    Beyond technology: the role of stakeholder influence and organizational politics in ERP readiness
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Arslan, Aykut; Kirmizi, Mehmet; Karakas, Serkan; Kocaoglu, Batuhan
    PurposeThis study introduces a novel political lens to ERP readiness assessment, moving beyond technical checklists to reveal how stakeholder power dynamics shape pre-implementation success. Using a mixed-method design integrating DEMATEL and ANP, we identify causality and weightings among readiness factors as perceived by different stakeholder groups.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach was adopted, integrating a systematic literature review with expert validation, followed by DEMATEL and Analytic Network Process (ANP) techniques. Data was collected from five stakeholder groups-project managers, ERP system managers, users, vendors, and consultants-to model causal relationships and stakeholder priorities across 13 ERP readiness dimensions.FindingsThe results demonstrate that readiness is not merely a static technical state but a dynamic outcome of political negotiation. Vision and Strategy emerged as the most causally influential dimension, while Project Manager and Team Competency received the highest stakeholder priority. High inter-group agreement (ICC = 0.988) underscores the shared understanding of politically salient readiness factors.Practical implicationsManagers are advised to incorporate stakeholder mapping, influence analysis, and political engagement strategies in readiness assessments. The proposed framework enables organizations to surface political risks early and align stakeholder interests, thereby increasing the likelihood of ERP success.Originality/valueThis study introduces a politically informed ERP readiness framework, grounded in Vroom's Expectancy Theory and Organizational Politics Theory. By extending traditional models, it positions readiness as an emergent property of stakeholder interaction, negotiation, and coalition-building-offering novel insights within the BPM domain. Our findings contribute a theory-driven, politically grounded ERP readiness model that offers both diagnostic insight and prescriptive guidance for ERP leaders.

    Women in maritime career: Are they still discriminated?
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2026) Arslan, Aykut; Sahinoglu, Özgür Sivan; Karakas, Serkan; Kirmizi, Mehmet
    This research embarks on a journey to explore three antecedents of career theory: career regret, career aspirations, and work meaningfulness, and their intricate relationship with gender discrimination in a male-dominated workplace, specifically the maritime industry. This study is firmly rooted in self-determination theory, which posits that three innate psychological needs–competence, autonomy, and relatedness–guide individuals to grow and change. This study focuses on the career pendulum of women seafarers, a critical area that aims to draw attention to and assist career scholars and practitioners in comprehending, predicting, and facilitating a broader context of career literature's subjective outcomes through the lens of women employees in a male-dominated workplace. A conceptual model is unveiled, incorporating the negative aspects of career theory, namely gender discrimination and career regret. Both of these significantly and negatively affect job meaningfulness, and career regret has a mediation role in gender discrimination and job meaningfulness; at the same time, career aspirations moderate the relationship between career regret and job meaningfulness. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd.
