Cel pracy:Celem artykułu i przeprowadzonych badań jest identyfikacja czynników i kryteriów decydujących o awansie w PolicjiMateriał i metody:W badaniach wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, technikę badań ankietowych oraz autorskie narzędzie badawcze w postaci kwestionariusza ankiety. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzone zostały na przełomie 2019 i 2020 roku. W badaniach uczestniczyli tzw. interesariusze wewnętrzni będący funkcjonariuszami policji na jej różnych szczeblach i przede wszystkim podnoszący swoje kwalifikacje w ramach kursu oficerskiego oraz na studiach podyplomowych organizowanych w Wyższej Szkole Policji w Szczytnie. Na użytek niniejszego artykułu określeni zostali oni przez autorów nazwą interesariuszy wewnętrznychWyniki:Z badań wynika, że w formacji mundurowej jaką jest policja stosowanie racjonalnych kryteriów decydujących o awansie zawodowym na wyższe stanowiska ma charakter ograniczony. Można przyjąć, że występują pewne objawy uznawane powszechnie za patologiczne, w ramach, których najczęściej o awansie decydują inne, często nie merytoryczne czynniki.Wnioski:Przeprowadzone badania wskazują na konieczność dokonania pogłębionej oceny i analizy realizowanych zasad zarządzania kadrami i wdrożenie procedur uzdrawiających stan zasobów kadrowych tej formacji. Niezbędne jest też wdrożenie zasad i procedur stałego nadzorowania realizowanego procesu zarządzania kadrami, w tym zwłaszcza procesu awansowania.

Education for sustainable development is globally acknowledged as crucial for fostering knowledge, skills, and values essential for sustainable living. This research aimed to (1) examine the current and desired conditions of administrative strategies in higher education institutions in the lower northern region based on the concept of education for sustainable development, and (2) develop corresponding strategies focusing on economic, social, environmental, and systemic dimensions. A mixed-method approach was employed, with a sample of 243 administrators and personnel from 12 universities in the region. Research instruments included a conceptual framework assessment, a questionnaire, and structured interviews. The findings revealed that current administrative practices ranked as follows: (1) curriculum development, (2) teaching and learning management, and (3) educational measurement and evaluation. While all aspects showed a good level of development, the desired conditions indicated the need for further improvement, with the ranking of (1) curriculum development, (2) educational measurement and evaluation, and (3) educational management. The study identified three core strategies: (1) reforming integrated curriculum design to align with sustainable development by emphasizing comprehensive systems that connect theory to practice; (2) enhancing the quality of educational measurement and evaluation to support sustainability-focused skills and concepts; and (3) transforming teaching and learning management by utilizing technology to foster an environment conducive to learning and innovation.

Raport de evaluare a performanțelor profesionale individuale ale funcționarilor publici nelegal întocmit

Author(s): Vasile Alexandru / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2024

