    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Information Technology (IT) as a structural factor and instrument transforms architect of  organizations, business processes and communication, and is increasingly integrated into  human resource management (HRM).  While IT has impacts on human resource (HR), at the same time managers, employees,  customers and suppliers increase their expectancies for HR functions. The importance of  knowledge and human capital make extra suppression on HR functions and new  competencies for HR professionals are expected.  In this research, the impacts of Information Technology (IT) on HR practices and  competencies of HR professionals are studied.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Impact of Infrastructure Investments on Regional  Economic Performance: A Meta-Analysis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Today, the notion of regional competition shapes regional economic  policies, and these policies improve regions’ competitive power, in  addition to channelizing the resources into the underdeveloped regions  and supporting some of the activities in underdeveloped regions.  Infrastructure investments, which can be evaluated as among these policy  instruments, can be a determining factor in the choice of the facility  location and can increase the output as well as private sector investments  through increase in private capital and labour productivity. Furthermore,  increase in public infrastructure investment expenditures will promote the  demand through the multiplier impact in the short term and price  decreases caused by the productivity improvement in infrastructure  investments in the long term; this demand impact will cause an increase in  the whole production and employment. At the same time, public  infrastructure investments afford cities, regions, and nations the  opportunity to improve their competitive structures, due to the fact that  they are able to decrease transportation and production costs.  Gramlich (1994: 1177) defines infrastructure investments as natural  monopolies that require large capital intensity, such as highway and other  transportation means, water and drainage lines, and communication  systems and also alternatively defines and stresses that it is necessary to  focus on the tangible capital stock possessed by the public sector. The  expanded version of this definition also includes human capital as well as  research and development investments. These types of infrastructure  investments enable public policies to influence the long-term growth and  productivity at the regional level. Particularly following the study of  Aschaur (1989), many studies have been done in order to determine the  impacts of different infrastructure types on national and regional economic  growth by using various ways and methods. Some of these studies, that were done particularly since 1990s, mentioned that economic and social  infrastructure investments directly impact (or indirectly impact through  externalities) regional output, private sector investments, costs, and  employment. Studies also showed that these investments increased the  competitive power of regions.  In this study, the impact of infrastructure investments on regional  economic performance has been investigated by using the meta-analysis  methodology. Meta-analysis is a method used for quantitatively aggregate  primary research studies in a particular field. A large collection of primary  studies from a particular body of literature is surveyed in accordance with  predefined coding protocols and procedures. Studies included in a metaanalysis  need to be empirical and should examine similar and/or same  constructs and relationships. In the current study, we have examined the  relationship between infrastructure investments and regional economic  performance thus included the studies that examined this relationship. In  order to identify the sample of primary studies, we have initially searched  the bibliography of previously published review studies on the same topic.  We have also searched online databases for identifying the sample papers.  This process yielded 87 numbers of studies, which were then reduced to 70  due to the inadequate data. The papers will be coded based on certain  study characteristics, and then the data analysis will be done using SPSS  statistical software package.  Keywords: Public Infrastructure Investments, Private Investments,  Regional Income, Regional Economic Performance, Meta-Analysis.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Impact of Job Satisfaction in Academic Job Advertisements in Turkish State Funded Universities, the Case of Ege University]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Academic recruitment is one of the main element works of University Boards.  This policy matches the departmental academic staff needs. And also increases internationality recognition of universities with qualified staff. The academic position calls plays a vital role in this process. Advertisement process monitored and organized by University Rectors in State Universities in Turkey. That enables candidates to apply proper positions in Faculties. That in turn improves their job satisfaction in organization. Ege University is one of the biggest and oldest Universities in Turkey located in Izmir. In this study we first explain the academic staff advertisement process in Ege University than explain job satisfaction of applicants according to the findings of our survey. We applied a questionnaire to randomly chosen recently appointed assistant professors in short interviews in order to evaluate their satisfaction after the recruitment as academician in Ege University. The main aim was to see and observe how much they satisfied in post appointment process in their academic life. The main findings ensured that significant number of the sample group has satisfied with academic environment after the recruitment. In this study findings of those questionnaires are clearly explained.   That gave us insights about academic staff advertisements and appointments impact on job satisfaction after the recruitment.   Keywords: Academic staff advertisement, Ege University.