In Value Creation: The Mediating Roles of Lean Sustainability and Sustainable Quality Culture in Linking Values‐Based Leadership to Organizational Outcomes
This research investigates the mechanisms by which value‐based leadership (VBL) impacts critical organizational outcomes, namely, operational performance (OPP), business performance (BSP), and business survival (BSV). Specifically, it examines the mediating roles of lean sustainability (LES) and sustainable quality culture (SQC) in translating leadership into tangible results. The research employs a quantitative research design using survey data collected from 402 middle and senior‐level managers. The proposed research model and hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) with SmartPLS 4. A two‐stage analytical approach was followed, involving the evaluation of the measurement model (reliability and validity) and the structural model (path coefficients and mediating effects). The direct effect of values‐based leadership on sustainable quality culture (β = 0.759; t = 26.912; p < 0.001) was identified as the strongest relationship in the model. In the mediation analysis, the indirect effect of values‐based leadership on lean sustainability through sustainable quality culture (β = 0.395; t = 12.494; p < 0.001) emerged as the most prominent mediation mechanism. All seven proposed hypotheses (between H1 and H7) were statistically supported, with coefficients excluding zero within the 95% confidence interval and significance levels of p < 0.001. While the research uses a robust sample of 402 managers, the use of non‐probability purposive sampling may limit generalizability. Future research could adopt longitudinal designs to further validate causal links over time or examine these dynamics across different sectors to determine whether sectoral nuances affect the mediating effect.

Hierarchical Determinants of Halal Product Purchase Intention: A Value–Attitude–Behavior (VAB) Model Perspective
The primary aim of this study is to identify the determinants of purchase intention for halal products. The theoretical foundation of the research is based on the VAB Hierarchy Model. Within this framework, the study examines the relationships among religious belief, attitude, and purchase intention. The research data were collected from consumers aged 18 and above through an online survey using a convenience sampling technique. To test the research hypotheses, CB-SEM was employed, and data were analyzed using the AMOS program. The findings obtained from the data of 451 participants indicate that religious belief and attitude are the factors that directly influence purchase intention toward halal products. The study reveals that religious belief has an effect on purchase intention both directly and indirectly through attitude. Furthermore, the positive attitude developed toward halal products has been statistically confirmed to have a significant impact on consumers’ purchase intentions. In addition, attitude plays a mediating role in the relationship between religious belief and purchase intention toward halal products. By empirically examining the primary determinants of halal product purchase intention, this study contributes to the theoretical literature on consumer behavior. Moreover, from an academic perspective aimed at understanding consumer tendencies in the halal product market, the research expands the relevant body of literature.

How Does Organizational Culture Foster Sustainability? The Mediating Effects of Innovation Capability, Quality Orientation, and Organizational Innovation
This research purpose to investigate the internal mechanism by which organizational culture (OC) affects sustainability (SUS). Utilizing Resource‐Based Views (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities theory, the study examines the mediating roles of innovative capability (INC), quality orientation (QUO), and organizational innovation (ORI) in the relationship between culture and sustainability. A quantitative research design was adopted, using survey data collected from 416 managers and directors from 500 randomly selected technology‐focused firms operating in Istanbul Technoparks. Data collected between March and June 2025 were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM) via SmartPLS 4 to test the proposed mediating effects. The results provide empirical support for the “culture‐capability‐performance” chain. Innovative capability (H1) and quality orientation (H2) were found to significantly mediate the relationship between organizational culture and sustainability. However, the mediating role of organizational innovation (H3) was rejected. This suggests that structural or results‐oriented innovation alone, without being supported by specific skills and orientations, may not be sufficient to bridge the gap between culture and sustainability in this context. The research is geographically limited to firms within Istanbul Technoparks; this may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other regions or sectors. Furthermore, the data represent the perspectives of senior management; future research could include the views of lower‐level employees to provide a more multi‐layered view of organizational culture.

Investigating the Drivers of Purchase Intention and Willingness to Pay a Price Premium for Dietary Supplements
This study examines and analyzes the effect of health consciousness, awareness, subjective norm, and trust on consumers' purchase intention of dietary supplements and their willingness to pay a price premium. Data were collected from 1717 participants in Türkiye through an online survey using a convenience sampling technique, and the hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS 24. The findings indicate that subjective norms, trust, and awareness positively affect purchase intention in the context of dietary supplements, whereas health consciousness does not. Moreover, subjective norms and trust have a positive impact on willingness to pay a price premium, whereas health consciousness and awareness do not show a significant effect. These results provide insights into how trust and social influence shape purchasing decisions and price tolerance for dietary supplements, offering valuable guidance for marketers in designing communication and positioning strategies in post‐pandemic markets.

Sürdürülebilir Pazarlama Alanında Gelecek Araştırma Perspektiflerine Yönelik Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz
Bu araştırmanın amacı, sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanındaki çalışmaları sistematik bir şekilde incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda bu araştırma sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanında, bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak Web of Scince (WOS) veri tabanından elde edilen veriler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmada, sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanına ait mevcut literatür analiz edilerek alanın temel yapının belirlemesine yönelik yayımlanmış ve araştırma kapsamına uygun olduğu belirlenen 2001-2024 yılları arasında yayımlanan 268 çalışma seçilmiştir. Sonuçlar alanda en çok çalışmanın Yang Sun ve Juran Kim tarafından gerçekleştirildiğini ve en çok atıf alan çalışmanın Journal of Cleaner Production dergisinde Dangelico ve Vocalelli (2017) tarafından gerçekleştirilen çalışma olduğunu göstermiştir. Ortak kelime analizi sonucu oluşan anahtar kelime ağına ve kümeleme analizine ait sonuçlar ise oluşan 10 kümenim sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanının hem teorik hem de uygulamaya yönelik çok boyutlu yapıya sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Oluşan kümeler sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanının sadece çevresel unsurlarla sınırlı olmadığını, aynı zamanda markalaşma, rekabet avantajı, tüketici davranışı, etik ve sosyal sorumluluk gibi işletmeleri ve tüketicileri yakından ilgilendiren birçok unsuru da barındırmaktadır. Bu araştırmada sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanında yapılan çalışmaların performans gelişimi de incelendiğinden elde edilen sonuçlar, alanın hem nitel hem de nicel olarak giderek güçlendiğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, sürdürülebilir pazarlama alanının hem araştırmacılar hem de yayın yapılan dergiler açısından dinamik ve gelişmekte olan bir alan olduğunu göstermektedir. Gerçekleştirilen bibliyometrik analiz sonuçları, sürdürülebilir pazarlama literatüründe henüz yeterince derinlemesine incelenmemiş alanların bulunduğuna da işaret etmektedir. Özellikle dijital dönüşüm ve sürdürülebilir pazarlama arasındaki ilişki, gelecekte ele alınabilecek potansiyel araştırma konuları arasındadır.
