Nuclear energy after Fukushima? Strong and independent national regulators

Nuclear energy after Fukushima? Strong and independent national regulators

Author(s): Juraj Rovný / Language(s): English / Issue: 01-02/2012

Keywords: Fukushima; nuclear energy; regulators

The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan has re-opened discussions about the future of this industry in many countries. While those supporting nuclear energy point mainly to the enormous natural disaster that could not be predicted the opponents declare the inability to manage nuclear safety on a long-term basis. The article summarizes the main conclusions of the Japan National Diet investigation report that goes beyond the direct technical causes and equipment failures. It shows that the root causes of the accident are in institutional and cultural issues rather than in technical failures or natural conditions. Therefore, the roles and positions of national regulators providing independent nuclear safety oversight should be strengthened. A broader view on nuclear energy in the context of other types of industries is provided. Public acceptance of nuclear is different from other industries, since it is not tolerated that nuclear energy can learn from its mistakes. Though the event in Fukushima has lead to nuclear phase-out decisions in several countries, it does mean a full stop for nuclear energy.

Individual Consequences of Internal Marketing

Individual Consequences of Internal Marketing

Author(s): Remus Ionut Naghi,Gheorghe Preda / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Keywords: internal marketing; organizational commitment; employee satisfaction; organizational citizenship be-havior;

Since the emergence of the concept of internal marketing in the literature there have been almost 40 years. This period was marked by a constant increase of the concerns in the internal marketing area, these efforts being evidenced by the publication of a consistent number of articles (conceptual and empirical) which analyze this subject. Considering the previous empirical studies, most of them have focused on studying the relationship between internal marketing and employee satisfaction and / or organizational commitment. However, the relationship between internal marketing and its consequences has been less analyzed in the con-text of emergent economies. In this paper we aimed to analyze the individual consequences of the internal marketing in the Romanian economy context, focusing our attention on three constructs: em-ployee satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. The research was conducted on a sample of 83 medium and large companies in various sectors of the Romanian economy. In order to proceed with the statistical data analyses we followed these steps: verifying the scales reliability, determining factor loadings and research hypotheses testing. Our research results are consistent with results of previous studies showing that the adoption of internal marketing practice has a positive effect on employee satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior.

Learning culture and affective well-being at work: How does the need for individual growth matter in this relationship?

Learning culture and affective well-being at work: How does the need for individual growth matter in this relationship?

Author(s): Teresa Rebelo,Bruno de Sousa,Isabel Dimas,Paulo Renato Lourenço / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: organizational learning culture; job-related affective well-being; individual growth need strength; STAR models

The present research aims (a) to assess the impact that a learning context has on people, namely in terms of their affective well-being at work; and (b) to understand the role of individual growth need strength in this relationship. A cross-sectional research design was conducted, in which were surveyed 145 public service workers. A structured additive regression (STAR) model was proposed for the analysis of the data. A linear effect of one dimension of learning culture (external adaptation), and a nonlinear effect of individual growth need on effective well-being were identified. Although the moderation effects were not statistically significant, the findings suggested a pattern where a balance between learning culture and individual growth need levels lead to higher values of affective well-being.

METHODS OF INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY STIMULATION

METHODS OF INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY STIMULATION

Author(s): Marinela Rusu / Language(s): English / Issue: 17+18/2019

Keywords: creativity; personality; family; society; brainstorming;

Creativity is one of the specific human traits. The development of personality is most often realized in close correlation with the creative dynamics of each one. The paper proposed by us brings into discussion the most important factors that contribute to the development of creativity. What makes us more creative, what are the conditions that unleash the creative forces of the individual's mind? First, the cultural factors, inherited ideas about creativity, are critically analyzed. Thus, there are a number of "myths of creativity" that infuse our perception (sometimes in a wrong way) on the definition and understanding of creativity. The family also offers, through education and personal example, means of stimulating creativity. It is the first step towards performance creativity. In this paper, we also present the best-known techniques of creativity training, some of them, in the view of the "new age" trend. Creativity always interferes with a task, as we have to improvise, responding for moment to moment to the changing demands of the situation. Daily creativity improvise and is therefore, different from what the researchers of creativity have studied: creativity that results in a finished product. In order to become more creative, we will have to orient ourselves differently: to have a motivation for it, to choose a field in which we excel, to accept collaboration, to be confident and take risks. Creativity means rejecting the conventional, the routine and finding new solutions in personal development.

