1. Does ownership matter : Nexus between entrepreneurial orientation, network capability, financial resources diversity and financial performance of HGCsBlaž Frešer, Polona Tominc, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background/Purpose: This paper aims to analyse the nexus between selected growth determinants and the finan-
cial performance of high-growth companies (HGCs) in relation to their ownership. In line with principal-agent theory,
we try to determine if the differences exist between managers who are also (co)owners and those managers who are
not (co)owners. Also, we analysed if additional equity-based compensation, through different growth determinants,
could increase HGC’s financial performance.
Methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 119 HGCs from the Republic of Slovenia and was carried out in
2022. The empirical analysis was performed using regression analysis based on exploratory factor analysis (EFA).
Analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 software.
Results: Results showed that considering the importance of organisational networking capability for HGC’s finan-
cial performance, there are statistically significant differences between owner-managers and managers, implying
that ownership (and equity-based compensations) could positively shape HGC’s financial performance. In addition,
results show that when analysing the owners-managers group of HGCs, risk-taking and organisational networking
capability positively and statistically significantly impact HGC’s financial performance.
Conclusion: Our paper highlights the importance of organisational networking capability as a growth determinant
through which equity-based manager compensations can positively influence HGCs’ financial performance. The
study contributes to diverse literature related to HGCs and contributes to relevancy for the policymakers aiming at
enabling better financial performance of HGCs. Ključne besede: high-growth company, entrepreneurial orientation, network capability, financial performance, principal-agent theory, equity-based compensation Objavljeno v DKUM: 09.07.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 9

2. The impact of financial and non-financial work incentives on the safety behavior of heavy truck driversSebastjan Škerlič, Vanja Erčulj, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The goal of the research is to determine how compensation affects the safety behavior of truck drivers and consequently the frequency of traffic accidents. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on a sample of 220 truck drivers in international road transport in the EU, where the results of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) show that in the current state of the transport sector, financial and non-financial incentives have a positive impact on the work and safety behavior of drivers. Financial incentives also have an impact on drivers’ increased perception of their driving ability, while moving violations continue to have a major impact on the number of accidents. The proposed improvements enable decision-makers at the highest level to adopt legal solutions to help manage the issues that have been affecting the industry from a work, social and safety point of view for the past several years. The results of the research therefore represent an important guideline for improvements to the legislature as well as in the systematization of truck driver compensation within companies.

3. Family members' involvement in elder care provision in nursing homes and their considerations about financial compensation: A qualitative studyAna Habjanič, Majda Pajnkihar, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The aim of this studz was to establish how familz members are involved in elder care provision in nursing homes; this included research into their feelings about potentiallz extending their involvement to obtain financial benefits as compensation for high accommodation costs. Familz members remain involved in the caring process after their relatives have been admitted to an institution. On average, accommodation costs in nursing homes in Slovenia haverisen above the residentsʼ retirement pension, and families must supplement the difference. Because of this, familial involvement should be linked to reduced accommodation costs. This research emplozed a non-experimental, descriptive studz design through unstructured interviews. Participants included fiftz familz members (n = 50) who visit their relatives in nursing homes. Data were collected in 2010 at five nursing homes in Slovenia and processed bz means of conventional content analzsis. The major themes that emerged from the content analzsis, describing familz involvement, were as follows: visiting and making oneself useful, deliverz of items for personal use, hands-on care, phzsical therapz and organiyation of nursing homeactivities. Familz members showed some interest in receiving financial compensation for their involvement. The proposed financial compensation maz bea delicate and morallz questionable matter but would involve fairness and transparencz, while enabling easier organiyation of elder care provision. Eventuallz, nursing home residentsʼ well-being could be improved.
