1. Sustainable approach to occupational health and safety careSimona Šarotar Žižek, Matjaž Mulej, Ana Marija Gričnik, 2024, review article Abstract: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) careis not requisitely holistic if it is not sustainable. Hence SOSHis suggested as a novel approach to the management of individuals, with a particular emphasis on the long-term aspects of occupational safety and health, as well as the principles of regeneration and renewal. SOSH improves a company's ability to recruit and keep high-quality employees: companies create attractive and unique employer brands through the incorporation of SOSH practises into their employee value proposition, mission, and vision. SOSH emphasizes the humane treatment of individuals, emphasising their health, safety, and overall well-being. SOSH facilitates the development of a company in a sustainable and sustained manner. Furthermore, it also encompasses other significant aspects, such as the safety, health, and well-being of employees, employability, justice, employee development, and employee participation, among others. Sustainability, social responsibility, dialectical systems theory, and its law of requisite holism all contribute to the creation of SOSH, which is a new knowledge-cum-values management approach to OSH. No similar concept is offered in the existing literature.

2. Zagotavljanje dobrega počutja stebrov vzgoje in izobraževanja: učencev, učiteljev in strokovnih delavcev : učencev, učiteljev in strokovnih delavcevSimona Šarotar Žižek, Matjaž Mulej, Ana Marija Gričnik, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Dobro počutje je bistvenega pomena za zdravje in vsakdanje življenje. Otroci danes odraščajo v digitalnem svetu; tehnologije jih obdajajo, preden znajo govoriti, hkrati pa jih spremljajo na vsakem koraku, tudi v izobraževanju. Moderna (informacijsko-komunikacijska) tehnologija prinaša številne prednosti, a se tudi precej negativno odraža na dobrem počutju otrok, zato moramo poskrbeti za njihovo dobro počutje in jih obvarovati pred perečimi tveganji. Temelj obravnave dobrega počutja je pozitivna psihologija, nova veja psihologije, ki namesto problemov in negativnih lastnosti ljudi poudarja priložnosti in dobre lastnosti človeka oz. v tem primeru učiteljev, otrok in mladostnikov, strokovnih delavcev ter drugih sodelavcev v vzgoji in izobraževanju. Rezultati kažejo, da imajo pri spodbujanju dobrega počutja bistveno vlogo učitelji in starši, vzgojno-izobraževalne institucije pa potrebujejo sistematičen celovit pristop, ki vključuje medsektorsko sodelovanje, razredno klimo, celotno vzgojno-izobraževalno institucijo in kurikulum, pri čemer moramo upoštevati dolgoročne učinke vseh prizadevanj ter v njihovo oblikovanje vključevati otroke in mladostnike.

3. The sustainable socially responsible society : well-being society 6.0Simona Šarotar Žižek, Matjaž Mulej, Amna Potočnik, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The purpose of this study is to introduce Sustainable Socially Responsible Society 6.0 as a new concept that is supposed to extend ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ to the entire society for humankind to gain a new chance to survive beyond the dangerous neoliberalism that abuses the market and democracy to the benefit of very few humans—the richest one percent and a few around them—and beyond Society 5.0. This study aims to define the framework conditions of ‘Well-being Society 6.0’, where humans can both achieve and define their targeted quality of life, including work–life balance, etc. Mulej’s Dialectical Systems Theory provides requisite (i.e., sufficient and necessary) integrity/holism of approach that leads to a Sustainable Socially Responsible (SSR) Society without overlooking the necessity of personal, including managerial, responsibility. Most humans try to satisfy their basic survival needs by management, which is requisitely holistic; it can and shall contribute to setting the framework conditions, foremost with non-technological innovation management. The Economy for the Common Good can contribute to SSR Society 6.0, including ‘Well-being society’. In addition, in 2019–2021 humankind is experiencing the ‘new Corona Virus’ crisis, killing millions, but also enabling a crucial step toward a well-being society by returning worldwide economic governance from neoliberalism to Keynes-based state capitalism with no loud objections.

