The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the organizational justice levels and the turnover intention of trainers working in different departments. The present research was designed with relational screening model. Organizational Justice Scale developed by Kim (2009) and adapted to Turkish by Sayın and Şahin (2017) and the Turnover Intention Scale developed by Mobley et al. (1978) were applied to 382 volunteer participants. One-way analysis of variance was used in order to determine whether there was a significant difference in turnover intention and organizational justice levels according to demographic characteristics of participants. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated in order to determine the level of relationship between the participants' organizational justice levels and their turnover intention. Significance level was taken as 0.05. At the end of the study, it was determined that there was a negative and medium level relationship between the organizational justice levels of the trainers and their turnover intention. When evaluating them in terms of demographic variables, it was determined that as the level of educational level of the trainers increases, the level of distribution justice sub-dimension decreases and the levels of organizational perception of the trainers, whose branches are the combat sport, were low.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the hopelessness and violence tendency of football fans and to investigate the differences between these variables and various demographic variables. The research group was formed by 398 male volunteer football fans who watched the Elazigspor (Sports Toto 1st League) matches in the 2018-2019 season in Turkey. In addition to demographic variables in the study, the Violent Trend Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used. The SPSS program was used to analyze the data. Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation, and linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. In the findings of the research, it was determined that there was a moderate positive relationship between the variable of hopelessness and the tendency toward violence. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the tendency toward violence according to the variables of fans going to away games, the duration of watching matches at the stadium, and with whom fans watched the matches. As a result, as the level of fans’ hopelessness increased, it was observed that there was an increase in violent tendencies. In addition, those who went to watch away matches, those who watched matches at the stadium for a long period of time, and those who went to watch matches with friends were found to have high levels of violent tendencies.

This is a study on employees’ perception of justice towards performance-based pay and the effect of these perceptions on their turnover intention. This study aims to examine the mediating role played by distributive and procedural justice in linking pay distribution and pay procedure of performance-based pay to employees’ turnover intention. A review of past literature in this particular area has prompted the researchers to narrow the gaps in previous studies. Towards that, this study utilized questionnaires which were administered among 50 non-managerial employees currently working in a private company located in Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 20.0. Pearson Correlation and Stepwise Regression were used to examine the relationship between the variables. The outcomes of Stepwise Regression revealed that distributive justice fully mediated the relationship between pay distribution and employees’ turnover intention in contrast to procedural justice which did not have a significant impact in the relationship. The findings of this study are useful references for organisation management of the pay system to improve employees’ performance.Keywords: employees’ turnover intention; organizational justice; performance-based pay

