Abstract

Today, it is necessary for each individual to obtain the abilities of using modern computer techniques in order to lead an independent and creative professional and social life. The area of Teachers' Computer and Internet Literacy in Slovenia hasn’t been researched much yet. We have come out of the research problem that despite fostering ICT and EU investment in digital literacy of teachers, they are still not enough qualified for the use of ICT. In this article we have written the results from a research of teachers’ computer and internet Literacy. In theoretical part, we have presented the observation of different kinds of literacy in EU and initiatives to increase Computer and internet Literacy. In the empirical part of work, we have concentrated on the research of Computer and Internet Literacy of teachers at primary schools. In the survey that we have done among primary school teachers, we have compared the obtained data from the survey with Eurostat data. The analysed data was whit the programme for statistical analysis, statistically analysed. At the end of our work, we set guidelines for further research with a new method.

The results obtained in this study are in agreement with those of other authors, who noted the short-term positive effect of job loss risk and its destructive longitudinal effect. These results provide a positive answer to the question: longterm exposure to the employee's job insecurity leads to poor emotional attitude towards the job and lowering their work performance, as evidenced by the dynamics of the energy indicator
For the recipient country to benefit from the investment, the foreign investor must provide a sufficient number of jobs, employee salaries following the principle of marketability, and that the business generated by the investment is not predominantly export-oriented

Summary

Introduction

Research on workplace attitudes is one of the most common topics in organizational psychology. Judge and Kammeyer-Mueller (2012) define attitude toward work as a personal evaluation of work that expresses feelings towards work, beliefs and connection to work. These three components determine a person's workplace behavior and productivity. Vukšić (2005) analysed the impact of FDI on Croatian product exports and concluded that FDI has a positive effect on export, but on a relatively small scale. He finds that export-oriented greenfield projects would improve exports within the manufacturing industry in Croatia. The investment, other than financial means, can be expressed through technical or managerial expertise
