The Dualistic Nature of the Competence of Civil-Military Administrations: On the Formulation of the Problem

The article highlights the controversial issues of executive branch dualism in Ukraine and highlights the problems of the dualistic nature of the competence of civil-military administrations. It is noted that since the proclamation of Ukraine’s independence and up to now, political and legal discussions have been taking place around the problems of executive power organization. It is emphasized that the origins of the problem of executive dualism should be sought from the formation of the system of public authorities in Ukraine in the 90s of the twentieth century. During this period, there was a rather complicated political struggle and a search for the most optimal model of building a system of state authorities, which certainly affected the construction of the executive branch, and gave rise to a number of problems related to the dualism of power. The author emphasizes that the problems of dualism in the sphere of higher authorities have caused the same problems in the system of executive authorities and their relations with other types of public authorities, in particular, with local self-government bodies. The author analyzes and summarizes the problems in the field of relations between local public authorities (local executive authorities and local self-government bodies) and identifies the following: conceptual problems of delimitation of powers between certain executive authorities and local self-government bodies, legal problems of delimitation of powers between certain executive authorities and local self-government bodies; institutional problems. It is emphasized that dualism was also observed in the course of functioning of civil-military administrations, although in this case it was of a slightly different nature, which is due to the special legal status of the latter. The author identifies the peculiarities of such dualism. The author emphasizes the need to improve the legal framework for the functioning of civil-military administrations, to carry out institutional changes (search for a model, structure, etc.), to organize work, to apply new forms and methods of management, and to conduct further scientific research.

Investigating the Impact Of Organizational Climate On Organizational Silence In Higher Education Institutions

A favourable organizational climate is vital for the effective functioning of organizations, as it promotes the exchange of knowledge and information in the team, develops the competencies of employees, motivates them to manage the organization, predicting that they will express themselves and respond to problems in the working environment and beyond. Organizational silence is a term used to denote the phenomenon of collective behavior of employees when they do not want to discuss their thoughts, feelings and organizational problems, express their suggestions during meetings, hide information about potential difficulties or challenges, etc. Organizational silence can lead to “suppression of the collective voice”, limited communication from the bottom up, a decrease in the level of corporate involvement of employees, the effectiveness of organizational changes, the emergence of explicit or latent organizational conflicts, deformations in the organizational culture and inhibition of decision-making dynamics. The article, based on the example of the University of Setif2, Algeria, examines how the teachers of this university evaluate the organizational climate in their team, whether they feel the presence of the problem of organizational silence and at what level, whether there is a relationship between the corporate environment and organizational silence, and to what extent they influence each other. On one, what factors of the organizational climate can affect the reduction of organizational silence. The basis of the study was a survey of 50 teachers from various departments of the university in 2021: a simple random sample, the questionnaire contains 39 items, and a Likert scale was used for assessing the responses; the Cronbach’s alpha scale has been utilized to determine the scales’ reliability. SPSS version 26 software was used for data analysis, frequency analysis, simple regression, multiple regression, descriptive statistics, and stepwise multiple regression. The results showed a moderate relationship between organizational climate and organizational silence (the partial correlation coefficient of organizational climate is 0.708). In addition, it has been proven that the organisational environment influences organizational silence, not vice versa. Leadership turned out to be the most significant of the investigated determinants of the organizational climate (leadership, organizational structure, working conditions, participation in decision-making, and communication), which allows for reducing organizational silence. The leader’s behaviour plays a vital role in mitigating the negative consequences of organizational silence, can strengthen employees’ trust, and strengthen their sense of identification or attachment to their organizations. Communication has the most significant influence, and organizational structure has the most minor influence of all the determinants of organizational climate. The article studied two types of organizational silence: submissive silence and defensive silence, and the first was more significant from teachers’ perceptions than the second. The results of this study can be helpful in the management of universities and other educational institutions to adapt the current organizational structure, create conditions for direct dialogue between management and employees, help more active agents of positive change, increase the overall level of decision-making efficiency, create more opportunities for teachers to take on themselves more responsible, improve working conditions in universities, etc.

