The EU Strategy for the Danube Region: What Potential Contribution to Regional Stability and Co-operation? Bruges Regional Integration & Global Governance Paper 4/2011, September 2011
Get PDFThe European Union Strategy for the Danube Region is a recent initiative that aims to enhance sub-regional co-operation through collaboration on a series of crossborder projects. In this paper, I present an analysis of the strategy’s preparation and consultation stages in order to assess the extent to which it incorporates an effective external dimension, capable of enhancing regional stability and cooperation. In order to identify a set of common indicators that are indicative of successful sub-regional policy, I begin my research with an analysis of three existing sub-regional frameworks: the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, the Northern Dimension and the Black Sea Economic Co-operation. On the basis of this analysis, I identify indicators of successful sub-regional policy as: equal partnership, joint ownership, diverse stakeholder involvement, adequate funding and
institutional capacity, strong level of commitment and common interests and objectives. When applied to the external dimension of the European Union Strategy
for the Danube Region, the indicators reveal several weaknesses that may serve to reduce the strategy’s overall effectiveness. By identifying areas for improvement,
this research aims to make a contribution to progressive sub-regional policy, while providing a comprehensive case study that may be subject to analysis within a broader theoretical framework
Short story by Mojca Kumerdej
Get PDFPričujoče diplomsko delo podaja značilnosti sodobne slovenske kratke proze, proučuje izbrano sodobno slovensko avtorico in njeni kratkoprozni zbirki Fragma in Temna snov ter prinaša zapis o značilnostih literature, ki jo pišejo ženske.
Slovenska pisateljica Mojca Kumerdej sodi v obdobje slovenske literarne postmoderne. Za to obdobje sta značilni izrazita heterogenost in pluralnost. Znotraj dobe opazimo več literarnih smeri, ki se medsebojno prepletajo, včasih opazimo celo več literarnih smeri znotraj istega dela: neorealizem, postsimbolizem, magični realizem, neodekadenco, minimalizem, postmodernizem. Za literaturo je nemogoče najti skupno imerečemo lahko, da je obdobje slovenske postmoderne obdobje »avtopoetik«. Med literarnimi ustvarjalci je v omenjenem obdobju najpriljubljenejša kratka proza. Obseg pojma kratka proza je skrajno nejasen, zato največkrat nedoločen. Tradicionalna literarna teorija navaja več sinonimnih izrazov, kljub temu pa si sodobna literarna veda prizadeva za vrstno razločevanje znotraj področja kratke proze: kratka zgodba (short story), novela, črtica. Literarni znanstveniki (Blanka Bošnjak) razlikujejo več tipov slovenske kratke proze: postmodernističnega, ultramodernističnega, iracionalno-mističnega in neorealističnega.
Neorealistični prozni pisavi sledi Mojca Kumerdej, umetnostna kritičarka in kulturna kronistka, in sicer v svoji prvi zbirki kratke proze Fragma. Literarni opus Mojce Kumerdej obsega tri dela – roman Krst nad Triglavom (2001) ter dve kratkoprozni zbirki, že omenjeno Fragmo (2003) in Temno snov (2011), ki sta osrednji predmet diplomskega dela.
V Fragmi gre za prikaz neznanih, skrajnih, celo zločinskih vidikov iz življenja navidez običajnega človeka. Fragma je simbol za duševni zapredek, ki v določenem trenutku poči in privede v nepričakovana dejanja (detomor, samomor, sadomazohizem, pedofilija idr. patološkosti). Jezikovno-slogovno so besedila zaznamovana s pogovornimi in slengovskimi izrazi, pojavljajo se tudi angleški citati.
Temna snov podaja zgodbe iz življenja v sodobnem svetu. Njene osrednje teme so sodobnikove frustracije, prekrite travme, spolne zlorabe, zločini, čudodelstva, izključevalnost do drugačnih, materializem. Naslov simbolizira skrite, zamolčane globine v človeku, za katere je le vprašanje časa, kdaj bodo prišle na dan. Besedila se ukvarjajo z vprašanjem, kaj se skriva za videzom, za navidez urejeno vsakdanjostjo. Napisana so v nezahtevnem, komunikativnem slogu.