The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between organizational justice and organizational feelings of revenge of teachers. The study sample consisted of 207 Physical Education and Sports teachers working in Bursa city (78 women & 120 men).The data was analyzed with a t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. The study results showed that the data related to both the organizational revenge and organizational justice dependent variables had normal distributions in terms of skewness and kurtosis coefficients. The significance levels were set at p < 0.05. There were no significant differences in subdimensions (distributive-, procedural- and interactional-subdimensions) and the Revenge Scale in terms of gender, marital status, age, seniority and different age group variables. However, an ANONA found a significant difference in distributive justice subdimensions with regards to male participants (t= -1.663; p=.048<0.05) and a similar significant difference was found in the organizational revenge concept regarding the agents whose working time covered 1-12 years (F=2.566; p=.038<0.05). On the other hand, the correlational analysis found no significant relationship between agents’ organizational justice perception and organizational revenge tendency(r=-.062; p>0.05).Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAraştırmamızın amacı öğretmenlerin örgütsel adalet algıları ile örgütsel intikam (öç alma) hisleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu; Bursa ilinde görev yapan 78’i kadın, 129’u erkek olmak üzere toplam 207 Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; Stuckless ve Goranson (1992)’ ın geliştirdiği ve Satıcı vd. (2012; 2015)’ nın Türkçe’ ye uyarladığı “İntikam ölçeği” (Nayir, 2015 Güllü ve Şahin, 2016) ile Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) ‘ın geliştirdiği “Örgütsel Adalet Algılaması Ölçeği” (Abbasoğlu, 2015) kullanılmıştır. Veriler; istatistiki yöntemler, t-testi, ANOVA ve Pearson Korelasyon Yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Toplanan verilerden elde edilen sonuçlara bakıldığında, hem örgütsel intikam (öç alma) hem de örgütsel adalet algısı bağımlı değişkenlerinden elde edilen verilerin çarpıklık (skewness) ve basıklık (kurtosis) katsayılarının normal bir dağılıma sahip olduğu görülmektedir.  Anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Alt boyutlarda (dağıtımsal, adil işlem ve adil etkileşim alt boyutlarında) ve örgütsel intikam ölçeğinde cinsiyet, medeni durum, kıdem süresi, farklı yaş grupları değişkenlerinde manidar bir fark tespit edilememiştir. Ancak kadın ve erkek öğretmenler arasında dağıtımsal adalet konusunda erkekler lehine (t= -1,663; p=,048<0,05)  manidar fark tespit edilmiştir ANOVA testi sonucu;  örgütsel intikam kavramında kurumda çalışma süresi 1-12 yıl olan bireyler lehine (F=2,566; p=,038<0,05) anlamlı farklılık belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan; korelasyon analizi, bireylerin örgütsel adalet algısı ile örgütsel intikam eğilimleri arasında anlamlı ilişkinin olmadığı sonucunu vermektedir (r=-,062; p>0.05).

Abstract Background Rotavirus is considered the main causal factor of severe gastroenteritis among infants and children globally. The association with severe rotavirus infection is mostly worse among the least developed countries, mainly due to inadequate access to medical care and poverty. This study was conducted to determine the seasonal effects in respect of diarrhea cases in children, the association between diarrhea cases and Rota2 vaccine in the Fanteakwa District of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Methods The study compares monthly diarrhea cases against children vaccinated with Rota2 extracted from DHIMS2 spanning May 2012 to December 2017 in Fanteakwa District. A univariate association between diarrhea cases and children vaccinated with Rota 2 was conducted using the R-software version 3.4.4 with the use of forecast, tseries and TSAPred. Pearson Correlation coefficient was also computed between monthly diarrhea cases and Rota 2 as well as lagged values of Rota 2 and Diarrhea cases. Results The study shows that February recorded the highest average number of diarrhea cases (172) over the period 2012 to 2017 with a standard deviation of 59. However, a one-way analysis of variance shows a significant difference amongst the monthly averages with an F-statistic of 0.042 and P-value of 0.064. It is observed that the correlations between each of the Rota2 doses and the lagged cases are positive, showing higher Rota2 doses a month ago ((Xt − 1),0.346 to0.735), two months ago ((Xt − 2),0.383 to 0.746), three months ago ((Xt − 3), 0.330 to 0.737) and four months ago ((Xt − 4), 0.236 to 0.723) are associated with lower diarrhea cases. The results also show that an increase in the previous two month’s Rota2 figures by 100 is associated with a significant decrease in the currently expected diarrhea cases by approximately 36. Conclusion Seasonal variations exist in the occurrence of diarrhea in children, with January recording the highest number of diarrhea cases (172). There is a relationship between episodes of diarrhea in children and Rota2 (p-value = 0.064); thus, the more children are vaccinated with Rota2, the less diarrhea cases are recorded. Diarrhea cases in Fanteakwa district are generally low, except 2013 and 2016 where the cases are higher than the rest of the other years.