Настройка климатического финансирования: итоги СОР28

The purpose of the study is to systematize the main directions of the discussion that unfolded at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai in November-December 2023 on the need to reform the financial mechanism of the UN climate convention. The relevance of this study is based on the fact that today the conditions have been formed to intensify Russia’s participation in the discussion at the international level on the goals and objectives of climate and sustainable finance, as there is growing dissatisfaction with the aggressive policy of developed countries trying to solve their development problems, including by distorting and replacing the global agenda previously agreed by the majority of the world's countries on the UN platform. The main conclusion of the study is as follows. When considering the problems of organization of both the climate finance mechanism and the sustainable finance mechanism in the context of the organization and functioning of the Technology Mechanism (UNFCCC) and the Technology Facilitation Mechanism (UN 2030 Agenda), embedded in the current discussion on the need to reform the financial mechanism of the UN climate convention, many issues related to the incorrectness, inconsistency and divergence of these concepts at the level of different countries can be effectively addressed by the UNFCCC. Returning the consideration of both climate and sustainable finance to the context of technological modernization tasks solved by society (as originally defined in the UN documents) will make it possible to return the process of transition of countries to a new sustainable development model to the original direction; to get rid of manipulations and substitution of concepts used by a group of developed countries; to reach consensus among all Parties to the Convention.

대한민국 행정의 기능부전과 국가의 책임

Even after the COVID-19 crisis of the past few years, a schematic process has been repeated in the follow-up to disasters in Korea, from the Itaewon tragedy in 2022 to various incidents and accidents in 2023. This process has been called the so-called ‘politics of disaster’, which emphasizes the political and social conflicts surrounding disasters rather than the results of analyzing the causes of disasters and preparing responses. An accompanying feature of the politics of disaster is that the issue of responsibility(Verantwortung) emerges almost immediately, without the proper legal investigation of the cause being finalized. Here, liability is not strictly legal, especially in the sense used in public law. On the other hand, in the post-disaster process in Korean society, the term responsibility is used less as an academic concept and more in a political context, as a kind of consequential responsibility that requires the resignation of public officials as a moral obligation to repair the accident. The problem is that this political responsibility ultimately becomes irrelevant to the original purpose of the debate, which is to identify the causes of the disaster and develop countermeasures. If a disaster has caused and escalated damage, it should be analyzed in terms of the structural failure of the public administration to fulfill its duty to protect the safety of the public. In other words, the dysfunction of the public administration is the primary cause of the disaster. In this study, we first analyze the dysfunction of public administration and its causes, examine the legal theory of liability, and explore legislative and policy alternatives using the 25th World Scout Jamboree In Saemangeum as the subject of this paper. First, I reviewed the organizational theory of Niklas Luhmann, who developed various theories on the problems of administrative organizations as a tool for problem analysis. With reference to Luhmann's work, I examined the German theories of Steering Theory(Steuerungstheorie) and Legal Pluralism as legal alternatives. As legal issues, I examined the replacement of agency heads, administrative unity, the problem of corruption in the process of cooperation with the private sector, and the problem of the structure of the administrative committee. The existing legal practice for administrative dysfunction and failure to respond to disasters is to pursue strict liability through criminal trials and state compensation. However, such an approach is difficult to expect practical effects due to differences in in the law of responsibility in each area, and side effects are also concerned. The public law theory of liability, which is based on the law of state compensation claims, can be presented as an alternative. In a recent case on 9th emergency measures (Supreme Court Case 2018Da212610), the Supreme Court no longer considers the individual participation of public officials, but rather evaluates a series of state actions as a whole in a way that recognizes the organizational culpability of the state as a whole. As a result, the theory of State Compensation Act should be reconstructed from the subjective negligence and responsibility of individual public officials as far as possible to a theory of public law liability, which consists of the self-responsibility of the state itself. Finally, this article emphasized the importance of the role distribution between the executive and the legislative branch, and the deliberative legislative process as a legislative strategy to enhance public law liability for the phenomenon of administrative dysfunction. The state's responsibility for administrative dysfunction in preparation for disasters is clear. However, reducing it to individual responsibility requires caution.

