    A cross sectional analysis of human resource management efforts in Turkey in production sector
    (1996) Işıkdemir, Çiğdem
    In the 1990s, globalization, internationalization and competition has gained an increasing significance in terms of corporate strategy. The organizational enviroment is involved in a rapid, constant change. Human resource management (HRM), is the critical tool for adapting to this ever changing environment. It could become a perfect strategic point of view when it is utilized efficiently. At the macro level this study analyses the extent of HRM efforts in Turkey in the production sector by replicating the 1992 Price Waterhouse international survey of HRM practices and strategies in Europe. At the micro level significant differences among the large and medium-small scale organizations in their attempts to manage human resources in their organizations in 1996 are investigated. The study seeks to ascertain any changes in HRM practices in Turkey during the four years since Price Waterhouse Survey in 1992, and attempts to evaluate any significant changes within four years ( 1992-1996). Finally, the results of this survey of HR practices in Turkey are compared with the European-wide results of Price Waterhouse survey.

    The determination of optimal time-in-grade for promotion at each rank in the Turkish Army
    (2001) Şenerdem, Barbaros Hayrettin
    The increasing pace of development in Human Resource Management makes an objective promotion system more valid than a system on subjective criteria in the Turkish Army. Therefore, the Army Headquarters tries to adapt an appropriate promotion system and criteria to The Turkish Army’s big hierarchical structure. Thus, the gap between the current and required officer inventory in the promotion system is thought to be minimized.In this study, the validity of a new promotion system, which is still under consideration in Human Resource Department of The Turkish Army, is evaluated against the current promotion system in The Turkish Army to establish a base for further quantitative research. The core of the study focuses on a non-linear optimization problem. The optimization is to obtain optimal values for time to wait at a rank until promotion. Optimal values of the selected promotion criteria, time – in-grade, are thought to make great contribution to further personnel decisions in The Turkish Army’s promotion system. The constructed model also supports the manpower planning requirements of the Army in determining the impact of existing policies on given promotion criteria over the long term.
