In this context, the effects of the Bond Index (BONO), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Deposit Index (MEV), and the US Dollar to Turkish Lira Exchange Rate (USDTR) on the BIST100 Index (BIST) were analyzed for the period from 2005 to 2023 on a monthly basis. Using this data, we applied the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method to derive empirical results. The research findings indicate that over the long term, the BONO, CPI, and MEV variables have a statistically significant impact on the BIST index. However, the influence of USDTR on the BIST is statistically insignificant. While the BONO and CPI variables positively affect the BIST, the MEV variable has a negative impact.

This paper covers several communication techniques, examining the theoretical foundations and real-world implementations of each. Key communication methods that improve stakeholder participation and project success are identified through a mixed-method approach that includes surveys and case studies. The best communication strategies are those that are customized and take stakeholders' requirements and preferences into account, based upon the findings. By offering project managers practical advice and insights for improving stakeholder communication, this study develops the field of project management.

This paper systematically reviews the interplay between occupational stress and performance, drawing from diverse studies conducted across emerging and advanced economies. The review highlights the theoretical frameworks underlying occupational stress, the mediating mechanisms that link stress with performance, and the moderating role of leadership and organizational practices. Key insights reveal that occupational stress, exacerbated by cultural, economic, and organizational factors, significantly hampers productivity and innovation. Leadership styles, such as inclusive and ethical leadership, emerge as crucial mitigators of stress's adverse effects. Recommendations for organizational interventions and policy changes are proposed, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches to stress management. This review contributes to the discourse on sustainable workforce practices, providing a roadmap for future research and practical implementation.

Agile leadership underscores adaptability, collaboration, and delivery of customer value, while servant leadership centers on serving team members, nurturing their development, and cultivating a supportive atmosphere. This investigation scrutinizes pertinent literature, presents findings from recent projects, and offers insights into the advantages and constraints of both leadership approaches. The result suggests that while agile leadership excels in dynamic, fast-paced settings, servant leadership fosters team cohesion and enduring success. The paper concludes with recommendations for project managers to select the appropriate leadership style based on project requirements.

It provides practical examples to enhance the understanding of resistance, as well as the stressors induced by both resistance and change. Furthermore, it discusses how effective training programs can help individuals navigate these phases. Successful change management integrates strategies to support both individuals and organizations in adapting to evolving circumstances. Since the mid-20th century, frameworks like Kurt Lewin’s “Three-Stage Model” and William Bridges’ “Transition Model” have outlined key approaches for managing change. Despite these contributions, resistance remains a significant challenge, arising from personal, intellectual, and cultural factors. As primary agents of change, organizational leaders must utilize structured processes, tools, and models—such as ADKAR and McKinsey’s 7S—to effectively address resistance and implement change. This paper delves into the complexities of organizational change, the critical role of leadership, and strategies to mitigate resistance, highlighting the importance of cultivating a culture of adaptability to ensure long-term success in a dynamic business environment.
