Is There A Causal Relationship Between Financial Performance And Premium Production? Evidence From Turkish Insurance Industry
(Journal Of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Economics And Administrative Sciences Faculty, 2023-09-02) Işık, Özcan; Shabir, Mohsin; Belke, Murat
This study aims at determining the causal link between financial performance and
premium production of non-life insurance companies. The relation between the financial
performance and premium production is explored employing data from the 2011-2019
period for eight Turkish non-life insurance companies. In the first stage of the analysis,
a hybrid model including LOPCOW, SWARA II, and MARCOS methods is proposed
to determine companies’ financial performance values. In this stage, a novel integrated
weighting method for calculating criterion weights is applied based on objective
information and judgements of decision-makers. In the second stage, the association
between financial performance and premium production is investigated by correlation
analysis. In the last stage, the causality linkage between the two variables is estimated
using a panel causality test developed by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). According to
the results obtained from the panel causality test, the bidirectional causality relation
exists between financial performance and premium production. Besides, the individual
panel causality results reveal that bidirectional causality is valid for only Allianz and
Anadolu insurance companies, which had an average share of over 35% in total non-life
premium production during the analysis period. The paper provides fresh evidence on
the association between the financial performance and premium production, particularly
from the Turkish context

(Journal Of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Economics And Administrative Sciences Faculty, 2023-09-02) Öksüz, Sena; Yanardağ, Umut
Seafarers who spend long periods at sea and therefore have little contact with life on
land face various difficulties because of their strenuous working conditions. While
identifying those challenges and carrying out psychosocial interventions has the
potential to increase the psychosocial well-being of seafarers, there is no scale to
determine the psychosocial risks that seafarers contend with in the course of their work.
This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the elements of the psychosocial
risks they face so such a scale can be developed. A preliminary form was prepared for
that purpose. Once the validity reliability rate of the form was determined on the basis
of feedback, it was submitted to 735 members of the Turkish Seafarers ' Union residing
in Istanbul and the resultant data was analyzed with SPSS and AMOS. As a result of the
exploratory factor analysis, 3 factors named “Psychological/Spiritual Problems”,
“Problems Related to Family and Environment” and “Problems Related to Work
Environment” and 26 items were determined. It was determined that the total variance
explained was 60.02%. In the confirmatory factor analysis performed, the structure
consisting of 26 items and 3 sub-dimensions provided good fit values. As a result, it was
concluded that a 3-factor Psychosocial Evaluation Scale for Seafarers consisting of 26
items is a valid and reliable scale.

manager has a partial mediator role in the effect of organizational culture on innovative
work behavior. These results indicate that port workers have the potential to exhibit
innovative work behavior, that organizational culture has a direct effect on innovation
from a holistic perspective, and that trust in the manager has a critical importance in this
effect
