1. Exploring differences in green innovation among countries with individualistic and collectivist cultural orientationsAlona Sova, Maja Rožman, Romana Korez-Vide, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper, we explore the extent to which individualistic and collectivist national cultural orientations are essential for green innovation. In this context, we also examine the extent of green innovation in countries at different levels of socioeconomic development. All data were collected for the latest available year (2020). This research was carried out on a sample of 60 selected countries, using parametric tests to identify statistically significant differences between variables and descriptive statistics to examine statistically significant differences in-depth. The results show that, on average, countries with prevailing individualistic cultural orientations and high levels of socioeconomic development perform better in green innovation than countries with prevailing collectivist cultural orientations. On average, countries with a prevailing individualistic cultural orientation scored moderate on green innovation, while countries with a prevailing collectivist orientation scored low. However, the level of socioeconomic development, including designing and implementing green policies, was recognized as essential to green innovation in both national cultures with prevailing individualistic orientations and national cultures with prevailing collectivist orientations.

2. Exploring the relationship between individual tax culture and Schwartz’s higher-order personal values among accountants as taxpayers in SloveniaLidija Hauptman, Aleksandra Hlastec, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The OECD has called for a stronger and more dynamic sustainable tax-paying culture
that countries must cultivate and a more robust ethical profile for individual taxpayers.
The individual tax culture might vary in the significance attributed to values influenc-
ing taxpayers’ perceptions toward taxation. As the hierarchy of values can be influ-
enced through manipulation, policymakers can leverage knowledge of the relationship
between higher-order personal values and individual tax culture to enhance tax rev-
enue collection. This study aims to measure the relationship between Schwartz’s high-
er-order personal values and taxpayers’ culture, assessed through attitudes toward tax
evasion, tax compliance, and the tax system. A survey was administered to the Slovene
taxpayers (69 accountants and 130 non-accountants). The assumption was that the
personal values system of accountants ought to underpin their ethical tax decision-
making because of the professional accountants’ ethical codes. As professional accoun-
tants play a crucial role in maintaining stability for businesses, they hold a significant
position in ensuring the effective operation of taxation systems. Exploratory factor
analysis was used, and the analysis was carried out using the principal component
method. The findings indicate that some higher-order personal values, particularly
self-transcendence (r = 0.244) and self-enhancement (r = –0.403), are significant in
explaining ethical behavior. Within the self-enhancement value, power and achieve-
ment strongly influence the ethical behavior of accountants. The perception of power
associated with their expertise makes accountants less tax-compliant. Conservation
values are of greater importance for non-accountants (r = 0.280). The results enhance
comprehension of values’ influence on ethical decision processes.

3. Navigating gender nuances : assessing the impact of AI on employee engagement in Slovenian entrepreneurshipMaja Rožman, Polona Tominc, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background: Our research delved into exploring various selected facets of AI-driven
employee engagement, from the gender perspective, among Slovenian entrepreneurs. Methods:
This research is based on a random sample of 326 large enterprises and SMEs in Slovenia, with an
entrepreneur completing a questionnaire in each enterprise. Results: Findings suggest that there
are no significant differences between male and female entrepreneurs in Slovenia regarding various
aspects of AI-supported entrepreneurial management practice including the following: AI-supported
entrepreneurial culture, AI-enhanced leadership, adopting AI to reduce employee workload, and
incorporating AI tools into work processes. The widespread integration of AI into entrepreneurship
marks a transition to a business landscape that values inclusivity and equity, measuring success
through creativity, strategic technology deployment, and leadership qualities, rather than relying on
gender-based advantages or limitations. Our research also focused on the identification of gender
differences in path coefficients regarding the impact of the four previously mentioned aspects of
AI on employee engagement. While both genders see the value in using AI to alleviate employee
workload, the path coefficients indicate that female entrepreneurs report higher effectiveness in
this area, suggesting differences in the implementation of AI-integrated strategies or tool selection.
Male entrepreneurs, on the other hand, appear to integrate AI tools into their work processes more
extensively, particularly in areas requiring predictive analytics and project scheduling. This suggests
a more technical application of AI in their enterprises. Conclusions: These findings contribute
to understanding gender-specific approaches to AI in enterprises and their subsequent effects on
employee engagement.

5. Ernest Hemingway in Slovenia since 1990 : scandal, the Soča and six-toed catsSimon Zupan, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The position of Ernest Hemingway in Slovenian culture in the pre-1990 period was systematically examined by Maver (1990). Developments since then, however, have not yet been researched in a synthetic manner. The article analyzes three aspects of Hemingway's presence in Slovenia: literary-critical reception of his works in Slovenia after 1990; his position in Slovenian popular culture; and the statistical data about the number of book loans for his books in Slovenian libraries. The analyses confirm that Hemingway's position in Slovenia has not changed dramatically and that he remains recognized as one of the foremost 20thcentury American writers.

