This study uses an undergraduate sample from Turkey to explore this relation for a relatively understudied population. Given findings that link basic human values to narcissism and to political orientation, we also investigate the possibility of a mediating role for human values in this relation. Leftwing orientation is weakly and negatively correlated with narcissism and with narcissism's self-sufficiency dimension. In multinomial logistic regression, we find that the odds of placing oneself in the extreme right position verses moderate left position increases as narcissism increases. The effect of narcissism on political orientation appears fragile, however, when this relation is controlled for self-esteem, sex, and human values. Among Schwartz's basic human values, tradition turns out to be a stronger predictor of political orientation than narcissism and mediation is supported only for the values tradition and universalism. We find a positive indirect effect of narcissism on leftwing orientation through the value tradition and a negative indirect effect on leftwing orientation through the value universalism.Article Citation - WoS: 3Europeanization of Turkey and LGBTI Rights(Ankara Univ European Union Research Centre, 2020) Yilmaz, GozdeThe European Union (EU) has established an advanced regime for non-discrimination and LGBTI rights have been included within this regime. EU candidate states are expected to be a part of this regime and launch Europeanizing reforms in the area. While, as an EU candidate state, Turkey is not immune from this, LGBTI rights have remained an area without any reform in the 2000s and even an area full with discrimination experiences. This article examines why there emerged no reforms during the increasing Europeanizing reforms in Turkey in the 2000s. The main argument is that the reasons of inertia in LGBTI rights in the 2000s' Turkey are the incapability of the EU for driving reforms and the negative mindset of the AKP regarding LGBTI-related issues.Article Citation - WoS: 3Spatial Econometric Analysis of R&d Spillovers in Turkey(Journal Applied Economics & Business Research, 2016) Cetin, Dilek; Kalayci, ElifResearch and development (R&D) activities are of great significance in the long term development of firms and R&D expenditures have been studied by economists including Romer. This paper sets out to investigate the effects of R&D spillovers at provincial level with specific reference to Turkey. To serve this purpose, data published by Turkish Statistical Institute have been employed. The paper covers the period from 2003 to 2007. The number of data points is 342 subsequent to the aggregation of data at the firm level. Of the data aggregated, it has been found out that 162 of them are zero. While running the spatial econometric estimations, inverse distance and neighboring matrices were employed as the weighting matrix. The determinants of R&D activities employed in the study are size, represented by the number of employees; qualified labor, represented by the number of R&D employees; technology transfer represented by expenses for licensing; foreign ownership, Pavitt sector dummies, location dummies by the sea, border or airport. The results of the analyses suggest that when both weighting matrices are used, spatial lag and error yielded significant results. There is R&D knowledge spillovers at provincial level in Turkey, shown by the spatial spillover effects in nearly one third of the total effects.Article Workers' rights and employment contracts in a developing country context: the case of Turkey(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2014) Temel, Ali U.; Temel, BulentA rapidly growing economy and a primary geopolitical actor in Eurasia, Turkey has attracted record levels of international capital and workforce since its recognition as a membership candidate to the European Union in 1999.

Accordingly, various studies are being done to provide guidelines for SE education curriculum design. This paper presents software engineering education evolvement in Turkey, present SE education scenario in different universities along with the significance of software technology parks in relevance to software engineering education. The objective of this paper is to provide an assessment of SE curriculum in Turkish Universities with respect to IEEE/ACM guidelines given in SEEK (2004). This study will provide a guideline to universities conducting an SE programme at undergraduate level to align their course curriculum with IEEE/ACM guidelines (SEEK, 2004).