Diagnosis of social dysfunctions or individual potentials in the work of a probation officer

Diagnosis of social dysfunctions or individual potentials in the work of a probation officer

Author(s): Ewa Wysocka / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: Social rehabilitation; diagnosis; a diagnostic model; probation officer; motivation; concepts of motivation

In the article, the author presents the basic assumptions of a positive diagnosis, which can be used in the work of a probation officer. She treats social rehabilitation as a process of internal transformation, based on discovered and activated potentials and resources of a socially maladjusted individual. The process of inner transformation is recognized as a result of changes in motivation: from amotivation to intrinsic motivation. Two concepts are indicated as the theoretical basis for creating a model of diagnosis in social rehabilitation: the self-determination theory (SDT) by Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan and the concept of lack of motivation, mainly the reasons for amotivation by Lisa Legault, Isabelle Green-Demers, Luc G. Pelletier, Stéphanie Dijon, Kim Tuson, Symeon P. Vlachopoulos and Maria A. Gigoudi. In this context, the author analyzes the motivational process from the perspective of effective social rehabilitation measures. The following paragraphs of the study analyze the understanding of the diagnostic process and present a proposed theoretical model of a social rehabilitation diagnosis, together with its substantive explanation. As a result, this paper attempts to formulate recommendations for diagnosis in social rehabilitation, and to construct a theoretical model of social rehabilitation diagnosis in the area of the work of a probation officer.

Development of Strategic Individual Competences

Development of Strategic Individual Competences

Author(s): Asta Savanevičienė,Dalia Stukaitė,Violeta Šilingienė / Language(s): English / Issue: 3 (58)/2008

Keywords: competence; development;

In today‘s world, the word “competence” is widely used in human resource management. Individual’s work results and finally business success depend on his/her knowledge and skills i.e. competence. Changing business management paradigm and increasing role of individual in organization rise radical changes in priorities identifying the need of competences and their development. A competence can be defined as the entirety of knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes, which are necessary for an individual to work effectively in particular working environment. This can be professional, social and conceptual competences. Professional competence in the long-term perspective is very dynamic due to fast changing technologies, but on the other hand, it can be easily defined and acquired quickly. Particularity of the professional competence is determined by the individual’s functional labour activity, whereas social and conceptual competences are general competencies that are necessary for an individual despite his position in the company. As a rule, namely these competences become strategically significant in the rapidly changing business world, especially while talking about managers, which enable the organization to acquire advantage due to the human factor. However the research conducted by Drejer (2000) shows that traditionally education system is orientated to the formation of professional competencies, named as “tough“; whereas the attention to the “soft” competences (social, conceptual) is not significant. Development of these strategic essential competences falls on enterprises and individual. Analysing the development of strategic individual competences in individual as well as organization level the priorities of competence formation and development are changing recently – the development of employees’ competence based on the organizational needs is being changed into the development of competence with the priority to individual’s needs. Successful development of strategic individual competences in individual level is based on the principal attitudes, integrating the perception of the need of individual competence development, deep inner motivation to educate himself or herself and preparation to the changes, bethinking of the role of organization modelling the guideline of strategic competence development and promoting the application of effective methods to develop competences. The article deals with development of strategic individual competences on organizational as well as individual level.

Psychosocial Climate in the Primary Work Group in State Organizations

Psychosocial Climate in the Primary Work Group in State Organizations

Author(s): Mihaela Luminița Sandu,Lavinia Maria Pruteanu,Alina Mihaela Tabacaru (Ionescu) / Language(s): English / Issue: 25/2020

Keywords: climate;organization;group;work;

The psychosocial climate has a great variety of definitions, this being due to the different point of view from which it is approached: pragmatic, affective, normative, structural.In the psychosociological literature in our country, the definitions proposed for this concept are mostly focused on the attitudinal-emotional aspect of this phenomenon and consequently they generally have many notes in common.Organizational and managerial theories have largely begun with the discovery of the importance of people and the socio-human climate for the efficient functioning of companies. Through multiple analyzes and research, the dynamics of the human factor in the organization and management was configured.From the beginning we must distinguish two universes within any organization. On the one hand, machines and technology, the market and production flows, productivity and competitiveness of products representing a distinct universe of corporations, on the other hand, the other universe, as significant as the first, represented by individual people and relationships among them, the knowledge that people store, produce and apply, the values they adhere to, the myths they generate.Therefore, we have two distinct and at the same time complementary universes: one technological and the other human.The technological universe can be changed easily and quickly. It is rational and visible. The cultural universe, however, is much less transparent, it mixes rationalities in different combinations, which only those who participate directly can understand.Leadership is also a field of research and a practical skill that encompasses the ability of an individual or organization to "lead" or guide other people, teams, or an entire organization.Leadership viewed from a European and non-academic perspective includes a vision of a leader that can be changed not only through community goals but also through the pursuit of personal power. Leadership can result from a combination of several factors.A leadership style is the style of a leader to provide direction, implement plans and motivate people. It is the result of the leader's philosophy, personality and experience.

