The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of SMEs on job creation in the WB6 countries (North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia). During the last two decades, the countries in the Western Balkans region have faced different economic challenges, including employment-related issues and the question of who is in fact the creator of new jobs in this region. The paper employs explanatory methodology, through analysis of the statistical data collected in the Enterprise Survey conducted by the World Bank Group. The data analyzed covers three periods, i.e., year 1 (2009), year 2 (2013), year 3 (2019). The surveys were administered to a representative sample of 5358 firms in the non-agricultural, formal, private sectors, including small, medium and large enterprises. The paper concludes that the most widespread type of business activity in the Wester Balkan countries are SMEs, which tend to employ more than large enterprises, with an average share of 45%-77%, by which they contribute more to new job creation, compared to large enterprises, and are indeed the ones reducing job scarcity and exhibiting a smaller share in job shrinkage. The implications arising from the paper are twofold, i.e., they can inspire both the academic and researcher circles to analyze even further the impact of SMEs, by including additional measuring indicators as well the policy makers to revise the policy of assisting SMEs in any means possible. The paper fills the gap in the existing literature dealing with the impact of SMEs on job creation in the WB region. The relevance of this research stands in fact that the study addresses the impact and relevance of SMEs’ job creation in countries known for their long transition period.

The article updates and broadens the existing body of knowledge on the creation and loss of jobs in Polish enterprises in 1996-2004. The author uses measures proposed by Davis (et al.) and a collection of data on the financial reporting of enterprises in the non-financial sector. He also calculates job creation and loss ratios. The study shows that average ratios for job creation and loss in the analyzed period ran at a relatively high level of 10.4 and 12.6 percent respectively. This indirectly shows that that the Polish labor market is relatively flexible and potential barriers only marginally apply to the creation and loss of jobs in enterprises. Moreover, the analysis shows that job flows are strictly related to economic growth. The research indicates that processes involving the creation and loss of jobs are characterized by considerable permanence. More than 80 percent of the jobs lost this year will not be recreated next year. On the other hand, in the case of job creation, only half the newly created jobs will be maintained next year.

Entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming a very relevant instrument in promoting economic growth in a country. Thus the role of globalization in promoting entrepreneurship in Malaysia is analyzed in this context. In this regard, universities as teaching and research units and according to their potential and capabilities play an important role in development, entrepreneurship and job creation. What affect does globalization have on an economy? Globalization of education and entrepreneurial studies has allowed efficient access to the scientific environment and culture of various countries. Given the ever-changing world in which we live, this paper aims to explain the importance of investigating educational and research activities of universities converging towards globalization and entrepreneurship.

Objective: The main objective of the research was to confirm the existence of a relationship between the investment outlays energy companies make and the number of workers they employ. The existence of this relationship would indicate the presence of a correlation between investment outlays and jobs created. Research Design & Methods: The objects of the research were energy companies operating in Poland divided into size classes (small, medium, large). To confirm the assumed research hypothesis, the rate of change of two quantities – capital expenditures and number of employees – was analysed in equivalent periods and taking into account the delay effect (t+1). The study of the relationship between quantities was done with correlation analysis. Linear regression analysis was used to simultaneously determine the level of interdependence of variables R2 and the Pearson coefficient. Findings: The results confirmed significant variation in the development over time of the two quantities, as well as their mutual relations divided into size classes of enterprises. The correlation analysis showed a low degree of interdependence in small and medium-sized enterprises and a high level in large ones. However, the negative direction of this interdependence in large enterprises was a surprise. Implications / Recommendations: The research results indicate that the high investment intensity in the energy sector results in an increase in the automation of manufacturing activities but does not necessarily involve changes in human resources. However, these relations may be differentiated by enterprise size classes. Contribution: The article contributes to the knowledge base on measures of enterprise development and the relationships between them. It could provide a methodological basis for conducting similar research in other industrial sectors.

Cel: Celem badań było potwierdzenie istnienia relacji pomiędzy nakładami inwestycyjnymi ponoszonymi przez przedsiębiorstwa energetyczne a liczbą osób w nich pracujących. Występowanie tej relacji wskazywałoby na istnienie korelacji pomiędzy nakładami inwestycyjnymi a tworzonymi następnie miejscami pracy. Metodyka badań: Przedmiotem badań były przedsiębiorstwa energetyczne funkcjonujące na terenie Polski w podziale na klasy wielkości (małe, średnie, duże). W celu potwierdzenia hipotezy badawczej dokonano analizy zmian dwóch wielkości (nakłady inwestycyjne, liczba pracujących), a także tempa ich zmian zarówno w okresach równoważnych, jak i z uwzględnieniem efektu opóźnienia (t+1). Badanie relacji pomiędzy wielkościami polegało na analizie korelacji. Wykorzystano analizę regresji liniowej, wyznaczając jednocześnie poziom współzależności zmiennych R2 oraz współczynnik Pearsona. Wyniki badań: Uzyskane wyniki potwierdziły znaczne zróżnicowanie kształtowania się w czasie badanych wielkości oraz ich wzajemnych relacji w podziale na klasy wielkości przedsiębiorstw. Przeprowadzona analiza korelacji wykazała niski stopień współzależności w przedsiębiorstwach małych i średnich, a także wysoki poziom w dużych. Zaskoczeniem był natomiast ujemny kierunek tej współzależności w przedsiębiorstwach dużych. Wnioski: Wyniki badań wskazują, że duża intensywność inwestycyjna w sektorze energetycznym skutkuje raczej wzrostem automatyzacji działań wytwórczych i nie musi wiązać się ze zmianami w potencjale osobowym, jednak relacje te mogą być zróżnicowane w podziale na klasy wielkości przedsiębiorstw. Wkład w rozwój dyscypliny: Artykuł wzbogaca nurt badań w zakresie mierników rozwoju przedsiębiorstwa oraz występujących pomiędzy nimi zależności. Może stanowić podstawę metodologiczną do prowadzenia podobnych badań w innych sektorach przemysłu.