Evaluation of Mechanisms’ Effectiveness of State Regulation of Innovative Activity

Main problem: Rapidly changing trends in development of economies of countries require a rational approach to state regulation of innovative activity and investments directed to organization of real sector of the economy. At the same time, for analysis of modern state policy in the system of innovative development, it is necessary to assess the effectiveness of state regulation mechanisms of innovative activity in the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Purpose: to assess mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan in the global competitiveness system. Methods: synthesis, content analysis, accommodation, monographic method, factor analysis, economic and statistical research method. Results and their significance: The assessment of the mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan in the global competitiveness system allowed to fully assess effectiveness of mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the economy. Examining the sub-indices of international rating of the World Economic Forum for 2021-2022 in relation to 2017-2018, the authors came to conclusion that in Kazakhstan today there is the decrease in all the sub-indices of rating and their factors (“basic requirements” and “business complexity”), with exception of “innovation” sub-index. This sub-index was significantly reduced due to a sharp deterioration in macroeconomic environment, which is directly related, according to the authors, to significant losses in oil export revenues. This, in turn, affected the deterioration of the state budget indicators. The article pays special attention to place and role of state regulation of innovative activity in the socio-economic policy of the country. Organizational and methodological problems in development and implementation of innovative policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan are researched in detail, which makes it necessary to solve them in order to achieve the effectiveness of innovative policy at the regional and national levels.

The Relationship Between Resilience and the Intention to Leave Among Staff Nurses at Governmental Hospitals in the Al-Baha Region of Saudi Arabia.

Background Nurses with high intent to leave can cause substantial problems for healthcare organizations, such as staffing shortages and higher expenses due to hiring and onboarding new nurses. In light of the increasing demands placed on nurses in understaffed and overloaded healthcare systems, nurses frequently face various pressures and difficulties in their field of work, including high workloads, irregular hours, complicated patients, and infectious disease exposure; resilience is critical for handling stress and hardship at work. Nurses will thus retain their jobs for longer. This study aimed to determine the relationship between resilience and the intention to leave among staff nurses. Methods This study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional correlation design. It comprised three Saudi Ministry of Health-affiliated facilities in the Al-Baha region(King Fahad Hospital, Prince Mashari Hospital, and Mikhwah General Hospital). The study sample comprised nurses employed in critical areas and inpatientand outpatient hospital departments using convenience sampling and inclusion and exclusion criteria. An online questionnaire involving three sections was given out.The first part collected sociodemographic data, the second part included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC-25), and the third included the Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS). Results This study found a moderate degree of intention to leave and resilience. Most participants in the survey held a bachelor's degree (75.8%), and around 87.1% of the sample consisted of women. About half of the sample (57.2%) were married; 67.6% of the participants were not Saudi nationals; and regarding the number of children, the majority (53.8%) were childless. Overall, 318 nurses working in acute and outpatient departments and critical regions participated. According to the study, 73.3% of the participants reported a moderate intention to quit, whereas 50.9% had moderate resilience. Similarly, a significant negative relationship was found between nurses' intention to leave and resilience. Conclusions In the current study, resilience has a statistically significant negative relationship with the nurses' intention to leave. Hospital management must consider the amount of work and the excessive work schedule to reduce nurses' intentions to leave. One way to do this is by assigning tasks to employees, minimizing their workload through flexible work schedules and shorter duty hours, and fostering teamwork among coworkers by ensuring clear communication and cooperation. Interventions like orientation programs for new nurses, regular meetings, seminars, and training sessions can improve nurse resilience.