1. Instanța de fond a interpretat în mod corect prevederile art. 16 alin. (1) din Legea contenciosului administrativ nr. 554/2004, publicată în Monitorul Oficial al României, Partea I, nr. 1154 din 7 decembrie 2004, cu modificările și completările ulterioare. Este adevărat că, în prezenta cauză, reclamanta nu a solicitat și obligarea pârâților plata unor despăgubiri pentru prejudiciul cauzat, însă pârâta UAT Comuna I a fost chemată în judecată în calitate de emitent al actelor administrative contestate, iar Viceprimarul Comunei I, în calitate de contrasemnatar al raportului de evaluare a performanțelor individuale nr. X/06.01.2022 (f. 198 Vol. II dosar fond), raportul de evaluare menționat conținând semnătura și ștampila evaluatorului Primarul Comunei I, precum și semnătura persoanei care a contrasemnat raportul Viceprimar B. De asemenea, pârâta UAT Comuna I este autoritatea publică emitentă a raportului de evaluare menționat, precum și a adresei nr. Y din 12.07.2022 contestată de reclamantă, în sensul prevederilor art. 2 alin. (1) lit. b) din Legea nr. 554/2004, având calitate procesuală pasivă în prezenta cauză; 2. Instanța de fond s-a referit în mod corect la dispozițiile art. 621 , art. 622 și 627 din Legea nr. 188/1999, în temeiul căreia a fost emisă hotărârea Guvernului în conformitate cu care a fost întocmit raportul de evaluare contestat, pârâții utilizând, la întocmirea raportului de evaluare, formularul prevăzut în Anexa nr. 6 la Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 611/2008, fără a face nicio referire la metodologia prevăzută în Anexa nr. 6 la Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 57/2019. Pe de altă parte, față de perioada pentru care a fost evaluată intimata-reclamantă, 01.01.2021-31.12.2021, ulterioară intrării în vigoare a Codului administrativ, într-adevăr erau incidente prevederile Anexei nr. 6 la Codul administrativ, iar nu cele ale Legii nr. 188/1999, însă Curtea a constatat că metodologia prevăzută în Anexa nr. 6 la Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 57/2019 conține prevederi similare cu cele ale Legii nr. 188/1999 la care s-a referit instanța de fond; 3. Raportul de evaluare a performanțelor individuale nr. X/06.01.2022, contestat în prezenta cauză, nu a fost motivat în mod corespunzător în privința notelor acordate, mențiunile din raportul de evaluare fiind și contradictorii. Astfel, cu privire la obiectivul „Efectuarea lucrărilor legate de încasarea impozitelor și taxelor de la populație”, se menționează că indicatorul de performanță „Permanent” a fost realizat în proporție de 100%, ceea ce înseamnă că obiectivul menționat a fost realizat la nivelul maxim, însă nota acordată este 3, în condițiile în care atingerea obiectivului la nivelul maxim justifica acordarea notei maxime 5 conform art. 18 alin. (1) din Metodologia prevăzută în Anexa nr. 6 la Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 57/2019, iar nu a notei 3, care a fost acordată intimatei; 4. În condițiile în care interviul reprezintă o etapă a procesului de evaluare a performanțelor profesionale individuale ale funcționarilor publici conform dispozițiilor art. 17 alin. (1) lit. a) din Metodologia prevăzută în Anexa nr. 6 la Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 57/2019, iar semnarea și datarea raportului de evaluare nu se pot realiza în lipsa parcurgerii etapei interviului, Curtea a reținut că raportul de evaluare contestat a fost nelegal întocmit, criticile recurenților pârâți, prin raportare la alte înscrisuri pretins a fi avute în vedere la întocmirea raportului de evaluare fiind nefondate.

КЕРІВНИЙ СКЛАД ЧЕРНІВЕЦЬКОГО ДЕРЖАВНОГО МЕДИЧНОГО ІНСТИТУТУ (БУКОВИНСЬКОЇ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ МЕДИЧНОЇ АКАДЕМІЇ) У 1975-2005 РР.

Author(s): Igor GERUSH,Antoniy Moysey / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2023

The article, based on archival material and conversations with informants, provides data on the leadership of the Chernivtsi State Medical Institute and the Bukovinian State Medical Academy in 1975-2005 and its impact on the development of the institution. The purpose of this work is to introduce these new data into scientifi c circulation. The relevance of the study is due to the approach of the 80th anniversary of Bukovinian State Medical University, the need to honor the scientists who glorifi ed the educational institution, as well as the need to educate young doctors with a creative approach to the profession. In the fi eld of attention of the authors of the study, not only the list of rectors (V. K. Patraty, V. P. Pishak), vicerectors (Fedoruk S. G., Sokol A. M., Kolomoets M.Yu., Voloshin P. V., Khodorovsky G. I., Kokoshchuk G. I., Mohun I. K., Milkov B. O., Kravchenko O. V., Sidorchuk I. Y., Nechitailo Yu. M., Zoriy N. I., Kardash V. E.) and deans, but also the analysis of each personality in the context of biographical data, career movement, creative achievements, social activities, awards, personal contribution to the development of medical science and the university. The article is decorated with photographs of rectors and vice-rectors of the corresponding period. Conclusions. In the time interval 1975-2005. the main stages of the development of BSMU were due to historical realities. Since 1975. until the mid-1980s. the education system was embedded in the Soviet paradigm of world perception. However, in professional terms, the BSMU team clearly followed the scientifi c approaches to teaching special disciplines, highlighting the practical training of young doctors. With the beginning of «perestroika» (rebuilt) in the USSR (II half. 1980s), the process of liberalization of political life intensifi ed, which certainly had an impact on the educational process, especially in the humanitarian cycle of subjects. With the Ukrainian state gaining independence, there were major organizational changes: in 1997. the institution became an Academy, and since 2005 it has been transformed into University. This infl uenced the content of education. The University joined the Bologna Process. A stable number of foreign students in those days is an indicator of these changes. The disciplines of the Marxist- Leninist cycle disappeared. The educational institution entered the era of electronic technology, having a solid material and technical base for this.

