To do so they need help from their visitors and from other institutions, they need to exchange and remix information in order to create relevance and innovation, and also they need money for various investments. Updating museums is often thought of in a commercial manner, inspired by commercial organizations that use marketing and entertainment in order to increase their profit or competitiveness. This entrepreneurial thinking can make museums to be self-sufficient and to avoid collaboration. The collaboration between museums and other institutions (commercial, cultural, nongovernment, publishing) or with the general public is thus neglected and also the need for a personal relation and a personalized experience for the visitor. The relationship approach is connected with the notion of reciprocation which, according with sociologists, is central to the well-being of any society. Even though reciprocation isn’t always equal or fair, both economic entrepreneurs and members of the publishing industry have social preoccupations, tied to the idea of awareness. Museums and other cultural institutions, due to bureaucracy, are insufficiently interested in the idea of reciprocity witch, in museum studies terms, could also be called participation and it is associated with the idea of awareness.Museum communication can be seen as a kaleidoscope combining four discursive approaches: promotion (marketing), awareness (NGO-s), information (journalism), education (more or less institutionalized and open to the new).","PeriodicalId":412284,"journal":{"name":"12th LUMEN International Scientific Conference Rethinking Social Action.

This is the network effect that organizations must use to reach their goals, and the destinations management organizations are also included in finding better solutions for promoting, communicating and marketing the desired place. This online presence of billions of people can be used both in organizational communication activities and in other areas, for research or facilitating professional activities. In this light, the research objective is to identify the Internet usage from the managerial point of view, i.e., the destination branding management of websites. The research study will try to specify and analyse the main features of destinations websites or the principal dimensions of their online identity, by applying a content analysis method scheme on 10 selected destination websites. Findings from the study suggest that the Web 1.0 paradigm is still being used or promoted, rather than the participatory Web 2.0, that nowadays is associated with a large range of tools and software used for viewing and developing the websites, allowing the users to interact directly with any web content in order to obtain custom rewards. Changes are taken into consideration by the destinations management organizations in terms of transmitting the information with greater visibility to targeted audiences. The online environment is, therefore, in favour of any organization that wants to be connected to this world of technology and professionalism.","PeriodicalId":412284,"journal":{"name":"12th LUMEN International Scientific Conference Rethinking Social Action.

Due to the importance and extensiveness of the employee deviant behavior problem, it is found denotative to examine the antecedents contributing to the occurrence of employee deviance in organizations. In the light of the previous literature study, several factors that have been associated with employee deviance have been reviewed and it was seen that workplace ethics was examined as a contextual variable influencing such behaviors in the organizations. Thus, in the current study, it was aimed to evaluate the impacts of existence of ethical codes and ethical climate on employees’ deviant behaviors within the organization. A quantitative survey was performed among 230 employees in public and private organizations in various sectors, such as education, health, insurance, banking, telecommunication, and retailing. The data obtained from the research were evaluated with statistical programme and the findings revealed that all five dimensions of ethical climate had significant impacts on organizational deviance. The instrumental and independence dimensions had positive impacts on organizational deviance, whereas caring, law and codes and rules dimensions had negative impacts on such behaviors. Further, it was reported that the perceived existence of organizational code of conduct had significant negative impact on organizational deviance. The findings of the research were evaluated and discussed with the implications of the previous empirical findings and both conceptual and practical suggestions were provided for the future studies.","PeriodicalId":412284,"journal":{"name":"12th LUMEN International Scientific Conference Rethinking Social Action.

Based on the literature in the field of youth entrepreneurship and the theory of planned behaviour, the research considers attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control towards entrepreneurship as students’ antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions and exposure to entrepreneurial models, work experience and intuition of trigger events as entrepreneurial experiences. In this context, the paper findings about entrepreneurial intentions of a group of 200 undergraduate students in the first year of study from the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Oradea, Romania, before access to formal entrepreneurship education or/and other entrepreneurial education opportunities. The research tests according with theory of planned behavior if there is a positive correlation between students’ antecedents, respectivelly experiences and entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, the research tests whether there is any link between gender, the residential environment (urban, rural), the family origin and the entrepreneurial intentions of the students. The research results allow university to design entrepreneurial educational offer (curricula, programs, extra-curricular activities, practice-based learning etc.) in order to compensate initially perceived lack of support and expose students to experiences that stimulate their entrepreneurial intentions. Also, the research findings provide managerial implications and policy recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and programs. Future research steps seek hypothesis retesting for Economics students after access to entrepreneurship education and address other groups of students from non-economic fields of study where, traditionally, the offer of entrepreneurial education is poor or non-existent.","PeriodicalId":412284,"journal":{"name":"12th LUMEN International Scientific Conference Rethinking Social Action.

The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate the efficiency of training in the circuit in the development of this motor quality. The sample within the research comprised 30 women aged 25-35 and who practiced 3 practices per week for 6 months. The independent variable included circuits for beginners (30” workout - 30” pause), circuits for middle level (45” workout - 30” pause) and circuits for advanced (50” workout - 30” pause). The tests applied concerned the strength and resistance of abdominal muscles, of the back, of the legs and of the arms. Findings. In the test for the strength and resistance of abdominal muscles, the values of the average and of standard deviation were 13.8 ±1.52 initially and 15.2 ±1.08 finally; concerning the strength and resistance of the back muscles, the values increased from 21.46 ±1.684 initially to 23.53 ±1.641 finally; in the strength and muscles of the legs, the values ranged between 14.86 ±1.767 initially and 16.80 ±1.473; in the strength and muscles of the arms, the values recorded an increase from 14.40±0.985 initially to 16.26 ±0.961 finally. The present research demonstrated that the use of circuit workout can improve the motor qualities of strength and it can also improve the motor qualities of strength and resistance, which confirms the purpose of the paper.","PeriodicalId":412284,"journal":{"name":"12th LUMEN International Scientific Conference Rethinking Social Action.