Mojca Kumerdej se s svojima zbirkama kratke proze nesporno uvršča med najkakovostnejše sodobne slovenske avtorice, a je treba opozoriti na dejstvo, da literarna zgodovina in kritika ženski ustvarjalnosti še vedno ne namenjata dovolj pozornosti oziroma jo puščata v ozadju.This diploma paper examines the characteristics of Slovenian short prose and focuses on a contemporary Slovenian author and her two collections of short prose: Fragma and Temna snov. Furthermore, it also considers the characteristics of women’s writing.
The Slovenian writer Mojca Kumerdej is an author of the Slovenian postmodern literature. The distinctive features of this period include heterogeneity and plurality. There are several intertwining literary tendencies, sometimes even within the same piece of writing: neorealism, post-symbolism, magic realism, neo-decadence, minimalism, and postmodernism. It is impossible to find a common name for this literatureit can only be said that the Slovenian postmodern period is a period of “Autopoetics”. The most popular literary genre among the authors from this period is short prose. The definition of short prose is extremely vague, therefore for the most part undetermined. Traditional literary theory lists several synonyms, but literary theory insists on the following type classification within short prose: short story, novella, sketch story. Literary theorists (Blanka Bošnjak) define several types of Slovenian short prose.
In the period after Slovenia\u27s independence, the prevailing tendency would be neorealism, which Mojca Kumerdej, the author of two collections of short prose, Fragma (2003) and Temna snov (2011), also subscribes to.
In her first collection, Fragma, she deals with unknown, extreme, even criminal aspects in the life of a seemingly ordinary human being. The word “fragma” is a symbol of a mental cocoon that suddenly bursts and leads to unexpected events (infanticide, suicide, sadomasochism, paedophilia and other pathological states). In terms of language and style, the texts contain colloquial and slang terms and occasional English quotations.
The author\u27s second collection, Temna snov, contains stories about the life in the modern world. The main themes include contemporary frustrations, concealed traumas, sexual abuse, crime, miracles, social exclusion, and materialism. The title Temna snov (Dark matter) symbolises hidden, concealed depths in a person, where it is only a matter of time when it all bursts into the open. The texts pose the question what is hidden behind the appearance, the seemingly tidy every-day life. The style of writing is unpretentious and communicative.
On the basis of her two collections of short prose, Mojca Kumerdej unquestionably deserves her place among the best contemporary Slovenian authors. It should be noted, however, that literary history and literary critique still do not pay enough attention to female creativity
PICTURE BOOKS WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY MOJCA OSOJNIK
Get PDFNamen moje diplomske naloge je bil predstaviti Mojco Osojnik kot avtorico in ilustratorko njenih štirih avtorskih slikanic. Ker je slikanica likovno-tekstovna celota, sem v vsaki slikanici analizirala likovni in tekstovni del. Pri besednem delu so me zanimale morfološke značilnosti besedila, pri likovnem delu sem se osredotočila na likovne značilnosti ilustracij. Podrobna analiza posameznih slikanic mi je pomagala ugotoviti, ali so moje hipoteze, ki sem jih postavila na začetku diplomskega dela, pravilne ali nepravilne.
Besedila Mojce Osojnik so pravljična, in sicer gre za kratke sodobne pravljice s poosebljeno živaljo. V teh pravljicah so glavni literarni liki poosebljene živali. V njih opazimo dvoplastnost dogajanja, ki se odvija v enem samem svetu. Irealno raven vzpostavljajo poosebljene živali, ki pa so postavljene v realni svet (sodobno okolje). Prevladuje vsevedi pripovedovalec. Besedila imajo leposlovno vsebino in poučno tematiko (na slednjo opozarjajo pregovori na koncu zgodbe)izjema je slikanica z naslovom Hiša, ki bi rada imela sonce. V tej pravljici je glavni literarni lik poosebljen predmet, zato jo štejemo pod kratko sodobno pravljico s poosebljenim predmetom. Besedila so namenjena in razumljiva otrokom, ki ne znajo brati (otrokom v predšolskem obdobju) in otrokom, ki samostojno berejo.
