Study Regarding Communication and Styles of Approaching Conflict in Athletes
No full textAbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the assertive, aggressive, manipulative and nonassertive communication styles and the five styles of approaching conflict: gain-loss, loss-leave, loss-stay, compromise and the gain-gain style, in athletes and non-practitioners. The analysis of data highlights significant differences under a statistical report for the aggressive communication style and for the gain-loss style used to solve conflicts. The 36 subjects who practice sports in which the report between the athletes is with direct contact – karate, kempo, taekwondo, handball, football – have shown an aggressive attitude and a gain-loss approach of solving conflicts, compared with the 36 non-practitioners
The Personality and Resilience of Competitive Athletes as BMW Drivers—Data from India, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain
No full textBackground: Individual differences in personality and resilience are related to a variety of social behaviors. The current study sought to answer the question of whether BMW drivers exhibit different personality profiles and resilience levels compared with drivers of other car brands. Participants and procedure: An international study was carried out in India, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain on a sample of 448 athletes using the 20-item Mini-IPIP and the Resilience Scale. The results of BMW drivers (n = 91) were compared with the results of drivers of other German car brands (n = 357). Results: BMW drivers were characterized by higher neuroticism compared with drivers of other German car brands. They also showed higher resiliency, both in terms of total score and scores on the subscales of: personal coping competences and tolerance of negative emotions, tolerance of failures and perceiving life as a challenge, and optimistic attitude towards life and capacity for self-mobilization in difficult situations. The greatest difference was observed for the factor of tolerance of failures and perceiving life as a challenge. Using the Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner (DSCF) pairwise comparison test, gender differences between athletes (as BMW drivers and drivers of other German car brands, respectively) were discussed. Additionally, the results of the main logistic regression analyses emphasized that neuroticism represents a better predictor of BMW preference in the case of athletes (as drivers) than the scores obtained for resilience. Conclusions: BMW drivers differed from drivers of other German car brands only with regard to neuroticism. A higher level of neuroticism can affect mental health and the overall quality of life in athletes; aggression and distress management are essential. Athletes (as BMW drivers) also showed differences in resiliency levels. Understanding the mechanisms of behavior among BMW drivers is possible through considering their personality and individual differences

Supervizija u psihosocijalnom radu
No full textRapid development psychological work in Croatia has been left without satisfactory theoretical backup. That is particulary visible in some elements, especially in supervision. The aim of this article is description and critical analyse of the basic characteristics of supervision: review of historical supervision development, terminology, functions and goals in recent understanding. Article reviews definitions of supervision which came out in last ten years. Supervision is here related to psychosocial work which author locates whitin wider frame of social work. With phases of supervision process and different classifications of supervision author wants to induce further discussion on supervision as crucial part of every helping activity.Nagli razvoj psihosocijalnog rada u Hrvatskoj ostao je cljelomično bez zadovoljavajuće teorijske pratnje. Osobito je to vidljivo u nekim elementima od kojih je medu najvažnijim supervizija odnosno njezina teorijska podloga. Cilj je rada opis i kritička analiza temeljnih obilježja supervizijeput.empregleda povijesnog razvoja supervizije, terminološkog određenja kao i funkcija i ciljeva supervizije u suvremenim shvaćanjima. U radu se daje pregled definicija supervizije nastalih tijekom posljednjih deset godina. Supervizija se u radu ponajprije dovodi u vezu sa psihosocijalnim radom koji autor locira unutar šireg okvira socijalnog rada.

UGOVOR O RADU NA ODREĐENO VREME U NEMAČKOM PRAVU
No full textIn this paper, the author analyzes the fixed-term employment contract in German law highlighting the importance of this contract in a flexible employment environment. However, making a fixed-term employment contract is considered to be an exception, thus the objective reason which justifies its use is established in German law. This indicates that a fixed-term employment contract is a desirable means for creating an employment relationship only if the conditions provided by law are met. Therefore, the conditions under which the fixed-term contract can be used, the number of renewals and the maximum length of the total duration are mentioned. Additionally, the paper presents ‘legislative history’ of the fixed-term employment contract after its conceptual definition. At the end, the author points to the prohibition of discrimination against atypical employees stating that those employees must not have any less rights compared to the rest of the employees working for the same employer, especially those with the standard employment contract.U radu autorka analizira ugovor o radu na određeno vreme u nemačkom pravu ukazujući na značaj koji taj ugovor ima u fleksibilnom radnopravnom okruženju. Ipak, zaključivanje ugovora o radu na određeno vreme se smatra izuzetkom, zbog čega se u nemačkom pravu izgrađuje princip objektivnog razloga koji opravdava njegovu upotrebu. To znači da se ugovor o radu na određeno vreme smatra poželjnim instrumentom za zasnivanje radnog odnosa samo ako su za to ispunjeni zakonom predviđeni uslovi. Otuda se u radu navode dopušteni slučajevi, ograničenja u korišćenju ugovora o radu kroz limitiranje broja sukcesivnih ugovora i maksimalne dužine ukupnog trajanja ugovora. U radu se prikazuje i „legislativna istorija” ugovora o radu na određeno vreme, nakon njegovog pojmovnog određenja. Na samom kraju se ukazuje na zabranu diskriminacije atipičnih zaposlenih koji ne smeju uživati manje prava u poređenju sa drugim zaposlenima kod poslodavca, posebno onim sa standardnim ugovorom o radu
