The data used for this research spans over a period of 29 years, from 1990 right after the fall of the communist regime, to 2019 when Romania is already a Member of the European Union. The Romanian roads infrastructure is analysed according to its classification and compared with infrastructure from other European countries. The development of the Romanian transportation infrastructure in the selected timeframe was done in a complicated political environment with constant threat from corruption in all Public Authorities. The paper also aimed to establish the influence of road infrastructure over the economic development and international trade of goods and services of Romania. The econometric analysis was performed using Ordinary Least Squares method and studied the correlation between road length, as independent variable and GDP per capita, export and import of goods and services of Romania, as dependent variables. Based on empirical analysis, we found that Romanian road infrastructure is a significant determining factor for the development of the country’s economy, as well as for international trade, thus, its importance is undeniable and efforts should be made in order for it to flourish. Policy implications are also included, as well as suggestions for strategic investments in a national motorway network that would connect the Black Sea to the European Markets. Effects of such investments would ripple through the entire Romanian economy.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72796290","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 fulfilling this prerogative, local authorities are organising, providing and delivering public services to ensure a good environment for every citizen in the community. Recent findings in neuroeconomics have shown that in order to provide a quality public service, the people involved in this process must themselves feel safe and comfortable in their working environment. In this regard, we considered it necessary to analyse the level of satisfaction of employees in local public administration in Romania – as a member state of the European Union, and the Republic of Moldova as a post-Soviet state taking steps to join the big European family. Based on the premise of the latest findings in the field of neuroeconomics, we considered it appropriate to highlight in this research the correlations between public service quality management and the level of employee satisfaction. In this context, we identified the aspects that need to be improved at the level of local public administrations in order to ensure quality services and employees involved in carrying out in good faith all their functional tasks, in an environment conducive to making the right decisions. The present research is a quantitative research in which we analyse the perception of public service providers in a comparative form. The findings can form the basis for further research on the correlations between the quality management of services provided by public administrations in general.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82291971","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}

{"title":"INFLUENCE OF THE WINE SECTOR ON TOURISM DEVELOPMENT","authors":"Oleg Petelca, Ciprian-Constantin Pătrăuceanu, Iurie Beșliu, V. Garbuz","doi":"10.47535/1991auoes31(1)009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47535/1991auoes31(1)009","url":null,"abstract":"Wine tourism is the priority form of tourism for a series of countries. It must be integrated and adapted to the tourist market necessities worldwide, to increase the number of tourists. Investigations carried out in the field of wine tourism should be integrated with those conducted globally. At the same time, it is necessary to integrate the two industries: wine and tourism. Wine production and tourism are essentially on opposite ends of the industrial spectrum, while the characteristics of each activity are different from a microeconomic perspective. On one end, wine production is a primary and partially secondary activity based on industry, characterised by being dependent on supply prices and by producing a standardised and homogeneous product, relying on capital increase to create wealth. At the other end of the industrial spectrum, tourism is a services industry characterised as a heterogeneous service determined by demand, by obtaining prices, maximising profit, and relying on profits to create wealth. Wine tourism may generate substantial earnings, thus contributing to the development of regions and making the labour market and the companies conducting their activities in this sector more dynamic. By allotting various funds, one may increase wine quality and readjust the supply of tourist services, thus determining an increase in location popularity and incomes, implicitly. This paper approaches the interaction between wine tourism and wine production. It is due to the fact that wine tourism development is in the charge of wine producers, most often small and medium enterprises. Hence, the increase in wine quality is one of the challenges for the interested parties in wine enterprise development. The article aims to determine the influence of the wine sector on the development of tourism in the world’s leading countries in wine production. In order to achieve the objective, the statistical data for the period 2016-2021 regarding the evolution of wine production in 22 countries with the highest volume of wine production were analyzed. Travel and tourism competitiveness index and International tourist arrivals were analyzed for the same 22 countries. The results of the research showed that the countries with the highest volume of wine production have the highest International tourism inbound receipts. The countries leading the world in wine production such as Italy, Spain, France, USA among the top 5 countries with the largest International tourist arrivals.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80702957","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}