Da bi bolje razumela in opredelila značilnosti ilustracij Mojce Osojnik, sem dodatno analizirala tri slikanice, v katerih je Mojca le ilustratorka. Ugotovila sem, da je likovni izraz Mojce Osojnik zelo kompleksen. V svoje ilustracije rada vključuje kolaž, fotografijo in druge likovne tehnike, ki jih med seboj kombinira. Ilustracije so polne različnih prostorskih pogledov in filmskih rezov. Ilustracije dopolnjujejo in se logično vežejo na pripoved. V njih najdemo vrhunsko oblikovane rešitve, zato so zanimive tudi za odrasle. Zaradi drobnih humorističnih detajlov živih barv pa so ilustracije privlačne tudi za otroke.SUMMARY
The main aim of the assignmnet is to present Mojca Osojnik as a writer and as an illustrator of her four authorial picture books. A picture book consists of a drawing-verbal unit, so I decided to analyse both - drawing and verbal part. At the verbal part I focused my interest on morphological characteristics of the text whereas at the drawing part I centred on characteristics of the illustrations themselves. Detailed analysis of the individual picture books helped me to confirm or to reject my hypothesis.
Texts of Mojca Osojnik are fairy – they are short contemporary fairy-tales with a personified animalthe main characters are animals.
In fairy-tales of Mojca Osojnik we meet two layers of the events taking place in one single world: unreal layer is presented by personified animals which are set in the real world (modern world). So called »all-knowing« author prevails in her tales. The stories of her fairy-tales consist of instructive elements, too (we can notice them as proverbs in the end of the tales)but there is one single exception - the picture book Hiša, ki bi rada imela sonce. The main character in the last mentioned picture book is a personified object, so we classify this picture book as a short contemporary fairy-tale with a personified object. The texts are meant and intelligible for unliterate children (preschool children) as well as for literate children.
Due to better understanding and definition of the characteristics of illustrations of Mojca Osojnik, I additionally analysed three of her picture books where she appears only as an illustrator. I found out that her artistic image as an illustrator is very complex. She likes to include and combine different artistic techniques, photos and patchwork. Her illustrations are full of different space looks and film cuts. Her illustrations logically complete her stories. We can meet there brilliant solutions, that is why they are attractive for adults, too. Tiny humourous details of glaring colours drag children to admire the illustrations of Mojca Osojnik
Discursive Analysis of Self-reflective Gendered Political Activity of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Alenka Bratušek
Get PDFMagistrsko delo z naslovom Diskurzivna analiza samorefleksij spolno zaznamovane politične aktivnosti na primeru Hillary Rodham Clinton in Alenke Bratušek je v svojem jedru analiza samorefleksij politične aktivnosti, ki jih ameriška in slovenska političarka vključita v svoji (avto)biografiji. Magistrsko delo gradi na teoretskih izhodiščih nekaterih pomembnih svetovnih in slovenskih raziskovalk in raziskovalcev, ki se ukvarjajo z vprašanjem podreprezentiranosti žensk v politiki in njihovo inferiornostjo ter podrejenostjo moškim političnim kolegom. Magistrska naloga želi odgovoriti na nekaj izjemno pomembnih in perečih vprašanj, ki v 21. stoletju še vedno povezujejo politiko in spol. Prvo od teh vprašanj je, kako je mogoče da so ženske danes še vedno podreprezentirane tako v ameriški kot tudi slovenski politiki in kateri so tisti vzroki, ki povzročajo podreprezentiranost žensk v politiki. Naloga jasno predstavi ugotovitev, da so ženske v politiki še vedno velikokrat tarče seksizma in celo mizoginije, poleg tega pa so velikokrat predstavljene kot objekt političnega delovanja, in ne kot subjekt. Drugo pomembno vprašanje, s katerim se ukvarja magistrska naloga, je vprašanje moške in ženske (ne)enakosti v politiki. Na podlagi teoretičnih izhodišč in opravljenih analiz namreč ugotavljam, da so ženske v politiki še vedno podrejene in inferiorne moškim, na ta način pa jim je odvzeta možnost enakopravnega sprejemanja političnih odločitev in zasedanja pomembnih in vplivnih političnih položajev. Tretje vprašanje, s katerim se ukvarja magistrska naloga, pa je vprašanje (negativne) medijske reprezentacije političark. Tudi obe opravljeni analizi jasno prikažeta, da so mediji velikokrat izrazito negativno nastrojeni proti ženskam v politiki in se pogosto raje kot na njihove pozitivne politične odločitve osredotočajo na njihov zunanji videz in njihovo politično reprezentacijo. Magistrska naloga tako predstavi glavne in najpomembnejše težave, s katerimi se soočajo ženske v politiki, hkrati pa razmišlja tudi o spremembah, ki bi jih bilo potrebno uveljaviti v politiki, da bi dosegli čim bolj enakopravno udeleženost moških in žensk. Poleg tega naloga jasno predstavi tudi problematiko manipulativnosti politične avtobiografije kot literarnega žanra