STAFF ASSESSMENT AND CHANGE OF ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: STUDYING THE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Summary/Abstract: Impact assessment is a relatively new topic in both the scientific and public debate. It can be said that its popularity is primarily in its narrow sense, namely as a necessary pre-action with the intentions of new regulations that form the environment and especially as a specific methodology for analyzing forthcoming regulations. In this sense, the practice has overtaken the theory. In searching for theoretical reflections based on certain cases, this article focuses on understanding the effects of the impact assessment (especially as performance assessment) as a potential for the development of social environment in relation to the action of a variety of factors. The paper links the topic of impact assessment to categories of sociological analysis such as social capital. The main conclusion concerns the impact of a regulation (staff attestation) not only and not primarily in its formal application, but in the flexible, continuous improvement of the toolbox in the case of a consistent application of the measure, thus achieving a cumulative effect and, as a result, contribute to the development of social capital. The success of a measure, however, is a function of the skills of the instrument's adaptability to the specifics of the environment.
