Badanie postaw przedsiębiorczych studentów – wybrane aspekty teoretyczne i empiryczne

Author(s): Teresa Łuczka,Małgorzata Rembiasz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 34/2016

Research objective: Alongside a general discussion of the nature, roles and types of entrepreneurship and enterprise, the article presents selected theoretical aspects of student entrepreneurship and the results of the author’s studies in the field. The research problem and methods: The central research problem addressed in the paper is to assess students’ views and opinions regarding the nature of entrepreneurship and their attitude to it. The study described in the article is of a dynamic nature and is a continuation of a project conducted in 2010 in selected institutions of tertiary education in the Wielkopolska region. The study uses the quantitative method, namely the auditorium survey. The process of argumentation: The paper is divided into two parts. The first one describes selected definitions and classifications of entrepreneur- ship and identifies a relationship between self-sufficiency and the intention to establish an enterprise. The second part presents the results of the survey conducted by the authors among students of selected educational institutions in the Wielkopolska region and specifically their attitude towards entrepreneurship.RESEARCH RESULTS: The empirical study shows that students are strongly motivated to engage in enterprise: more than 60% of the respondents described themselves as enterprising. However, such attitudes do not universally translate into an intention to start one’s own business. The respondents valued highly such entrepreneur’s qualities as organizational skills, self-confidence, and creativity, ambition, being driven to achieve one’s goals and people management and team working skills. The respondents differed widely in their views on the nature of entrepreneurship and enterprise: some associated it solely with running one’s own company in order to make a profit, while others saw it as a set of personality traits. Such a broad range of views underscores the complexity of entrepreneurship in today’s economies. Conclusions, innovations and recommendations: The development of entrepreneurial skills from a young age should be recognized as critical for creating a society capable of functioning in a knowledge-based economy. For economic and social reasons, the state should formulate a policy that will foster entrepreneurship. Specific mechanisms should be established that help attain this goal, targeted especially at university students and graduates.

Konstruktywizm edukacyjny w nauczaniu przedsiębiorczości metodą gier elektronicznych

Author(s): Aleksandra Gaweł,Anna Wach-Kąkolewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 34/2016

Research objective: The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the importance of virtual strategic games in teaching entrepreneurship in the context of planning and teaching classes in accordance with the constructive learning theory. The research problem and methods: The paper is based on a case study. The authors present virtual strategic games which were developed as a result of two international teaching projects. Referring to the assumptions of the constructive learning theory (J. Piaget, L. Wygotski, J. Bruner) and to D. Kolb’s concept of experiential learning, the authors discuss the use of electronic games as a teaching method and indicate that it is possible to teach an entrepreneurship course in accordance with the principles of constructive. The process of argumentation: The article begins with the description of the characteristic features of teaching entrepreneurship, which, in principle, should promote pro-active and creative attitudes. Next, learning by doing is discussed, and it is pointed out that activating teaching methods, including electronic games, are proper educational strategies nowadays. The premises of the constructive paradigm in relation to the specific nature of entrepreneurial education are presented in the next section, which is followed by an overview of David Kolb’s learning cycle that provides the framework for designing a teaching process. In the next section, the constructive proposal of teaching classes with the application of the method of electronic games is discussed. Research results: The analysis of the use of electronic games in entrepreneurial education shows that this method has become a part of student-centered educational theories and concepts. Games activate students’ pre-know ledge and involve them in an all-round way. They facilitate team learning and make students reflect while acting and reflect on their actions. They also make it possible to apply new solutions and allow learners to experience and construct knowledge individually in a social context. Conclusions, innovations and recommendations: The argumentation presented in the paper puts emphasis on several issues. Firstly, entrepreneurial education should involve activating educational strategies. Secondly, university education should be student-centered and should engage students’ multi-level activity. Thirdly, the electronic games under study are an interesting constructive teaching proposal for teachers of entrepreneurship. They may also be a source of inspiration for all teachers who seek unconventional solutions in academic education.