U Republici Hrvatskoj su se 2003. godine otvorile zakonske mogućnosti za pružanje socijalne usluge smještaja za starije i teško bolesne osobe (do 20 korisnika) u obiteljskim domovima. Taj novi vid obiteljskog poduzetništva u djelatnosti socijalne skrbi, koji ranije nije postojao, od tada do danas kontinuirano bilježi rast ponude i potražnje. Anketnim istraživanjem na ukupnoj populaciji predstavnika obiteljskih domova u Hrvatskoj, sukcesivno u 2017., 2018. i 2019. godini, utvrđen je broj i teritorijalna rasprostranjenost aktivnih obiteljskih domova, kapaciteti i broj korisnika, raspon cijena, minimalni ukupni prihodi te broj i profili radnika koje zapošljavaju, uključujući angažirane članove obitelji i vanjske zaposlenike. Zahvaljujući nesaturiranoj i trajno rastućoj potražnji za uslugom smještaja, pokazalo se da je ponuda obiteljskih domova za starije i teško bolesne osobe prisutna u svim županijama te da je do 2019. godine narasla na 400 aktivnih obiteljskih domova i blizu 6.000 korisnika, s perspektivom daljnjeg rasta. Ustanovljeno je da je prosječno u obiteljskom domu angažirano preko 6 osoba, u okvirnom omjeru: 2 člana obitelji i 4 vanjska zaposlenika. Budući da obiteljski domovi u dobroj mjeri angažiraju „neiskorištene“ materijalne i ljudske resurse kojima obitelj raspolaže (nezaposlene članove obitelji, postojeće objekte i opremu, u slučaju seljačkih domaćinstava i poljoprivredne resurse), cijena novootvorenog radnog mjesta je po prirodi stvari relativno niska. To ovu poduzetničku djelatnost čini još značajnijom, osobito jer se razvija i u manje razvijenim područjima i zapošljava i osobe niže zapošljivosti (nižeg obrazovnog statusa, starije, žene). Može se zaključiti da su obiteljski domovi nimalo zanemariv čimbenik otvaranja novih radnih mjesta i zapošljavanja, sada i ubuduće. Istraživanjem su ustanovljene i velike razlike u cijenama usluge, kao rezultat cjenovne prilagodbe tržišnoj potražnji i kupovnoj moći. To zacijelo rezultira i značajnim odstupanjima u kvaliteti usluge i uvjetima smještaja ove osjetljive skupine korisnika, što će ubuduće zahtijevati sustavniji državni nadzor i veća ulaganja predstavnika obiteljskih domova.

As from 2003, in the Republic of Croatia there are legal possibilities for the provision of social accommodation services for the elderly and seriously ill persons (for up to 20 beneficiaries) in family homes. This has enabled a completely new form of family entrepreneurship in the field of social welfare, which did not exist before, where the growth of supply and demand has been continuously recorded since then. The survey research, which included the total population of active family homes in the Republic of Croatia, successively in 2017, 2018 and 2019, has established their number and territorial distribution, capacity and number of users, price range, calculation of minimum total income, as well as the number and profiles of their employees, including engaged family members and external employees. Thanks to unsaturated and evergrowing demand for accommodation services, it turned out that the offer for family homes for elderly and seriously ill persons was present in all counties and by 2019 was increased to 400 active family homes and close to 6,000 users, with the prospect of further growth. It was found that, on average, more than 6 people were employed in a family home, in an approximate ratio of 2 family members to 4 external employees. Since family homes to a good extent engage the “unused” material and human resources that families have at their disposal (unemployed family members, existing facilities and equipment, and in rural households agricultural resources), the cost of a newly created job is relatively low. That makes this entrepreneurial activity even more important, especially because it is being developed in less developed areas, and is also an opportunity for people of lower employability (older people, people with lower educational status, women). It can be concluded that family homes are not a negligible factor in employment, now and in the future. The research has also revealed considerable differences in prices of accommodation services, as a result of their price adjustment to market requirements and purchasing power. It certainly also results in significant deviations in service quality and accommodation conditions. Since socially vulnerable groups are concerned, this will certainly require more systematic state supervision and greater investment by family home representatives in the future.
