Employee satisfaction of vehicle technical inspection stations with internal communication in the Centar za vozila Hrvatske
Dobra komunikacija je ključni element uspješnog poslovanja određene organizacije.
Interna komunikacija igra važnu ulogu u postizanju ciljeva bilo unutar organizacije ili
izvan nje. Da bi stvorile konkurentsku prednost, organizacije trebaju znati kvalitetno
upravljati internom komunikacijom jer je ona preduvjet dobre eksterne komunikacije.
Organizacija može uspješno komunicirati s okruženjem jedino ako postoji dobra
komunikacija i koordinacija unutar organizacije (Lozić, 2020). Upravo su zaposlenici
najvažnija javnost za organizaciju. Interna komunikacija podrazumijeva dvosmjernu
razmjenu informacija među svim zaposlenicima organizacije s ciljem postizanja
određenih ciljeva. Interna komunikacija uključuje sve hijerarhijske razine, ima utjecaj na
zadovoljstvo, motiviranost i efikasnost , a time i na povećanje konkurentske prednosti
organizacije. Važnost interne komunikacije je u tome da se izbjegne nesigurnost,
manjak motivacije i govorkanja među zaposlenicima. Dobra interna komunikacija daje
zaposlenicima osjećaj pripadnosti organizaciji, koji je važan jer smanjuje broj odlazaka
radnika iz organizacije. Neki od oblika interne komunikacije su izravna komunikacija,
sastanci, elektronička pošta, intranet, oglasne ploče, glasine, a u današnje vrijeme i
različiti oblici digitalne komunikacije. U ovom radu autorica je provela istraživanje
zadovoljstva internom komunikacijom djelatnika stanica za tehnički pregled. Istraživanje
se provodilo anketno u srpnju 2023. godine, na uzorku od 116 ispitanika. Rezultati
istraživanja pokazali su kako su djelatnici stanica za tehnički pregled zadovoljni
internom komunikacijom, kao i s medijima komunikacije. Uz to potvrdili su i tezu da
komunikacija utječe na njihovu motiviranost za rad.An organization's success depends on good communication. Internal
communication plays a crucial role in achieving goals both within and outside the
organization. For companies to achieve a competitive advantage, they must manage
internal communication effectively, since it is a prerequisite for good external
communication. An organization can successfully communicate with the environment
only if there is good communication and coordination within the organization (Lozić,
2020). The most important public for an organization is its employees. The concept of
internal communication means a two-way exchange of information between all
employees of an organization with the aim of achieving certain goals. An organization's
internal communication affects satisfaction, efficiency and motivation at all levels, and
thus, its competitive advantage. The importance of internal communication is to avoid
insecurity, lack of motivation and rumors among employees. An organization's internal
communication is important to give its employees a sense of belonging, which reduces
employee departures. There are many forms of internal communication, including direct
communication, meetings, e-mail, intranet, bulletin boards, rumours, and nowadays
various forms of digital communication. In this study, the author conducted a survey of
satisfaction with the internal communication of employees of technical inspection
stations. The survey was carried out in July 2023, on a sample of 116 respondents. The
results of the research showed that employees of technical inspection stations are
satisfied with internal communication, as well as with the media of communication. In
addition, they confirmed the thesis that communication affects their motivation to work

Cilj rada bio je utvrditi učestalost korištenja digitalne marketinške komunikacije u privatnom zdravstvu te sklonosti ispitanika kad je riječ o korištenju usluga privatnih zdravstvenih institucija. U radu je prikazan teorijski okvir digitalne marketinške komunikacije, pojašnjeni su pojmovi vezani uz digitalnu marketinšku komunikaciju i viralni marketing. Također, opisano je privatno zdravstvo u Hrvatskoj te trenutna analiza privatnog zdravstva u Hrvatskoj, a prikazani su i primjeri dobrih praksi digitalne marketinške komunikacije u privatnom zdravstvu. Istraživanjem je prikupljeno mišljenje ispitanika o inovativnosti u digitalnoj marketinškoj komunikaciji privatnih zdravstvenih institucija u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online ankete distribucijom elektroničkog anketnog upitnika, a u samom istraživanju sudjelovao je 81 ispitanik. Iz rezultata dobivenih istraživanjem može se zaključiti kako je ispitanicima važna online komunikacija, no velik broj ispitanika nije primijetio inovativne oblike digitalne marketinške komunikacije kad je riječ o komunikaciji privatnih zdravstvenih institucija u Hrvatskoj. Iako istraživanje ima određena ograničenja, donesen je zaključak istraživanja o mogućnosti napredovanja u inovativnom digitalnom marketinškom komuniciranju privatnih zdravstvenih institucija.This paper was written to analyze digital marketing communication in Croatian private healthcare.

Predictors of Foreign Travel Intentions During the Pandemic among Croatian Tourists
The coronavirus pandemic has imposed objective travel restrictions around the world, which negatively affected tourism in general. In addition, it created a strong subjective constraint, in literature known as Corona/Covid/pandemic travel anxiety/fear/phobia. In this paper, the basic research goal was to investigate the effects of pandemic travel anxiety and passion for traveling on future foreign travel intentions among participants who like to travel and usually travel at least twice a year prior to the pandemic. The online questionnaire was applied in February 2022 on different travel forums or websites which promotes tourism. The sample consisted of 738 participants. The results of regression analysis showed significant effects of travel passion and, in smaller extent, pandemic travel anxiety on travel intentions during the pandemic. These findings could contribute to an understanding of pandemic travel decision-making processes and provide useful implications for tourism practitioners

Efficiency analysis of the use of sales promotion instruments in the selected hotel
U marketinškoj koncepciji poslovanja marketing predstavlja način poslovanja usmjeren na stvaranje odnosa sa svim čimbenicima mikrookruženja i samim time ključnu poslovnu funkciju unutar poduzeća. Kako je krajnji cilj svakog poslovanja stvaranje odgovarajućeg i stabilnog profita, unapređenje prodaje predstavlja važan oblik marketinške aktivnosti i nezaobilazan alat promocije. Promocija pretpostavlja interaktivnu komunikaciju s klijentima koja je osnova konkuriranja i stvaranja održive konkurentne prednosti. Promocijom se privlači pažnja, informira o ponudi, stvara interes, potiče prodaja i lojalan potrošački odnos. Unapređenje prodaje obuhvaća aktivnosti koje utječu na sve sudionike u prodaji i kupovini određenog proizvoda ili usluge. Aktivnosti unapređenja prodaje usmjerene su i na potrošače i na prodajno osoblje. Jedino dvosmjerno korišteni alati unapređenja prodaje mogu rezultirati povoljnim rezultatom U ovom su radu analizirani korišteni alati unapređenja prodaje unutar strukture hotela Bellevue tijekom trogodišnjeg razdoblja.