Znaczenie inteligencji kulturowej w zarządzaniu międzynarodowymi zespołami projektowymi

Author(s): Dorota Simpson / Language(s): Polish Issue: 23/2017

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This article aims at identifying the role of cultural intelligence in managing international project teams, in particular it focuses on virtual teams. The problem of cultural intelligence and its place in international business is relatively better developed in English‑language sources than in Polish ones. It was the reason to undertake this research. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The article is a review of different sources to present the place and the role of cultural intelligence in the context of various forms of team work, including virtual teams, in international environments. Usually cultural intelligence is examined in terms of intercultural management or managerial competencies. It was one of the reasons of choosing the topic related to international, virtual teams. Methodology applied in the article was based on analyses of the relevant literature, and other sources like publications of research institutions, consulting companies reports and participating observation as a member of international projects and a teacher of foreign students in Poland and in other countries. Descriptive method was utilized to present the results of the research. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The line of reasoning consists of three essential chapters. In the first, changes and trends in the work organisation and utilization of global talents were presented. The second chapter was dedicated to analysis of the concept of cultural intelligence and its components in the context of international team work. In the third chapter, types of inter‑national teams were described with particular emphasis on virtual teams and their communication problems resulting from the insufficient level of members’and leaders’ cultural intelligence. The argumentation was based on the relevant literature, results of empirical research conducted and published by various organizations and own international experience. RESEARCH RESULTS: Cultural intelligence, as a relatively new construct,is not sufficiently highlighted in the Polish literature related to human resource management, therefore the article was based on English‑language sources. The results of conducted research show the growing importance of international project teams, who increasingly work as virtual teams, where proper communication plays a key role. One of the most important barriers in their effective action is cultural misunderstanding. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:Management of companies operating in the global market should pay more attention to, recruitment and selection and intercultural training of managers involved in international activity. In particular, it relates to international projects performed by teams consisting of the representatives of different cultures who perform and communicate, in the main, virtually. It is recommended to include CQ tests into the selection procedures to examine the level of cultural intelligence of candidates. It would have also helped to design intercultural training and development tailored to the needs of employees. International teams, in particular virtual one should start their cooperation from initial face‑to‑face meetings of all members. They can be joined with intercultural training and integration activities that can result in establishing interpersonal relationships before the team starts working.

LEADERSHIP FROM THE MULTIGENERATIONS PERSPECTIVES

Author(s): DENIS SCAFARU,BRIGITTA IELICS / Language(s): English Issue: 23/2023

The Romanian workforce is more diversified than ever in terms of generations. The diversity of generations and their vision of leadership has created a conflict over how to lead organizations whose employees have a very different view from generation to generation. Each generation has a set of values, attitudes and beliefs that can influence the way leaders of organizations lead their people. When we talk about the diversity of generations we refer to 4 of them: BabyBoomers, Generation X, Generation Y and the latest Generation Z. Companies have a huge opportunity in terms of the Millenials generation, right now, because this is the generation that will take over the workforce. These individuals are among the few people who were born in an age where information can be accessed in seconds with the help of technology. Compared to other generations, their level of literacy and digitization is much higher than we can imagine. Businesses can capitalize on their potential for better workplace efficiency and positive outcomes. This study aims to find the best qualities in terms of leadership and to raise awareness between the leaders to be more flexible regarding the leadership styles and to adapt to the needs of the employees.

Author(s): Valentin Kuleto,Milena Ilić,Marko Ranković,Nevenka Popović Šević,Elena Gurgu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