Hybrid multi-criteria decision making approach proposal for evaluating workloads of aircraft maintenance technicians.

Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) have the most difficulty in terms of total workload criteria working in line maintenance. This is a very important problem for the Aircraft Maintenance Organization. A systematic and scientific approach is required for its solution. This study proposes a new Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) based approach to evaluating the total workloads of AMTs to identify the most challenging AMT tasks in the aircraft maintenance organization. A new hybrid MCDM approach is proposed by integrating the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity (TOPSIS) methods to compare AMTs on the basis of workloads according to license categories. The hybrid method proposed in this study evaluates the total workload under three main titles: mental, physical, and environmental workload. Focusing on AMTs working in line maintenance of an aircraft maintenance organization, this study revealed that the most important workload criteria determined by the DEMATEL method are lower back strain, upper back strain, time pressure, and air temperature criteria. The results of the TOPSIS method showed that the license categories of AMTs are sorted according to the workloads as follows: A, B2, B1, and B1 + B2. The AMTs holding a "Category A" license have fewer workloads than the other categories. The findings of the study reveal some measures that might allow authorities to minimize the workload of AMTs. In addition, the study contributes to the literature because there are few studies that systematically analyze total workloads by using MCDM methods.

Health professional’s experiences during stroke care: a focus group study in Greece

Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate HPs experiences during stroke care and the way health services providing stroke care in Greece are organized. Materials and Methods This is an exploratory qualitative study with inter-professional focus groups. Nurses and physicians working in various Greek stroke care units were purposively sampled. Results Two focus groups’ interviews with nurses (n=5) and physicians (n=6) were conducted. In relation to the factors that affect stroke care provided by HPs, the covid pandemic, the management of time and patient, and the role of informal carers in the hospital were identified. Positive challenges that help HPs in their work with stroke patients included the quality of collaboration, self-resilience and the patient as a source of power. Regarding difficulties encountered by HPs during stroke care, organizational problems and educational deficiencies were highlighted. Suggestions to improve current clinical practice included education and collaboration among HPs, the need for a specialized stroke team and financial support. Conclusions Awareness concerning the stroke patient’s rehabilitation process after hospital discharge is highly supported by all HPs. The need for HPs specialized education on stroke care and funding for stroke unit structures in hospitals is essential for improving quality of services.

Can the behavioral agency model refine a standard agency theory?

Purpose — The existence of agency problems is widely recognized in various academic fields. Nevertheless, as argued by many scholars, agency theory has obvious shortcomings both theoretically and empirically. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the conventional Standard Agency Theory (SAT) and the Behavioral Agency Model (BAM) as a refined framework of an agency model.Method — The methods used for this study were descriptive analysis, involving the review and comparison of the work of Wiseman & Gomez-Mejia (1998) and Pepper & Gore (2015). The technique employed and proposed for this method is to analyze and compare the relevant elements between SAT and BAM.Result — It is found that BAM can provide a better framework for modifying and understanding such agency problems in organizations, particularly in terms of human factors, organization, and information assumptions that are considered to balance the roles of the principal and the agent as actors in the organization.Contribution — This study contributes to the body of knowledge by refining the old and conventional standard agency theory (SAT) and introducing BAM as a new concept. BAM sheds light not only on the roles of actors and organizations but also on the application of a behavioral economics approach to provide a robust and rigorous method for analyzing "agency problems" in organizations, especially in private business families around the world.

