It improves economic performance, helps in forecasting and prevention, provides timely information and saves costs. In this sense, artificial intelligence is a valuable instrument also for the development and ensuring of the energy security in Bulgaria. It can be applied in all levels of the energy cycle – the upstream, midstream and downstream stages of production of energy resources, in the energy transport infrastructure, in the energy storage and also in the energy consumption. As a conclusion, it can be said that the timely application of artificial intelligence can reduce energy losses, optimize energy consumption, decrease energy expenses and give accurate and timely information for planning and forecasting.

Once the scientific terms are explained, the interdependency between these concepts will be outlined and analysed with the purpose of demonstrating the positive contribution that circular economy could have for ensuring the energy security in Bulgaria.

Keywords:Chief Directorate „Security“; „Security“ sector; human resource management; motivation; artificial intelligence; innovation
Summary/Abstract:„Human resources“ is the most important „asset“ that an organization can possess. Effective human resource management is based on the understanding that people are a key factor in any organization's competitive advantage. Building relationships based on values such as honesty, justice, and trust, is an element of the new management culture of the administration, aimed at the individual, the teamwork, and the performance of the tasks. It requires leaders who have high morals, values, and behaviors that match the stated values of the administration, who understand the significant impact of improving the management, and who work to improve the human resource system to achieve better results. For organizations to survive and prosper in a dynamically changing environment, they must rely on their employees – their skills and abilities, as well as their efforts and willingness to put their energy into the workplace. If organizations are unable to motivate their employees, make them engaged, make them feel part of a larger whole and give meaning to their work lives, they are doomed to failure. The ability to motivate people and guide their work behavior in accordance with the organization's goals and aims is a key to the success and prosperity of any organization, both in the private and public sectors. That is why for a force organization such as the Chief Directorate „Security“ of the Ministry of Justice, which needs highly qualified, reliable, and dedicated employees, it is of particular importance and significance to apply motivational techniques and develop suitable motivational methods for its composition. To be effective, they should not be copied by other organizations from the public sphere, but it is necessary methods of motivation, oriented specifically to the needs of the employees of the directorate to be developed and adapted to its resources. They must be introduced and conducted systematically according to a plan to prevent resource wastage or staff overload. The topics related to human resource management in the „Security“ sector are poorly developed in the literature in Bulgaria and there is to be seen a scientific vacuum in the direction of good practices. In today's rapidly changing, dynamic environment, 20th century approaches are no longer effective, efficient, and economically justifiable. This issue is subject to in-depth study, research, and the proposal of new modern approaches to human resource management, so that they are not only at the center of theoretical debates, but also in the practice of managers of the structures from the Security sector.

Human potential can unfold on a scale unimaginable until now, thanks to the use of technology to work more efficiently, to connect us with our loved ones and friends, to have fun, to learn, to create. All this is happening in a twinkling of an eye, thanks to technology. That is why there is almost no area of human life they do not take an important place or are absolutely necessary. In this context, their importance is equally significant for public administration and local government.

Summary/Abstract:For the first time in its history, contemporary society is facing challenges so diverse in nature – from the protracted pandemic of the Covid-19, to the crisis of hostilities in Ukraine; serious challenges based on the energy crisis, and complex economic relations.

This paper aims to present key ideas related to the concept of Green HRM and to highlight some key features in making sense of the applicability of this concept in the practice of modern organisations. It focuses on the current state of Green HRM practices in Germany and Bulgaria, where HRM has been a leading theme in recent years and where good practices and ideas can be drawn out.
