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.

AbstractRecurring debates about the impact of the brain drain— the developing world's loss of human capital to more developed countries—has motivated estimation of the magnitude of the phenomenon, most recently by the World Bank. Although frequently cited as a key contributor to Africa's wanting development record, what constitutes the "brain-drain" is not always clearly defined. Today, in the absence of an accounting system, resolution of the definitional and measurement question depends on relative comparisons of measurement variants, which will identify definitional shortcomings by clarifying the merits and demerits of these variants, and thereby suggest corrective imputations. This paper compares the World Bank's approach to a chronological precedent (Dodoo 1997) to clarify the value of variant comparisons. The resultant implications for corrections are also discussed.

Abstract There is limited research examining professional development for general and special education teachers implementing self-determination interventions. This study presents outcomes of a 2-day professional development training for the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) for general and special educators guided by key elements of professional development. Results suggested teachers had positive perceptions of the training and showed improvements in knowledge and skills related to self-determination, but reported no change in perceived usefulness for students. Findings suggested teachers already perceived self-determination to be important and relevant to their students and that this professional development training was successful in improving teachers' knowledge and skills. Further research is needed to examine how this training impacts teacher implementation of the SDLMI and student outcomes.

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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of interstate migration of individuals with different qualification levels on human capital formation in the migrant’s place of origin. Design/methodology/approach A dynamic panel model with data from the National Household Sample Survey (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD)), between 2001 and 2013, is used. Findings The results indicate that the migration of high-skilled people boosts school attendance in fifth grade elementary school and first year high school, but it does not affect the levels of those entering first year in higher education. However, the migration of low-skilled workers discourages people from entering higher education, as those living in less developed areas do not need higher education qualifications to get higher incomes. Thus, they migrate to developed areas with the education levels they already have. The brain gain hypothesis is not, therefore, confirmed in the context of higher education attendance. Originality/value This paper’s contribution is its investigation into the effect of interstate migration on human capital formation in Brazil, through testing the brain gain hypothesis in a national context. In addition, it also analyzes the impact of the migration of people of low and intermediate qualification levels on human capital, with a view to verifying if the mobility of people with other levels of qualification could discourage the formation of human capital.

The Impact

One can notice intense changes in modern advertising services’ market. Under the conditions of rapid technological changes, violent competition, and increased significance of human capital, advertising agencies face difficulties in covering and retaining the desirable position in the market. Advertising agencies have to react to factors of economic, social, technological environment and to stimulate the employment of human capital, managerial education. Managerial education should cover the development of leadership. It means that managers should educate themselves as leaders. It is a relevant condition for successful management. The manuscript aims at revealing the expression of leadership and management features in advertising agencies in Siauliai region. Theoretical analysis has shown that leadership is defined as relationships between leader and her followers. These relationships are based upon influence and aim at change implementation while pursuing common goals. Management is treated as knowledge and skills of managers. Knowledge and skills ensure the achievement of company’s goals and harmonious activity of congenial people and employees. It was found that a leader and a manager in an organization can be a different person. Results of empirical research has shown that majority of employees of advertising agencies in Siauliai region treat a leader as a person who takes responsibility and is inclined to take new activities in spite of given instructions. Leaders use current potential and seek for better results of activity. Majority of employees paid attention to one more important aspect of a leader, i.e. motivation to pursue common goals. One should notice the impact of a leader on employees during the process of the implementation of change. Results of the research confirmed that leader had a significant impact upon the success of the organization.Keywords: management, leadership, change management, human capital, advertising services.

The Impact

The Tendency of firms from emerging economies to invest abroad has increased significantly during the last two decades. Despite this trend, comprehensive literature survey research on macroeconomic determinants and antecedents of outward FDI from emerging economies is still underrepresented. The purpose of this paper is to give a comprehensive understanding of home country level factors’ impact on outward FDI from developing countries through a systematic review of past researches on OFDI’s macroeconomic determinants of home economy. The findings reveal that the most important determinants are, home country market size and openness of home country towards internationalization. However, some researches posted contrasting results for the impact of home country’s interest rates, human capital and technological capability on OFDI from emerging economies. This study also points out that emerging economies suffer from shortage of skilled personnel, thus making human capital an essential push factor for OFDI.