6. Copper sulfate elicitation effect on biomass production, phenolic compounds accumulation, and antioxidant activity of Morus nigra L. stem node cultureJan Senekovič, Špela Jelen, Andreja Urbanek Krajnc, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Phenolic compounds are strong antioxidant and antibacterial agents with great pharmacological, medicinal, nutritional, and industrial value. The potential of Morus nigra in stem node culture was investigated for the production of phenolic compounds and their elicitation with CuSO4. Individual phenolic compounds in the samples were identified and quantified by using HPLC-PDA and HPLC-MS methods, while the content of total phenolic compounds, the content of total flavonoids, and the antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were evaluated spectrophotometrically. The highest fresh and dry weights were obtained in plantlets treated with 0.5 mM CuSO4 for 42 days. The highest total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of the extracts were determined in stem node cultures treated with 3 mM CuSO4 for 42 days. Under the latter conditions, the predominant representatives of the caffeoylquinic acids, p-coumaric acid derivatives, kaempferol derivatives, and quercetin derivatives also achieved the highest content. The most abundant phenolic compound in all samples was the chlorogenic acid. The nodal culture of M. nigra elicited with CuSO4 could potentially be used for the industrial production of phenolic compounds, especially caffeoylquinic acids. Moreover, considering the biochemical response to CuSO4 treatment and the ability to tolerate and accumulate copper, the potential application of M. nigra in phytoremediation is also highlighted.

7. Safety culture at primary healthcare level : a cross-sectional study among employees with a leadership roleZalika Klemenc-Ketiš, Tonka Poplas-Susič, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Introduction: An effective leadership is critical to the development of a safety culture within an organization. With this study, the authors wanted to assess the self-perceived level of safety culture among the employees with a leadership function in the Ljubljana Community Health Centre.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in the largest community health centre in Slovenia. We sent an invitation to all employees with a leadership role (N=211). The Slovenian version of the SAQ – Short Form as a measurement of a safety culture was used. The data on demographic characteristics (gender, age, role, work experience, working hours, and location of work) were also collected. An electronic survey was used.
Results: The final sample consisted of 154 (69.7%) participants, out of which 136 (88.3%) were women. The mean age and standard deviation of the sample was 46.2±10.5 years. The average scores for the safety culture domains on a scale from 1 to 5 were 4.1±0.6 for Teamwork Climate, Safety Climate, and Working Conditions and Satisfaction, 3.7±0.5 for Perception of Management, 3.6±0.4 for Communication, and 3.5±0.6 for Stress Recognition.
Conclusion: The safety culture among leaders in primary healthcare organizations in Slovenia is perceived as positive. There is also a strong organizational culture. Certain improvements are needed, especially in the field of communication and stress recognition with regards to safety culture.

8. A comprehensive approach in medical nutrition therapy for adults' weight loss management in LebanonMarie Therese Khalil, Joseph Matta, Mateja Videmšek, Damir Karpljuk, Maja Meško, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The objective of the research is to identify the different factors of Lebanese culture that interfere with weight loss therapy and assist the field of nutrition in homogenising in a standardised manner the protocol of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). The first part of the study is based on a literature review, and, in the second part, quantitative analysis was used. The research was conducted on 514 Lebanese adults via questionnaire. The analysis was performed with the AMOS (Version 22, IBM®, Amonk, NY, USA) statistical tool. For the analysis of correlations, chi-square and non-parametric tests were used. Variables affecting weight loss management were identified with the aid of seven hypotheses using structural equation modelling (SEM). Body shape and Body Mass Index (BMI) were found to be inter-related to cognitive behaviours toward food, lifestyle practices, medical conditions, food and beverages. In parallel, and based on the research results, younger adults, in particular women, have better BMI and look better in terms of body shape. Ageing has a direct impact on weight gain. Older people have a lower activity level, which is more prevalent among women, and they also prefer to eat typical Lebanese food. Habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, are directly related to obesity and some medical conditions. Low physical activity influences the problems related to body shape. For further studies, one should also include types of physical activities in terms of intensity and number of hours. This would assist the study in being more specified and credible toward the effect of exercise on weight loss management.

9. A strategic model for sustainable business policy developmentTjaša Štrukelj, Jelena Nikolić, Dejana Zlatanović, Simona Sternad Zabukovšek, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Growing importance of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility and business ethics requires various types of contemporary organisations innovation. This research assesses the problem related to business policy innovation (BPI), which represents organisational governance determination. The main purpose of the paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively present a new, requisitely holistic strategic model of the soft factors influencing BPI, which interdependently incorporates changes in organisational values, culture and business ethics, as well as stakeholders’ interests reconciliation, thus determine soft possibilities for more sustainable business policy, management and practice. While the relevance of these factors for business policy is in the literature widely recognized, there is a small amount of empirical research on their influence on BPI. To mitigate this research gap, advanced structural equation modelling (SEM) based partial least squares (PLS) method was used for analysing data of 734 organisations in Slovenia, the EU state. The research results show that researched soft factors organisational values, culture and stakeholders’ interests reconciliation statistically confirmed influence BPI. Thus, these recognitions can be used as the basis for strategic managerial decision making towards social responsibility and sustainability of an organisation. Reasons why it has not been statistically confirmed that business ethics influence BPI needs to be investigated in future research.