Background: The research objective of the study is to determine the differences in the manifestation of the motor status of normally fed preschool test subjects, classified into groups according to foot status. Methods: This is a simple, comparative observational study. Preschool children included in this study have been subjected to anthropometric measurements in order to determine BMI, tests for motor skills assessment (running at 20 m from a high start, standing broad jump, backwards polygon, rectangular seated forward bend, plate tapping, sit-ups for 60 s, and bent arm hang), and a determination of foot status. The total sample was comprised of 202 test subjects who attended a regular sports program, aged 3.9 to 6.5 years of decimal age (M = 141; Age = 5.3 ± 0.74; Height = 117.3 ± 7.1; Weight = 22 ± 3.7; F = 61; Age = 5.1 ± 0.73; Height = 114.9 ± 7.4; Weight = 21.2 ± 3.8), of which 153 (75.7%) were normally fed, 6 (3%) were undernourished, 30 were overweight (14.9%), and 13 were obese (6.4%). Results: In the total sample, 30 (14.9%) subjects had normal arch feet, 90 (44.6%) high arched feet, and 41 (20.3%) flat feet. We found 41 (20.3%) subjects who had different left and right foot statuses within this sample. The data were processed by means of nonparametric tests (the Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests) at a significance level p ≤ 0.05. Conclusion: The results show that there is a statistically significant difference between groups of subjects with different foot statuses in the manifestation of motor status in most tests, with a significance level of p ≤ 0.01, and in tests of sit-ups for 60 s and the bent arm hang, there is a statistically significant difference, the level of which is p ≤ 0.05. It is only in the inclination test of rectangular seated forward bend that no statistically significant difference was displayed.

Background: Physician review websites have influence on a patient’s selection of a provider. Written reviews are subjective and difficult to quantitatively analyze. Sentiment analysis of writing can quantitatively assess surgeon reviews to provide actionable feedback for surgeons to improve practice. The objective of this study is to quantitatively analyze large subset of written reviews of hand surgeons using sentiment analysis and report unbiased trends in words used to describe the reviewed surgeons and biases associated with surgeon demographic factors. Methods: Online written and star-rating reviews of hand surgeons were obtained from healthgrades.com and webmd.com . A sentiment analysis package was used to calculate compound scores of all reviews. Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to determine the relationship between demographic variables and average sentiment score of written reviews. Positive and negative word and word-pair frequency analysis was also performed. Results: A total of 786 hand surgeons’ reviews were analyzed. Analysis showed a significant relationship between the sentiment scores and overall average star-rated reviews ( r2 = 0.604, P ≤ .01). There was no significant difference in review sentiment by provider sex; however, surgeons aged 50 years and younger had more positive reviews than older ( P < .01). The most frequently used bigrams used to describe top-rated surgeons were associated with good bedside manner and efficient pain management, whereas those with the worst reviews are often characterized as rude and unable to relieve pain. Conclusions: This study provides insight into both demographic and behavioral factors contributing to positive reviews and reinforces the importance of pain expectation management.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between leisure management and test anxiety levels of university students and their differentiation status in terms of some demographic variables. Methods: The relational survey model was used in the study, and there were 284 (147 male and 137 female) university students selected from the universe by convenient sampling method. Personal information form prepared by the researchers, “Leisure Management Scale (LMS)” and “Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI)” were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t-Test and Pearson Correlation analyzes were used by using SPSS 26.0 program. Results: There was no significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the leisure management scale and the total score averages according to the gender variable, while a significant difference was found in the TAI "delusional", "affective" sub-dimensions and total score averages. According to the family income variable of university students, a low-level and negative significant relationship was found in the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension of LMS, and in the total TAI and "delusional sub-dimension". A significant relationship was found between the age variable and the "goal setting and method" sub-dimension of LMS. A low and negative significant relationship was found between leisure and "goal setting and method", "leisure attitude" and total LMS score averages. In addition, while there was no significant relationship between LMS and TAI, it was found that there was a low and negative significant relationship between the "leisure attitude" sub-dimension and the test anxiety inventory and its sub-dimensions. Conclusion: It can be said that as the level of attitude towards leisure activities of university students’ increases, the feeling of exam anxiety may decrease, and the increase in free time will adversely affect the level of leisure management and attitude. Keywords: University students, Leisure management, Exam anxiety level. *It was presented as an oral presentation at the 5th Academic Sports Research Congress
