The study aims to evaluate how personality traits affect transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant leadership styles. It uses the quantitative approach with a non-experimental research design; the data were collected cross-sectionally, with a correlational-causal scope. The sample included 418 professionals studying MBA at private universities in Ecuador and working in private companies. Personality traits were measured with the Revised NEO-PI-R Personality Inventory, while the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) measured leadership styles through the survey. Data analysis included the use of correlations and multivariate regression models. The results show that openness to experience (β = 0.100*), extraversion (β = 0.217**), conscientiousness (β = 0.239**), and work experience (β = 0.086*) generated a positive and meaningful effect on transformational leadership. Neuroticism was also significant but with a negative standardized coefficient (β = –0.445**). Also, extraversion (β = 0.169**), conscientiousness (β = 0.303**), and work experience (β = 0.222**) had a positive and significant effect on transactional leadership; neuroticism was also significant but with a negative standardized coefficient (β = –0.243**). Finally, extraversion (β = –0.311**) and conscientiousness (β = –0.192**) had a negative and significant effect, and neuroticism (β = 0.451**) had a positive and significant effect on the passive-avoidant leadership style.

The COVID-19 crisis presented devastating effects on global healthcare, and Jordan was no exception. During such unforeseen challenges, attention shifts to healthcare leadership and management. However, limited research explored the leadership adjustment in Jordanian hospitals during the pandemic. Therefore, this study examined the challenges and opportunities that arose alongside the outbreak of the pandemic in Jordanian hospitals from the leaders’ perspectives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare managers in three Jordanian hospitals, focusing on three key areas: healthcare reform integration, the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on hospital performance and healthcare quality, and management practices to handle the pandemic. Interviews were transcribed and thematically analyzed. Eleven hospital managers in seven administrative positions were involved. Three thematic outcomes were noted regarding the integration of healthcare reforms into the Jordanian healthcare system: sources of reforms, challenges of reform integration, and timely integration of the reforms. Positive impacts of the crisis on the Jordanian hospitals’ performance and quality of healthcare service delivery, which are considered opportunities, resulted in three thematic outcomes: infection control protocol, staff education, and patient management. On the other hand, three thematic concepts emerged as challenges of the COVID-19 crisis: workload, stress and fatigue, and staff shortages. Lastly, this study noted three thematic outcomes regarding management practices adopted by the Jordanian healthcare systems to deal with the pandemic: staff training, monitoring, and social support.

The formation of the country’s tax competitiveness and countering the shadowing of the economy depend on several factors. One of them is an effective public administration. It defines state policy vectors, institutions’ critical tasks, and business and society development priorities. The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of good governance on the country’s tax competitiveness and the level of the shadow economy of 11 EU countries and Ukraine in 2011–2021. The study employs statistical analysis of data series. It constructs a correlation field of points of relationship between indicators (to determine the general trends of changes in the level of the shadow economy, tax competitiveness, and the Good Governance Index). Linear mathematical model and Fishburn formula are used to construct an integral indicator of the level of efficiency of public management (Good Governance Index). Structural modeling methods formalize the influence of government management on the level of the shadow economy and tax competitiveness. It was found that the Government Efficiency Index and the Corruption Control Index exert the most significant correlation with the level of tax competitiveness and the shadow economy. Its increase of 1% leads to a rise in the level of tax competitiveness of Slovakia by 7.015%, Croatia by 6.889%, the Czech Republic by 6.606%, and Romania by 5.773%. At the same time, the smallest correlation with the level of tax competitiveness performs an Index of Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism. AcknowledgmentThe study is funded by the project VEGA – 1/0392/23 “Changes in the approach to the creation of companies’ distribution management concepts influenced by the effects of social and economic crises caused by the global pandemic and increased security risks.”The authors are grateful to the participants of projects 0123U101945 and 0122U000777 for numerous discussions and comments.

