    Effectiveness in the furniture industry: artificial intelligence, big data and sustainable design
    Adiguzel, Z; Cakir, FS; Morgul, UA
    PurposeThis research aims to investigate the interaction between artificial intelligence (AI) capability, big data capabilities, sustainability design and organizational effectiveness in the context of the furniture industry. It aims to explore how investments in AI and big data technologies can spur sustainability-focused innovation and ultimately increase corporate performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on data collected from businesses operating in the furniture industry, this research uses a quantitative approach to analyze the relationships between independent variables (AI capability and big data features), mediating variable (sustainability design) and dependent variable (organizational effectiveness). The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to test the proposed theoretical model and hypotheses. The SmartPLS program was used for analysis.FindingsAnalysis results show a significant positive relationship between AI capability, big data capabilities, sustainability design and organizational effectiveness in the furniture industry. Moreover, sustainability design demonstrates its important role in translating technological advances into tangible performance results by mediating the relationship between AI capability, big data capabilities and organizational effectiveness.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this research contributes valuable insights, it also has limitations. It would not be appropriate to make a general assessment of the generalizability of the findings due to the focus on the furniture industry and the fact that the data of the research were collected from furniture-producing companies in Istanbul. Future research could explore additional industries and incorporate qualitative methods to provide a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving the observed relationships.Practical implicationsThe findings offer valuable insights to industry practitioners seeking to leverage the potential of AI and big data technologies to increase sustainable organizational effectiveness. Practical implications include strategic recommendations for integrating sustainability principles into organizational strategies, leveraging data-driven decision-making processes and encouraging innovation through technological investments.Originality/valueThe originality of this research lies in its comprehensive examination of the intertwined dynamics between AI capability, big data capabilities, sustainability design and organizational effectiveness, especially in the context of the furniture industry. By combining knowledge from multiple disciplines, this research offers a new perspective on the strategic implications of technological innovation for sustainable business practices.

    Enhancing firm performance and sustainability through creativity-oriented HRM and quality management: the mediating role of commercialization in the IT sector
    Adiguzel, Z; Cakir, FS; Morgul, UA
    PurposeThe research examines the impact of creativity-oriented human resources management (HRM) and quality management (QM) on firm performance, social sustainability and environmental performance, focusing on the mediating role of commercialization.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 527 experts based in Istanbul with at least 5 years of experience in the information technologies (IT) sector. The sample includes a demographic distribution according to age ranges and educational qualifications. Using a survey containing 47 scales, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) analyzes were conducted through Jamovi 2.3.28.FindingsThe results show that both creativity-oriented HRM and QM positively affect commercialization. In addition, commercialization positively affects firm performance, social sustainability and environmental performance, thus establishing a mediating role in the relationship between management practices and performance results.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is limited to the IT sector in Istanbul, Turkey, and may not be generalizable to other regions or sectors. Future research may expand geographic and sectoral coverage to confirm and extend these findings.Practical implicationsCompanies can leverage creative HRM and QM strategies not only to increase commercialization efforts but also to achieve superior firm performance, social sustainability and environmental outcomes. This highlights the strategic role of HR and quality initiatives in driving overall business success.Social implicationsIn the research, it is stated that creativity-oriented HR is important to promote human capital as an important driver of performance improvement, supported by the resource-based view (RBV) theory. Also, by supporting the dynamic capabilities theory, by promoting quality and creativity, innovations can be better commercialized and both performance outcomes and sustainability results can be positively affected.Originality/valueThis research provides new insights into the mediating effects of commercialization between internal management practices and broad performance measures in the IT sector. It underlines the importance of promoting innovative HR and quality practices to achieve sustainable business performance.
