Relationships Between Internal Marketing and Job Performance Mediated by Psychological Ownership Among Fitness Centers' Employees: An Empirical Analysis Using PLS-SEM Techniques Yıldız, Kadir; Yıldız, Süleyman Murat; Polat, Ercan This study examined the relationship between internal marketing and job performance as the mediating variable of psychological ownership by focusing on fitness center trainers. The convenience sampling technique was used in the study. Data were collected from fitness centers engaged in business in Turkey. The research group consists of 177 fitness center trainers. The model test with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used as the analysis technique in the study. The results support the model proposal that fitness center trainers' internal marketing experiences play a role in job performance both directly and indirectly through psychological ownership. Therefore, fitness centers should give importance to internal marketing to improve the experiences of their employees and obtain corporate ownership. This will increase employees' job performance, and, consequently, customer satisfaction will be positively affected.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN WORKPLACE MOBBING BEHAVIORS AND REVENGE THOUGHTS: EMPIRICAL RESULTS FROM HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS Yıldız, Süleyman Murat; Güllü, Sevim Research on the relationship between mobbing in the workplace and thoughts of revenge in the literature is very limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine and better understand the relationships between these two variables. The sample for the study was collected from academics who worked in higher education institutions. Correlations and hierarchical regression analyzes were used to explore relationships between study variables, and the results show statistically significant and positive relationships between mobbing and thoughts of revenge. It is even noteworthy that bullying has a high level of influence on thoughts of revenge. The managerial and research implications and contributions of the study are discussed.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERNAL MARKETING AND MOBBING (MORAL HARASSMENT) IN THE WORKPLACE: EMPIRICAL RESULTS OF SPORTS ORGANIZATION Yıldız, Süleyman Murat Internal marketing and workplace mobbing are among the important facts that affect the efficiency and performance of organizations. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between internal marketing and mobbing behaviors. Data for the study were obtained from employees working at organizations providing sports services in Turkey. The study used the IM-11 scale developed by Yildiz and Kara (2017) to measure the employees internal marketing perception and the MS-A developed by Yildiz (2020a) to measure mobbing behaviors. The validity and reliability results in this study strongly demonstrated that both scales developed for higher education institutions can be applied to employees of sports services organizations. Correlation and regression analysis showed a significant and negative relationship between internal marketing and mobbing (beta=-0.471; p < 0.001). While internal marketing was moderately effective on vertical mobbing (beta=-0.376; p < 0.001), its highest effect was on vertical/horizontal mobbing (beta=-0.486; p < 0.001). The results of this study showed that internal marketing practices can be highly effective in preventing possible mobbing behavior among employees. Hence, managers who want to create a work environment free of conflict and low efficiency should effectively implement internal marketing within the organization.

Effects of 10 weeks of imagery and concentration training on visual focus and free-throw performance in basketball players Uludağ Uyanıker, Saadet Sevil; Dorak, Ferudun; Vurgun, Nilgün; Yüzbaşıoğlu, Yasin; Ateş, Ercan Problem Statement: Free throw shooting is one of the unique techniques applied in the game of basketball. It is a technique that needs special attention to develop due to the fact that it is a unique shot. As much as physiological characteristics prepare the body for the shot, it is important to acknowledge that psychological state of the player affects it, too. Free throw shots can be vital for winning games. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of 10 weeks of imagery and concentration training on visual focus and free-throw performance in basketball players. The participants consisted of 29 basketball players (11 female, 18 male) from different teams in Izmir that compete at the youth level (age 15.62 ±,09). Approach: The participants were divided equally into homogenous groups pre-test and were evaluated based on their success rate. While the study was not done with the control group, the implementation was done with the imagery and concentration group for 10 weeks, three times a week for 15 minutes a day. Concentration studies were done with yantra. In the imagery studies, the athlete was asked to watch the recording of the best shot they made, and to recreate it. Before the participants recreate it, they were advised to read the imagery script and then use the information provided to mentally recreate this material from their desired viewpoint and from an alternative perspective. At the end of 10 weeks, the athletes were tested again. The study investigated whether the mental training affected visual focus or performance or not.Results: The results of this study revealed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-testing protocols of the concentration group, while the control and imagery groups revealed no significant difference (p<0.028). Conclusions: Present findings show that concentration trainings with yantra have an improving effect on visual focus. In order to better understand the effect of imagery and concentration training on performance, different tests can be done. Also, before investigating the effects of imagery trainings on performance, imagery skills of the athletes can be measured.
