Author(s): Rumen Minkovski / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Power Distance (PD) effects in Bulgarian organisations have been subject to scientific research for almost a quarter of a century now. However, that type of interaction between managers and employees is a relatively new area of study in the field of human resource management in hotels in Bulgaria. The paper presents the results from 12 empirical studies of PD using Hofstede’s model, two of which are in the hospitality industry. A comparative analysis has been carried out on the Power Distance Index (PDI) and its variables: fear among the employees, their understanding of an actual management style, preferred management style, etc. The results obtained in the hospitality industry show the highest PDI in comparison to other sectors. The paper also discusses some of the consequences high PDI can have for the human resource management practice in hotels. Some proposals are made as how to reduce the PDI.

За българския закон за защита от домашно насилие и Истанбулската конвенция - психорлогични размисли

Author(s): Tolya Stoitsova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

My personal motivation to write this article was a consequence of the “heated discussion” on the occasion of the Istanbul Convention. During the working period it became clear to me the need to include Bulgarian low of protection against domestic violence as well. My analysis is a psychological one, in some places – linguistic, but for sure not a legal one, a field in which I am not qualified. In both documents there are no specific texts that defend children and men as victims of domestic violence compared to many texts specifically dedicated to the protection of women from domestic violence. In my opinion, this violates the equality of citizens according to the Bulgarian Constitution, which are guaranteed regardless of gender, age, ethnicity and religion. In conclusion I suggest a serious information campaign то be held, in which mass media to play a significant role followed by public opinion polling and a new parliamentary debate and voting on the Istanbul Convention.

Израженост и корелати конфликта родитељских и пословних улога родитељаa

Author(s): Marija Đorđević,Marina Matejević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2018

The modern family is facing many new challenges as a result of an extreme crisis and profound change that has its own peculiarities in our transitional environment. The development of technology and changes in the organization of work in the contemporary society that has occurred in recent decades carry as a result the emergence of conflicts in the work-family area. This paper addresses the issue of the intensity of the inter-role conflict regarding the parent and business roles. We had three tasks within the goal of our research - examining the relationship between conflict and independent variables: the parents' gender, level оf education and the type of job. In order to determine more easily the differences between the levels of conflict among parental and business roles regarding all mentioned variables, the factor analysis was conducted. The Lickert scale assessing the level of parental and business roles conflict, which was specifically designed for the purposes of this study, set aside five factors - dimension of the conflict: Time conflict, Stress conflict, Positive effect of employment, Behavioral conflict and Conflict in performing activities. The study included 204 participants - working parents with at least one child, three to 16 years old, on the territory of Serbia. The results indicate that the parents in Serbia do not express parental and business roles conflict, in fact, the positive effect of employment is being expressed among these parents. Parental and business roles conflict was not related to any specific type of job, but the results did show that mothers express more stress conflict that fathers do. Regarding the fact that women are taking upon themselves a double job - job of a worker and a housekeeper, these results were expected. The positive employment effect is higher among parents with higher education levels than the parents with lower levels of education. Our interpretation of these results is that it is possible that the parents with higher levels of education could achieve their goals sooner than the parent with lower levels of education, thus these parent are more satisfied wtih themselves. The parents who are satisfied with themselves achieve more easily a balance between work and family.

Индивидуални различия при вземане на решения

Author(s): Georgi Karastoyanov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The monograph attempts to provide an empirically grounded answer to a number of discussional scientific issues related to individual decision-making differences by building a comprehensive conceptual model and constructing a specifically selected toolbox as a prerequisite for creating an empirically validated methodology in the field of research of individual differences in decision-making. Original empirical results have been obtained confirming that the style of decision-making is not identical to cognitive style (nor is it a subset, but contains a cognitive component that does not exhaust any of the styles) and is related to mental self-regulation due to individual differences, generated by the ways of satisfying the hedonistic motif (regulatory focus and fashion), the need to control excitement (stress control), and the need for connectivity and increased self-esteem. These results are a prerequisite for the further development of individual decision-making research as well as the decision-making theory itself, because it allows for a fuller consideration of individual differences and their interaction with the characteristics of the situation and the problem that is being solved.The methodological basis of the study is the cognitive survival theory of Seymour Epstein. The results and theoretical summaries obtained empirically confirm the validity of the global personality theory that has the potential to explain new scientific problems, incorporating private theories such as E. Tory Higgins' motivational theory and Mark R. Leary's sociometric mechanism.

Как социално ангажираното кино се „превърна“ в арткино

Author(s): Hristo Simeonov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2017

The contemporary situation of mass cinema consumption and the development of popular film critic imposed a dilution of some of the classical concepts such as socially engaged cinema and art cinema. If a film tells a social story and is shot in a naturalistic way, with main characters that come from the poor stratum, featuring non-professional or infamous actors – there is a big chance for this film to be defined as “art cinema” or as a replica of the films of the Dardenne brothers, who are now among the most noticeable socially engaged directors. Pop culture characterizes each film, that hasn’t been created for commercial purpose, as an “art film”. This widespread distinction automatically splits the audience, according to its primal preferences and takes away its chance for a new and different experience. Both of the sides keep a distance from each other, but in the end the lost is for the films themselves, stuck into the frames of the vague “art film” concept – that’s how they are deprived from audience that wouldn’t identity with this concept.