The accelerating pace of environmental degradation and societal challenges necessitates innovative approaches to sustainability. "Sustainability 2.0" represents a paradigm shift that inter-twines neuromarketing and organizational behaviour, unlocking new avenues for fostering sustainable practices. This article explores the intricate relationship between these two fields, dissecting how insights from neuroscience and organizational dynamics can steer society towards a more sustainable future. The first dimension of Sustainability 2.0, examined through the lens of neuromarketing, delves into the neuroscience of consumer decision-making. By decoding the neural processes underpinning sustainable choices, businesses gain a nuanced understanding of consumer behaviour, enabling the development of products and communication strategies that resonate authentically with eco-conscious individuals. On the organizational front, the article investigates the role of organizational behaviour as a catalyst for sustainable cultures. Leaders are pivotal in this transformation, driving corporate practices that prioritize environmental stewardship and social responsibility. The integration of sustainability into organizational DNA is explored, emphasizing the role of positive organizational behaviour in shaping a workforce committed to sustainable practices. This article not only charts the current landscape but also navigates the potential trajectory of Sustainability 2.0. Data-driven insights, behavioural economics, and technological advancements emerge as key components shaping this transformative alliance. The exploration of practical applications and ethical considerations provides a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities inherent in this convergence. As the global community stands at the intersection of environmental responsibility and market dynamics, Sustainability 2.0 offers a roadmap for individuals, businesses, and policymakers. By inter-twining neuromarketing and organizational behaviour, we aim to illuminate the path towards a future where sustainability is not merely an aspiration but an intrinsic and neurologically resonant aspect of our collective consciousness.

Lean transformation: role of the lean manager

Author(s): Norbert MÁTRAI / Language(s): English Issue: 33/2023

Lean leadership is often cited in the practitioner literature as an important factor in successful lean transformation. More and more companies are creating full-time lean manager position and dedicated lean teams. There is a lack of research in the literature on whether the integration of a full-time lean manager into the organisational structure improves the effectiveness of lean, and what are the duties and responsibilities of the lean manager. The research has demonstrated that the effectiveness of lean transformation is significantly higher in organisations with a full-time lean team. A dynamic relationship exists between the roles of the full-time lean manager and the company-wide change management framework. A model job description has been developed for the full-time lean manager position, in the context of the organisational change framework for lean manufacturing implementation. The model would serve as the basis for further empirical research and a recommendation for business leaders on how to design a full-time lean manager position in their company.

ETIČKO (ODGOVORNO) UPRAVLJANJE

Author(s): Ivan Nišavić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2021

The paper, from the perspective of ethical theories, presents and analyzes the aspects of morality that fall under responsible leadership in the field of business ethics. It is an assumption that the idea of responsible leadership is derived from the aspect of morality that is governed by interest, which can be disguised for the sake of personal and/or material profit. In addition, answers are offered to questions concerning the importance and relevance of corporate social responsibility, as well as the status of corporations as moral agents. Those activities that go beyond purely business interest, such as socially responsible work or philanthropic work, are very useful and profitable and, in addition, understand companies as entities who, indirectly, have a specific dose of ethical responsibility, which ultimately makes them moral agents.

SARADNJA, OSEĆAJ ZA PRAVDU I NEUROPOBOLJŠANJE

Author(s): Ivan Mladenović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2015

In this paper we shall explore the neurobiological basis of human cooperation, as well as some biomedical means for enhancing cooperation capacities that are already available, or that will be available in the near future. For that reason we will pay special attention to the role that hormone oxitocin (Oxt) plays in inducing trust among humans. Some recent experiments in neuroeconomics suggest that increase of the level of oxitocin in human brain increases readiness for cooperation. We shall argue that these experiments are crucially important for the enhancement debate, especially on the topic of moral enhancement. Nevertheless, we will raise several objections against the straightforward use of these experiments in pro-enhancement arguments. The first problem, that is biomedical in its nature, concerns the issue of side effects. The second problem is that increased readiness for cooperation may result in some unintended consequences both on individual and societal level. Finally, we will address the political problem of finding an adequate institutional response to the possibility of moral neuroenhancement.

Author(s): Ivana VID VARGIĆ,Dragan Glavaš,Majda Rijavec / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2023

The research aimed to examine the role of job crafting in job satisfaction, work-related flow, life satisfaction and flourishing. A total of 275 employees (of whom 64.4% were women), aged 20 to 53 (Mage = 32.13 (7.21)), participated in the research. The results showed a determination of absorption, work enjoyment, intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction with certain job crafting dimensions, while some dimensions of job crafting also predicted flourishing and life satisfaction of employees. The increase in structural job resources proved to be a positive determinant of all observed indicators of job and general well-being. Also, an increase in challenging job demands positively predicted all three dimensions of work-related flow.

