At present, human resources are considered the most valuable corporate resource, which help to achieve corporate objectives. Many employers are aware that only an em- ployee who has the necessary skills and knowledge is a real asset to the company. This leads organizations to implement training & development activities for their staff. The paper deals with training & development as one of the important HRM activities that may affect the performance of the organization. It introduces the results of research con- ducted in Slovakia, aimed to verify the statistical relationship between training & devel- opment and organizational performance, as expressed by financial situation and labor productivity.

Employees’ attitudes to changes and organizational performance have been the subjects of interest of theoreticians and practitioners of management for a long time. However, direct relations between these phenomena are rarely examined. Dynamic changes in organizations providing public services, their striving for enhancement of innovativeness and an increase of organizational performance cause that today this problem acquires special importance. This paper tries to answer the questions: what are employees’ attitudes to organizational changes in public organizations and what are the relationships between employees’ attitudes to organizational changes and public organizations’ performance? These aims will be achieved by presenting the results of literature study and empirical research carried out in public organizations.

Background and Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyse the effects of sustainability-oriented innovation practices on the overall organizational performance. Further, this paper also aims to advance understanding of the measurement of corporate sustainability practices with the focus on innovation dimensions. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study uses data obtained from a survey of 116 organizations encompassing both the manufacturing and service industries in Slovenia. Descriptive statistics were used in order to determine the level of sustainability-oriented innovation practices deployment. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to extract the underlying factors and to provide a basis for assessing their reliability and validity. In addition, regression analysis was used to quantify the effect of sustainability practices on the organizational performance. Results - Data analysis result showed that sustainability-oriented innovation practices are significantly associated with organizational performance. Therefore, empirical evidence from this research confirmed the premise that building innovation competencies and integrating innovation activities in organization’s processes lead to performance benefits. This contributes to the debate about the potential for organizations to be sustainable and competitive. Conclusion - The presented research on corporate sustainability provides important theoretical and practical insights on which the deployment of sustainability-oriented innovation practices are conducive to fostering a broader set of performance benefits. As such, managers should increase organizations’ capacity for innovation which can be beneficial in terms of performance implications and achieving sustainability goals

Today management competencies are seen as the only long-term strategic advantage of any company. However, from corporate experience we know that only 10 % of the knowledge acquired is transferred into entrepreneurial practice. Current trends in management development often overemphasize individual learning and ignore the missing fit between individual behavior and organizational performance. To meet these demands, we collected competency attributions of managers attending executive courses in Austria and Slovenia. A questionnaire with closed and open question will help to explore and compare the relation between organizational performance and current management competencies in these countries. The results confirm our predictions to a lesser extent. However, they represent a basis for further examination of the relationship between managerial competencies and organizational performance.

The consistent growth of mergers & acquisitions (M&As) activity around the world in the last decade, and the volume of capital involved in such transactions, stand in sharp contrast to the high failure rates evident in M&As. The inconsistency amongst empirical findings on M&A performance is based on a variety of settings and on different measurements investigated under the generic label ‘M&As’. This paper claims that we need to differentiate between general M&As and those involving technology firms acquisition. The combination of the drive, the dynamic process and the human capital capabilities which characterize the latter, is expected to result in a more successful result than was reported. Hi-tech innovative acquirers can benefit from buying small, start- up firms by adding valuable resources, increasing market power and initiating strategic renewal. It is proposed that in addition to the traditional critical success factors (CSFs) identified as the most influential variables on M&A performance, attention needs to be given to the acquired firms' motivation to succeed and to the performance of start-ups in the hi-tech sector. Some unique variables in that configuration need to be researched, amongst them are: trust, readiness for change, commitment, knowledge transfer and preserved autonomy. By doing that an opportunity will be given to examine if the general research paradigm of M&As fits the hi-tech’s circumstances or if a separate one is needed to measure the merger performance of start-ups. It is assumed that the Israeli's start-ups mergers represent a more successful case and that they will perform with more positive results. This paper presents a theoretical framework for investigating M&A performance in the hi-tech area through an interdisciplinary approach. The article is organized as follows: The first section outlines the various theoretical ideas and research done on M&As. The second part deals with some critical reviews that aim to explain the confusing data produced from that paradigm. Section three turns to the emerging area of the technological business environment highlighting the uniqueness of the Israeli start-up phenomena. The last section combines performance with hi-tech in order to provide new insights on the M&As processes for executives engaged in both planning and implementing M&A deals. The paper concludes with a short summary and practical recommendation for further research

Co-operative society businesses are one of the major contributions to the Sri Lankan economy. The multipurpose co-operative societies provide several services to people. The study was based on the managers of the retail stores of multipurpose co-operative societies in the northern central province of Sri Lanka, as they have suffered losses for several years. The study assessed the impact of employee job attitudes on organizational performance with selected managers as a study sample. A survey questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data. The study was conducted to measure and identify variables. The data collected were fitted to the created model. Model validation was assessed using the validity test of Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. A correlation coefficient and a regression analysis were used to analyze the dependencies between employee job attitudes and organizational performance to evaluate the hypotheses. All the hypotheses developed in the study were positively confirmed. The results of the study confirmed that managers have negative attitudes towards their employment, which has an impact on organizational performance. The study recommends that co-operative societies should have mechanisms to assess employee job attitudes and improve the quality of work-life to enhance organizational performance.