in predstavi glavne probleme, ki jih le-ta povzroča bralkam in bralcem.The MA thesis titled Discursive Analysis of Self-reflective Gendered Political Activity of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Alenka Bratušek is fundamentally an analysis of self-reflective political activity, which are introduced by the American and Slovene politician in their (auto)biographies. The paper is based on the theoretical predispositions and findings of some of the important Slovenian and world-renowned researchers of gender inequality and inferiority in politics. The paper explicitly shows that gender inequality and inferiority of women is still a major problem in politics, together with underrepresentation of women and their subordination to their male colleagues. The aim of the paper is therefore to explore a number of questions related to the issues of politics and gender in the 21st century. The first question is, how it is possible that women are still so massively underrepresented in both American and Slovene politics, and what are the major problems that are causing the underrepresentation of women. The paper clearly suggests that women in politics are nowadays often victims of sexism and even misogyny as well as presented as a political object rather than a political subject. The second question is the issue of male and female (in)equality in politicsnamely, how men and women have still not achieved equal status when it comes to their political activity. In my analysis I realise that women in politics are still perceived as inferior and subordinate to men and hence they do not have the possibility of making important political decisions as well as occupying important political positions. The third question the paper tackles is the question of (negative) representation of female politicians in the media. The analyses of both self-reflections clearly showed that media frequently perceive female politicians differently from male politicians and that they usually use negative comments to introduce their political activity. In addition, the media usually focus on the appearance of women and their potentially negative political history, rather than positive their political decisions and actions. In addition to presenting the most common problems which women face in politics, the paper also aims at elicidating the potential solutions that might ensure the equality of men and women in politics. Moreover, the paper presents the problem of political autobiography as an extremely manipulative genre and emphasises the major problems which readers of such autobiographies might face during their reading
SATISFACTION OF EMPLOYEES IN THE OLD PEOPLES HOME
Get PDFŽivimo v času, ko se delovne organizacije srečujejo z eksistenčnimi težavami in so vodstva podjetij dokaj omejena pri številnih dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na zadovoljstvo zaposlenih. Domovi upokojencev so javni zavodi, delno financirani s strani države, del dohodka pa si ustvarjajo sami, s plačevanjem oskrbnine uporabnikov. Zaposleni delajo s starostniki, ki v naši družbi predstavljajo občutljivo in nezaščiteno skupinodelo je težko fizično in psihično. Če hočejo zaposleni zagotoviti vedno zahtevnejše storitve zdravstvene nege in zadovoljiti vedno zahtevnejše potrebe starostnikov in njihovih svojcev ter si na podlagi visoko kvalitetnega dela ustvariti konkurenčnost med isto dejavnimi zavodi, mora biti kader profesionalen, prijazen, ustrežljiv ter strokoven, kar pa od zaposlenih terja veliko energije. Zvesti in zadovoljni zaposleni se bodo na delovnem mestu počutili dobro, ustrezni pogoji za delo in osebni razvoj pa se bodo odražali v še kvalitetnejših storitvah in še boljšem odnosu do strank. V diplomski nalogi smo ugotavljali zadovoljstvo oz. nezadovoljstvo s sistemom in obstoječo organizacijo dela v zavodu ter vlogo, ki jo imajo zaposleni. Na osnovi analize ankete smo ugotovili, da je stanje zadovoljstva zaposlenih v zavodu na dokaj zadovoljivi ravni. Glede na to, da je bila raziskava opravljena v času recesije in vladnih varčevalnih ukrepov, ki posegajo v dosedanje pravice in ugodnosti zaposlenih, so rezultati še toliko bolj razveseljivi. Veseli nas, da zavod v večini zaposluje ljudi, ki se zavedajo in čutijo odgovornost tako do storitev kot do uporabnikov. Del zaslug za visok nivo zadovoljstva zaposlenih verjetno lahko pripišemo vodstvu, s katerim so zaposleni izjemno zadovoljni. Pričakovano je bilo nezadovoljstvo s plačili in nagrajevanjem, vendar je ob tem vseeno razveseljiv podatek, da to nezadovoljstvo zaenkrat ne pušča posledic pri odnosu do dela.We live in a time, that faces work organisations with existential issues and the corporate executives are fairly limited with numerous factors, influencing employee satisfaction. Retirement homes are public institutions, partly financed by government, partly by creating their own income by obtaining user-care fees. Staff deals with the elderly, who represent a vulnerable and exposed part of our society, therefore the work has proven physically and mentally challenging. Working