1. Technology and corporate social responsibilityVojko Potočan, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examined the importance of technologies in advancing modern organizations’ corporate social responsibility (CSR). Drawing upon environmentalist and technological theories, we analyzed the shift from the traditional development of technology to the development of sustainable technologies for the further sustainable advancement of organizations. Technology has decisively influenced the development of humankind, but its research has traditionally excluded sustainable development issues. Newer technological visions have addressed the incorporation of technologies in all industries more comprehensively to solve social issues related to environmental protection and sustainable economic development. Such an orientation is followed by several conceptual solutions, such as the sustainable use of traditional technologies, development of sustainable technologies, and interdisciplinary treatment of sustainable technology to extend the CSR model. The results of our study have theoretical implications, highlighting the effects of technological development and new technologies on the course of further societal sustainable development. Practical implications include extending CSR’s Triple Bottom model with a technological dimension to improve organizations’ further sustainable operating and behavior.

2. The behavior of organization in economic crisis : integration, interpretation, and research developmentVojko Potočan, Zlatko Nedelko, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We investigated the significance of an economic crisis for organizations’ ethical behavior, employees’ unethical behavior, and association. To capture the effect of the “2008’ World economic crisis,” we compared the behaviors of organizations and employees’ unethical behavior during a crisis with their behavior in more favorable circumstances before and after the crisis. We used structural equation modeling to analyze answers collected from 2024 employees in Slovenian organizations between 2006 and 2016. The results showed significant growth of organizational engagement in ethical behavior, despite the crisis in the middle of the observed period. The employees’ unethical behavior was significantly less acceptable in crisis compared to before the crisis, while after the crisis, its acceptability increased again, despite not significant. The aggregate sample revealed a significantly negative influence of employee’s unethical behavior on organizations’ ethical behavior that was not significantly different across the considered periods. The research suggests the need to manage the organization’s ethical behavior in times of economic downturn, like in the present COVID 19. Additionally, managers need to devote more attention to prevent employees’ unethical behavior and its influence on organizations’ ethical behavior.

3. Strength of culture and transfer of knowledge in organizationsNataša Pivec, Vojko Potočan, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper analyses the effects of organizational culture on the transfer of knowledge in organizations. While prior literature has considered relations between individual classifications of organizational culture and the whole process of knowledge development, we focused our analysis on the dimension of cultural strength and its effects on the selected phase of knowledge transfer in organizations. Our study suggested that organizations need to analyse how weak and strong organizational culture affects knowledge in organizations. The study drew upon the behavioural, organizational, and knowledge management theories and analysed answers from 138 respondents in Slovenian organizations. Analysing knowledge data demonstrates that older respondents and employees in managerial positions are more prone to knowledge transfer. The analysis shows that the strength of organizational culture is positively and statistically significantly associated with knowledge transfer in organizations. The main practical implication of this study is our finding, which suggests that organizations need to further improve the transfer of knowledge through increasing the strength of organizational culture.

4. Sustainability of organizations : the contribution of personal values to democratic leadership behavior focused on the sustainability of organizationsZlatko Nedelko, Vojko Potočan, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main purpose of this study was to examine the influence of leaders’ personal values on their democratic behavior from a sustainability perspective. We specified and tested the research model, drawing upon modified versions of the theory of basic values and the autocratic–democratic leadership continuum. A total of 208 Slovenian and 196 Austrian leaders’ responses were used in hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling analysis. The results reveal a significant and positive influence of collectivistic values in both samples on democratic leadership behavior. A significant and negative effect of individualistic values on democratic leadership behavior is present in Austria, while in Slovenia, the effect is positive but not significant. Based on acknowledged associations between leader’s values, leaders’ democratic leadership behavior, and sustainable development, we argue that democratic leadership behavior contributes to the sustainable working and behavior of organizations. These results have theoretical implications, indicating how personal values affect leaders’ democratic behavior and contribute to the sustainable working and behavior of organizations. The practical implications relate to the strengthening of leaders’ democratic behavior in Slovenian and Austrian organizations. In addition, these findings will be helpful in increasing the sustainability of organizations via fostering democratic leadership behavior and its underlying personal values.

