Doseganje zaposljivosti pri starajoči delovni sili; vloga starosti in doseganje ciljnih usmeritev

The aging workforce challenges companies to keep their aging employees employable in the workforce. This paper gives an indication as to which employees are more likely to be interested in further learning and employability. Specifically, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of chronological age and achievement goal orientations for informal and formal learning and employability. It was found that informal learning has a significant positive relation with several dimensions of employability. Furthermore, mastery-approach goal orientation also shows a significant positive relation with informal learning and employability. In addition, age had no significant relation with the achievement goal orientations. The paper stresses the need to consider characteristics other than chronological age, such as goal orientations, when considering employees’ learning behavior and employability.

Reorganizacija službe na primarnem nivoju zdravstvene dejavnosti v času epidemije COVID-19

The COVID-19 epidemic caused by the SARS-Co-V2 virus has dramatically affected the daily life of society as a whole and almost without exception the functioning of various institutions. The first and hardest have been institutions falling under the health care sector. Over the past several decades, the functioning of health care institutions has retained a more or less type of fragile balance that has been further shaken by the COVID-19 epidemic. This has served to inadevertently reveal some shortcomings in the health care sector. In this article, we outline the reorganization and adaptation of the primary health care sector as seen in the example of the Community Health Centre Kranj. Particulary highlighted are challenges faced within the health care institution as well as examples of good practice that should be maintained in the event of any future infectious disease epidemic outbreaks.

Digitalni dvojčki v ergonomskih ureditvah delovnih mest

t The approach to designing assembly lines and jobs in the modern world of Industry 4.0 is still too spontaneous. If we want to create a user-friendly workplace, it is necessary to include a myriad of variables with all the ergonomic principles. It is necessary to get involved in the process of progressive and holistic job design already in the phase of product design and the process of production and job design. Inadequate job planning can cause downtime in workflow engineering. If we want to be more efficient in product design, then we need to use the good experience of using digital twins. The experience of these and similar planning can be used for the preliminary design of a virtual workplace, where we can simulate the workload of employees, identify overloads and eliminate them already in the design phase. In this way, we are taking a big step towards streamlining jobs. In doing so, we avoid ergonomic slips, which are difficult to repair later. We are helped by modern tools, such as Tecnomatix JACK, ViveLab Ergo, NAWO ergo simulation, ..., with which we can generate, optimize, rationalize and implement a virtual solution in the marginal framework of a real solution.

Skupaj za prijazno, vključujoče in varno delovno okolje

The situation we are experiencing on a global level and in the domestic environment confirms long-standing warnings that human and planetary survival requires radical changes in the way we think and respond to the demanding problems and challenges of today's society. The COVID19 epidemic has further exacerbated the deterioration. There is too much intolerance, even towards those who, in their moral and professional obligation to humanity and the medical profession, risk their own lives to save the lives and health of others. As social and personal hardships intensify, the dark forces of human character accumulate and destroy interpersonal and social relationships. Due to the increasingly serious consequences, such as psychological and physical violence, discrimination and exclusion in the workplace, a comprehensive and inclusive (integrated, integrative) model of an inclusive and safe work environment is being established worldwide. Inclusive practices have a positive effect on productivity by improving organizational climate and employee motivation, commitment and adherence to business ethics and values of the organization, while reducing turnover and risk of deviance. Therefore, they are often mentioned as the starting point for integrated and connected, integrated business, applicable business ethics and integrity, sustainable social responsibility, and achieving sustainable development goals in the era of new technologies and Industry 4.0. Thus, as part of a tertiary research project, in January 2020 we organised a seminar with a workshop for UKCL employees on a friendly, inclusive and safe working environment. The findings and conclusions are presented in this paper.

LMX – teorija odnosa med vodjo in zaposlenim

Employees represent a key part of the organization. Their satisfaction has direct effect on co-workers and their productivity. Leader is largely responsible to create general satisfaction in work environment. With organizing, choosing appropriate management concepts and correct approach to his employees, he creates good relationships with colleagues and contributes to the internal culture of the organization. Good interpersonal relationships are thus an important factor in building success in the company and the operation of processes, as they directly affect work performance, organizational climate and organizational culture. Many companies use classic and wellknown leadership styles. Regardless of the chosen style, it is noticed an alienated relationship between the manager and the employee. The issue can be attributed to strict adherence to the set organizational structure and, in connection with this, the expression of the legitimate power of leaders, yet to some extent the problem is in different understanding of leadership, both with individuals and leaders themselves. The newer leadership style, called Leader-member Exchange Theory, focuses on building relationships, mutual respect and trust, and treating employees as co-workers on the same horizontal hierarchical level. The implementation of this style of management can be seen mainly in foreign markets. This approach is not well known or widespread in Slovenia, nevertheless it is noticed in some companies. Based on a case study from the business environment, we studied a company with such leadership in Slovenia.

Ekonomsko breme bolezni mišično-skeletnega sistema in vezivnega tkiva ter vpliv posledic na delo v organizacijah

Musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases represent a growing public health problem and pose a major burden on health systems. Due to the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, this area is becoming increasingly important in work organizations. An individual with health problems is less efficient and less productive at work, which results in poorer economic results. The health problems caused by these diseases also lead to premature retirement and a poorer quality of life for the individual. This increases the direct and indirect costs that burden employers and society as a whole. In cooperation with the Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana in 2000 the Slovenian National Institute of Public Health analyzed the economic burden of selected six diagnoses of the most common causes of musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases for the period 2016 to 2018, on the basis of routine health databases. Based on the calculation of indirect and direct costs, the economic burden of musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases accounted for about 5% of total health expenditure, which is 0.4% of gross domestic product in the study period. Risk factors associated with the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue can be influenced by a healthy lifestyle, which is reflected in a better quality of life of the individual and higher productivity in work organizations.

Poslovna etika in Pravna načela -dejavnika uspešnosti Delovanja Organizacij

The development of effective organizational systems is one of the most important factors of business success. Radical economic and political changes and the rapid development of the global economic environment trigger public debates in all social structures on the state of entrepreneurial culture, based on generally accepted ethical and legal principles. Ethical business problems have a global dimension and are particularly clearly reflected at the local level of operation. By joining wider social and entrepreneurial structures, Slovenia also accepts global rules of entrepreneurial activity. Growing competition in the global market requires companies to provide superior products, services and ethically and legally correct operations, which is one of the central factors of success in the global business environment. In this paper, we discuss the important relationships between ethics, respect for legal principles and the effectiveness of organizations.