conditions are difficult. If staff is to ensure the increasing demand for health care and to meet the increasingly demanding needs of the elderly and their kin, and at the same time ensure themselves competitiveness among other similarly targeted organisations, based on high-quality services, staff must behave in a professional, kind, obliging and expert manor that drains a great deal of energy. Loyal and satisfied employees are bound to feel good at their workplace, appropriate working conditions and personal growth will therefore be reflected in higher quality services and an even enhanced attitude toward clientele. In this thesis we studied the level of satisfaction regarding the system and human resources management in the organisation and the role employees play in this organisation. By analysing the conducted survey, we observed that staff is quite satisfied and the results are especially satisfactory whwn taken into consideration that the survey was conducted in time of the global recession and during government saving measures in the public sector. We are pleased that the institute employs mostly competent and responsible staff. Leadership can take part of the credit for a highly estimated level of satisfaction, due to general opinion. Althrough we expected the staff to be dissatisfied about the less pay and reward policy, we observe that the economical aspect is not jet reflected on the attitude towards work
Institutional policies addressing sexual harassment of people enrolled in higher education programmes
No full textV magistrski nalogi razpravljam o zakonitostih spolnega nadlegovanja v visokošolskem izobraževanju in izkustveni realnosti njegove pojavnosti v tem prostoru. Razsežnosti pojava spolnega nadlegovanja utemeljim z njegovo umestitvijo v širše družbeno-kulturno okolje, upoštevajoč razsežnosti (re)produkcije razmerij družbene moči med povzročiteljem in žrtvijo ter tudi vprašanje spola in spolnih razlik. V nalogi obravnavam tudi pravni okvir, ki v Sloveniji ureja problematiko spolnega nadlegovanja oseb, vpisanih v programe visokošolskega izobraževanja. Utemeljila sem pravna določila, ki zavezujejo državo, vodstvo visokošolskih zavodov, visokošolske učitelje, druge visokošolske sodelavce in tudi osebe, vpisane v programe visokošolskega izobraževanja, da pri svojem delovanju zagotavljajo varno študijsko okolje brez spolnega nadlegovanja. V nadaljevanju magistrske naloge odgovorim na vprašanje, s katerimi oblikami ukrepanja, mehanizmi pomoči in samopomoči lahko visokošolski zavodi urejajo problematiko spolnega nadlegovanja, in oblikujem nekaj priporočil, ki lahko visokošolskim zavodom predstavljajo izhodišče načrtovanja ter implementacije politik in protokolov za obravnavanje problematike spolnega nadlegovanja. Sledi predstavitev izsledkov raziskave, v kateri sem preverila stanje na članicah Univerze v Ljubljani glede institucionalnih ureditev s področja naslavljanja in preprečevanja spolnega nadlegovanja oseb, vpisanih v programe visokošolskega izobraževanja.The thesis discusses the legitimacy of sexual harassment in higher education and the experiential reality of its occurrence in this space. The dimensions of the phenomenon of sexual harassment are justified by situating it in a broader socio-cultural setting, taking into account the dimensions of (re)production of social power relations between the perpetrator and the victim, as well as the issue of gender and sexual difference. The thesis also discusses the legal framework that regulates the issue of sexual harassment of persons enrolled in higher education programmes in Slovenia. I have substantiated the legal and formal provisions that oblige the state, the management of higher education institutions, higher education teachers, other higher education staff and persons enrolled in higher education programmes to ensure a safe study environment free of sexual harassment. In the following part of the thesis, I answer the question of what forms of action, support and self-help mechanisms can be used by higher education institutions to address sexual harassment, and make some recommendations that can provide a starting point for higher education institutions to plan and implement policies and protocols in this field. Within the following section I present the results of research in which I examined the situation at the University of Ljubljana in terms of institutional arrangements for addressing and preventing sexual harassment of persons enrolled in higher education programmes
CORRELATION BETWEEN SIZE OF COMPANY AND MEASURABLE ATTRIBUTES OF EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISEMENT
Get PDFVsi zaposlitveni oglasi imajo skupen cilj — seznaniti čim več ljudi in pritegniti pravega kandidata za prosto delovno mesto. Z dobrim zaposlitvenim oglasom lahko bistveno vplivamo na uspešnost oglasa, ki je odvisna od njegove oblike in vsebine. Oglasi morajo biti čim bolj izvirni in vpadljivi, da pritegnejo pozornost potencialnih kandidatov. Dober oglas in primeren kandidat za zaposlitev sta namreč močno povezana.