The article refers to a valid and current research area, which is the role of information technology (IT) in the formation of business sustainability (BS). The main objective of this article is to identify the role of IT in shaping sustainable organization in the context of different, partly conflicting, approaches to BS and empirical verification of the proposed theoretical framework. The article describes key differences between BS approaches in case cognitive logic (reductionist versus integrative logic) and axiological (individualistic-egoistic versus holistic-altruistic axiology) distinction. Theoretical role of IT in shaping integrative logic for BS is identified and presented. The proposed theoretical concept is empirically verified. The verification is based on empirical studies conducted in 400 SMEs operating in Poland in 2017.

Organizacje wciąż poszukują nowych rozwiązań umożliwiających osiągnięcie poprawy efektywności działania. Wyrazem tego jest wdrażanie do praktyki koncepcji zarządzania procesowego, która polega na traktowaniu przedsiębiorstwa jako spójnego systemu, odwołującego się do procesów. Zarządzanie organizacją w układzie procesowym powinno zapewnić jej wyższy poziom organizacji pracy, większą elastyczność działania oraz przyspieszyć szybkość reagowania na zmieniające się wymagania. Okazuje się jednak, że może pełnić także funkcję formalną i nie pozostawać w bezpośrednim związku z procesami realizacji zadań. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie jak wdrożenie zarządzania procesami może wpływać na organizację pracy.

Organisations are always looking for new solutions to achieve efficiency. This concept is called process management and involves treating the company as a coherent system referring to the process. Process management should ensure the higher level of organisation performance, greater flexibility and accelerate the speed of response to changing requirements. But in some situation it could be only a formal solution which does not support the company. The aim of the article is to show how to implement process management can influence the organisation performance.

This study investigates the relationships between market orientation, innovation resources, reputational resources, customer related capabilities and distribution-based assets, as well as their impact on both market and financial performance. The results indicate that market orientation is indirectly related to a company's market and financial performance through the four other marketing resources. Reputational resources have a positive impact on loyalty, market share and sales volume, while the impact of innovation resources on the market share and sales volume is more indirect and through customer loyalty. While customer-related capabilities significantly impact customer loyalty, their impact on the market share and sales volume can not be confirmed. On the other hand, the distribution-based assets are only weakly related to loyalty, the market share and the sales volume. The general findings indicate that selected marketing resources impact financial performance indirectly through the creation of customer loyalty and directly through the market share and sales volume.

This article concerns the legitimacy of the diagnosis of McKenzie that Marcuse’s philosophy speaks of what today is called organizational performance. But the main purpose of these considerations is to answer the question of whether the proposal to create a new civilization presented by Marcuse and the theoretical attempt to reconcile the pleasure principle with the reality principle is possible. Marcuse wanted to create the vision of a new society as an alternative to the existing industrial society. To this end, he combined Marx and Freud’s perspective because he considered that only the combination of theory of the productive forces and psychoanalytical considerations would help determine the necessary conditions for the emergence of a new, non-repressive reality. Marcuse called for the project of a new principle of reality which would also include the pleasure principle. It seems, however, he did not notice that mutation forces pass into normative forces. What Marcuse expected, on one hand, has been fulfilled, on the other, however, created a lot of disadvantages which he did not foresee.

PL

Artykuł dotyczy słuszności diagnozy dokonanej przez McKenziego, że w filozofii Herberta Marcusego jest mowa o tym, co dzisiaj nazywa się performansem organizacyjnym. Ale głównym celem niniejszych rozważań jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy propozycja stworzenia nowej cywilizacji przedstawiona przez Marcusego oraz próba teoretycznego pogodzenia zasady przyjemności z zasadą rzeczywistości jest możliwa. Marcuse przedstawia wizję nowego społeczeństwa jako alternatywę dla dotychczasowego społeczeństwa przemysłowego. Łączy on perspektywę Marksowską z Freudowską, a to dlatego, że uznał on, iż dopiero połączenie teorii sił wytwórczych i rozważań psychoanalitycznych pomoże ustalić niezbędne warunki do powstania nowej, nierepresywnej rzeczywistości. Nawoływał do stworzenia projektu nowej zasady rzeczywistości, która nie wykluczałaby zasady przyjemności. Wydaje się jednak, że nie zauważył on faktu, iż siły mutacyjne niemalże niepostrzeżenie przechodzą w siły normatywne. To, czego spodziewał się Marcuse, z jednej strony spełniło się, z drugiej zaś stworzyło szereg wątpliwości, jak i niedogodności praktycznych, których nie przewidział.