Samara Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia in 1985–1998: adaptation ways in the context of reforms

This article examines the ways and means of adaptation of the Samara (Kuibyshev) regional organisation of the All-Russian creative public organisation «Union of Artists of Russia» to social transformations in 1985–1998. It is noted that in the years of «perestroika» artists positively perceived democratic changes in the country, which they understood as freedom of creativity and new opportunities for self-presentation. Such problems of the regional organisation of artists as insufficient funding and poor material and technical support are revealed. Relations with the authorities at this stage were ambivalent. Criticism of passivity of party and Soviet authorities in providing the needs of the branch was accompanied by requests for material support. The termination of the Union of Artists of the USSR, centralised funding and state regulation of culture in the early 1990s caused the transformation of regional creative unions. The uncertain status and unstable economic situation of the creative organisation during the period of market reforms in Russia had a negative impact on its image. It is noted that both individual artists and the organisation as a whole used various social practices to adapt to the realities of the market economy. It is proved that, despite financial and organisational difficulties, the Samara Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia managed to overcome «disorder and vacillation», to preserve its unity and restore its role in the artistic life of the Samara Region.

ANMCO/SIC Consensus statement on pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent pathological condition worldwide, mainly secondary to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, with a poor prognosis. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare form that affects the arterial pulmonary vasculature. PH and PAH are characterized by non-specific symptoms and a progressive increase of pulmonary vascular resistance that results in progressive, sometimes irreversible, right ventricular dysfunction. In recent years, a growing medical and social commitment on this disease allowed more accurate diagnosis in shorter times. However, the gap between guidelines and clinical practice remains a challenge for all medical doctors involved in the disease management. Considering the needs to share and describe diagnostic and therapeutic pathways, to measure the results obtained and to address the economical and organizational problems of this disease, all involved figures should collaborate to improve its prognostic impact and health expenses. In this consensus document, the PH experts of the Italian Association of Hospital Cardiologists (ANMCO) together with those of the Italian Society of Cardiology (SIC), address 1) definition, classification and unmet needs of PH and PAH; 2) classification and characteristics of centers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease; 3) proposal of organization of a diagnostic-therapeutic pathway, based on robust and recent scientific evidence.

Professionally Significant Qualities Upbringing at the Engineering Education System

The future engineers training system should include a special target function of professionally significant qualities developing, which are necessary along with professional competencies, both for work in the chosen field of activity and for further career growth. The professional education often turns out to be formal, and the training of engineers is not effective enough, without clear goals.The purposes of the article are the importance substantiate of the future engineers professional upbringing, to identify the organization problems at the professionally significant qualities formation and to determine their resolution conditions for the engineering education system. The work examines research questions: what does professional upbringing to engineering education contribute, what professionally significant qualities complement the knowledge component in the competencies of future engineers.Materials and methods. The article provides an overview of scientific research and the state of the professional upbringing of future engineers issue. The theoretical basis of the study is the decomposition and isolation of the engineering education system important component – the education of professionally significant qualities with its special meaning and functionality.Results and conclusions. Discipline, responsibility, independence and self-organization can be considered as professionally significant personality traits of a future engineer, including those that determine his uniqueness in the profession. The most important tasks of professional education are assessing the feasibility of professional activity certain aspects for a student, determining and setting his priorities, and developing his dominant professionally significant qualities. Training a competitive specialist is possible only in a competitive environment. It is proposed to use team management as a mechanism for a competitive environment implementing, and an option for the evaluative-effective component of the education system implementing as an element of this environment is shown. It is noted that the dominant relationships in education can be supplemented by the dominant awareness and relationships in the information space, for example, at the digital educational cluster. The formation of professionally significant qualities in the engineering education system can be allocated into a separate work plan of a unified work upbringing program or of a separate professional training program.

