Dayi, Faruk; Kukus, Bayram Ali; Esmer, Yusuf
Purpose - The aim of this study is to analyze managers’ financial management behaviors (cash management, credit management, savings-investment and insurance). Financial management behavior, therefore, plays a key role in the success of managers and organizations. Financial management behavior refers to managers' individual and organizational decisions on and practices in financial matters such as cash, loans, savings, investments and insurance.Design/methodology/approach - Study sample consisted of 85 managers of KOSGEB (Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organization, Turkey). Data were collected using survey method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, reliability, factor analysis and ANOVA were used.Findings - Managers’ financial management behaviors differ by experience, income and education level. The higher their experience, income and education level, the higher their insurance sensitivities. Managers have high tendency to credit management and cash management behaviors, moderate tendency to savings-investment behaviors and medium to low tendency to insurance behaviors. This result indicates that managers do not attach enough importance to insurance, in other words, they are not cautious enough about insurance.Discussion - Participants’ financial management behaviors differed by experience, income and education level but not by gender, marital status, age and credit card use. This study is important in the sense that it is one of the fewest studies addressing financial management behavior.

Özbek, Ahmet; Esmer, Yusuf
Today, the Turkish ready-wear industry is undergoing a transformation process from acontract manufacturing to full package manufacturing. The most important input in theproduction of ready-wear is undoubtedly the labor force. For this reason, the success of thetransformation process is possible by meeting the qualified personnel needs of the industry. Inthis study, labor force requirement of the Turkish ready-wear industry is examined. Qualitativeresearch method is used in this study. Job adverts on ready-wear industry are investigated onwww.kariyer.net which is Turkey’s largest human resources website. Firstly the job positionswhich are most needed by the ready-wear industry and then the characteristics required forcandidates for these positions are determined. The obtained data are subjected to frequencyand percentage analyzes in the SPSS 21.0 program. According to the result of the research; themost needed personnel positions of Turkish ready-wear enterprises are "stylist", "merchandiser"and "sales consultancy" respectively. It has also been found that ready-wear enterprises areprimarily seeking communication skills and suitability for teamwork from the personnel who willwork in these positions. The main problem for ready-wear enterprises is to meet the need forpersonnel from outside the production area such as merchandiser, sales consultant, becauseenterprises request professional knowledge as well as marketing knowledge frommerchandisers and sales consultants. However, the marketing knowledge is given in themarketing programs and the professional knowledge is given in the professional departments inTurkey. This situation leads to the loss of time and money since firms have to give profesionaltranings to the marketing graduates for merchandiser position. The opposite of this case is alsotrue; the staff with professional knowledge also needs marketing knowledge. Therefore, theready-wear enterprises need vocational training education institutions which give bothmarketing and profession training to meet the labor force requirements of sales representativesand sales consultants. Because, in all the researches and studies carried out, it is emphasizedthat the contribution of education is important and the quality of labor force should be improvedthrough education.
