Opis: Background: The information age has ushered in a novel economic model known as the information economy, challenging traditional bureaucratic mechanisms that were primarily seen as tools to mitigate uncertainty. Within this context, complex leadership emerges as a paradigm that thrives on systemic interactions and intricate dynamics. Here, the onus lies on establishing the framework and conditions that empower the adaptive essence of leadership to flourish. Purpose: The aim of this research is to establish a framework for optimal leadership management, uncovering previously unexplored factors shaping employee work behavior. By identifying and defining key components within management mechanisms that greatly enhance employee performance, the objective is to cultivate rooted and effective management practices. Study design/methodology/approach: The research involved 480 respondents from diverse sociodemographic backgrounds and companies. Complexity leadership was assessed using the Complexity Leadership Scale, measuring Generative and Administrative leadership. Employee cooperation was evaluated with the Scala Supportive and Non-Controlling Supervision. Statistical methods included multiple regression, Pearson correlation, t-tests, and MANOVA. Findings/conclusions: The evaluation shows that both Generative and Administrative leadership are moderately expressed. Generative leadership positively correlates with Supportive and Non-Controlling Supervision, achieving statistically significant results. In contrast, Administrative leadership has negative correlations with these supervisory styles. Limitations/future research: The limitations of the research are of a methodological nature and refer to the sample of employees, according to demographic characteristics and company characteristics. Also, ONLINE FIRST 4 Tomašević et al. Addressing Socio-Economic Drivers of Management Style Evolution: Embracing Complexity Leadership Solutions STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT, Vol. xx (20xx), No. x, pp. 0xx-0xx questionnaires based on self-assessment most often imply a certain number of socially desirable answers. Future research should include a larger sample to improve external validity and ensure that the empirical evidence obtained is variable across a range of organizational settings.

Opis: Artificial intelligence, as a field of computer science focused on developing technologies that simulate intelligent behaviours and human cognitive functions, undoubtedly has huge potential to transform all business activities, including the process of employee learning. However, different generations have varying attitudes toward the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing possibilities offered by artificial intelligence. The general purpose of this research is to gain insights into the attitudes of Generation Z regarding the use of AI in the context of the employee learning process. Empirical research was conducted on a sample of 264 respondents from Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, Shapiro-Wilk, and Mann-Whitney tests were used to test hypotheses. Generally, the research findings indicate that the upcoming generation of the workforce considers artificial intelligence a significant factor in improving the employee learning process. The study contributes to human resource management literature because it brings new insights into Generation Z attitudes, whose participation in the active workforce will significantly increase in the coming years.

Opis: Background: The increase in population life expectancy in developed economies is also reflected in the aging of the workforce; therefore, enterprises should create an appropriate work environment for all employees, emphasizing the older ones. Objectives: The major objectives of this paper are to establish the impact of appropriate working conditions and training programs for older employees on their work motivation, as well as to establish the latter’s impact on the older employees’ work engagement in Slovenian medium-sized and large enterprises. Methods/Approach: Structural equation modeling explored the links between four constructs – appropriate working conditions, training programs, work motivation, and work engagement. Results: In Slovenian enterprises, appropriate working conditions and training programs for older employees positively impact their work motivation. Moreover, the work motivation of older employees positively impacts their work engagement. Conclusions: These findings can be useful for employers or managers for developing targeted employee motivation and employee engagement programs to leverage the talents and dedication of older employees.

Opis: Managing older employees is a major challenge for companies, especially during COVID-19. Therefore, creating a healthy and entrepreneurial work environment as well as an inclusive culture within organizations is crucial for companies to maintain their sustainable advantage. The main objective of this paper is to develop a multidimensional model of a healthy and entrepreneurial work environment for older employees and determine its impact on their work engagement during COVID-19. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The results show that workplace health promotion, entrepreneurial working conditions, and leadership lead to better well-being of older employees. In addition, entrepreneurial working conditions that promote intergenerational synergy lead to higher work engagement of older employees, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the elderly, the entrepreneurial work environment is therefore particularly important, even though entrepreneurship is mostly attributed to younger men. In addition, older employees’ well-being and the promotion of intergenerational synergy have a positive impact on their work engagement. The results will help companies better manage their older employees, shape their workplace, and increase the sustainable benefits of their businesses during and after the COVID-19 crisis.

Opis: The main aim of this study was to analyze the effects of availability of key information and intergenerational leadership on burnout divided into physical symptoms of burnout and emotional symptoms of burnout and work engagement regarding the firm size during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The empirical study included 583 older employees in Slovenia who participated in the survey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the effects between constructs. We analyzed structural paths for the entire sample and for the two groups (small and large companies). According to the results concerning both groups, the impact of the availability of key information on emotional burnout is negative only for small companies. Contrary to that the negative impact of intergenerational leadership on emotional burnout is much stronger in large companies. Concerning the impact of physical burnout on emotional burnout, the positive impact of physical burnout exists in both types of companies but is stronger in small companies. The findings will contribute to a clearer picture and the adoption of further measures to prevent burnout in the workplace and increase work engagement concerning the firm size, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