V diplomskem delu smo raziskali, kakšna je povezava med velikostjo podjetja in merljivimi atributi zaposlitvenega oglasa. Velikost podjetja smo določili glede na število zaposlenih v podjetju. Atributi, ki smo jih vključili v raziskavo, so površina, cena, barve, število ponovitev in število prijav na zaposlitveni oglas.
Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov, teoretičnega in raziskovalnega. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili tržno komuniciranje, nato smo podrobneje opisali oglaševanje in odnose z javnostmi. Opisali smo, kako se oglaševanje uporablja tudi kot oblika vabljenja potencialnih kandidatov za zaposlitev. Na koncu smo opredelili zaposlitvene oglase. Z njimi podjetje komunicira z javnostmi, daje vedeti, da živi, raste in zaposluje.
Raziskovalni del je bil namenjen analiziranju podatkov in teoriji, ki je bila pomembna za razumevanje raziskave. Podatke, ki smo jih pridobili s pomočjo preučevanja zaposlitvenih oglasov in anketnega vprašalnika, smo statistično obdelali s pomočjo programa SPSS in Microsoft Excel. Pri testiranju hipotez smo ugotovili, da med velikostjo podjetja in atributi zaposlitvenih oglasov obstaja pozitivna odvisnost. Odstopal je le atribut število ponovitev zaposlitvenega oglasa, kjer je raziskava pokazala, da povezanost ne obstaja. Najvišja povezanost se je pokazala med spremenljivkama velikost podjetja in število prijav na zaposlitveni oglas. Ugotovili smo tudi visoko povezanost med velikostjo podjetja in površino, ceno ter številom barv v zaposlitvenem oglasu. Testirali smo tudi, kakšna je povezava med samimi atributi. Ponovno je izstopal atribut število ponovitev zaposlitvenega oglasa, saj je analiza pokazala, da med njim in površino, ceno, bravo obstaja negativna odvisnost. Med številom ponovitev in številom prijav na zaposlitveni oglas pa povezave ni.
Pogledali smo si tudi, katere medije podjetja največ uporabljajo za oglaševanje. Analiza podatkov je pokazala, da podjetja za oglaševanje zaposlitvenih oglasov poleg časopisov največ uporabljajo internet. Za najmanj uporabljen medij pa sta se pokazala radio in TV sprejemnik.All employment ads have a common objective – inform as many people as possible and attract the right candidate for the free position of employment. With a good employment add we can have a significant influence on the success of the ad. The success depends on the ad’s form and content. The ads must be original and attractive in order to draw attention of potential candidates. A good ad and an appropriate candidate for the position of employment are actually strongly connected.
In the thesis we researched the connection between the size of the company and the measurable attributes of the employment ad. The size of the company was determined on the basis of number of employees. The attributes that were included in the research were the following: surface, price, colors, number of repetitions and number of applications per employment ad.
The thesis consists of two parts, the theoretical part and the research. In the theoretical part we presented marketing communication. Then we described advertising and public relations in details. We described how to use the advertising as a form of inviting potential employment candidates. In the end we defined employment ads. They are used by companies to communicate with the publics, to let them know, that they live, grow and employ.
