The study is a part of the dissertation about the influence of environmental variables on public relations in companies in Russia. This paper is focused on the relationship between public relations strategies and societal culture as defined in the GLOBE theoretical framework (House et al. 2004) with nine dimensions: uncertainty avoidance, power distance, institutional collectivism, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, assertiveness, future orientation, performance and humane orientation. Quantitative research was conducted on the sample of 225 public relations specialists. According to our findings, the societal culture significantly influences two-way, symmetrical, asymmetrical, ethical, unethical, interpersonal, mediated communication and conservation strategies. The study did not confirm same influence on one-way communication and cultural interpretation.

This study explores the impact of perceived top management involvement and knowledge sharing on perceived project performance. Relationships are examined from a sample of CEOs, directors and project managers from one large international bank in Serbia. Our results confirm that the “human factor” is critical to project success because perceived top management commitment exerts the most relevant direct relation, in addition to having an indirect relation through perceived knowledge management. Moreover, a nontrivial proportion of perceived project success (35%) is explained through perceived top management involvement and knowledge sharing.

Job satisfaction is one of the most researched phenomena. But I am not aware of a study that assesses job satisfaction in Czech prisons despite the fact that it is a specific job with high physical and mental demands in a potentially dangerous environment. The purpose of this paper is to create a model describing job satisfaction and verify the anticipated relationship between job satisfaction and turnover of Prague correctional officers. While the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions has been confirmed, the anticipated strong relationship between supervisor support and correctional officer job satisfaction has not been confirmed. Descriptive statistics have also revealed the surprising fact that the employees with the lowest tenure have the weakest turnover intentions.

The main objective of this paper is to determine the factors of influence on growth aspired entrepreneurial ventures in order to determine characteristics of these entrepreneurs in the SEE region. We draw upon data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor international survey in order to provide deeper insight into the high-growth entrepreneurship in selected SEE countries. For the purposes of this research, the authors included six countries in the research sample of South East Europe: Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and FYR of Macedonia. An exploratory sample of the mentioned countries was 12027 respondents and 457 high-growth entrepreneurs. Based on the nature of the observed variables, we used Spearman's correlation and ordinal logistic regression (ORL) in order to explore the relations between variables. We used OLR to explore the relation between the national culture, entrepreneurial motives, and aspiration to the level of entrepreneurial growth intentions. The findings demonstrate that entrepreneurial motives, innovation, and internationalization of new business venture have statistically significant relations with the high-growth aspirations among entrepreneurs in South East Europe region.

Car sharing is a specific business model that allows a new form of personal mobility. University students, generally very receptive to the concept of a sharing economy, are recognized as a prospective customer group for car sharing operators. This paper proposes an ex ante analysis that aims to reveal how students from an area where car sharing is underdeveloped perceive this mobility option. University students in Belgrade were asked to state their preferences regarding a mix of attributes and levels replicating service design from current practice. Preferences for particular service attributes were explored using stated preference survey and Choice-Based Conjoint analysis, while further preference-based segmentation was obtained using the Partitioning Around Medoids method. The contribution of this work is that it delivers findings on an emerging car-sharing market where there is very little research on user profiles. From a methodological point of view, we form distinctive customer clusters based on the uniformity of their preferences. By being aware of users’ prior expectations, service providers can determine their operational priorities more easily when unlocking the market. The paper outlines both the similarities and differences between students in an emerging market and their counterparts in more developed countries. Our findings reveal that the student population is homogeneous regarding critical aspects of service adoption like cost, distance to vehicles, and parking convenience. Specific service attributes such as the pricing scheme and keeping vehicles clean are found to be issues of peculiar interest in our study market. Although our proposed approach to shaping user preferences was developed for car sharing analysis it is applicable to other service-oriented businesses in the initiation phase.

Family firms are often associated with the notion of greater stability. The goal of this article is to explore the differences in privately held family and nonfamily firms in various types of stability, including stability in the number of employees, revenue, earnings and assets. Using multiple linear regression analysis in a sample of 384 family and 1 795 nonfamily firms from the Czech Republic, we found that family firms tend to be more stable in terms of revenue and number of employees, but only during times of crisis. However, their greater employment stability results in worse labour productivity and their earnings become more volatile. During the post-crisis period, there are no significant differences in stability between family and nonfamily firms. Moreover, family firms have been found to grow less during both the economic downturn and the recovery. We suggest that the feature of stability that is so often attributed to family firms by popular, but also academic papers, should be used with caution.

The agricultural sector in transitional and emerging market economies is marked by the prominence of agroholdings, i.e., conglomerates of agricultural enterprises controlling up to hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland. Drawing on secondary information from Ukraine, this paper explores how institutional turbulence gives rise to agroholdings. The key hypothesis is that membership in an agroholding presents a strategy for agricultural enterprises to remain resilient in the midst of the severe institutional turbulence characteristic of a transitional economy. The focus on resilience provides a tentative explanation of why the remarkable growth of agroholdings fails to be accompanied by evidence of their superior efficiency.
