No full textGreen economy and human resource management: myths and realities of green jobs
No full textThe green economy is set up so that it can harmonize economic principles with ecological principles and its role and at the same time, its goal is to support sustainable development in accordance with the protection of nature and biodiversity. This concept puts an end to uncontrolled exploitation of natural raw materials. The emphasis is on green sectors, i.e.to those sectors that support the given goal, and they are expected to create new jobs. The transition to this type of economy requires new investments, the introduction of more expensive ecological production methods and procedures, and there is a need to manage human resources in such a way that they can attract people to those sectors that are ecologically sustainable. Such places are called green jobs and the jobs are called "green jobs". In this way, companies get new markets and new development opportunities, while at the same time care is taken to preserve nature and energy supplies. The green economic concept introduces the principle of rationality into production, and human resources in this concept experience a transformation from "being a cheap resource" to becoming a "trained, professional and well-paid workforce". However, the transition to a green economy requires a new way of organizing social protection, as well as paid and unpaid workers, as well as the stabilization of flexible forms of wor
On improbable carrots: Serbian citizens between Kosovo* and the elusive EU membership
Get PDFMembership in the EU is sometimes presented as a reward for Serbia’s eventual acknowledgement of Kosovo’s independence. Although membership in the EU has been a strategic goal of Serbian foreign policy, the EU is often perceived as working against Serbian national interests regarding Kosovo’s status. Relying on the cognitive dissonance theory, we hypothesize that in addition to a direct negative association between the support for Serbia’s territorial integrity and the EU membership, there is also an interactive effect: the association should be moderated by one’s opinion on when and whether Serbia will become a member of the EU. These hypotheses are examined using public opinion data based on a large national sample of adult Serbian citizens. The results support the interaction hypothesis: the attitude that Kosovo should remain part of Serbia is a stronger predictor of the (negative) evaluation of the EU among those respondents who do not believe that Serbia will become an EU member in the futur
Why EWSs for financial crises failed during the Covid-19 pandemic: The example of Serbia
Get PDFEarly warning systems (EWSs) are designed to anticipate future crises,
giving policymakers optimism that they would be able to make proactive
management decisions. The demonstration of EWSs effectiveness in the
economy was clear throughout the Asian financial crisis at the end of
the 1990s, the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the Great Recession, and the
European sovereign debt crisis of 2008-2012. However, EWSs failed during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Eichengreen et al. [13], Kaminsky et al. [23],
and Sachs et al. [33] methodology, the paper explains this phenomenon
by analyzing the determinants of currency crises episodes in the Republic
of Serbia from January 2001 to December 2021. The complexity of the
current crisis required a change of approach. As reflected by the Statistical
Office of the Republic of Serbia, one of the solutions is to develop a
Decision-Making Support System (DMSS). EWSs presented here could
serve as one of the many inputs in the assessment and identification of
financial crises. However, these models are not accurate enough to be
used as the sole method to anticipate crises. Like other crisis models,
they bring benefits but obviously have their drawbacks. That is why
it would be good to put them under the auspices of a more complex
DMSS. Again, for now DMSS should be seen just as a better alternative
to earlier practice. This is neither a final nor an almighty option, but it
must be further worked on in the future
