In this chapter, we consider the relationships between social identity and e-democracy in organizations that exist in the constantly changing global business and technological environment. We also consider the inevitability of organizational e-democracy in organizations undertaking information technology (IT) changes, the technology at the base of e-democracy. Through an examination of employees’ experiences of change, we investigate their perceptions of changes in effective communication during major organizational change implementation in a hospital context. While the changes were far reaching, we mainly focus on the introduction of information and communication technology (ICT). We use an empirical examination of an Australian public hospital’s IT change experience as the backdrop to assess the accuracy of the statement that there is an improvement in the autonomy within organizations as a result of IT changes. We discuss our findings in light of the implications that arise for HR practitioners.

The Impact

The key to the future of any country in the modern world lies in the knowledge, skills and talent of its population. This gives a special importance to education through which human capital is created as an important component of national wealth. Different methods of measuring human capital are found in literature. There is a well-known division into monetary and non-monetary methods, with the latter being specifically addressed in the article. Education plays an important role in achieving sustainable development. Through education, knowledge about sustainable development is acquired while human resources that are capable and willing to achieve this development are created. Education, just like sustainable development, has a long-time perspective. In both cases, the interests of the future are respected when making decisions in the present. The impact of education on sustainable development is manifested through all three of its dimensions ? economic, social and environmental. The key role of education for achieving sustainable development has been globally recognized and embedded in relevant United Nations documents, including a new global development agenda by 2030, focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals, of which Objective 4 explicitly refers to education. The European Union also pays considerable attention to education for the future in the context of the commitment of its members to achieve sustainable development. Serbia, at least declaratively, follows it, given the orientation of the country to join this regional integration. The future of education is under the strong influence of global mega trends, especially the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which strongly influences the world of work and the necessary knowledge and skills. During the earlier industrial revolutions, it took several decades to build appropriate education and training systems, but there is no time for that now. Changes must be anticipated, and reactions should be quick. The quality of educational systems of countries around the world and their preparedness for the challenges of the new age can be evaluated on the basis of the results of the Program for International Student Assessment ? PISA, the most important research in the field of education, which, under the auspices of the OECD, tests the knowledge and skills of fifteen-year-olds, and relying on the composite indicator introduced by the World Economic Forum ? Global Human Capital Index (GHCI). The results for Serbia are generally discouraging, but in some segments, they point to the country?s hidden potentials that should be activated. Education represents the development opportunity of Serbia at the threshold of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As a small and economically country, Serbia should not remain at the margin of events, in the role of a passive observer. On the contrary, through adapting its education system to the demands of time by adequate financial and institutional support, thus improving human capital of the people, Serbia can find its place in a changing labor market and create preconditions for dynamic and sustainable economic development.

This article presents an economic growth model with human capital, based upon Arrow (1962), which evaluates the impact of political leadership change either in governments or political parties. The change of leadership might be seen as a change in embedded human capital, and thus we might evaluate the loss or gain for society due to these political activities. The approach is theoretical using Arrowian economic setting and formulates the conditions in which it is worth it, or how long does it take to recover from a political leadership change. The embedded process is an economic one, known as "learning by doing", but this time applied to political processes.

The aim of the article is to assess the impact of emigration on the level of acquiring new or expanding existing knowledge and skills. The survey made it possible to get answers from 160 respondents, Poles, who have been abroad for at least 12 months. The obtained results indicate that nearly every fourth respondent, deciding on emigration, was guided by the desire to acquire new or develop the existing competences, and almost every fifth expressed the desire to work in an international environment. 84% of respondents declare acquisition or development of knowledge and skills, which are used by most of the respondents in their present job thanks to working abroad. Every third respondent also indicates that she/he wants to return to her/his home country or go to another third country. This means that migration contributes to the enrichment of human capital and the brain circulation between countries.

The Impact

Recent investigations suggest that human capital investment influences and largely impacted the organization’s performance and success. Other human resource practices such as training and development may also improve the level of human capital in the firm. In this study, the human resource investment that aims to improve the level of knowledge and skills of mid-level managers, as well other features such as their managerial and leadership skills, employee engagement, and empowerment, that was practiced by The Datai Langkawi, will be the main focus. The program initiated by The Datai Resort in Langkawi called the ‘Datai Investing People’ or ‘DIP’ program, is a certification for an executive program for their mid-level managers and supervisors. A qualitative interview was conducted with nine of the DIP program participants, in investigating the impact and challenges of the DIP program. The data from the interview were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic analysis. It was found that overall, participants of the DIP program were satisfied and mentioned improved managerial and leadership skills, personal development, and improvement, and improved interdepartmental communication and engagement as the impact of the DIP program. Meanwhile, among the challenges found are the approaches and method and unfamiliar classroom setting and environment of the DIP program. Furthermore, the program has successfully conducted and achieved its intended outcome for The Datai. As a pioneer of such a program, this could be a catalyst to promote human resource practices among hotels, in ensuring an improved organization’s performance and human capital’s knowledge and skills development.

Subject. The study focuses on the impact of the digital economy determinants of the education transformation. Objectives. The article provides our own approach treating the education capital as a specific asset of the digital economy, which has an acceleration effect and sets up new trends in education through integrative networks. Methods. The study is based on principles of the systems integration, cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. Results. The socio-economic progress was found to be determined with properties of human capital, which are solely specific to the digital economy. In new circumstances, it gets more important for actors of global, national, corporate and social networks to more actively cooperate within distributed networks in order to train high professionals, who would have skills in information networks. Thus, they would raise a new form of human capital – the capital of network education (network-based education capital). We describe positive externalities that arise when the educational sector joins communication processes. We illustrate how educational forms evolves, which are typical of a certain phase of the socio-economic development. The education capital was discovered to grow into a specific asset generating the quasi-rent and working as a social ladder only provided more actors are involved into the network. Conclusions and Relevance. Studying the evolution of educational forms through the cross-disciplinary method, we discovered the need for a system approach, which would help substantiate its transformation in the time of the digital economy, and the emergence of network-based education. These are technologies and tools of the digital economy that become unique factors generating the acceleration effect of the educational capital and ensuring the use of diverse network effects for the formation of intellectual capital and their social transformation.
