, all the other direct effects are found to be statistically significant. In addition, prestige sensitivity has a moderating role only in the relationship between the perceived price and love.