7. Vloga managementa pri zagotavljanju sredstev neprofitnih športnih organizacijAleks Perger, 2024, diplomsko delo Opis: Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na vlogo managementa pri zagotavljanju sredstev za delovanje neprofitnih športnih organizacij. V začetku diplomskega dela smo raziskali, kaj sploh neprofitne organizacije so in kakšne organizacijske strukture poznamo. V nadaljevanju smo opisali, kaj so športna društva in predstavili razlike med profitnimi in neprofitnimi športnimi organizacijami. Opisali smo, kaj je to športni management, katere ključne naloge opravljajo športni managerji in katere so njihove lastnosti. V teoretičnem delu smo raziskali financiranje teh neprofitnih športnih organizacij, katera sredstva poznamo in njihove procese pridobivanja. V raziskovalnem delu diplomskega dela smo obravnavali primer ŠD Mladost. V sklopu tega smo si na začetku diplomskega dela zastavili tri raziskovalna vprašanja, skozi katera smo ugotovili vlogo managementa v delovanju neprofitnih športnih organizacij, učinkovitost sedanjega modela financiranja obravnavanega športnega društva in dodatne možnosti financiranja društva. Najprej smo raziskali zgodovino društva in njegovega delovanja. Nato smo s pomočjo dokumentacije opisali vire financiranja društva ter naredili analizo trenutnega financiranja. V zaključku diplomskega dela smo raziskali dodatne možnosti financiranja obravnavanega društva.

8. Delovne vrednote generacije Z v SlovenijiUrška Hozjan, 2024, diplomsko delo Opis: V diplomskem delu preučujemo delovne vrednote generacije Z v Sloveniji in primerjamo ugotovitve z že znanimi raziskavami iz Združenih držav Amerike. Generacija Z v Sloveniji ceni intrinzične delovne vrednote, kot so izzivi, učenje in svoboda pri delu, kar je v nasprotju z ZDA, kjer so ekstrinzične delovne vrednote, kot so stabilnost in ugodnosti, najpomembnejše. Študija ugotavlja, da so socialne delovne vrednote srednje pomembne, medtem ko so prestižne delovne vrednote na zadnjem mestu, kar kaže na osredotočenost na osebni razvoj in dobro počutje.
Raziskava opozarja na potrebo po prilagoditvi delovnega okolja za generacijo Z, da bi dosegli bolj uravnotežene delovne vrednote in izboljšali njihovo delovno izkušnjo. Predlaga uvedbo fleksibilnega delovnega časa, možnosti za delo na daljavo in spodbujanje izobraževanja in rasti za povečanje zadovoljstva in uspešnosti te generacije na delovnem mestu.

9. Students’ values, professional socialization and the mental gap of corporate social responsibility perceptionsNikša Alfirević, Vojko Potočan, Zlatko Nedelko, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper examines how values and professional socialization in business schools impact the formulation of students’ contextualized view of social responsibility. We propose the empirical concept of a mental gap between the existing and the wished-for level of a business school’s corporate social responsibility and estimate it empirically by using a sample of business school students from Central and South East Europe. Results show that students wish their business schools to reduce their current orientation toward economic outcomes and focus on environmental and social responsibilities. We interpret those empirical results in terms of the students’ wish to balance achieving economic prosperity and enjoyment of life with the prosocial outcomes of their education. New student generations’ perception of corporate social responsibility is not shaped by the professional socialization patterns but rather by the own perceptions, which can be influenced by experiential approaches to academic teaching and learning. Based on these empirical results, implications for academic practice and future research are explored.

10. Generation Z and ethicality of advancement in the workplace : a study of Slovenia and LithuaniaZlatko Nedelko, Valentina Peleckiene, Kęstutis Peleckis, Kestutis K. Peleckis, Giedre Lapinskiene, Vojko Potočan, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The main purpose of this study was to examine the ethicality of future employees’ attitudes toward advancement in the workplace in Slovenia and Lithuania. This study focuses on students representing young adults from Generation Z as future employees in organizations. Using a survey of work-related issues, we collected 212 answers from Slovenian and 159 from Lithuanian' students from business faculties. We used t-tests and regression analyses to obtain results. We found that the future employees in Slovenia see organizationally beneficial behavior and self-indulgent behavior significantly more acceptable for their advancement, than their Lithuanian peers. No differences exist in the perception of destructive behavior among participants from both countries. Substantial differences in the importance of personal values among Generation Z members in both societies, provide a strong support for the divergence nature of Generation Z across cultures. The impact of personal values on the ethicality of different behavior for advancement in the workplace among future employees in both societies is substantial, but biased and follows different patterns. In Slovenia, the dominant role has power, followed by hedonism, benevolence, security, conformity, tradition, and universalism, while in Lithuania, the dominant role belongs to self-direction, followed by tradition, universalism, security, achievement, and power. This study will help us to understand Generation Z values and their perceptions regarding ethicality of advancement in the workplace and enable organizations to manage the behavior of future employees.
