The way control is carried out, using tools such as HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, and similar is not sufficient to adequately prevent or control accidents with serious consequences in the process industry. The need to analyze the causes of the causes themselves, with special emphasis on the impact of organizational factors has arisen. This research results in the development of an original, reliable, and valid measuring instrument for assessing organizational factors important for risk assessment methodologies in working with pressure equipment. The initial instrument was designed based on the previous research and then checked by statistical analysis, using the Kaiser-Meyerto-Olkin test, exploratory factor, and reliability analysis. The proposed instrument has reduced 71 to 48 dimensions, describing 10 organizational factors important for risk management of pressure equipment. Providing a valid and reliable measurement instrument is essential for a proactive approach, which enables managers employed in the organization to mitigate the risks of pressure equipment operation, and prevent accidents. The proposal of further research is the application of confirmatory factor analysis or/and structural equation modeling on data collected.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88455186","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}

Different industries and sectors strive to maintain the functioning of their business and stimulate companies to increasingly rely on the potential and power of digital technologies and network communications. In the trade sector, there was raising awareness about the importance of digitization and leveraging digital commerce as a strategic investment and competitive advantage. More and more trade companies started looking at digital channels not as an addition to their physical location but as a strategic source of long-term, sustained growth, which proved to be a significant boost for e-commerce all over the world. In this paper, B2B and B2C e-commerce segments are analyzed including current trends and dynamics, management of new business models, and expected implications of the latest digital technology innovations. Investments in new digital technologies tools and solutions in e-commerce had been driven by the need for frictionless shopping, personalization, and improved operational efficiency required by new-age customers. Experiences of the Serbian economy in e-commerce transactions are analyzed as well.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"204 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72923705","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 study aims to determine the entrepreneurial self-efficiency and inclination of entrepreneurs towards innovation and creativity of entrepreneurs. The research aims to achieve results that reveal the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and the work behavior of employees. The study tested 360 individuals - subordinates in small and medium enterprises operating in the United States - California, Serbia - Vojvodina, and Belgrade, and Bosnia and Herzegovina - Republika Srpska. Based on the obtained results, a model was made and hypotheses were tested. It was a big problem to harmonize the results of research from these three regions. Careful processing of the data resulted from these results. The results obtained have a significant effect on innovative entrepreneurship, which again aims to determine whether there is entrepreneurial leadership and in what form. The research found that innovative entrepreneurs mediate between entrepreneurial leadership and the innovative behavior of associates. The results obtained in this study confirm the hypothesis that entrepreneurial self-efficiency has an adequate effect on the connection between entrepreneurial leadership and the innovative behavior of employees in the companies in which they work. The results of this research work are intended to achieve the originality of entrepreneurship and small and medium enterprises dealing with innovation and a challenging business environment. According to the findings of numerous authors who deal with this issue, this research is not the first attempt to develop innovative behavior of employees in entrepreneurial small and medium enterprises, but it certainly has a great impact on increasing the effectiveness of entrepreneurial leadership on innovative behavior.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"344 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77781866","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}

Technology audit is one significant example of audits being conducted in Pakistan. In this research, the benefits of the technology audit in the training institutes of Pakistan and its relationship with various technology capabilities are examined. The literature review developed a framework and revealed the positive and significant relationship of technology audit with specific technology capabilities. The top government sector organizations, such as WAPDA Engineering Academy, Faisalabad, and Regional Training Centre (Lahore & Faisalabad) were approached for responses to the questionnaire. For this study, a survey research methodology was adopted in the form of a questionnaire. 205 valid responses were used to analyse the data using Reliability analysis, Normality Tests, Correlation Matrix and Regression Analysis. The results revealed the potential benefits of technology audit, such as a better technology environment; improved knowledge about competitors; improved innovation; better quality and research; and improved technology creation, acquisition, exploitation, and protection. The tested and verified model filled to void in the literature of demonstrating the benefits of technology audit, and how this would allow the training institutes to identify the technical shortcomings in their organization leading to better technology capabilities. Moreover, as a practical contribution, macro and micro-level recommendations are made, supporting training institutes to improve overall organisation technology capabilities.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74830145","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}

In the modern consideration of quality, the quality of process results, today is defined by the number of decibels (dB), according to the discovery of the genius Japanese scientist Genichi Taguchi (1924 - 2012), pursuant to the Robust Technology Development Method. and standard ratio (S/N). Modern engineering considers the quality of process results, measuring instruments, and completing processes according to their quality characteristics (continuous, attributive). More often, continuous characteristics that can be more precisely defined are considered, while attribute characteristics can only be estimated. In this paper, four different types of process result quality with one attributive input variable are considered. After the calculations, the following results were achieved: in two classes with one type of error, poor quality results were obtained - 28.52, in two classes with two types of errors, the results obtained that the separation of A2 is better than A1 due to the difference of 7,532 dB, in the (S/N) ratio of the chemical reaction without side effects, the required results were obtained, in the methods of the ratio of the reaction rate of a chemical reaction with the side reactions, good quality results of 17.40 dB were obtained.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78292296","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}

The effects of four control variables: gender, age, education level, and previous entrepreneurial experience were also examined. Freelancers best perceive support for an entrepreneurial venture as well as their proactivity. Entrepreneurial intentions were assessed as the worst. The greatest impact on the observed dimensions occurs in the division of the sample into freelancers who have/do not have previous experience in entrepreneurship. As for the other control variables, statistically significant differences occur in only three other cases: dimensions RT - Risk-taking and PBC - Perceived behavioral control on the side of male freelancers, and dimension IN - Innovativeness on the side of younger freelancers. A comparison was made with a similar study, where the respondents were conventional employees. In general, freelancers have greater entrepreneurial intentions than conventional employees. Freelancers are more consistent in terms of entrepreneurial intentions: there are no differences in these intentions if the sample is divided according to the gender and age of freelancers. These results are discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":31704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75614336","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}
