Limited number of studies have explored role of locus of control (LoC) in job search. In this study, involving over fourteen thousand participants enrolled in retraining courses, we examined the role of LoC in individuals' responses to a hypothetical job offer located 100 km away from their current place of residence. Results indicated that internal locus of control predicted a positive response to the job offer and the tendency to seek additional information about the job offer. In addition, the internal locus of control predicted worries and the automatic rejection of job offers negatively. Conversely, the external locus of control predicted worries and a tendency to reject job offer positively and engagement in further seeking of information and positive reactions to job offer negatively. However, the size of the effects was small, indicating a need to continue the search for predictors of the reaction to the job offer. Neither type of locus of control was found to be associated with seeking advice from friends or family.

Internalised misogyny is a form of internalised sexism that refers to devaluing women, distrusting women, and valuing men over women. It occurs when women adopt sexist messages heard throughout their lives and direct them towards other women. The aim of this research was to examine the role of individual characteristics and environmental influences in explaining internalised misogyny. 530 women between 18 and 90 participated in the study. The sample was representative of the population of adult women in Croatia. The results showed that internalised misogyny has a low positive correlation with age, right-wing political orientation, religiosity, discrimination in the family and experienced gender microaggressions, and a somewhat higher correlation with right-wing authoritarianism. Low negative correlations with education, self-esteem and level of mastery were also obtained. Contrary to expectations, the size of the settlement and conservatism were not related to internalised misogyny. In the regression model, right-wing political orientation, higher level of right-wing authoritarianism, lower self-esteem, lower level of mastery and more frequent experience of gender microaggressions were significant predictors of internalised misogyny. The relationship between experienced gender microaggressions and internalised misogyny did not depend on the level of self- -esteem.

For hotel companies to operate successfully, it is important to react to the changes that are happening in the market. The method and form of valuation of companies in a market economy environment implies a thorough knowledge not only of the financial condition of these companies, but also of the means for their evaluation. The research was conducted on a sample of 208 hotel companies in Croatia from 2002 to 2018. The paper implements five models with different dependent variables that show the success of the company's business: profit, employment, income, assets and investments. The independent variables used in the model were corporate tax, exchange rate, contributions, tax and surtax, VAT rate on accommodation services, and average interest rate on loans, while the control variables were enterprise size and gross domestic product. For the sake of transparency in proving hypotheses, all hypotheses were tested through all five models using the econometric panel analysis method using the STATA software package. The results show that there is an interdependence between selected indicators of hotel companies and selected economic policy measures, but the hypotheses are only partially accepted.
酒店公司要想成功运营，就必须对市场发生的变化做出反应。市场经济环境下的公司估值方法和形式不仅意味着对这些公司财务状况的全面了解，还意味着对其评估手段的全面了解。研究以 2002 年至 2018 年克罗地亚 208 家酒店公司为样本。论文采用五个模型，用不同的因变量来显示公司业务的成功：利润、就业、收入、资产和投资。模型中使用的自变量为公司税、汇率、会费、税金和附加税、住宿服务增值税率和贷款平均利率，控制变量为企业规模和国内生产总值。为了证明假设的透明度，使用 STATA 软件包，采用计量经济学面板分析方法，通过所有五个模型对所有假设进行了检验。结果表明，酒店企业的某些指标与某些经济政策措施之间存在相互依存关系，但假设只被部分接受。

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, adherence to epidemiological measures was proved related to the information exchanged through personal networks. However, there is still limited evidence on the effect of specific network properties. Using data from a randomised national sample of adults in Croatia (N = 765), we examine the role of various personal networks attributes with regard to three dependent variables: risk assessment of COVID-19, adherence to epidemiological measures and intention to avoid vaccination. We propose "pandemic discussion networks" as personal networks that encompass social contacts with whom respondents exchange pandemic-related information. Network heterogeneity in terms of the discussants' education level contributed to more protective behaviour, while network heterogeneity in terms of age contributed to an inclination towards vaccination. These associations were confirmed independently of behavioural homophily in terms of risky health behaviour, which was also found.

Knowledge about the relationship between personality traits and workplace burnout in teachers is predominantly based on the operationalisation of personality as a stable construct (global personality) and the operationalisation of workplace burnout by means of the Maslach et al. model. However, according to contemporary conceptualisations, personality can also be considered as a context-dependent construct. In addition, Schaufeli et al. have presented their own conceptualisation of burnout at work, which, in contrast to Maslach et al.'s model, is based on clear theoretical assumptions. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the relationship between personality and burnout at work based on the contemporary conceptualisation of personality (global versus contextualised) and burnout at work (Schaufeli et al. model). A correlational study was conducted with a sample of 142 secondary school teachers. The research findings point to the contribution of the global and contextualised personality dimensions to the dimensions of burnout in the workplace.

People's happiness has become a first-class political question, which urges both governments and organisations to create policies and practices aimed at improving people's happiness, one of which includes human resource management (HRM) practices. As studies exploring the association between country level HRM practices and national happiness on the academic level are scarce, especially empirical ones, the aim of this paper is exactly to address this gap. HRM data used in the study were collected through the Cranet 2014-2016 survey round and refer to 5,093 organisations operating in 27 countries on five continents. National happiness data, Cantril ladder indicator (CLI) as a measure, and six correlates of national happiness, were obtained from the World Happiness Report database. Findings suggest that HRM practices associated with the highest levels of national happiness include: using information technology (IT) recruitment platforms, recruiting based on potentials and not on present knowledge/skills, customised compensations, various work-life balance initiatives, and training and development primarily for career's and not employer's sake, which corresponds with younger workforce cohorts' preferences.

This study examined the link between perceived romantic relationship (RR) importance (relationship desire and dismissal) and emerging adults' romantic experiences, including relationship status, number of partnerships, and relationship durations. It also explored how individuation from parents contributes to the prediction of these experiences. Participants (N = 464, 64.4% female, Mage = 22.59) reported on their romantic relationship importance, relationship experiences, and perceived connectedness and intrusiveness from parents. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that perceived RR importance significantly contributed to the prediction of romantic experiences beyond demographic factors. Additionally, paternal intrusiveness negatively predicted the duration of current and longest relationships. The findings suggest that RR importance and individuation, especially in relation to the father, play an important role in emerging adults' romantic experiences.
