Jóllehet számos kutatás született vezetői stílusok témakörben, és az egyetemi hallgatók kezdetektől gyakori szereplői a feltáró jellegű társadalomtudományi kutatásoknak, kevesebb példát találunk arra, hogy a Full Range Leadership modellt fiatalok körében alkalmazzák. Ebben a cikkben a szerzők magyar egyetemisták körében vizsgálják a preferált vezetői stílusokat, és ezeket a vezetői és vállalkozói aspirációkkal összefüggésben térképezik fel. A kutatásban felhasznált online kérdőívet fővárosi és vidéki egyetemek gazdasági, műszaki és társadalomtudományi képzéseiben tanuló diákok töltötték ki. A kérdőív kitöltésében 335 egyetemi hallgató működött közre. Az eredmények feltáró jellegűek és a szakirodalom alapján várható összefüggéseket néhány ponton módosítják. Négy jól elhatárolható vezetési stílus rajzolódott ki a vizsgált egyetemisták körében, melyek a transzformatív, a szupportív, a defenzív és a laissez-faire vezetői típusokat testesítik meg. Többváltozós elemzés alapján azt a feltevést fogalmazhatjuk meg, hogy az egyetemi hallgatók körében a vezetői hajlandóság a transzformatív vezetési stílusjegyekkel, míg a vállalkozói aspirációk a transzformatív és a szupportív vezetői stílussal mutatnak pozitív összefüggést.

The Natufian culture (c. 15-11.5 ka cal BP) marks a pivotal step in the transition from hunting and gathering to sedentism and farming in the Near East. Although conventionally divided into Early and Late phases, this internal chronology lacks support from reliable absolute dates. This is now addressed by new AMS dating from two neighbouring Natufian sites at Mount Carmel in Israel: Raqefet Cave, conventionally assigned to the Late phase of the Natufian; and el-Wad Terrace, spanning the entire Natufian sequence. Results indicate that these two sites were in fact contemporaneous at some point, but with distinct lunate assemblages. Distinguishing between Natufian phases is, therefore, more complex than previously thought; the social implications of diverse but co-existing cultural manifestations must be considered in any future reconstruction of the Natufian. Keywords: Levant, Israel, Raqefet Cave, el-Wad, Natufian, Introduction The Natufian was a semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer culture that occupied the Levant during the Terminal Pleistocene (e.g. Belfer-Cohen 1991; Valla 1995). Natufian sites in the Mediterranean woodland area of the [...]

Inter-firm relationships vary greatly between capitalist economies as a result of institutional differences, especially in forms of trust and prevalent mechanisms of ensuring that commercial agreements are kept. The transformation of the command economies of Eastern Europe since 1989 and the intensification of competition in their major markets might be expected to destroy previous connections between suppliers and customers and generate instead short-term, ad hoc contractual relationships. However, this study of ten large enterprises in Hungary found that contractual relations between them tended to be more similar to the Japanese firms studies by Sako in her 'Prices, Quality and Trust' (1992) than to the British ones. This seems to reflect the limited extent of change in products, markets and organizational structures of these firms - and the gradual approach to transformation adopted in Hungary as a whole - as well as their specialization in particular industrial branches and their high degree of mutual dependence through debt. Continued dependence on the state has meant that competition between these firms for political support remains important and so they compete more across industrial sectors than within them. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.), Introduction The post-war success of the Japanese economy, and of various forms of 'flexible specialization' in parts of Europe, have encouraged considerable interest in the varied ways that firms organize [...]

ABSTRACT How do emerging markets affect income opportunities and social stratification in transition economies? The authors set out to empirically analyse the income opportunities and the resulting satisfaction with living standards of economic agents in Hungary. Using household panel data as well as data from a separate survey of high-income households, the authors attempt to unravel how income opportunities come about and how these opportunities are related to overall satisfaction with prevailing living standards. Showing that the analysis of income inequalities is too broad a means of measuring income opportunity and satisfaction, the authors use a more fine-grained analysis based on the participation in different productive markets on the one hand, and a differentiation between propertied and income-generating classes on the other. Using this framework, the authors investigate the relationship between market participation, wealth, and satisfaction with prevailing living standards. They find that, counter to common wisdom, increased access to income opportunities does not mean that economic agents are any more satisfied with their circumstances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents information about several study programs and conferences. A new four-year program on European Management and Organizations in Transition has been approved by the European Science Foundation beginning in 1993. It will be directed by professor Anna Grandori and professor Richard Whitley. A conference on Educational innovation in Economics and Business Administration will be held during December 9-11, 1993 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The central theme of the conference will be "Innovation in Economics and Business Administration Education: The Case of Problem-Based Learning". The conference is designed to bring together faculty members, policy-makers, and educational researchers to address issues which will emerge whenever faculty decide to implement new educational approaches or to improve educational quality. In addition to paper presentations and workshops, a meeting will be held to organize a Network of Faculties of economics and business administration. The general aim of the network will be to provide mutual support to member institutions that wish to adapt their curriculum to highly innovative programs.