Organizational citizenship behavior is vital to the company’s internal control system. This is because individual contributions that exceed role demands in the workplace increase company productivity and efficiency. This study aims to determine the role of resistance to change in moderating the influence of psychological capital and leader-member exchange on organizational citizenship behavior in micro, small, and medium enterprises in Indonesia. This paper uses a quantitative approach, and data collection is carried out through online surveys. The sample comprises 263 managers or owners of micro, small, and medium enterprises in Indonesia. This paper uses panel data; to test the interaction regression of resistance to change as a moderator, it uses the ordinary least squares method. The research results found empirical evidence that psychological capital and leader-member exchange impact increasing organizational citizenship behavior. Other findings show that resistance to change negatively moderates the influence of psychological capital and leader-member exchange on organizational citizenship behavior of Indonesia’s micro, small, and medium enterprises. AcknowledgmentThis study is supported by DPPMP Stikubank University; thanks to DPPMP and all team NGEJUS members.

State policy of prevention, detection, termination, disclosure, and investigation of crimes against a person in Azerbaijan should be based on other countries’ best practices and experience. The choice of countries to be followed by Azerbaijan should be very well-founded, given that the dynamics of crimes against a person depend significantly on many social and economic determinants: income inequality, the dominance of the rule of law in the country, the level of literacy and financial literacy of citizens, or racial diversity.50 countries are clustered according to the similarity of trends regarding the dependence of crimes against persons on these socio-economic determinants. Clustering is based on data of 2021 from the World Bank, World Population Review, UNODC, and WGI (the selection of countries is due to the availability of comparable statistical information, the choice of year – to the availability of the most up-to-date data). Clustering was carried out using two methods (DBSCAN and K-Means) to ensure the adequacy of the calculations. Clustering is performed for 3 combinations: 1) by the entire set of crimes and their determinants; 2) by the specific type of crime and all types of determinants; 3) by the entire set of crimes and a specific socio-economic determinant. Albania, Jordan, Mongolia, Romania, and Serbia were most often in the same cluster with Azerbaijan. Therefore, the best experience and best practices of these countries can be used by the state regulatory bodies of Azerbaijan in developing state policy on preventing crimes against the person.

Performance refers to the outcome or overall degree of achievement exhibited by an individual within a specified timeframe in executing duties about a range of potential outcomes, including conventional work outputs, goals, objectives, or mutually established benchmarks. With a moderated organizational culture, this study aims to analyze the effect of good corporate governance, organizational commitment, and internal controls on employees’ performance at public hospitals in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The paper employs an associative approach to the quantitative data type. The sample consists of 102 public hospital employees in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study used a questionnaire to collect the data and SEM-PLS to analyze the data. The research results show that good corporate governance, organizational commitment, and internal control affect employee performance at public hospitals in North Sumatra, Indonesia (p < 0.05). Good corporate governance affects employee performance moderated by organizational culture (p < 0.05). Organizational commitment affects employee performance moderated by organizational culture (p < 0.05). Internal control affects employee performance moderated by the organizational culture at public hospitals in North Sumatra, Indonesia (p < 0.05). The implication is that organizational culture has a role attached to the individual level of an employee and as a strategy to improve employee performance.

Considering the war in Ukraine, it will be necessary to restore the tourism system. The use of foresight as a means of predicting the future will ensure the formation of conditions for its development. The study aims to assess the functioning of the tourism system in Ukraine under martial law and to develop foresight scenarios for its development. The analysis of the main economic indicators of tourism and hotel entities during the war period indicates potential opportunities (a stable or growing trend). The volume of tax revenues to the state budget in 2023 increased by 15.6%. 2023 hotels’ KPIs (RevPAR, ADR, Occupancy) for the main destinations compared to the same period in 2022 increased by 206.0%, 66.0%, and 44.0%, respectively. The study scans the horizon within which the factors affecting the development of the tourism system are determined and assesses the levels of their potential impact and probability of occurrence. The BANI method is used to identify possible α- and β-scenarios of development, and the matrix method is used to interpret the strategic development directions. Industry factors are combined into four groups: development trends, the state of the market, technologies, innovations, and professional competence of staff. Thus, α- (optimistic) and β- (pessimistic) development scenarios future states in the tourism development. A prognostic vision of the future in a situation of prospective uncertainty makes it possible to determine the factors for mitigating the effects of military actions in the post-war period. It stimulates finding alternatives for strengthening the cohesion of the tourism system.