Young Bulgarian Graduates in the Process of School-to-Work Transition. Youth Between Individual Agency and Family Support

Author(s): Darena Hristozova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2022

Keywords: social change; life course; school-to-work transition; individualization; insecurity

In the contemporary situation of social insecurity and new forms of educational training and work, young people are becoming more inclined to experiment with their educational and employment careers. The processes of extension of the educational period and the validation of new flexible forms of work are results of the global social changes that lead to a more unpredictable and unmanageable situation for people. In this context young people are forced to be more active and to make more individualized life decisions. This paper focuses on two youth groups – high school graduates and university graduates. The analysis aims to outline the specific situation of young Bulgarians: the interlacement between educational attainments, access to the labour market and life values and resourses formed in the family. The quantitative data are drawn from an online survey conducted in 2020 using the respondent method (121 young Bulgarians). The results enable defining the vision of young people with regard to the successful transition from education to employment, and revealing their problems and the specific new lifestyles they are following. Youth’s views are summarized through the prism of their relationships with parents. The study is a good basis for more in-depth qualitative research on young people in transition to employment.

Towards independent learning of disabled students through optimisation of humanistic approaches

Towards independent learning of disabled students through optimisation of humanistic approaches

Author(s): Rohmad Rohmad,Abu Dharin / Language(s): English / Issue: 9/2022

Keywords: Learning; independence learning; disabled students; humanist; humanistic approaches;

Students with disabilities have equal rights in the service of education. They need extra help in learning and developing independence. Learning in the pandemic era could not be implemented optimally. There were several obstacles when learning during the pandemic era, e.g., limited teacher–student communication, material constraints and learning methods. This condition raises the problem of developing students with disabilities’ independence in the pandemic era. This article describes and analyses how humanistic approaches can develop students with disabilities’ independent learning. This research used qualitative paradigms with phenomenological approaches. Data were collected using observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses interactive analysis of Miles and Huberman’s models. The results showed that the humanistic approach in elementary school inclusion programmes succeeded in developing the learning independence of students with disabilities by up to 80%. Strategies for developing humanistic approaches are carried out with biological approaches by developing the curriculum independently and creating a pleasant learning atmosphere.

RELATIONSHIPS AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AND THE INDIVIDUAL WORK CONTRACT WITH A PARTICULAR TIME AND DETERMINED DURATION

RELATIONSHIPS AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AND THE INDIVIDUAL WORK CONTRACT WITH A PARTICULAR TIME AND DETERMINED DURATION

Author(s): Ioan Micle / Language(s): English / Issue: 19/2019

Keywords: temporary work; employers; employment contract; part time; fixed term;

Following the adoption of the current Labour Code (amended in 2005, 2006 and 2011), the regulation of the individual contract of work with temporary work is in accordance with the Directive no. 96/71 / C.E. for placing workers on the occasion of providing services. The terminology of the Directive is much clearer in defining the object of activity of the temporary employment agent, namely "employment placement agency". The regulation of the temporary employment contract also took into account the provisions of the Directive of the European Community Council 91/383 / EEC regarding the completion of the measures aimed at promoting the improvement of the safety and health of the work of the workers having a fixed-term employment report or a temporary employment report.According to the rules of Directive 91/383 / EEC, the temporary employment relationship is established between a temporary employment enterprise, which is the employer, and a worker, the latter being made available for the purpose of working for the benefit and under the control of a user-enterprise. Temporary work is used not only as a tool for flexibility and access to a job for young people, but also as a way of reintegrating adult workers who have been excluded from the productive system.Temporary work is obviously an advantage for people who do not have a qualification or for those who work in agriculture, at certain times of the year. If men prefer agriculture, hotels and restaurants, women opt for real estate and financial intermediation.
