Organizational justice can be described as the results of the impacts of organizational decisions and implementations over personnel’s perceptions. Organizational distribution channels, restructuring the organization, transfer of authority and responsibility, inclusion of staff into decision-making process can be given as examples to organizational implementations. Employees feeling of injustice during organizational implementations and decision-making might cause psychological problems such as stress, depression and anxiety. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between academic staff’s perception of organizational justice and demographic factors in foundation universities in Turkey. Convenience Sampling is chosen as the sampling method of the research. Organizational Justice Scale developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993) and Folger and Konovsky has been selected as the data gathering method. 180 academic staff from various foundation universities has been involved in the scope of this research. Research results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference among gender, age, education level and marital status and distributional, procedural and interactional justice perception of academic staff. Key Words: Perception of organizational justice, demographic factors, Foundation University, Academic Staff.

As the process of adaptation to the requirements of a global economic environment based on knowledge and innovation, industrial clusters consisting mainly of SMEs continue to make the buzz within the academic world as well as policy makers. However, the empirical results of their effects on innovation are far from unanimous. In this context, we present a conceptual model on the basis of the literature explaining the indirect effect of clusters on innovation through the double putative mediation of inter-firms and industry-science cooperation. This model also focuses on two potential moderating effects. That of inter-organizational trust which conditions the dynamics of cooperation and that of the absorptive capacity to clarify the boundaries underlying to the transformation of cooperation opportunities (Inter-firm and industry-science) into innovation performance. This paper concludes with potential practical implications and suggestions for future research. Key Words: Cluster, Cooperation, Trust, Absorptive Capacity, Moderation, Mediation, Innovation Performance.

Entrepreneurship increases national competitiveness and is an important driver for economic growth. Researchers have tried to predict future entrepreneurial behavior, particularly through the study of entrepreneurial intentions. This study is based in an international sample of 264 respondents and analyses the effect of risk attitude, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions. The proposed Structure Equation Model shows that entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial self-efficacy have a positive effect on the intention to become an entrepreneur, whilst risk averseness has a strong negative effect on entrepreneurial intentions. These findings can be used for the effective promotion of entrepreneurship by focusing on the factors that have the biggest effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Key Words: Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Intentions, Risk, Education, Self-Efficacy, Structure Equation Modeling.

In Pakistan Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is gaining importance day by day for gaining competitive edge. This paper aimed at investigating the nature and impact of ERP trainings on employee performances. Five organizations were selected from corporate sector of Pakistan in order to collect and analyze the data having sample size of 201. Questionnaires were distributed through convenient sampling technique. SPSS 16.0 was used for regression analysis in order to find the relational impact of ERP training with employee performance. In findings, ERP trainings showed the positive relationship impact on performance of those employees who were engaged in ERP training activities. Organizations can take benefits after considering the importance of these upgraded trainings for better performance of employees as this is one factor which should be addressed and adopt.

The empirical results show that the proposed model is appropriate in evaluating the relationship of the Taiwan’s and the Singapore’s stock markets. The empirical result also indicates that the Taiwan’s and the Singapore’s stock markets is a positive relation. The average estimation value of correlation coefficient equals to 0.5597, which implies that the two stock markets is synchronized influence. Besides, the empirical result also shows that the Taiwan’s and the Singapore’s stock markets have an asymmetrical effect. The volatility of the Taiwan and the Singapore stock markets receives the influence of the positive and negative values of the global energy index and the global material index volatility. For examples, under the good news of global energy index and the global material index markets, the empirical result shows that the variation risk of Taiwan stock market will affect the variation risk of the Singapore stock market. And the variation risk of the Singapore will also affect the variation risk of the Taiwan stock market. Under the good news of the global energy index and the global material index, the variation risk of the Taiwan’s stock market is larger than the variation risk of Singapore’s stock market. Key Words: Stock Market, Asymmetric Effect, IGARCH Model, AIGARCH Model.

The paper aims at estimating the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curves in KSA employing annual data over the period 1971 to 2013 using the Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration proposed by Pesaran and Pesaran (1997) and Pesaran et.al, (2001) and Non- Granger Causality within the VECM framework to explores the short-run and long-run causality direction applying the F-statistics of Wald-test. The. The ADF test ensures that the variables are either I(0) or I(1) but not I(2). The ARDL results show that there is a long-run equilibrium relationship among Carbon Dioxide emission (CO2), economic growth energy consumption, and population density. The results reveal short and long run positive and significant impact of economic growth on CO2 emission, and that the long run elasticity is less than the short-run elasticity. Following the Narayan (2010) approach, where for the EKC to exist, the long-run elasticity should be less than short-run elasticity, the results provide support for the existence of EKC in KSA. The Non-Granger causality results reveal bidirectional causality between economic growth, energy consumption, population density, and CO2; economic growth and population density, energy consumption and .population density, whereas, unidirectional causality runs from CO2 to population density. The Saudi government may help establishing the Environmental Kuznets Curve relationship between air pollution and economic growth by implementing various policies to reduce the emission level. For example, imposing taxes on pollution and increasing the role of renewable and clean energy (nuclear energy) consumption and energy efficiency. Key Words: EKC Hypothesis, ARDL, Granger-Causality, VECM, Economic Growth. Pollution.