EXHIBITION AS A SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON AND OBJECT OF EVENT MANAGEMENT

Author(s): Yaroslav Martynyshyn / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The purpose of the article is a theoretical analysis of exhibition activity as a cultural phenomenon and an object of event management. The research methodology is based on the use of dialectical, systemic, cultural and interdisciplinary approaches, which makes it possible to comprehensively investigate the multifaceted phenomenon of the organisation of exhibition activities. The scientific novelty lies in deepening the understanding of the nature of the exhibition phenomenon and the peculiarities of its event management in the conditions of complicated social relations, uncertainty, and turbulence. Conclusions. The exhibition is a special cultural phenomenon, an object of event management, a source of information about the achievements of individual enterprises, industries, regions, and countries, as well as an effective marketing tool of intercultural communication. It is a semiotic space formed for the purpose of presenting ideas, things created for their presentation to society. Exhibits as semiotic signs form certain meanings, emotional and figurative cognitive activity, contribute to the growth of interest in the relevant products, the development of national culture and economy. Considering the exhibition as a product allows you to look at this marketing tool in the event management system in a new way, identify all the opportunities it provides and use them to get the maximum effect from the exhibition. The market of exhibition services is steadily growing. However, there is a conflict of interests between the organisers and the exhibitors: the organisers cannot offer a product that satisfies the communication needs of the exhibitors, and because of this, the exhibitors do not fully use all the possibilities of the exhibition. The reason for this is insufficient methodical support of the exhibition activity, as well as failure to take into account the assessment of the level of organisation of the exhibition and the quality of services provided by its organisers.

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Author(s): Sylvie Lavallée,Ala Andon / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2021

In general, human resources management (HRM) is a set of activities, performed at the organizational level, and which allows the most efficient use of people, employees of that authority, to achieve both general organizational and individual goals. In specific terms, human resource management consists of numerous activities, which include, among others, the following basic directions: • Staff planning; • Elaboration of job descriptions; • Recruitment, selection and orientation of staff; • Evaluation of individual and collective performances; • Rewards and benefits specific to the job; • Health and safety of staff; • Discipline, control and evaluation of staff functions; • Work scheduling, etc. Obviously, this list is not exhaustive, but it presents most of the important actions that human resources management deals with, an area of organizational management that helps, and most often does, to streamline the activity of an organization. Within the local public authority (LPA), this is particularly important, because the success of the activities carried out at the level of the whole community depends on the efficiency of carrying out these activities.

Author(s): Ionela Brînză / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 01/2023

The pedagogue George G. Antonescu remained consistent with the university ideal of the fundamental research of education, pursued throughout his life from a philosophical and psychological perspective, being anchored in the life of society. His writings have survived to this day and address important topics in the field of education policy, with openness to school management and the issue of Romanian education reform in the interwar period. The studied problem is oriented towards the development of a policy of culture, necessary in education, supported institutionally in order to be able to solve an existing and present management problem - the relationship between "pedagogical science and school administration", between „pedagogical centralization" (scientific) and "decentralization of education" (administrative).

