Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): Kakšen odnos imajo študenti in diplomanti poslovnih in ekonomskih ved do učenja tujih jezikov? Ali obstajaj razlike med zaposlenimi in nezaposlenimi ter med študenti dodiplomskih in podiplomskih študijskih programov? Namen: Namen prispevka je pomagati načrtovalcem izobraževalnih programov na področju ekonomskih in poslovnih ved z analizo odnosa študentov in diplomantov na tem strokovnem področju do učenja tujih jezikov. Metoda: V teoretičnem pregledu je uporabljena deskriptivna oz. opisna metoda, podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo spletnega orodja 1ka, nato pa obdelani s programom SPSS, pri čemer je bila uporabljena deskriptivna statistična analiza, ki je omogočila prikaz distribucije anketirancev po posameznih razredih. Na koncu sta bili z namenom preverjanja odnosov med spremenljivkami uporabljeni še faktorska in korelacijska analiza. Rezultati: Rezultati, pridobljeni na vzorcu 283 oseb, kažejo, da se proučevana populacija pogosto sooča s potrebo po znanju tujega jezika. Delovno aktivni, med njimi še posebej zaposleni na delovnih mestih, kjer je potrebna visokošolska izobrazba, bolj zaznavajo to potrebo. Ravno tako zaznavanje potrebe po znanju tujega jezika narašča s stopnjo študija, pri čemer le znanje angleščine ne zadošča vsem potrebam. Organizacija: Študija prikazuje odnos do tujih jezikov po posameznih segmentih populacijo razdeli na dodiplomske in podiplomske študente ter na diplomante brez statusa, nato preučuje odnos tudi glede na aktivnost na trgu dela, in sicer populacijo razdeli na neaktivne, zaposlene prek študentskih servisov in redno oz. samozaposlene. Družba: Rezultati študije ponujajo uvid trenutno stanje v segmentu slovenske družbe, ki deluje na področju ekonomije in poslovanja, poudarja pomen učenja tujih jezikov na tem strokovnem področju in postavlja izhodišče za modifikacijo vloge jezikov v poslovnih in ekonomskih študijskih programih. Originalnost: Ena obsežnejših raziskav o odnosu slovenskih študentov ekonomskih in poslovnih ved v do učenja tujih jezikov v zadnjem desetletju. Omejitve/nadaljnje raziskovanje: Priporočljive so nadaljnje raziskave med študentsko populacijo skozi daljše časovno obdobje, v različnih okoljih in na različnih strokovnih področjih. Research Question (RQ): What is the attitude of students and graduates of business and economics towards learning foreign languages? Are there differences between employed and unemployed and between undergraduate and postgraduate students? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to help planners of educational programs in the field of economics and business by analysing the attitude of students and graduates in this professional field towards learning foreign languages. Method: Descriptive method was used in the theoretical part, data were collected using the online tool 1ka, and then processed with the SPSS program, using descriptive statistical analysis, which allowed showing the distribution of respondents. Finally, factor and correlation analyses were used in order to test the relations between variables. Results: The results obtained on a sample of 283 respondents show that the studied population often faces the need for knowledge of foreign languages. Employees, especially those in jobs where higher education is needed, are more aware of this need. Likewise, the perception of the need for foreign language skills increases with the level of study, and knowledge of English alone does not meet all the needs. Organization: The study presents the attitude towards foreign languages by segments it divides the population into undergraduate and postgraduate students and graduates without status, then examines the relationship according to activity in the labour market (divides the population into inactive, employed through student services and regularly or. self-employed). Society: The results of the study offer an insight into the current situation in the segment of Slovenian society which operates in the field of economics and business emphasizes the importance of learning foreign languages in this professional field and sets the starting point for modifying the role of languages in business and economic study programs. Originality: One of the first comprehensive studies on the attitude of Slovenian students of economics and business towards learning foreign languages in the last decade. Limitations / further research: Further research is recommended among the student population over a longer period of time, in different environments and in different professional fields.

Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): Kakšno vlogo in kako močan vpliv ima zaupanje v soigralce in zaupanje v trenerja na kohezivnost športnegatima? Namen: Namen je prispevati k teoriji menedžmenta človeških virov s pojasnjevanjem odnosov med zaznavo kakovosti MČV, zaupanjem v sodelavce in nadrejenega ter timsko kohezivnostjov športu. Na temelju teorijeje razvit model, njegova veljavnost pa preverjena v praksi. Metode: Model je bil testiran na podatkih, zbranih pri 559 košarkarjih iz 73 klubov, in sicer z modeliranjem strukturnih enačb.Uporabljen je tudi Sobelov test učinka posredovanja. Rezultati: Zaupanje športnikov v trenerja in v soigralce neposredno pozitivno vpliva na raven kohezivnosti tima. Percepcija kakovosti MČV močno neposredno pozitivno vpliva na zaupanje v trenerja, ne pa tudi neposredno na kohezivnost ali na zaupanje v soigralce. Kljub temu se pozitiven učinek percepcije MČV posredno preliva preko zaupanja športnikov v trenerja na njihovozaupanje v soigralce, posredno pa tudi povečuje stopnjo kohezivnosti tima. Organizacija: Študija ponuja novo lestvico za merjenje percepcije kakovosti MČV.Opozarja trenerje na nujnost zavedanja pomembnosti zaupanja, ki ga uživajo med športniki, saj je to generator tako zaupanja med samimi športniki kot tudi kohezivnosti. Družba: Študija poudarja pomen medosebnih odnosov in pojasnjuje, kako ljudje svoje zaupanje pretvarjamo v občutek boljše povezanosti s sodelavci. Originalnost: Nova lestvica za merjenje percepcije kakovosti dela z ljudmi pri delu.Prva raziskava odnosa kakovosti MČV, dveh timskih relacij zaupanja in kohezivnosti športne ekipe. Omejitve/nadaljnje raziskovanje: Uporaba subjektivnih podatkov in njihovo zbiranje v samo eni časovni točki. Priporočamo nadaljnje raziskave med športnimi klubi skozi daljše časovno obdobje, v različnih okoljih in v različnih športnih panogah. Research Question (RQ):What role do the trust in teammates and trust in coach have and how strong do they influence the cohesiveness of a sport team? Purpose: The aim is to contribute to the theory of human resource management by explaining the relationships between the perception of the HRM quality, trust in co-workers and superiors, and team cohesiveness in the context of sport team. The main goal is to develop a model based on theory and test its validity in practice. Method: The model was tested on data collected from 559 athletes from 73 basketball clubs by structural equation modelling and Sobel's test of mediation. Results: Athletes’ trust in the coach and in the teammates has direct positive effect on the team cohesiveness. The perception of the HRM quality has a strong direct positive effect on trust in the coach, but does not directly affect cohesiveness or trust in teammates. Nevertheless, the positive effect of the HRM perception indirectly spills over through the athletes’ trust in coach on their trust in teammates, and indirectly also increases the team cohesiveness. Organization: The article provides a new scale for measuring the perception of HRM quality. It reminds coaches of the importance of athletes’ trust in coach, as it stimulates trust among athletes and cohesiveness. Society: The study emphasizes the importance of interpersonal relationships and explains how people turn their trust into a sense of better connection with co-workers. Originality: A new scale for measuring the perception of the HRM quality. It is the first study of relationships between the quality of HRM, two trust relations and team cohesiveness within sport team. Limitations / further research: Use of subjective data and their collection in only one time point. We recommend further research between sports clubs over a longer period of time, in different environments and in different sports.

Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): Katere so ključne strateške odločitve, o katerih odločajo vodstva športnih klubov in katere strateške alternative so jim na voljo? Namen: Namen prispevka je pomagati vodstvom neprofitnih športnih klubov pri identifikaciji ključnih strateških dilem in strateških alternativ, ki so na voljo tem organizacijam.

Drawing on achievement goal theory and job design frameworks, this study explores how certain antecedents combine in configurations to trigger knowledge hiding behavior among project teammates. We, therefore, adopted a configurational approach and performed fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to a data set of 292 employees nested into 10 Chinese medium-sized firms. This inductive analytic approach enabled us to explore configurations of conditions of different levels of antecedents. Results identified four equifinal configurations of antecedents leading to knowledge hiding in project teams, in addition to six different configurations restraining this behavior, generating propositions to be tested by future research in a deductive manner. Our study may guide firms to better counteract and manage knowledge hiding behavior in teams by suggesting different pathways and solutions that can minimize knowledge hiding behavior among project team members.