OKULLARDA ÖRGÜTSEL ZEKA’NIN ÖNEMİ

Author(s): Abdullah ADAL / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 62/2024

This study focuses on a research examining the relationships between the level of organizational intelligence in schools and teacher satisfaction and student achievement. Teachers' perceptions of organizational intelligence in the schools where they work and the effects of these perceptions on teacher satisfaction and student achievement were evaluated. According to the results of the study, teachers generally evaluated the level of organizational intelligence of the schools where they served as high. When teachers' perception of organizational intelligence was evaluated on the multidimensional organizational intelligence scale, a high average value was obtained. This shows that teachers attach importance to the ability of their schools to adapt quickly to changes, increase learning capacity, innovation and flexibility. In addition, there is a positive relationship between teachers' perception of organizational intelligence and teacher satisfaction. As can be understood, teachers' high evaluation of the level of organizational intelligence in their schools generally increases their level of satisfaction. When the relationship between student achievement and organizational intelligence is examined, it is seen that schools with high organizational intelligence generally contribute positively to student achievement. Good organizational intelligence can increase student-teacher interaction, manage educational resources more effectively, and provide students with a variety of learning opportunities. In conclusion, this study suggests that the level of organizational intelligence in schools can play an important role in teacher satisfaction and student achievement. In order to increase the level of organizational intelligence in schools, it is recommended to take strategic steps such as strengthening communication, providing professional development opportunities, and encouraging innovation. Implementation of these steps can increase the overall achievement level of schools and teacher satisfaction.

THE IMPACT OF LEADER POWER ON ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO DECISION-MAKING

Author(s): Sry ROSITA,Feny TIALONAWARMI,Syahmardi YACOB / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of work programs and facilitating accomplishing of organizational goals. This study investigates the intricate relationship between leader power, decision-making, and organizational development. Drawing upon a quantitative approach, a structured questionnaire was administered to 386 civil servants to collect data. The empirical analysis employed the Smart-Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) software to examine the structural equation model. The findings substantiate the proposed model, revealing that decision-making partially mediates the association between leader power and organizational development. Interestingly, the direct effects of leader power and decision-making on organizational development are found to be more significant. These results underscore the paramount significance of effective decision-making and shed light on the nuanced interplay between leader power, the decisionmaking process, and organizational development.

Exploring the Intersections of Artificial Intelligence, Organizational Behavior, and Communication Dynamics in the Modern Workplace

Author(s): Ioseb Gabelaia,Ramunė Bagočiūnaitė,Viktorija Navickienė / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Purpose: While organisations struggle to improve efficiency and productivity, the interaction between AI, organisational behaviour, and communication dynamics tends to be complex in the rapidly evolving modern workplace. Moreover, understanding the implications of this intersection is necessary to encourage a balanced and effective workplace. Hence, employing AI technologies in organisational structures introduces challenges such as workforce adaptation, psychological impact, and communication patterns. This research explored how AI influences organisational behaviour and communication dynamics in the modern workplace. Study design/methodology/approach: This study used a mixed method to explore organisational behaviour and communication dynamics across diverse industries comprehensively. This questionnaire aimed to gather respondents’ experiences, focusing on organisational behaviour and communication dynamics. Furthermore, indepth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders (n = 13) to obtain additional insights into goodness and trustworthiness. These interviews offered more depth and richness, providing insights into organisational settings. This mixed methodology ensured a complex understanding of the research problem, leveraging quantitative and qualitative data to enhance the analysis. Findings: The research findings revealed the pathways to how AI influences organisational behaviour and communication dynamics. Initial analysis of survey data and interviews offered insights into employee perceptions, identifying potential challenges and opportunities. One major trait emerging from data analysis is employees’ unstable levels of apprehension and enthusiasm regarding AI integration. While many view it as a mechanism for efficiency, productivity, and innovation, others indicate distress about job shifts and loss of autonomy. Understanding and adopting these opposing insights are fundamental for encouraging a positive organisational ecosystem for AI readiness and adoption. Originality/value: By examining the impact of AI on employees’ attitudes, collaboration, and communication patterns, this research contributes viable insights for organisations navigating the integration of AI into their structures.
