A mixed-methods approach was employed, which involved interviews with stakeholders, staff members, and HR managers, analyzing documents, administering questionnaires, and conducting interviews.\u0000 The findings demonstrated that the Ministry of Culture recognized the significance of sustainability and implemented measures to foster work-life balance, enhance diversity and inclusion, provide opportunities for professional growth, and establish transparent governance and accountability procedures. These activities have positive impacts on the efficiency of the organization, as well as on employee engagement and satisfaction. The study emphasizes integrating sustainability principles into human resource management (HRM) practices and aligning HR strategy with sustainable development objectives.\u0000 Furthermore, the study provides details regarding strategies and programs to improve sustainability in HRM. The study’s distinctiveness lay in its focus on the Ministry of Culture, thereby augmenting the existing body of research on sustainability in HRM. The objective is to encourage the implementation of similar strategies in other companies by educating decision-makers, HR professionals, and organizational executives about the benefits of sustainability initiatives.","PeriodicalId":117870,"journal":{"name":"WSB Journal of Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140526028","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 is because the earth is highly likely to become unviable if we do not pursue sustainability. So many are aware of this and see sustainability as an important and no doubt long-term megatrend that affects us all. Businesses are not standing on the sidelines either, although it must be acknowledged that sustainability and economics do not always go hand in hand; however, projects with various practical sustainability benefits can be found. Unfortunately, sustainability is sometimes perceived as a topic that can be exploited in marketing in the form of “greenwashing.” This article addresses the challenges of green marketing communication, and examples from the Czech Republic are presented. Questionnaires were conducted to analyze and evaluate consumers’ attitudes and buying behavior toward sustainable products in the Czech Republic.","PeriodicalId":117870,"journal":{"name":"WSB Journal of Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140523553","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}

Reviewing the scientific literature, diverse definitions of functional food try to define its meaning precisely. The food is labeled “functional” when it fulfills basic nutritional needs and positively influences health, diminishing the risk of specific diseases and enhancing overall vitality. Considering that food expenses constitute a substantial portion of household budgets, a significant economic dimension exists when planning an individual’s diet. The assortment of functional foods is constantly evolving, prompting modern consumers to analyze their dietary choices more rigorously than ever before. This surge in interest has evoked the attention of researchers, manufacturers, and consumers. However, a comprehensive analysis of Croatia’s consumer behavior and functional foods must still be available. The present study builds upon the theory of planned behavior, a framework well-fitted for social research and exceptionally skilled at investigating the multiple factors pointing to consumer decisions. Drawing insights from empirical research conducted in Croatia, a robust correlation was established through linear regression between attitudes, subjective norms, concern for personal health, and the intent to purchase functional foods.","PeriodicalId":117870,"journal":{"name":"WSB Journal of Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140525582","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}

Today, leadership focuses on the behaviour of leaders during organizational change and processes related to creating a vision for the future, as well as involving employees in undergoing transformations. Thus, leadership development is a key factor in the success of modern businesses. The twenty-first-century leader must analyse a rapidly changing reality, respond to unexpected events and recognize the benefits they generate. He or she should be characterized not only by flexibility but also by empathy towards his or her employees, provide safe working conditions and build solidarity within a team. The article presents the concept and definition of leadership, which are evolving when an organization’s environment changes. The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the role of a strong leader has become more important. The pandemic has become a test for leaders around the world. The aim of the discussion is to answer the question about leadership competencies during and after the crisis and explain how organizations should support the leaders of today’s organizations to ensure their market success in the event of future crises. The paper examines the role of leadership in business management, taking into account the challenges and problems caused by COVID-19. The study aims to answer questions about similarities and differences in work organization during the pandemic, to diagnose problems in managing a company in a situation of security threat to employees and an organization, and to compare the behaviour of leaders in managing teams of employees. It concludes by proposing solutions for leaders in the event of future crises.","PeriodicalId":117870,"journal":{"name":"WSB Journal of Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122888043","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}

Behaviour of employees, as well as their response to risks, has a great impact on problem occurrence, while among the risk factors that can be influenced are those on the inside of the enterprise, one of the crucial ones being the management of behavioural aspects of quality. The core of the article is its empirical research, i.e. the analysis of findings from a questionnaire, the objective of which was to identify the indicators that enterprises use to measure behavioural aspects of quality, and thus prevent potential risks in quality management. When evaluating the research results, we used methods of testing statistical hypotheses, and methods of descriptive statistics and data visualisation. The statistical program SPSS, version 25, was used to evaluate the collected data, while in testing the formulated hypotheses, the level of significance was determined at 0.05. Based on the research findings, we may claim that Slovak small and medium enterprises (SMEs) tend to track financial rather than behavioural indicators. It was also revealed that the more developed the behavioural component of an employee profile, the more frequently the behavioural indicators are tracked in the given enterprise. Among the most tracked indicators are service profitability, the enterprise’s profit rate of growth, the behaviour of employees in the workplace and the productivity of labour from a timeframe point of view.","PeriodicalId":117870,"journal":{"name":"WSB Journal of Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129037338","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}