The Impact of the Employee’s Personal Characteristics on the Abuse of Sickness Absence: Empirical Evidence From Poland

Abstract Objective The tendency to abuse sickness absence is a complex problem conditioned by many factors, that can be divided, depending on the level of impact, into three groups: micro (related to personal characteristics), meso (related to the work environment), and macro (related to the broader environment). The subject of interest in the article is the first level (micro). The aim is to evaluate the impact of various personal factors on the declared abuse of sickness leave in Poland. Research Design & Methods The data was gathered using the CAWI survey. The research sample consisted of 1067 respondents (full-time employees). Statistical analysis incorporated multivariable linear regression and structural equation modelling. Findings Some personal characteristics have a significant impact on the declared abuse of sick leave. These factors are: gender, age, number of children, place of living, marital status, and subjective health. We found no impact of education and financial status. Implications & Recommendations Although abusing sick leave is a serious economic and organisational problem, its causes still remain relatively poorly recognised. Personal characteristics determine the propensity to abuse sick leave, and they need to be taken into account under the process of managing absence behaviours. Contribution & Value Added The added value of the study is drawing attention to the new personal factors which were not previously identified as a determinant of abuse of sick leave. These are: the number of children, place of living, and marital status.

Is There Somebody Looking out for Me? A Qualitative Analysis of Bullying Experiences of Individuals Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.

According to the World Health Organisation, there are globally 40 million individuals with bipolar disorder (BD), and they experience stigma and discrimination, as many people with mental illness do. Work bullying (WB) is a common organisational problem, deteriorating the well-being and performance of employees and organisations. Although WB experiences have been researched for over three decades, we do not know much about the experiences of this group and what they need to extend their work-life. The current research aims to understand the workplace bullying experiences of individuals with BD and factors that may foster or hinder their participation in the labour force. The research methodology was based on in-depth interviews with 19 employees diagnosed with BD. Bullying experiences were mapped onto the Negative Acts Questionnaire. The data were analysed using the deductive qualitative content analysis on MAXQDA. Results showed that individuals with BD were exposed to bullying in work settings. Perceived reasons for the negative behaviours were mainly the undesirable individual characteristics of the bully, prejudices toward bipolar disorder, and already-existing toxic behaviours within the organisation. To reduce bullying, participants suggested that, among others, top management include equal and fair treatment of disadvantaged employees as performance criteria for supervisors and that organisations provide training against bullying, investigate complaints, apply sanctions, and establish an inclusive environment. If organisations set a stable and enduring vision, enhance a common identity for all employees, work on team building, and emphasise team efforts and goals, the organisational environment would be more inclusive, and individuals with BD would have longer work lives.

Virtual technologies in education: Problems of legal regulation

Introduction. The relevance of the article is due to the problems of the regulatory and legal substantiation of the use of virtual technologies in education, which consists in the lack of legal criteria for the introduction of immersive technologies in the educational space. Currently, despite the intensive development of digital technologies, including immersive, domestic education lacks actual regulations that would regulate the use of virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR) technologies in the educational process.Purpose setting. It is becoming relevant to conduct a comparative legal analysis of scientific publications in the legal and pedagogical areas on the regulatory and legal support of virtual VR and AR technologies, to study the regulatory framework of Russian legislation governing the use of VR and AR technologies in education, to identify common regulatory and legal problems for educational organizations of all levels.Methodology and methods of the study. The study includes a review of bibliographic and regulatory sources on the problems of legal justification for the use of virtual technologies in education, a structural analysis of local legal acts, generalization and synthesis of research results. The article talks about the need to have a clear regulatory framework for their use in the educational process, the development of mechanisms and regulations for assessing the safety of the use of technologies, the compliance of the content with the educational goals, and the streamlining of the conceptual apparatus.Results. The results include a generalization of the main legal problems that complicate the implementation of immersive/virtual technologies in the educational process.Conclusion. It has been revealed that the problems of legal regulation of the use of virtual technologies are of a common nature for educational organizations of all levels; the issues of legal justification for the use of virtual technologies in local regulations, the creators of which are each educational organization, have not been sufficiently resolved; the very construction of the concept «virtual technologies» is not presented definitively in regulatory legal acts, which allows the use of broader terms «immersive technologies», «immersion technologies, etc.; the need to develop requirements for new competencies of teachers has been identified; regulatory and legal regulation of the process of introducing VR/AR technologies within the educational process as an educational method is required.
