The leadership has become, increasingly, a concept that combines all the tools, necessary to succeed, for an organization members. Studies have shown a direct relationship between leadership and performance of an organization and demonstrated that the efficacious leaders are those who lead people to a better job building a consensus around a common goal. The purpose of this article is to identify the leadership styles from cultural institutions and highlighting how these influence the organizational performance. The research method used consists of content analysis of literature and quantitative research based on questionnaires, applied among the employees of Arges county’s museums.

The present research paper aims to evaluate the level of expansion and the impact of actions undertaken at European level to combat fraud against the European Union’s financial interests, a phenomenon that has been growing in the recent years, especially as a result of the latest financial crisis. In this respect, the paper analyses the results of the activities carried out between 2008 and 2015 by two competent institutions – one at the European Union’s level, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the other one at a Member State’s level, the Romania’s Anti-Fraud Department (DLAF) (as Romania is a full member of the European Union since 2007) – to detect, investigate and penalize fraudulent actions affecting European Union’s financial interests. More specifically, on the one hand, to assess the level of expansion of the EU’s actions to combat fraud, the research paper presents how evolved the numeric variation of new open investigations and those concluded by these institutions during the given period, and, on the other hand, to appreciate the impact of these actions, the indictment rate of the decisions taken by national authorities following OLAF’s recommendations is determined and the financial recoveries/implications are identified.

In this paper an approach is achieved integrated health system in Romania in terms of performance indicators and center with responsibility for patient concerns. Practical study highlights the characteristics differentiated the Romanian system of state health system and private health system. Using BSC method as a tool to obtain an image of the reality of the health system in Romania as well as the source for the formulation of future strategies. The implementation of medical ethical principles through a management of medical ethics will presuppose first, an adaptation of health system to patients’ needs, respect for patients’ rights, which come from the directive concerning cross-border medical assistance. To conclude ethical principles in health care must be promoted since only due to these principles people will benefit from patient-centred care, will be provided respectful and responsive health care and above all will actually benefit from their right to health care.

The food industry is becoming more customer-oriented and needs faster response times to deal with food scandals and incidents. Good traceability systems help to minimize the production and distribution of unsafe or poor quality products, thereby minimizing the potential for bad publicity, liability, and recalls. The current food labelling systems cannot guarantee that the food is authentic, good quality and safe. Therefore, traceability is applied as a tool to assist in the assurance of food safety and quality as well as to achieve consumer confidence. This paper presents comprehensive information about traceability systems and the evolution concerning the actors involved and the information about safety and quality in the food supply chain administrated within the systems. Some inventive factors, which influence the traceability systems adoption, are underlined.

Any free market economy is facing the problem of higher or lower unemployment rates. At a national level, it is important to increase employment opportunities, reduce poverty and promote full participation in society and the economy, and encourage elderly people to remain active on the labor market longer. In addition, financial sustainability is vital to guaranteeing rights and encouraging participation in society and the labor market. Social benefits systems should be centered on ensuring income security in transition periods and on poverty reduction, especially for groups at the highest risk of social exclusion.

The 21st century economic and social context brings about unprecedented challenges in the field of education, raising, more acutely than ever, issues related to the effective criterion of competitiveness and the extent to which graduates are equipped with the skills required in the operational context of educational markets that often exceeds national boundaries, becoming international. Education will be focused in this regard especially on the preparation, as far as possible, the experts and staff with high qualifications for leading-edge sectors, able to ensure the viability of the various educational institutions and to validate the place they occupy in the market competitive tenders as educational. The present article discusses the risks and challenges that contemporary education is currently facing in a politically, economically, technologically fast changing world.

Information systems (IS) have an enormous impact on organizations, individual work, and performance in general. As a result, many research works in the field of IS are focused on the interrelationship between individual performance and IS performance. During the last 20 to 30 years many models have been developed and tested by researchers. Their main objective was to investigate IS success and user performance in different environments. Therefore, a number of models appeared, their goal being the studying of the success, usefulness, end user adoption and utilization of IS, and other user and IS-related aspects in different organizations. This research paper presents three of the most important models developed in specialized literature, which deal with measuring IS success and end user adoption of the IS: the TAM model, the D&M model, and the TTF model. The research also provides an overview of some studies that have applied these models in the field of ERP systems.

Introduction: Arachnoid cysts in children are incidental or symptomatic findings which can have associated neurological pathologies in children. Epileptic seizures and headache are by far the most common symptoms associated to arachnoid cysts but they can also associate cerebral palsy or facial dwarfism. Objectives: In the era of globalisation we want to highlight the importance of modern diagnostic procedures and long term strategic management of children with arachnoid cysts in order to rise their social competence and have a better quality of life. Material and methods: We searched the most important theories in the literature and the new methods in the management of the arachnoid cysts. Results: Even if surgical is necessary just in few cases, medication is needed for epileptic seizures. Many children receive neuroprotective agents while other receive antiepileptic drugs for the concomitant or associated epilepsy. For speech difficulties and movement disorders speech therapy, physical therapy and other further support is needed. Discussions and conclusions: The EEG patterns are not mandatory identic to the site of the cyst. Facial dwarfism and other genetic hallmarks need to be further investigated for rare syndromes associated to cerebral arachnoid cysts. The arachnoid cyst could be a hallmark that children brain can be more sensitive to seizures.

Mobbing is a less known phenomenon, but its effects are real and worrying. This is a form of psychological abuse encountered at work by any of the superiors or colleagues through repeated aggressive acts. This article defines the notion of mobbing, presents its conceptual delimitations and dynamics, drawing attention to its impact on the employees' activity, as well as measures to counteract this phenomenon. Organizations should pay more attention to mobbing problems at the workplace as it significantly affects the employee's performance.

Developing a new argument that digital content is a factor for inbound marketing campaigns is redundant, considering there are numerous papers in the relevant literature. The aim of this paper is to use FsQCA to demonstrate the direct implications of quality content as a trust factor on the acquisition of search engine traffic. Concluding on strategies to build customer confidence in e-commerce, based on educative and representative content on a particular niche. In this research, we've analyzed 18 causal conditions collected from different online references to reach the outcome. These findings can help marketing managers to develop strategies to attract a relevant audience for e-commerce websites.