Author(s): Elena Creangă / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 02/2023

In this article, we elucidate self-esteem as a fundamental dimension of resilient managers. However, self-esteem is an essential dimension for any human being, regardless of whether he is a child, adult or elderly person, regardless of culture, personality, interests, social status, abilities. In reality, self-esteem is based on three „ingredients”: self-love, self-concept and self-confidence. Self-esteem is an important component of personal development and career success for anyone, including managers. Resilient managers tend to have a healthy self-esteem that is balanced and based on a realistic understanding of their abilities and capabilities.

THE CONFLICT, ITS METHODS, AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES WITHIN ORGANIZATIONS

Author(s): Ali ALLIOUA,Abderrazak SOLTANI / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The types of organizational conflict vary with different situations and relationship parties. Personal (intrapersonal) conflict relates to the individual itself, being the sole source of conflict occurring within the individual. It doesn't necessarily require the presence of other individuals. In some cases, the effects of this conflict may extend to others within or outside the organization when the individual's condition deteriorates, leading to unconscious behaviours that alter others' perceptions of them. Interpersonal conflict occurs between individuals and involves multiple parties. It can happen between a manager and their subordinates, between a manager and their deputy, or among groups of individuals due to differences in opinions and attitudes towards a specific phenomenon. This type of conflict can also occur between groups, involving various levels and encompassing a large group within the organization. Conflict might arise between different work units, departments, or organizations due to differences in viewpoints, fair resource distribution, or difficulties in defining responsibilities among different units, leading to conflict between these groups or organizations, known as 'inter-organizational conflict.' Due to the significance of this issue, we wanted to shed light on this phenomenon by focusing on its methods, tools, the reasons behind its occurrence within organizations, as well as its management strategies. Additionally, we will also focus on its effects, whether positive or negative.

PREVENTING SCHOOL FAILURE THROUGH MODERN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Author(s): Amalia VELICU / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

School failure is a complex phenomenon, with social, pedagogical and individual determinations. This article analyzes the relationship between education, socialization and the educational ideal promoted in a society. School deviance is shown to be indicative of wider systemic dysfunctions. At the pedagogical level, the main causes identified are: the inability to adapt to the needs of each student, the perpetuation of inequalities and negative labeling. To combat it, modern educational management strategies are proposed: student-centered learning, prevention of discrimination, inclusive education, teacher training in new paradigms. The transition to a modern education, focused on the uniqueness of each student, is a complex but necessary reform. The multidimensional approach - social, managerial and pedagogical - is essential for the creation of a performing and fair educational system.

The Importance of Waste Management: Some Observations on Albania

Author(s): Anisa Saraci,Giovanni Lagioia / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Purpose: We inhabit an epoch confronted by formidable challenges that imperil our collective well-being. The reliance of economies on fossil fuels, coupled with widespread deforestation, has exacerbated the greenhouse effect, resulting in the degradation of numerous ecosystems and the alteration of the global climate. Concurrently, there is a fervent pursuit of non-renewable resources, heralding a pivotal contest among major producers. The proliferation of production and consumption has engendered a staggering volume of waste, whose mismanagement risks precipitating extreme levels of pollution across land, water, and the atmosphere. These pressing concerns underscore the imperative for a transition from a linear to a circular economic model. The purpose of this article is to elucidate these challenges and conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis between the Waste Management Systems of Albania and those of Europe. Methodology: A qualitative research study was undertaken to analyse pertinent data, reports, and legislation. The paper draws upon secondary data sourced from various entities, including the World Bank, Eurostat, INSTAT Albania, EU legislation, and reports. Findings: The findings suggest that the primary waste management strategy in Albania involves landfilling, which is considered the least effective method for waste treatment and utilization. While Albania endeavors to align with the guidelines provided by the European Union, it still lacks a waste management system capable of meeting the established objectives. Value: By delineating the challenges faced by Albania and juxtaposing them with those encountered by EU member states, this paper initiates a broader discourse on innovative strategies, emerging technologies, and cultural influences necessary to attain an effective waste management model.
