Abstract:
Bu çalışma, Türk İş Hukuku’nda denkleştirme kavramına ve uygulanma sürecine odaklanmaktadır. Denkleştirme uygulaması, işverenlerin çalışanları haftalık çalışma süresinin üzerinde çalıştıklarında bu fazla çalışma sürelerini sonraki haftalarda eksik çalışma olarak kullandırabilecekleri bir sistemdir. Bu sistem, işin yoğun olduğu dönemlerde çalışanların fazla çalışmalarının karşılığında ücret ve dinlenme sürelerinin dengelenmesini sağlamaktadır. Çalışan perspektifinden ele alındığında, bu sistem onlara fazla çalışma sürelerini dinlenme süresi olarak kullanma fırsatı sunar ve günümüzde esnek çalışma modeli olarak da kullanılmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışanların kendilerine dinlenme süreleri ve çalışma sürelerini dengeleme şansı vermektedir. Çalışmada, denkleştirme sürelerinin perakende sektöründeki uygulama örneklerine yer verilmiş, Türkiye’deki ve Avrupa’daki hukuki boyutu incelenmiş ve uygulama çalışanlar açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Denkleştirme uygulaması hem hukuki açıdan hem de insan kaynakları yönetimi açısından değerlendirildiğinde çeşitli avantaj ve dezavantajlar barındırmaktadır. Literatür tartışmalarının ardından 92 perakende mağazası yöneticisiyle yapılan panel toplantısı sonrasında, perakende sektöründe denkleştirme uygulamasıyla çalışan 18 satış temsilcisi ile mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, uygulamada denkleştirilemeyen süreler, denkleştirme sürelerinin takip zorluğu, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği açısından oluşan riskler, resmî tatillerde denkleştirmeyi uygulama güçlüğü, fazla çalışma karşılığında çalışana ücretinin ödenmemesi gibi sorunlara öneriler üretilmiştir. Ayrıca denkleştirme politikalarının daha etkili hale getirilmesi için çalışan ve yöneticilere yönelik eğitimlerin verilmesi sürecin şeffaf bir şekilde sürdürülmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.

Another study in our journal is titled “Development of Maritime Public Transportation in Istanbul in the Framework of Organic Transportation Approach”. The study conducted by Ceyhun İlsever and Ayşe Buse Cılız aims to make concrete suggestions for the development of urban maritime public transportation in Istanbul in line with the principles and criteria of organic transportation, which is developed as one of the approaches to integration, accessibility, and governance in transportation.

The article by Ecem Kıran, Yaren Erdoğdu ve Naci Can Sümengen is titled “Examining the Relationship Between Eating Attitudes and Self-Compassion”. As its title suggests, this study aimed to examine the relationship between eating attitudes and self-compassion and to investigate the prevalence of this relationship in a non-clinical sample by evaluating it in terms of chronic and psychological disorders. As a result, a statistically significant negative relationship between disordered eating attitudes and self-compassion levels is found; in addition, results shows that the self-compassion levels of participants diagnosed with a psychological disorder were significantly lower, while participants with a chronic disease had eating attitudes that were significantly disordered compared to participants without a psychological disorder. In addition to the research articles briefly summarized above, we have also included a book review in this issue. Ahmet Tuğşad Doğukan and Fatih Dağ reviewed Thomas Piketty’s “Nature, Culture et Inégalités” book. According to the reviewers, in this book, Piketty examines the complex dynamics of socioeconomic disparities, questioning traditional assumptions that can be characterized as deterministic and offering an innovative perspective on the causes and evolution of inequality. While traditional assumptions emphasize natural factors such as individual abilities or resource endowments, Piketty argues that contrary to these factors, political and social forces have been more influential in the course of inequality throughout history.
