Our focus will mainly be the PPPs in the energy sector. Public-private partnerships contracts have experienced a significant increase in the last decades in Albania. They have had a great impact on public finances of the country, this is why they have often been “attacked” for the negative impact that they might have on the actual and especially the future of the country. We will work to make a comparative analysis of the cost and benefits that Albania has had from signing these contracts. We will also work to analyze the management of these public-private partnerships during the pandemics, which will be helpful to reveal the possible difficulties that the government might have in managing them. Something that has inspired us to make a deeper analysis of them is related to the energy crises that the country has experienced in the last years. We want to “dig” deeper in order to see if these PPPs are really worth it or not. Is it worth or it brings a burden for the actual and future generations of Albania?","PeriodicalId":104718,"journal":{"name":"Corporate governance: Fundamental and challenging issues in scholarly research","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126730222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"High performance work practices and employees well-being: The role of work intensification and self-efficacy","authors":"Bashar Al-Majali, Mohammad A. Ta’Amnha","doi":"10.22495/cgfcisrp19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22495/cgfcisrp19","url":null,"abstract":"The well-being of healthcare workers is a major concern for healthcare organizations due to their significant impacts on performance and productivity (Ta‘Amnha, Samawi, Bwaliez, & Magableh, 2021). Therefore, healthcare organizations employ various strategies and practices to create and maintain healthy and positive working environments for their workers. In this study, our focus was on the impact of high-performance work practices (HPWPs) on the healthcare workers‘ health and well-being. HPWPs are a collection of several interdependent human resource (HR) practices that are employed to enhance the performance of organizations. Even though there is no consensus pertaining to the components of the HPWPs framework, typically it integrates job autonomy, team working, staff training, performance management, supportive leadership, and other capability-enhancing practices. HPWPs boost positive job attitudes and behaviors in organizations that therefore lead to positive organizational outcomes. However, some research revealed that HPWPs increase the work intensification among International Online Conference (November 25, 2021) ―CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: FUNDAMENTAL AND CHALLENGING ISSUES IN SCHOLARLY RESEARCH‖ 114 workers. This is because HPWPs require exerting intense effort from employees that therefore leave them unable sometimes to perform all their jobs‘ requirements effectively. This standpoint receives very limited attention in the literature; therefore this research aims to contribute to filling this gap by examining whether the HPWPs increase employees‘ feeling of work intensification and whether this situation leads to destructive consequences on the employees‘ health and well-being. In addition to the organizational resources, this study focuses also on the role of personal resources (i.e., self-efficacy) on the employees‘ health and well-being. Self-efficacy refers to the individual believing that he or she is able to perform their tasks effectively (Bandura, 1997). We proposed that employees with a high level of self-efficacy are more likely to meet their jobs requirements more effectively and experience less work intensification (Ta‘Amnha, Bwaliez, & Magableh, 2021). We assumed that both organizational resources and personal resources work hand in hand in improving employees‘ experiences. Therefore, we employ two theories to underpin this research and interpret its results including job demand resource model (JD-R model) (Bakker, Demerouti, & Euwema, 2005), and behavioral plasticity theory (Pierce, Gardner, Dunham, & Cummings, 1993). The former assumes that every job has its specific risk factors associated with job stress or burnout. These factors are grouped into two categories namely; job demands and job resources that institute a holistic model that can be adopted to explain several occupational settings regardless of the associated demands and resources. Job demands refer ―to those physical, social, or organizational aspects of the job tha","PeriodicalId":104718,"journal":{"name":"Corporate governance: Fundamental and challenging issues in scholarly research","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115355592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cryptocurrencies have experienced tremendous changes in the last years, and have often been the subject of debates. Albania is one of the countries in which seems really difficult to have the opportunity of using cryptocurrencies as a payment tool, or as an investment alternative. Throughout this investigation, we will treat some of the main difficulties and challenges of the cryptocurrency market in Albania. As the study reveals, it seems that it has not been easy for Albanian investors to use cryptocurrency as an investment alternative, or use cryptocurrency as a payment tool. Anyway, what we can emphasize is the fact that we can see some positive steps in this direction. Even though it seems a slow process, the removal of some legal restrictions related to cryptocurrencies reflects the “break” of the “walls” that were serving as a barrier for them in Albania. Only the future can show this, so the only thing that we can do is to wait for it","PeriodicalId":104718,"journal":{"name":"Corporate governance: Fundamental and challenging issues in scholarly research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131264798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This accountability is characterised as being of public interest, and the efficacy of the statutory accounts model derived from the chosen business plan is consequently reduced. Based upon this hypothesis, the present work proposes an evaluation of the mandatory accounting regulations for Italian state-owned enterprises via an evaluation of compliance with the OECD guidelines of November 2015 regarding “disclosure and transparency”. Although the work substantially evidences compliance with the majority of OECD recommendations, it also highlights a concentration of non-compliance in areas regarding company performance statements","PeriodicalId":104718,"journal":{"name":"Corporate governance: Fundamental and challenging issues in scholarly research","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131605456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
