Knowledge societies make new demands and expectations of teachers that require changes in their roles and abilities. Teachers must be open to change, prepared to improve their qualifications, and motivated for constant professional development. This also requires the support of head teachers. Through quantitative research, we were able to get a closer look at the opinions elementary school teachers have of their own possibilities for professional development as well as the obstacles they face along the way. The results of the research were compared with theoretical findings, and directions and recommendations for practice were suggested.

The study aimed to examine water use, investment value, and current expenditure for environmental protection in the manufacturing sector in the run-up to the COVID-19 pandemic (from 2013 to 2019) and in 2020, when the pandemic started. The analysis included all manufacturing enterprises in Slovenia that used industrial water (water for production and cooling) between 2013 and 2020. We found that, between 2013- 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) and 2020, there was a statistically significant decrease in the use of fresh drinking water (p=0.043) and recycled water (p=0.044), as well as a statistically significant increase in wastewater management expenditure (p=0.046) and current expenditure for the protection and improvement of soil, groundwater and surface water (p=0.032). Worryingly, the enterprises showed statistically significant decreases in expenditure for research and development in environmental protection (p=0.037).

IZVLEČEKKvantitativno analizo kakovosti strokovnih usposabljanj na področju digitalizacije poslovanja v izbranem javnem zavodu smo izvedli s pomočjo merskega instrumenta SERVQUAL, s katerim smo merili udeleženčeva pričakovanja in njihove zaznave kakovosti strokovnih usposabljanj na področju digitalizacije poslovanja, in sicer s pomočjo petih razsežnosti: zunanje podobe, zanesljivosti, odzivnosti, zaupanja in pozornosti. Analiza je pokazala, da se pričakovana kakovost usposabljanja na področju digitalizacije poslovanja v izbranem javnem zavodu statistično značilno razlikuje od dejanske zaznane kakovosti ter da je dejavnik zaznane kakovosti usposabljanj »zanesljivost izvajalca in predavatelja« pozitivno povezan z zadovoljstvom udeležencev teh usposabljanj. Rezultati analize bodo lahko v pomoč upravljalcem človeških virov in managementu v izbranem javnem zavodu in v drugih organizacijah, kakor tudi raziskovalcem, saj lahko ti na osnovi ugotovitev te raziskave ter dodatno zbranih podatkov izpeljejo dodatne analize.Ključne besede : usposabljanje, znanje, kakovost, digitalizacija poslovanja, javni zavod JEL: M53 UvodŽivimo v družbi znanja, v družbi nenehnih sprememb, med katere uvrščamo npr. nove informacijske in ostale tehnološke tehnologije ter vrsto političnih, socialnih, ekoloških in gospodarskih sprememb . Zaposleni naj bi sledili temu razvoju -vseživljenjsko usposabljanje je tako stalnica razvoja vsakega posameznika in tudi organizacije, v kateri je posameznik zaposlen (Černetič, 2006). Te spremembe danes in tudi v prihodnje spreminjajo navade in odnos posameznikov ter tudi organizacij - DOI: 10.17573/ipar.2017.2.04 Pregledni znanstveni članek94 International Public Administration Review, Vol. 15, No. 2/2017 Dobruša Lipovž, Melita Moretti razvija se novo, bolj odgovorno vedenje .Pomembno vlogo pri uspešnosti organizacij (profitnih in neprofitnih) igrajo tudi neopredmetena sredstva organizacije. Številni teoretiki in raziskovalci so mnenja, da je vlogo znanja treba upoštevati kot osnovni element organizacije, njen razvoj, spodbujanje in prilagajanje pa so bistvenega pomena za trajnostni razvoj organizacij . Za potrebe pridobivanja znanja v organizaciji te za svoje zaposlene organizirajo različna strokovna usposabljanja . Ta se osredotočajo na kratkoročne in s trenutnimi spremembami skladne dopolnitve znanja in veščin, njihov obseg usposabljanj pa je skladen s potrebami po znanju v posamezni organizaciji .Analizirali smo kakovost strokovnih usposabljanj v izbranem javnem zavodu, in sicer na področju digitalizacije njihovega poslovanja -upravljanja z dokumentarnim gradivom. Upravljanje z dokumentarnim gradivom je eden izmed temeljev sodobnega upravnega poslovanja, je temeljni proces vsakega upravnega organa, kadar na podlagi javnih pooblastil opravlja upravne naloge. Ko bo projekt upravljanja z dokumentarnim gradivom v celoti začel delovati v temeljni dejavnosti 2017, bo omogočeno učinkovito brezpapirno poslovanje izbranega javnega zavoda, transparentnost in sledljivost dokumentov, upravljanje z zadeva...

The aim of this article is to present research results on the influence of factors of sustainable water use training (management support of training, co-worker support of training, incentives for using skills acquired during training) and the influence of this training on technical efficiency and employee efficiency. The article is based on an empirical study of 328 medium and large companies in the Slovene processing industry. The findings show that the training factors have a statistically significant and positive effect on sustainable water use training and that training has a positive effect on technical efficiency. They also offer new theoretical knowledge as well as practical guidelines for anyone working in the sustainable development management of natural resources.