4. Model of socially responsible transfer of parent organization culture to the subsidiary organization in a foreign cultural environment concerning internal communication, stress, and work satisfactionDarja Kukovec, Borut Milfelner, Matjaž Mulej, Simona Šarotar Žižek, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The organizational culture is a significant construct in a time of change during the organizational transition, and it plays an important role in achieving goals of social responsibilities, which is an important part of sustainability. The literature shows the gap of socially responsible transfer of organizational culture with the impact on employee’s well-being. The cultural changes of the organization during the transition are particularly in connection with the impact on internal communication where organizational culture presents a part of values, norms, and ethics, which influences successfully implemented changes and in such a way has an influence on the stress and work satisfaction. The main purpose of the presented study is the development of the model of socially responsible transfer of organizational culture to the foreign subsidiaries on a basis of adjusted internal communication, which reduces stress and increases work satisfaction. Impacts of organizational culture on internal communication, stress, and work satisfaction are clearly presented, as well as inter-related impacts of the constructs concerning national culture, leadership, and organizational knowledge. Thus, the new holistic model of socially responsible transfer of the parent organization culture to foreign subsidiaries clearly defines steps of organizational culture, internal communication, stress management, and work satisfaction. Managerial implications are discussed.
Keywords: organizational culture, internal communication, work stress, work satisfaction, organizational change, organizational transfer, social responsibility, sustainability

5. Odpravljanje neoliberalistične protireformacije državnega kapitalizmaViljem Merhar, Viktor Žakelj, Matjaž Mulej, 2014, polemic, discussion, commentary Abstract: Živimo v neoliberalnem kapitalizmu; vladajo globalno monopolna podjetja, ne trg. Ukinjajo konkurenco in omejujejo plače, zaposlovanje in kupno moč 85 % človeštva. Uničujejo tržno gospodarstvo kot družbeno-ekonomski sistem: vodijo ga z etiko enostranskosti in zlorabe vpliva, ne z Smithovo etiko soodvisnosti nevidne roke. Množice tega ne bodo več dolgo prenašale. Nujno bo povezati Smithova, Ricardova, Marxova, Keynesova, Galbraithova in Felberjeva spoznanja ter spoznanja Evropske unije in drugih, ki vidijo pot iz sedanje krize izobilja in bede v novem družbeno-ekonomskem redu: družbeni odgovornosti, integralni zeleni ekonomiji, ekonomiji skupne koristi/blaginje in ekosocializmu, ki zanika državni socializem 20. stoletja.

6. Obvladovanje sistemskih strateških kriz za preprečevanje poslovnih krizIgor Vrečko, Matjaž Mulej, 2012, original scientific article Abstract: V prispevku je obravnavana problematika prepoznavanja in razreševanja strateških kriz v poslovnih sistemih. Prepoznavanje strateških kriz je glede na obstoječe opredelitve pogosto stvar subjektivne interpretacije, kar otežuje oblikovanje in izvajanje potrebnih ukrepov za njihovo razreševanje. V prispevku opredeljujemo nova miselna izhodišča za opredelitev strateških kriz in uvajamo pojem sistemske strateške krize. Te pojasnimo in opredelimo kot vzrok za nastanek poslovnih strateških kriz in posledično operativnih kriz. Z opredelitvijo sistemske strateške krize ustvarjamo podlago za uvajanje celovitega pristopa k razreševanju strateških kriz z integracijo strateškega in projektnega menedžmenta, delujočega na konceptih sistemskega razmišljanja in kreativnosti, kar na kratko orišemo v predlaganem dvodimenzionalnem modelu obvladovanja sistemskih strateških kriz.

10. Corporate social responsibility considered with two systems theories : a case from SerbiaDejana Zlatanović, Matjaž Mulej, Zdenka Ženko, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becomes one of the prerequisites for
success of contemporary organizations aimed at humankind’s survival by
sustainable development. As SR behavior can generate significant benefits,
more and more organizations are developing SR strategic plans and
implementing SR initiatives. In ISO 26000, CSR has three basic concepts:
Responsibility for one's influences over society, interdependence and holistic
approach. Therefore, authors focus on systemic approach to CSR. The purpose
is to demonstrate how combined use of appropriate systems theories can help
dealing with CSR. Accordingly, Dialectical Systems Theory (DST) and System
Dynamics (SD), as relevant systems theories, i.e. methodologies stemming
from different systemic paradigms, were selected. DST helped to identify
some relevant aspects and components of CSR which were empirically tested
in businesses in the Republic of Serbia. Hence, the following factors, i.e.
groups of SR activities are selected as relevant for improving organizational
performance: General CSR activities; CSR activities towards consumers; CSR
activities towards environmental protection and beneficiaries’ health, and
Socially responsible after sales activities. In addition, empirical research
results indicating the influence of the above factors on performance were the
basis for using the tools of SD, such as stock and flow diagrams and causal
loop diagrams. SD tools contribute to simulating the system's future behavior,
i.e. future performance level after improving these CSR activities. Authors
introduce a new, systemic approach to conceptualizing and researching CSR
by providing appropriate methodological support for exploring relevant
interdependencies of CSR aspects.
Keywords: corporate social responsibility, ISO 26000 holistic approach to CSR, dialectical systems theory, system dynamics