The research part was intended for the analysis of the data and the theory, which was important for the understanding of the research. The data, that we acquired by studying employment ads and questionnaire, was statistically processed with the help of the SPSS and Microsoft Excel programs. At testing of the hypotheses we established that there is a positive dependence between the size of the company and the attributes of employment ads. The only deviating attribute was the number of repetitions of the ad, where the research showed that there is no connection. The highest connection occurred between the variables company size and number of applications per employment ad. We also established a connection between the size of the company and the surface, price and number of colors in the employment ad. We also tested the connection between the attributes themselves. Again, the attribute “number of repetitions of employment ad” stood out, as the analysis showed that there is a negative dependence of this attribute with the surface, price and color of the ad. There were no connections between the number of repetitions and the number of applications to the employment ad.
We also examined which media is most used for the advertising. The data analysis showed that the companies placing an employment add mostly use newspapers and internet. The least used media are the radio and the television
MANAGING OLDER EMPLOYEES IN LARGE ENTERPRISES IN SLOVENIA
Get PDFMagistrsko delo z naslovom Ravnanje s starejšimi zaposlenimi v velikih podjetjih v Sloveniji je sestavljeno iz dveh delov.
V prvem delu je opisano teoretično izhodišče, v katerem je predstavljena problematika staranja prebivalstva. Omenjen pojav prinaša veliko posledic − od pomanjkanja delovnega prebivalstva, spreminjanja pogojev upokojevanja, politike zaposlovanja, večjih izdatkov države na področju financiranja pokojnin in zdravstvene oskrbe, kot tudi do sprememb na ravni posameznika ter podjetij. Opredelili smo tudi starejšega delavca, kjer smo izpostavili stopnjo delovne aktivnosti starejših delavcev, njihove lastnosti ter zaposlovanje in pravni okvir zaposlovanja starejših delavcev. V teoretičnem delu smo izpostavili tudi ukrepe, namenjene starejšim delavcem, ki jih uveljavlja Republika Slovenija, in management starostnikov ter vidike upravljanja s starejšimi delavci.
V drugem, empiričnem delu magistrskega dela smo predstavili raziskavo, s pomočjo katere smo preučevali ravnanje s starejšimi zaposlenimi v velikih podjetjih v Sloveniji, glede na pogostost izvajanja posameznih vidikov upravljanja s starejšimi delavci.
Ugotovili smo, da imajo podjetja največji delež zaposlenih, starih med 30 in 44 let. Najmanjši delež zaposlenih pa predstavljajo zaposleni, stari od 29 let in starejši zaposleni. Rezultati so pokazali, da prevladujejo podjetja, ki zaposlujejo med 5 % in 20 % starejših zaposlenih. Največ starejših zaposlenih ima poklicno ali srednješolsko izobrazbo ali manj. Lastnosti, s katerimi anketirana podjetja opisujejo starejše zaposlene, so: veliko delovnih izkušenj, pripadnost in lojalnost delodajalcu ter delu, modrost in razum ter strokovno znanje. Lastnosti, za katere pa podjetja mislijo, da niso značilne za starejše zaposlene, so: dobro znanje tujih jezikov, visoka produktivnost in visoka motiviranost za učenje.
Ugotovili smo tudi, da podjetja v povprečju najbolj pogosto izvajajo ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na analize v podjetju ter prenosu znanja, prerazporeditev starejših in karierni razvojsledijo jim ukrepi, ki se nanašajo na upravljanje z zdravjem na delovnem mestu in izobraževanje ter usposabljanje v podjetju. Povprečno najmanj pogosto pa sodelujoča podjetja v raziskavi izvajajo ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na reorganizacijo delovnega postopka, prožni delovni čas in kulturo ter odnos v podjetju.The Master’s thesis, titled Management of older human resources in larger companies in Slovenia, consists of two parts.
The first part describes the theoretical origin, where the issue of population aging is presented. This phenomenon has several consequences, reaching from the lack of active population, alteration of the conditions for retirement, employment policy, larger state expenditures for the financing of pensions and health care to changes at the level of the individual or company.
We also defined the concept of the older worker, where we emphasized the level of performance of older workers, their characteristics and employment features and the legal aspects of the employment of older workers.

In the second, empirical part of the thesis we presented the research with which we analysed the management of older human resources in larger companies in Slovenia regarding the execution frequency of individual approaches of older human resources management.
We found that the majority of employees in companies are aged from 33 to 44 years. The lowest rate of employees represent employees, aged up to 29 years and older employees. The results showed that companies, that are employing from 5 to 20% of older employees, prevail. The majority of employees have a vocational or secondary education or bellow.