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Main goal of the article is the establishment of common ground between two fields of language study; Linguistics and Literature, since the common links that connect these branches not only exist, but are strongly present in many areas of each field. However, they are misconstrued and underestimated, which leads to an incomplete understanding of both. We have used three main arguments, from a certain point of view, to gradually form a strong proof of the interdependency which governs the relation: contribution of Literature to the theory of Linguistics, contribution of Literature to specific branches, and contribution of Literature to Language. Using a considerate amount of written evidence, as well as exploring the history of both fields, it should be evident that the relationship which exists requires a different approach to studies. Saussure’s demarcation might be idealized, as the synchronic primacy might not uphold in the present, as everyday written records are becoming closer to the level that spoken language has in the linguistic development process. This area may require more exploration. The result might be general, and need to be specified, so that it can be used in the field of ELT, as a manner of teaching foreign languages. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The effective design and delivery of micro-credits is difficult under  all circumstances. However, in conflict-affected societies, the task of  microcredit institutions that seek to provide financial stability to its  most impoverished members is more complicated. This paper aims  to investigate the role and the impact of the microcredit industry in  Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data for this study were gathered from  both microcredit institutions and recipients of microcredit funds using  both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research results  show that refugees, internally displaced persons and returnees are less  likely to get loans compared to those with stable incomes, meaning the  population with stable incomes has benefited more from these credits  in improving their living conditions. Most of the targeted populations  of the interest free microcredit foundation (MCF) that was taken as a  case study in this research expressed their satisfactions with the loans  and service provided by the particular MCF. From a policy perspective,  it is important to focus attention on the most affected population  groups, those least able to pull themselves out of poverty. Microcredit  foundations should find a balance between being non-profit based and  achieving their full sustainability.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Impact of Musical Component on Vocabulary Acquisition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: suggestopaedia, vocabulary, musical session, jazz  ABSTRACT  The teaching method of suggestopaedia, which originated in the 1970s owing to the efforts of Bulgarian psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov, has already been applied in the framework of studies dealing with ELT. In practice the method consists of several stages, the central of which represents intonation reading against appropriate musical background. Unconscious or not fully conscious psychical activity linked to the concept of “concert pseudo-passivity” is critical at that stage. There have been a number of studies conducted in Georgia with the use of this method.  This paper is a modest attempt to contribute to this relatively new and exciting field of pedagogy. The author conceived to conduct the experiment, while using the 20 century music during the phase of concert pseudo-passivity. It should be mentioned that suggestopaedia generally uses classical music to create the concert pseudo-passivity. The author, however, experimented with two genres of the 20th century: blues and jazz. Thus, the experiment was broken down into two parts.  In the first part, the author aimed at investigating whether applying blues poetry as means for intonation reading, combined with the blues music as an audio-mirror of the read verse, influences the degree of acquisition of the vocabulary at the advanced level. The (first part of) experiment conducted showed positive result which allows of further investigation in the area.  In the second part of the experiment, the author conducted twelve academic sessions, of which eight (8) went on using traditional way of teaching vocabulary, and four (4) were done with the elements of suggestopaedia, with the use of jazz music. The experiment has proven that with the use of suggestopaedia the academic outcome of the students increased by 20%, which can definitely be qualified as methodological success, which can be used as an auxiliary tool in the course of teaching.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Entrepreneurs are imperative for the long-term economic growth of every country. Researchers are trying to explain how important entrepreneurial intention is by taking different factors in considerations. This paper will discuss three most important groups of factors affecting entrepreneurial intention of unemployed women in the northern Montenegro. Based on literature review, those factors are personal background, personality traits and environmental groups of factors. In this study, focus will be on four factors from each group which are perceived as most important according to researchers. The study will provide new framework in this field. While some studies found that personal background and environmental factors affect entrepreneurial intention, this study assumes mediation effect of personality traits. The main research focus will be on women since majority of unemployed people in the north of the country is women whose small proportion is entrepreneur.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: vocabulary, pre-service teachers, cognition, beliefs, reflection  ABSTRACT  Vocabulary teaching has been one of the most complex issues in language teaching as natural depth and breadth of vocabulary knowledge poses challenges on the teaching process. This study analyses pre-service teachers&#039; cognition about vocabulary teaching. For the purpose of the study, 10 pre-service teachers were asked to write their plans on how they would teach vocabulary to young learners once they start their professional teaching. Their responses will be qualitatively analysed and emerging beliefs will then be categorised in order to design a short training that aims to provide the pre-service teachers with an opportunity to reflect on their vocabulary teaching beliefs. After the training another set of reflective writing will be collected based on Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick&#039;s (2008) four levels of impact (Level 1-Reaction, Level 2-Learning Level, Level 3-Behaviour, Level 4-Results). The study will particularly provide detailed information about the impact of this short training on beliefs with reference to these four levels. Through such reflective practices, the researchers aim to show that pre-service teachers&#039; beliefs can be influenced and their knowledge about vocabulary teaching methodology can be developed.]]></dcterms:abstract>
