Therefore, the objectives of the study are: to identify the characteristics and significance of the organizational climate; diagnosing the types of organizational climate and the factors affecting it. To present organizational climate models. The descriptive method was used to identify the characteristics, significance, types and models of the organizational climate. The findings of the study indicated: that the organizational climate is a mediator between job requirements and the needs of the individual and that job satisfaction is part of the organizational climate. The importance of the organizational climate to produce and demonstrate the organization's ability to achieve its goals is demonstrated. The control and control to properly direct the elements of the organizational climate enable the organization's management to motivate individuals and push them towards hard work.

Stoyanova","doi":"10.47696/adved.2020111","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47696/adved.2020111","url":null,"abstract":"The planning of social services in Bulgaria is carried out in a complex normative and institutional environment, which is constantly changing. Reform of the process of planning social services in the direction of their decentralization is underway, but for many reasons the reform is slowing down. This complicates the process of identifying social problems and finding solutions to overcome them, especially at regional and local level. The institutional analysis of the social services system clarifies the main (formal and informal) participants in the process of planning and implementation of social services and their motives and possibilities for coordination. The analysis makes it possible to understand how the social services sector functions, what incentives it creates and how individual institutions influence people's behavior and, consequently, the wealth of society. The aim of the paper is to clarify the planning environment of social services in Bulgaria and to outline the institutional framework of planning and the internal interrelationships. The study is based on the methodological individualism approach, which seeks explanations in social knowledge based on individuals and their properties, motives, goals and beliefs. The object of analysis are the desires (plans) of the economic agents, which at a certain moment are coordinated and thus transactions are carried out. Some incentives have been clarified, which motivate them to act in a certain way under conditions of limited access to resources (material, human and financial). Special emphasis is placed on transaction costs, which slow down the operation of the system and make it difficult to achieve its goals. Aspects of cooperation in the development of a map of social services and in the coordination of social service providers are discussed. Informal relations, such as customs, culture and attitudes of local communities, remain outside the model. The institutional analysis approach can be used in both research and training of public sector employees in clarifying the objectives, principles and scope of various aspects of the social services system.","PeriodicalId":112620,"journal":{"name":"IJASOS- International E-journal of Advances in Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123153075","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}

On the one hand, it is necessary to comply with standard normative and methodological regulations related to the preparation of a planning document. On the other hand, the dynamics of social needs resulting from changes in the environment require greater agile approach and proactivity of social policies and the documents regulating them. All this requires a fundamentally new approach to the creation and subsequent implementation of strategies for social services development. The research problem of the study is the strategies for social services development in the Republic of Bulgaria at regional level and the research area is the approach to their creation. The main research thesis is that the application of an iterative approach to strategic planning of social services in the public sector is a tool for proactive policy, oriented to dynamically changing social needs in response to changes in the environment. The iterative approach presents strategic planning process as separate steps that are constantly repeating, i.e. the approach is cyclical. This means that strategies for social services development, once established and consulted with stakeholders, are not finalized. They require active actions for their implementation, monitoring, updating, and reporting, which should be widely communicated not only at institutional, but also at sectoral and functional levels. The aim of the scientific research is to present a fundamentally new for the public sector and for the social sphere conceptual approach to social services strategic planning, which will allow for an agile application of proactive behaviour.","PeriodicalId":112620,"journal":{"name":"IJASOS- International E-journal of Advances in Social Sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133514398","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}

One of these problems is found in their attempt to use determiners, such as articles, quantifiers, adjectival possessive pronouns, and so forth. The most common reason of mistake, error and failure in appropriately learning and communicating in English as a second/foreign language is due to what is known as mother-tongue interference and negative transfer from one's native language, especially by L1 Arabic learners. The Arabic language has a structural system which, in many features, is different from that in English. Therefore, mistakes and errors occur when students refer back to their native language (Arabic) when communicating in the second/foreign language (English). The aim of this paper is to pinpoint the influence of Arabic mother-tongue interference and negative transfer from the students' first language on proper command of English, especially regarding the above mentioned structural features. This is done by illustrating how the differences between the Arabic and English languages in concern to the certain grammatical and structural features cause L1 Arabic learners of English as a second/foreign language to make repeatable mistakes and errors in English. Given the fact that determiners, articles, as well as prepositions, and other below mentioned structural features are one of the most frequent words used in the English language, this paper has, therefore, aimed to discuss such an important matter.","PeriodicalId":112620,"journal":{"name":"IJASOS- International E-journal of Advances in Social Sciences","volume":"95 1-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133139204","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}
