The study documents the emergence and influence of different stakeholders (and the relationships between them). The research result suggests that company management and project investors (in this case involving the State as minority owner and regulator and a Canadian company as the majority owner) need to be aware of the objectives of a range of stakeholders including the general public, environmental campaigners and cultural agencies. They should identify shared stakeholder objectives and take these objectives into account when assessing the prospects of a mining project. Ultimately, these findings could be a lesson in political conduct for stakeholders involved in similar projects in other East European countries.","PeriodicalId":45202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of East European Management Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87829833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our paper investigates how the participants perceive the effectiveness of particular FET methods based on an empirical study of 611 respondents from the millennial generation. The investigated sample consists of respondents employed at organisations operating in the Czech Republic. The results reveal that organisations are still regularly using certain traditional methods that do not correspond to the preferences of new employees (millennials) so are perceived as ineffective. The results should be useful for organisations seeking to adopt HRM policy and practice, particularly FET for the changes in the generation of employees.","PeriodicalId":45202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of East European Management Studies","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73552179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, an alternative post-bureaucratic public sector management approach has emerged advocating soft indirect controls to improve tax morale and horizontal trust. Evaluating these competing approaches using evidence from Eurobarometer surveys conducted in 2007, 2013 and 2019 in six Central and East European countries, the finding is that both approaches significantly prevent undeclared work. The outcome is a call for a new ‘hybrid’ public sector management approach combining the two.","PeriodicalId":45202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of East European Management Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88156188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data gathered from hotel customer-contact employees via a time-lagged survey design and their immediate supervisors in Russia were used to assess the aforesaid relationships through structural equation modelling. As predicted, servant leadership stimulates both WFE and FWE and boosts SRP, while it alleviates PLE. Consistent with the study prediction, WFE partly mediates the linkage between servant leadership and SRP. As hypothesized, FWE partly mediates the relationship between servant leadership and PLE. The rest of the linkages are not supported by the empirical data.","PeriodicalId":45202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of East European Management Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84625434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"How Companies Should Manage Their Human Resources to Respond to the Disruptive Innovation Brought About by the Sharing Economy","authors":"L. Turulja, Elma Delalic","doi":"10.5771/0949-6181-2021-4-738","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5771/0949-6181-2021-4-738","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, the sharing economy has become a new buzzword, providing various business opportunities and challenges to conventional businesses. It is characterized by the transformation of conventional business sectors and many companies are already facing the pressure of adapting their operations to the changing conditions. Human resource management, especially when it comes to experts and knowledge workers, is among the affected business activities. In particular, due to the apparent high demand, this type of workforce has the opportunity to share services among many businesses. Therefore, human resource managers should tackle the issue of cultivating employee organizational identification to increase employee retention and achieve the desired performance. In this regard, this paper proposes a model that binds human resource management practices to employee organizational identification, innovative behaviour, knowledge sharing, and finally, employee job performance. The model is estimated using the survey method and structural equation modelling technique for data analysis. The results imply that selective recruiting, participation in decision-making, and rewarding contribute to employees' organizational identification, while training does not directly affect it. The findings, therefore, indicate that adequate human resource management practices, mainly through the simultaneous impact of the critical capabilities examined by this model, can serve as a foundation for business success in the sharing economy.","PeriodicalId":45202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of East European Management Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89616610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
