Purpose: Over the last decades, tourism has experienced continued growth, and its impact on economic activity can be observed through its effects on the balance of payments and the labour market, as well as connections with other economic activities. According to the ITB report (2016), urban tourism recorded the largest increase, noting that tourist arrivals in urban areas increased by 58% in the past five years. This was due to growing urbanization, better road accessibility and air connectivity between cities, shorter stays and an increasing number of trips per year. In recent years, the number of tourist arrivals in urban areas has also increased in Croatia. In 2018, over 12 million arrivals were recorded, which represents 64% of the total tourist arrivals for that year. Methodology: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between tourism (tourism indicators) and sustainable development (investment in sustainable development) in cities in Croatia. The survey covered all 128 cities. The data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney test and regression analysis. Results: The results show that there is a correlation between tourism and sustainable development in the analysed cities. Cities with thriving tourism pay more attention to sustainable development. Conclusion: It is necessary to continuously increase the levels of knowledge and understanding of tourism in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

Purpose: On the example of a regional self-government unit, the paper aims to provide additional evidence to support the notion that the application of a quality management system (QMS) in public administration produces positive change in organizational culture, improves business processes as well as the quality and delivery of services, etc., and, as such, is a necessary precondition for modernization and improvement of its efficiency. Methodology: International scientific and professional research shows that the application of quality management systems in public administration is a prerequisite for modernization and improvement of overall system efficiency. The paper gives an overview of the QMS implementation in public administration in the Republic of Croatia and presents the effects of the application of the international standard ISO 9001 in Osijek-Baranya County. Results: The results indicate that the application of QMS in Osijek-Baranya County has had significant effects on the operation of public administration. The most significant among them are financial savings, increased transparency, acceleration of business processes, etc. Conclusion: The application of a quality management system in public administration has produced positive effects especially in terms of improving (streamlining and speeding up the processes as well as increasing transparency of work thus providing an avenue towards modernizing and improving the overall efficiency of public administration.

Purpose: Considering the importance of the internationalization of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) for the national economic growth, this study was conducted in order to determine the possible impact of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on export intention in MSEs through the moderating effect of access to finance. Methodology: This research consists of a survey of 150 agriculture farm owners from Nepal conducted in January 2020. The researchers used SmartPLS as a research tool to analyse the data. Results: The results of this study indicate that out of five dimensions of IEO, only autonomy has a positive significant effect on export intention, whereas access to finance had no moderating role in the effect of IEO on export intention. Conclusion: Overall, this study provides profound insight about IEO in the context of a less developed country like Nepal and also sheds light on Nepalese farm owners’ IEO and their intention to export.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of work engagement (WE) in the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and turnover intention (TI). Methodology: In this context, to test the model and hypotheses, research data were collected using a survey method from 427 public employees working in the healthcare sector in Erzincan province of Turkey. The data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs. Results: As a result of the analyses, it was found that perceived organizational support has a positive effect on work engagement and a negative effect on turnover intention, and work engagement and turnover intention variables are negatively correlated. It was also concluded that there was a partial mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between perceived organizational support and turnover intention. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that WE has a partial intermediary role in the relationship between POS and TI. According to these findings, the support provided to the employee by the organization reduces employee intention to quit. In this context, when organizational management implements practices that will ensure employee commitment in addition to supporting employees and creating this perception, it can further reduce the intention of employees to quit.

Purpose: The globalization of economy in the context of adaptation and successful communication within the EU emphasizes the importance of perceiving and adapting to intercultural diversity in order to achieve business success. This paper analyzes the notion of interculturalism from the aspect of observing business relations. It emphasizes the perception of intercultural outcomes of business cooperation. In the focus were specific characteristics of Croatia and Austria, countries geographically close, but with many diversities. Methodology: The research tasks were to determine the phenomena of business intercultural interaction, obstacles in intercultural communication and the dimensions of cultural values according to Hofstede. Respondents’ attitudes were examined by a survey containing 18 statements. The respondents had experience in Croatian-Austrian intercultural business relations. Three hypotheses were formulated following the idea that even though the two countries share a part of history and have built rich cooperation, there are significant differences that may be of importance for business communication. Results: The first hypothesis suggested higher business formality in the Austrian culture, whereas results show that the attitude towards formality is equal. The Croatian culture lacks intercultural experience, which makes it less adaptable. Equality in gender relations was confirmed. These limitations mostly apply to a small sample showing small differences as it is a preliminary study. Conclusion: The research provides a foundation for a broader and deeper survey that will provide guidelines for understanding intercultural communication and its rules.
