High productivity is of primary concern to individuals, the management of any organization and to the national economy at large. Performance management in the health sector is essential for access to health services and for the provision of quality services. It is generally regarded as a well-known fact that an organization’s employees are a key asset for success. One of the most fascinating questions for specialists, but also one that causes headaches for managers in organizations, is “why are people motivated to do something?”. A human’s ambitions and goals may differ from one person to another, so motivation is a crucial aspect of health care management. Management can guide people to achieve the organization’s goals by identifying their unique qualities and potentials. The main objective of the study was to analyze the factors that motivate and demotivate employees in the Public Health Directorate, in order to find, or demonstrate that workplace satisfaction is influenced by a combination of factors, each of them having their own effect, contributing to the final result, which can be decisive in creating or not an productive equilibrum within the organizations that were subjected to research. Research methods: qualitative-quantitative analysis through the questionnaire-based survey method. Research thesis: Motivation plays a crucial role in organizational performance. This article concluded that not only financial benefits are important to both male and female employees, but also non-financial benefits and Managers must attach significant importance to motivational factors because these are the only ones capable of guaranteeing the success of such an approach.

This paper aims to explore the past and the present challenges of EU ESG regulatory framework. Moreover, it attempts to make an in-depth analysis of the major ESG frameworks and standards used at a global level: GRI, SASB, IIRC, CDP, CDSB, TCFD, CSRD, and EU Taxonomy. The analysis considers 5 criteria: framework vs. standard, shareholder perspective, reporting format, metrics, and materiality. In addition, we draw insights into the complexity of the EU ESG reporting scheme and its added value compared to already existing frameworks and standards. Our results have implications on three levels: 1) for reporting companies that are faced with the option of selecting a reporting framework that will minimize the cost of compliance but also help them implement their climate transition strategy; 2) for employees and consumers of goods and services provided by companies that incorporate ESG in their long term economic activities and 3) policymakers that want to make sure they design the best standards that will ensure a smoother and effective transition to a low carbon economy.

This paper analyzes the impact of shifting all employees from office-based working to working from home (WFH) on productivity and performance. Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, there were no instances of companies moving all of their employees to WFH indefinitely. This is one of the first case studies analyzing this new phenomenon supported by hard criteria for productivity and performance measures. We define productivity as the quantity and performance as the quality of the output. We collected our data from a North American 3rd Party Logistics company and employed a multimethod approach to examine the effects of this organizational change forced by the COVID-19 Pandemic. We gathered data from the employees through video interviews and online surveys. We compiled the performance metrics from the corporate database and received commentary from top management. We also used national statistics databases to delineate the specific market conditions. Figures indicate evident improvements in revenues, profits, and labor productivity after the shift to WFH. We also examined other potential moderating factors, such as changes in market conditions, improvements in business processes, and/or management approaches, to distinguish the effect of remote working. Overall results show that when accompanied by solid leadership strategies and proper communications, and with investment in IT technologies, working from home improves productivity with little or no effect on performance. Our findings offer valuable insights for managers who need to make strategic decisions about WFH arrangements for their companies, especially brokerage-type businesses, more specifically those in the logistics industry. The study is based on data from a case study involving one company, preventing the authors from generalizing their findings.

We employ a panel vector autoregression model (PVAR) selecting as endogenous variables Foreign Direct Investments percent of GDP, Trade Openness and Investment Freedom for a database comprised of European Countries. The data are collected from the Global Economy database. We compare different PVAR models changing the input of desired lags. We test the Hansen test for over-identifying restrictions and we generate the Generalised impulse response functions. The article uses a Hahn Kuehrsteiner Panel Var estimation estimating a stationarity PVAR with fixed effects. Econometric analysis shows a significant impact of trade openness and investment freedom indicators on foreign direct investment in Europe.

Inflationary pressures, but also the uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the Covid-19 pandemic, have significantly increased in the last year. Moreover, the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, further called into question the upward trend in the inflation rate. In this sense, the sudden and continuous increase in energy, fuel, and food prices constitute new challenges for decision-makers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the evolution of inflation in Romania from the period 1990-2022 because this constitutes a topical macroeconomic challenge. Compared to the way of presenting the information from the bibliography used and found at the end of the paper, in this paper only the essential aspects, the particularities of the chosen research topic, which finally provide an overview, can be found.

