Организационна култура в училище

Author(s): Ivaylo Staribratov,Lilia Babakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2017

Issues related to the diagnosis and the formation of organizational culture are discussed in the management theory and practice, as organizational culture is seen as one of the determining competitive advantages of the organization.The management of educational institutions increasingly pays attention to the need to change the present culture, which has a positive effect on the staff and helps to improve the quality of the educational process and the popularity of the educational institution. In order to measure and establish the type of organizational culture in the school, standardized methodologies are needed and there are currently no data for their existence in Bulgaria. The essence of organizational culture in schools is very specific in comparison to the private sector, and this is an obstacle to the use of ready-made and standardized methodologies for companies, enterprises or other organizational structures. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to present the first steps in setting up a test to ensure the objective measurement and diagnosis of the type of organizational school culture.

Institutional Drift of the Healthcare System in Poland – the Institutional Approach

Author(s): Jarosław Plichta / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

The healthcare system in Poland has undergone a series of changes for many decades. For many years the entire system has been in a state of drift. The government has searched for a solution to this situation and a way out of the “path dependence”. Regardless of political aspects, centralisation has numerous disadvantages from the institutional point of view. In spite of the neo-classical approach in healthcare economics prevails in the literature, some scholars and practitioners propose alternative approaches, including institutional economics and its successor, New Institutional Economics. The approach emphasises the institutional environment of healthcare and take consideration of many different stakeholders, including informal institutions, thereby provides a broader view of the national healthcare system. The article attempts to examine the main challenges to the healthcare system in Poland from an institutional point of view.

Economically and ecologically, marine environment plays an important role in all aspects of our life. Throughout human existence, we have relied on the marine environment for food, recreational activities, economic opportunities, and so on. For that reason, it is vital to protect, sustain, and improve the coastal zone as an aquatic resources and a habitat for wildlife. Managing coastal zones require involvements from many different stakeholders; however, the integration of all knowledge types -- including local expertise and scientific knowledge -- with the policymaking is not without challenges. This paper looks at the resource based capability and knowledge-based capability perspectives in measuring the effectiveness of knowledge management in a rural coastal region, Southeast Maluku district. This research uses stepwise regression analysis method with 253 respondents. The results of this study indicate that resources based and knowledge based capabilities in this region are effective in supporting the application of knowledge capability management. However, the ability to obtain information and utilise information has not significantly impacted the development of knowledge capability management of fishery resources and marine in this region at the time of writing.

POUR UNE APPROCHE INTERDISCIPLINAIRE DE L’ETUDE DES « TECHNOLOGIES MILITANTES » : L’EXEMPLE DES TRACTS DU MOUVEMENT « ANTI-CPE » DE 2006

Author(s): Paolo Stuppia / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

As it a neglected boundary object of the scientific fields, the leaflet is most often relegated to a simple tool for illustrating political struggles, overlooking the viewpoint of its materiality, of its manufacturing and dissemination, and the multiplicity of its uses. Based on a PhD dissertation of 2014 about the leaflets of a french student protest, the one called “against-CPE” of 2006, the aim of this article is showing how an interdisciplinary approach can help to build a methodology to collect, define and analyze the multiple facets of this still relatively unknown “activist technology”.

LA CREATION D’UN RESEAU SCIENTIFIQUE POUR DEVELOPPER L’INTERDISCIPLINARITE: L’EXEMPLE DU RESEAU "EVALUATION FORMATION EMPLOI"

Author(s): Catherine Béduwé,Sandrine Croity-Belz,Catherine Soldano / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This contribution is a feedback on the creation of a network of researchers from various disciplines in the social sciences (Economics, Sociology, Social Psychology and Education Sciences). The object of research is that of the relations between training and employment and the evaluation of these relations by public policies. It is common to the disciplines but each apprehends it in a specific way. It has evolved as scientific exchanges and mutual knowledge progressed. This requires researchers to be involved sustainably in a collective and specific work, which is not easy to value. If so, it leads to an interdisciplinary production that brings innovation and knowledge.

QUAND L’INTERDISCIPLINARITE S’IMPOSE : CONTOURNEMENT D’UN REFUS DE TERRAIN PAR LA PROSOPOGRAPHIE

Author(s): Marion Demonteil / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This paper addresses the practical modalities of entry into interdisciplinarity. Starting from a specific case of rejection from the field, it shows how the use of the historical discipline’s tools shapes the construction of a sociological research object. Following a rejection from the field, this research had to get historical distance, which lead our study from a questioning on the effects of new public management to a socio-history of administrative control at the crossroads of history and the sociology of action. The exploratory possibilities offered by prosopography, and more specifically by optimal matching, are illustrated from the material of a survey devoted to the general inspectors of the French ministry of Culture between the 1960s and today.

ÉTUDE DES CRISES POLITIQUES INTERNATIONALES ET INTERDISCIPLINARITE : LE CAS DU 11 SEPTEMBRE 2001

Author(s): Thomas Meszaros,Clément Morier / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2018

This study aims to work the concept of “political crisis” using interdisciplinary tools. It is based on a case study, the crisis of the September 11 attacks, analyzed according to two complementary approaches. First, the breakdown of the sequences of this crisis makes it possible to identify the development of the intensity of the phenomenon over time, and its phases, in order to observe the behavior of the different types of actors involved in the crisis. Then, we have to study the dynamic “morphology” that shapes the deployment of the crisis, from the point of view of the aggressor but also from the target, using René Thom’s Catastrophe Theory. This accounts for the internal functioning of these actors, and also, shows crisis management opportunities for the target of these attacks. The purpose of this work is to put forward the relevance of interdisciplinarity to think political crises, and to put interdisciplinarity into practice in order to improve the knowledge of a phenomenon in a specific field (political crisis), by studying with another one.

DER TRANSFORMATIONSPROZESS RUMÄNIENS UND SEINE HINDERNISSE ZUR DEMOKRATIE

Author(s): Roxana Alice Stoenescu / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2018

This article discusses the difficulties of Romania's transformation and democratisation process. Despite the "official" change of system, corruption, social inequality, clan structural organisation and nepotism prevail in Romania. Without democratic values having provided the decisive impetus for the transformation of society, the completion of the system change didn´t take place, because there was no basis for a democratic change of values. The main thesis are that if the consciousness of the broad masses, despite the formal democratisation process did not change fundamentally, changing towards a democratic identity remains rather a utopian goal.

POLITICAL EVOLUTION AND INVOLUTION IN HUNGARY AFTER THE ACCESSION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Author(s): Ovidiu Vaida / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

After the fall of comunism, Hungary was one of the leading country in Central and Eastern Europe to pursue democracy and market economy. In short time, it was praised for its achievement in those areas, and soon Hungary was invited to join NATO, and starting with 2004, the EU. Yet, after 2010, some transformation took place in the political arena, and as a result, the quality of democracy started to decrease and in just few years, Hungary was the main example for illiberal democracy in this area. The current text aims to analise the changes that occurred in Hungary, to what extent democracy is jeopardised and what are the explanations for the illiberal turn.
