Using historiography, online information and the stakeholders’ theory, this study focuses on the interested parties involved in a highly controversial gold mining project in Romania’s Roșia Montană area. The study documents the emergence and influence of different stakeholders (and the relationships between them). The research result suggests that company management and project investors (in this case involving the State as minority owner and regulator and a Canadian company as the majority owner) need to be aware of the objectives of a range of stakeholders including the general public, environmental campaigners and cultural agencies. They should identify shared stakeholder objectives and take these objectives into account when assessing the prospects of a mining project. Ultimately, these findings could be a lesson in political conduct for stakeholders involved in similar projects in other East European countries.

The aim was to identified workplace factors related to the well-being of employees in nursing. A cross-sectional study was conducted in nine from twelve Slovenian hospitals. Descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis were used. According to a qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were used. The content analysis gave six main categories: Leadership style; Leaders' personal qualities; Leaders' knowledge and skills; Stress; Patients; Organization; that is important for employees' well-being in nursing. It was revealed that 93 % of employees' well-being in nursing could be predicted with leadership style, leaders' knowledge and skills, leaders' personal qualities, frequency of workplace stress, stress management working experiences, and education level. The study confirmed the importance of leaders' skills and knowledge, leaders' personal qualities, and leadership styles for higher employees' well-being in nursing.

Investing in Human Resource Management (HRM), particularly in employee development through Further Education and Training (FET) at workplaces is a priority for most organisations. Our paper investigates how the participants perceive the effectiveness of particular FET methods based on an empirical study of 611 respondents from the millennial generation. The investigated sample consists of respondents employed at organisations operating in the Czech Republic. The results reveal that organisations are still regularly using certain traditional methods that do not correspond to the preferences of new employees (millennials) so are perceived as ineffective. The results should be useful for organisations seeking to adopt HRM policy and practice, particularly FET for the changes in the generation of employees.

The paper examines the relationship between personality traits, customer focus and work motivation based on the sample of 203 hotel employees in Novi Sad (Serbia). The results show the existence of the mediating effect of Intrinsic motivation on the effect of Extraversion on Customer focus, as well as on the effect of Neuroticism on Customer focus. The study also indicates that Extrinsic motivation and Identified and Introjected regulation have a moderating effect on the effect of Agreeableness on Customer focus. The findings of the paper will assist managers to shape an employee profile that will be customer-oriented.

This study investigates work-to-family enrichment (WFE) and family-to-work enrichment (FWE) as the two intervening mechanisms linking servant leadership to propensity to leave work early (PLE) and service recovery performance (SRP). Data gathered from hotel customer-contact employees via a time-lagged survey design and their immediate supervisors in Russia were used to assess the aforesaid relationships through structural equation modelling. As predicted, servant leadership stimulates both WFE and FWE and boosts SRP, while it alleviates PLE. Consistent with the study prediction, WFE partly mediates the linkage between servant leadership and SRP. As hypothesized, FWE partly mediates the relationship between servant leadership and PLE. The rest of the linkages are not supported by the empirical data.

To tackle undeclared work in Central and East Europe, the conventional bureaucratic public sector management approach has used the hard-direct controls of penalties and increasing the risk of detection. Recently, an alternative post-bureaucratic public sector management approach has emerged advocating soft indirect controls to improve tax morale and horizontal trust. Evaluating these competing approaches using evidence from Eurobarometer surveys conducted in 2007, 2013 and 2019 in six Central and East European countries, the finding is that both approaches significantly prevent undeclared work. The outcome is a call for a new ‘hybrid’ public sector management approach combining the two.

Entrepreneurship can have a crucial role in economic development. Youth entrepreneurship has even a greater role in economic growth. The underlying issues are the high youth unemployment rates in developing but also in developed countries as well. Improving the entrepreneurial climate and providing a “fertile” ground for venture creation is almost an imperative for increasing the number of young entrepreneurs and the number of entrepreneurs overall. In this paper, the results of an extensive, cross-sectional study conducted over ten-years, are presented. The study includes 5670 respondents - high school and university students from Serbia. The goal was to determine the predictors of youth entrepreneurship intentions in the domain of venture creation.