n Hungary, 94% of businesses have Internet access and 63% have a website. Moreover, online retail sales will reach HUF 1,203 billion in 2021. In order for companies to achieve the largest possible market share, they can use various digital marketing strategies. They are distinguished according to different methods. One of the most commonly used in practice and in science is inbound (as search engine optimization) and outbound (as advertising). Google Ads, which emerged at the turn of the millennium and defined itself as the world’s first company to use machine learning technology, is a market leader. Their ad system was initially based on keywords, which have since been expanded to include more than 4,800 types of targeting criteria. These targeting options are available for a variety of ad formats. The digital solutions to the billboards of traditional marketing are banner ads, called Display on Google. These ads contain image, video, and text content and aim to interrupt the consumer’s activity and redirect them to the advertiser’s website. Since they are capable of increasing website traffic by up to 300%, this can be interpreted as an opportunity that is also considered favorable by businesses. It is also suitable for testing various content elements, as one of its main indicators, the click-through rate, expresses the relevance of the ad, as several researchers have noted. As the role of artificial intelligence grows, more and more companies are using it as a competitive advantage. Some of their algorithms are capable of generating text, images, videos, or other content. In this study, I leverage the power of display ads and conduct my research in the Google Ads system instead of conducting consumer surveys. I created two ads for the same target audience, with the same budget and settings. The text content for one ad was created by a marketer, the image content was created by a professional photographer, and the content elements for the other ad were provided by Artificial Intelligence. The objective of the article is to study the performance, efficiency, and impact of artificial intelligence-generated content on conversions under real market conditions. The study also includes content created by the players.

The aim of this research is to explore the stress of the principals in Bedouin sector schools in Israel concerning remote teaching during COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews included eight (8) open–ended questions and were conducted with three (3) principals from different Bedouin schools in Negev concerning stress at work in the shadow of COVID-19. The main finding of this research is that the school principals in Bedouin were experiencing high levels of stress concerning distance teaching in the shadow of COVID-19 pandemic. The research findings also show that there is a lack of resources for remote learning among students in the Bedouin population, which was associated to the lack of the school principals’ control over teachers during the COVID-19, and was related to changes in the students’ behavior.

E-leadership research has evolved significantly in recent times, influencing the development of the education system, which has been affected by the effects of the pandemic. In order to keep up with the changes, teachers have had to adapt to the ever-changing requirements and opportunities. The topic of the paper refers to the perspective of Romanian pre-university teachers regarding the connection between e-leadership and motivation. The reason I chose to do this research is because e-leadership is a current topic. On the other hand, I am a teacher in the pre-university education system and I started my teaching activity in the middle of the pandemic and I can say that it was a real challenge for me to integrate remotely into a new team. Therefore, I found it opportune to study this subject, the paper being based on the identification of the main advantages and barriers of e-leadership in motivating employees. For this, I will look for the answer to the research question “What is the perception of pre-university teachers regarding e-leadership?”, by sending a questionnaire among teachers. To answer this question, I carried out a quantitative research of a structured survey type, based on a questionnaire with 16 items, addressed to pre-university teachers, regarding the link between e-leadership and employee motivation. This survey was conducted online, in 1st-4th November 2022, through Google Forms, and I processed and interpreted the obtained data, using Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistical software. I hope this paper will be useful to all those interested in this topic, especially PhD students and leaders who want to deepen this topic.

Trade is at the centre of Europe’s model of economic prosperity and competitiveness. As stated in the new Trade Policy Strategy set out by the European Commission (2021), the trade policy has a key role to play in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, this role was emphasised even better by the effects derived from the war in Ukraine. As the pandemic hit in 2020, the growth drivers of the EU’s economy relented, among which the external trade, putting million jobs at risk and leading to rise in unemployment and to depression of economic activity, while many companies had to close down. Competitiveness is a term which increased in significance in the last few decades. Trade competitiveness and, especially, export competitiveness is one of the most valuable variables a country must improve in order to increase its overall competitive position among nations and also the welfare of its citizens. The export statistics of many EU’s economies changed since the COVID-19 crisis and later, the war stroke. The research questions this paper addresses are: what is the extent of these changes in which sectors? Have they come to an end or the process of recovery has already started within the EU? What effects has the war in Ukraine onto the EU exports competitiveness? Are there any chances for the EU to maintain its exports competitiveness after these crises? What is to be one and what measures to be taken to recover? After introductory theoretical remarks and a brief literature review followed by a survey of various techniques to measure export competitiveness, the paper shifts its focus on statistical data and analyse how much damage has the pandemic and nowadays, the war caused to the EU’s export competitiveness, and which EU Member States were the most affected, based on statistical data analysis and other various indicators.

The article offers a contrastive analysis of the terms referring to the compensation for work performed by people who obtain income from the liberal professions, highlighting the complexity and diversity of these terms in French, a consequence of a legal system with a long tradition. The affinities related to the common origin of the two languages (French and Romanian), the legal systems based on Roman law, the cultural influence that France has always exercised, the fact that Romania adopted the French Civil Code in the 19th century are just as many reasons why there is an important number of equivalent terms in Romanian language. Based on a corpus of examples extracted from the civil code, the labor code, the commercial code and the deontological codes of the different categories of freelancers (lawyers, notaries, accountants, doctors, architects) and their translation into Romanian we will indicate possible equivalences and show that the selection of the appropriate term is made according to several factors, such as the level of language (legal / common) or the professional categories involved.
