Why did you choose this topic for research?
Human resource management in an economic turbulence is today a very important problem. Human resources are a set of different qualities of people that determine their ability to work to produce spiritual and material goods and are a general indicator of the development of social production.
The Covid-19 pandemic and accompanying regulations aimed at preventing the spread of the virus have affected all organizations regardless of size and type, as well as employees and managers. Lack of demand, termination of contracts and orders, postponement, or cancellation of business trips and, as a result, higher prices for raw materials led to a decrease in the company's income. However, in some cases, after the lockdown, demand for appliances, food delivery service and online shopping increased.
The crisis has led to changes in working hours, jobs, and the welfare of employees in general. Thus, the support of HRMs has played an important role in helping staff adapt to new norms and contribute to the transition process.
Therefore, this study will seek to examine organizational support for HRM with their initiatives during economic turbulence with taking into account changes in work, work schedule and workplaces.

PhD Topic: Public Administration in Inclusive Education: Challenges and Prospects


Your Previous education?
I received my Master's degree in International Relations from Japan International University. At the moment I am a lecturer at the Suleiman Demirel University.

Why did you choose Narxoz University?
While studying and working at SDU, I heard a lot from my colleagues about Narxoz University, that the research base of the university is very strong, and that Narxoz provides a good opportunity to develop oneself in the research field, both various PhD programs and the faculty. When I myself began to examine this university in detail, I was convinced of this.

Why did you choose this topic for research?
I have been in the field of education for over 5 years. Before the SDU, I also worked in schools, so problems and prospects for the development of education have always interested me. And the issues of inclusion, equality and integration probably worried me more because of my previous master's degree in international relations. Inclusive education, the process of which, although started in 1994, remains a complex and controversial issue in public administration, where there is no single global solution or approach. Different countries deal with this process differently. Only 10% of all children with disabilities in the world go to school, and only 5% receive primary education. Therefore, I want to consider how successfully our country is introducing inclusion in schools and what problems it faces.

When did you realize that you wanted to study for a PhD?
I realized that I wanted to get PhD degree, probably after I worked for several years, I realized what I want, where I aspire and where I see myself in the future. Honestly, I had a desire to study for a PhD immediately after graduation, but then I was not yet sure who I want to become in the future.

Why do you want to get a degree?
Obtaining a PhD will expand my horizons and opportunities to climb the career ladder, and improve my research skills

How did you hear about the Narxoz doctoral programs?
I learned about the Narxoz doctoral programs from my colleagues who also enrolled in PhD before me.

What do you think is the most interesting thing in the process of studying for a PhD?
The most interesting thing in the process of studying for a PhD is communication, for example, conduct interviews, meet different people and experts in your field, learn and share experiences with them, hold discussions, participate in conferences, and do internships

And what do you think will be most challenging?
The most difficult thing is probably to follow all the latest discoveries and research in your field, not to miss anything and find novelty in the field of your research. giving. But the most important thing is to keep motivated all the years of studying for a PhD.

Do you have any plans for after your PhD?
After completing my PhD, I certainly want to continue to work in higher education, share my knowledge and do research. And most importantly, to contribute to the development of inclusive education!
