In this context, the first aim of the study is to calculate the significance levels of the components that make up the Social Development Index for 2020 according to the G7 group countries using the Entropy method. The second aim of the study is to determine the social development performances of these countries with the Entropy-based Gray Relational Analysis method. Finally, the third purpose of the study is to measure the relationships between the Social Development Index values of the countries and the social development performance values of the countries determined within the scope of Entropy-based GIA, MAUT, WASPAS, COPRAS, EDAS, ARAS and TOPSIS Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods. Based on the findings, it was determined that the most important component of the Social Development Index according to the G7 group countries is inclusiveness. According to the Entropy-based Gray Relational Analysis method, the social development performances of the countries are ranked as Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom and USA. Within the scope of the research, it was found that the Social Development Index values of the countries provided the most relationship with the values determined as a result of the Gray Relational Analysis method within the framework of the mentioned Entropy-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making techniques. Therefore, it has been concluded that Social Development Index can be explained in general terms with the Gray Relational Analysis method.

Since most of the items that were developed in other cultural contexts are similar to each other and they reflect the cultural issues related to the cultural contexts, an examination of turnover intention variable in our cultural context is required. So, in this study a scale of ?Turnover Intention? was developed to determine the workers? intention to leave the job. The scale contains 8 items and it is a 5-point Likert type of scale ranging from 1 ?I completely agree? to 5 ?I totally disagree?. The confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis were performed for validity analysis of the data collected from 152 participants. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, two main dimensions (factors) were emerged and these two dimensions were named as ?the willingness to leave the job? and ?the difficulties and worries that will be encountered when leaving the job?. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, goodness of fit indices coincides with the predicted two-factor structure of the scale. For reliability analysis, internal consistency coefficiency were performed and it was found as 0.88. According to the result of the statistical analysis, the scale was found to be valid and reliable.

Countries have come to use their economic, political and social advantages more in providing economic growth processes. In this framework, while developed countries try to maintain their current positions, developing and underdeveloped countries try to gain a place for themselves in the global world and close the distance with developed countries by trying to increase their competitive power. The meaning of providing competitiveness within the scope of economic growth includes providing a better standard of living as a result of increasing the welfare to a certain level by increasing individuals and social income. Determining the impact of middle-income countries' competitive power on economic growth, examining in which areas their competitive power is high and in which areas low, is of great importance in terms of making necessary improvements. Therefore, the effects of competitiveness and its determinants on economic growth have been increasingly discussed in recent years and are subject to various studies. From this point of view, the purpose of the study is to reveal the effects of competition on growth for the BRICS-T countries, a group of developing countries, with the help of panel cointegration analysis. In the panel, it was concluded that a 1% increase in the global competition index variable in the long term would lead to a 6.1% increase in the GDP variable. A positive significant relationship was determined. Also, bi-directional causality has been determined between growth and competition.