In an economic environment marked by rapid change, characterized by factors such as globalization and increasing demands from stakeholders and clients, public institutions and state-owned enterprises have become significant players through their multiple interventions in providing public services to citizens and businesses, in implementing structuring projects for economic and social development, and in promoting investment. This paper aims to examine the correlation between human resource management and employee performance within Moroccan public institutions and state-owned enterprises to understand how these organizations should manage their human capital to enhance their performance. The sample consists of 67 top executives of Moroccan entities operating in various sectors. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire completed by the participants. Partial least squares (PLS) was used to estimate structural equation models and analyze causal relationships between variables. SmartPLS 4 software was employed for model analysis. The findings reveal a positive and significant impact of training, selective recruitment, digital transformation, and performance-based compensation on employee performance improvement. The results indicate that the T-values are 3.126, 2.870, 2.178, and 2.406, respectively. Regarding the Q² value, it stands at 0.899, confirming the model’s predictive capability. The GoF coefficient is 0.851, affirming the overall validity of the model. However, it was observed that there is no significant link between job security and performance, as the T-values did not exceed the threshold of 1.64. This study suggests adopting changes in HRM practices to enhance the organizational performance of public institutions and state-owned enterprises.

This study suggests adopting changes in HRM practices to enhance the organizational performance of public institutions and state-owned enterprises.","PeriodicalId":20521,"journal":{"name":"Problems and perspectives in management","volume":"138 45","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large-scale migration from Ukraine caused by russian military aggression has triggered new security challenges to the national and regional economies. The paper aims to assess the competitiveness of regional labor markets and examine its nexus with international out-migration (on the example of the Carpathian region of Ukraine). The research methods include a composite approach (assessment of labor market competitiveness), the theory of sensitivity (identification of degree of sensitivity of composite and partial indices to changes in indicators), nonlinear regression (determination of dependence of the international out-migration on labor market competitiveness), and econometric nonlinear optimization (calculation of critical values of migration). The information and analytical basis comprises indicators reflecting the development of labor markets and international migrations in the oblasts of the Carpathian region in 2008–2021. The study reveals that the level of labor market competitiveness in the region mainly remained below the national average. Two groups of indicators dominated the structure of composite indices of labor market competitiveness in the region’s oblasts: institutional capacity (indicators measuring the ability of regulatory institutions and labor market entities to provide adequate support to the unemployed and promote employment) and labor motivation (wage and income indicators). Only Lviv oblast demonstrated resilience and growth of competitiveness, which was reflected in moderate out-migration. Meanwhile, the intensity of international out-migration in Zakarpattia and Chernivtsi oblasts (with worse labor market parameters) exceeded the estimated critical values. The paper confirms that low competitiveness of the labor market is a factor increasing migration losses.

Learning-oriented organizations, which give precedence to acquiring, sharing, and applying knowledge, assume a pivotal role in assisting enterprises in managing it through this ever-changing landscape. This study investigates the link between learning organizations, business excellence, and organizational performance in India’s information technology (IT) sector. This study is a descriptive one and based on primary data collected from 384 employees working in IT companies in Bangalore. The findings revealed significant correlations between learning organization and business excellence (r = 0.922) and suggest that organizations with a strong learning culture tend to excel in business performance. Additionally, the study highlights variations in perceptions based on employees’ tenure, management level, annual revenue, and workforce size. The study revealed that learning organization significantly impacts the excellence of businesses (r2 = 0.851). The paper underscores the importance of fostering learning organizations in achieving business excellence and offers valuable insights for IT companies seeking to enhance their competitive edge. Further research in diverse contexts and industries is recommended to enhance the comprehension of the relationship between organizational learning and performance.
