Emerging technologies have become pivotal in advancing green sustainability by fostering innovative solutions to environmental challenges while promoting economic growth. This chapter explores the transformative potential of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Industry 4.0 innovations in optimizing resource management, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts. Also it highlights the critical role of sustainable energy technologies, digital circular economy practices, and financial innovations in driving systemic change. By examining the interplay between technological advancements, economic considerations, and policy frameworks, the chapter underscores the need for integrative approaches to achieve sustainability goals and also addresses limitations, including the digital divide, technological integration challenges, and lifecycle impacts, and identifies future research directions. These include equitable access to technologies, hybrid systems, and interdisciplinary strategies that align innovation with environmental and social objectives. To conclude, this chapter offers a comprehensive understanding of how emerging technologies can serve as catalysts for sustainable development, paving the way for a resilient and equitable future. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
The Impact of Physical Environment on Customer Loyalty in Upscale Restaurants in Turkey
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2025) Almohammad, D.; Kılıç, C.; Bek, D.R.; Almohammadalsulaiman, H.
This study investigates how physical environmental factors impact customer satisfaction and loyalty in upscale restaurants, employing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to overcome typical constraints of small and medium samples. PLS-SEM’s capacity to handle complex mediation and multiple latent variables strengthens the robustness of the findings. Data collected from fine-dining venues in culturally rich regions of southeastern Turkey indicate that elements such as aesthetics, ambiance, and service staff quality play significant roles in shaping customer satisfaction, which in turn strongly influences loyalty. Some environmental factors, including table setting and lighting, showed limited direct effects but still contributed indirectly through satisfaction. The interplay between physical environment and human interaction highlights a comprehensive approach to enhancing customer experience. While providing meaningful insights, the study’s focus on specific regional and cultural context limits generalizability, highlighting the need for broader research across different hospitality sectors and geographic areas. Nonetheless, the findings enhance the theoretical framework by confirming the mediating role of satisfaction within the DINESCAPE model and offer practical implications for hospitality managers aiming to foster customer retention through strategic environmental design. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Sustainable Livelihood of Refugees in Turkey: Does Entrepreneurship Make a Difference
(IGI Global, 2025) Almohammad, D.; Durrah, O.; Inan, C.; Bek, D.R.; 04.02. Department of Management / İşletme Bölümü; 04. Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences / İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This study examines the impact of livelihoods dimensions on the Syrian refugees in Turkey considering the role of entrepreneurship in this nexus. A quantitative approach was used in this study, through a sample of 470 refugees scattered across Turkey. Using AMOS to analyze the data, the findings indicate that refugee environment, social networks, and training have positive impacts on refugees' livelihoods, whereas COVID-19 context is negatively associated with their livelihood. Furthermore, entrepreneurship has a promising role in improving refugee livelihood and mitigating negative impacts. These findings reinforce all policies that incentivize refugees to cover part of the cost of their lives, and therefore they may be useful in providing constructive insights for government policymakers in the refugee-hosting country, as well as for international organizations. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