Enterprises provide CVT to address the continuing structural changes in the labour market that require development and update of the technical skills, abilities, attitudes and capacities of the employers. EUROSTAT and Romania National Institute of Statistics data were analyses to observe for the Romanian labour market the global participation rate in CVT courses, the distribution of enterprises by the economic activities, the average CVT courses length of time, the CVT’s participant employer’s average cost, the type of courses and the skills targeted. The following results of the descriptive analysis were found of the latest data, the 2010 – 2015 time period : the CVT’s courses global participation rate increased by 3.5 % in 2015 compared to 2010; by the distribution of economic activities of the enterprises, financial and insurance, electricity, gas, steam supply, and information and communication activities registered the highest CVT rates, where transportation, storage and accommodation and food service activities registered the lowest rate; information and communication, electricity, gas, steam supply and mining and quarrying activities per participant employee had the highest hourly CVT courses cost. The recommendation is to increase the participation rate in CVT courses, to qualify employees according to the needs of the enterprise to perform and adapt among the multiple and permanent changes in the global economy. Thus, the employee could be apt to embrace the change and be flexible on the labour market and the employer could be able to manage the new technologies requirement for the prosperity of the individual and of the company.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87470592","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}

Still, it is especially true for agriculture, as more efficient farming is becoming increasingly important to provide the population with adequate food.\u0000\u0000The study examines the performance of Hungarian agricultural companies in Romania. There were selected a total of 5,390 companies for the analysis database, of which 3,789 were from Romania and 1,601 from Hungary. In the performance analysis, the efficiency of companies was examined between 2018 and 2020 using the Data Envelopment Analysis method.\u0000\u0000Based on the results, it can be concluded that Romanian agricultural companies operate with statistically significantly lower efficiency. However, it can also be seen that the average efficiency of businesses is very low considering both countries.\u0000\u0000Low performance is also observed considering the averages of the sub-sector efficiency coefficients. There is not a single year in which the average efficiency coefficient in any sector exceeds 50%. On the other hand, the Oilseed and Grain Farming sub-sector analysis shows that the proportion of companies with an efficiency coefficient below 50% is very high, especially in Romania. Similar findings can be made for the Poultry and Egg Production subsector.\u0000\u0000Further research is needed to explore the causes of low efficiencies of agriculture companies more accurately.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85616842","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}

We first define the definitions and importance of learning in a person’s life. We then turn to the definitions of motivation and the historical background and evolution of adult learning. We also point out some big events that helped reaching the today’s form of adult learning. Moreover, the motivation of adult learning as a function of different motivational theories is presented. In the second half of the study, an initial research is focusing on the motivation of adult learning. The subjects of our research are young adults who are studying at the Master’s programme in Management and Organisation at the Faculty of Economics, University of Debrecen. Our questionnaire was filled by 27 students, as only a small sample was available during the pandemic time. By the results, we want to get answers to which different factors motivate examined young adults in studying. According to the results, these students are mostly motivated by the fact that they can largely shape their own learning effectiveness and external factors do not affect this that much. Moreover, they perceive that they have control over their learning performance, which has a great influence on their learning motivation. With the results, we want to give an idea of how the learning motivation of the students can be characterized to both lecturers and human resource professionals working in the private sector. We intend to expand the research to a larger sample in the future.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84312110","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 results obtained are illustrated with figures and tables.\u0000\u0000It is clear from the research that professionals, footballers and supporters share the same view, as the economic situation caused by the epidemic means that club teams have to rely much more on data-driven player monitoring. It’s a good idea to invest in players instead of buying overvalued football players. As described in our article, it is not possible to predict the outcome of a match with traditional statistical indicators (goal shots, corners, possession of the ball, etc.). This is because these statistics do not return an accurate picture of a match. These numbers are not suitable for drawing conclusions for a match.

In this regard, there were analyzed annual reports elaborated by the companies whose securities are traded on the Bucharest Stock Exchange and carry out their activity in the fields with impact on the environment and climate, respectively, the extractive industry and the energy-producing industry. We extracted financial and non-financial information from the annual reports regarding the companies’ actions to protect the environment, maintain sustainability, reduce pollution, and develop an ecological lifestyle. As a result of the research, we identified the differences and similarities in presenting information in the annual financial reporting before (2017-2018 period) and after the end of the European Green Deal (2019-2020).
