Human Resources Management (HRM) is still regarded as an unexplored area from the perspective of performance, andtherefore many unanswered questions arise from this topic.The key link is the manager in HRM who is responsible for the co-implementation of HRM practices. From this specific perspective, managerial practices are an important assumption for a successful employees' management and mainly their work performance. People management cannot exist without the existence of social competence that is inevitably influenced to a considerable degree by social intelligence of the manager.The relationship between social intelligence and performance motivation was examined on a sample of interviewees as well as the impact of social intelligence on handling demanding situations that a manager encounters in everyday work situations. The results of the research have showed the discrepancies in the age groups as well as work placement that has proved the fact that managers are more socially intelligent than non-managers. Further results of the research and the conclusions take us beyond in this area which requires increasingly bigger attention from academia. Clearly, both the impact of a manager's personality on HRM and the possibilities of influencing organizational performance are topics that require further research.

The aim of this paper is to specify the links between expectations of advertising and perception of advertising according to the gender differences. The fact that individuals create their subjective cognitive image of these advertisement attributes serves as a basis for the conceptualization of this paper. The data were collected from two research samples, 99 respondents (58 women and 41 men) and 206 respondents (113 women and 93 men). The analyses, conducted in two research stages, indicated significant correlations between the selected attributes of expectations of advertising and the factors of subjective perception of advertising. The results also revealed an existence of significant differences in perception of advertising and expectations of advertising between men and women. Women paid more attention to the music and visuals of the advertisement and appreciate the humorous aspects in advertising. They also had greater expectations of advertising-they expect it to be memorable, informative, intelligent, genuine and visually stunning.

Abstract. The main aim of the article is a questionnaire based analysis of shopping behaviour in the context of spending leisure time activities of consumers in shopping centres Donauzentrum and Millennium City in Vienna, the capital city of Austria, as well as, the identification of potential differences caused by their location within the city and by varied offer and the diversity of their individual operations. The research was conducted from November 2015 to February 2016 with 320 respondents (160 respondents in Donauzentrum and 160 respondents in Millennium City). Millenium City was often visited by occasional consumers (proximity of railway station and airport, near the city centre, centre with a hotel part, as well). Considering varied offer and the diversity of operations (cinemas, night clubs, fitness centres, bars, restaurants, etc.), the consumers seldom stayed longer during a visit (interval of 91-120 min was stated by 33.75% of the respondents). Donauzentrum was visited more often (i.e. purchase of daily consumer goods). The consumers stayed shorter and spent less money.

Основною метою статті є аналіз споживчої поведінки під час дозвілля споживачів у торгових центрах «Донауцентрум» і «Міленіум сіті» у Відні, столиці Австрії, а також виявлення потенційних відмінностей, викликаних їх розташування, відмінністю торговельних і розважальних пропозицій. Дослідження в формі анкетування проводилося з листопада 2015 року по лютий 2016 року. Було опитано 320 респондентів (160 респондентів у «Донауцентрум» і 160 респондентів у «Міленіум сіті»). «Міленіум сіті» часто відвідували випадкові споживачі в зв›язку з його вдалим розташуванням (близькістю залізничного вокзалу та аеропорту, центру міста й готельних комплексів). З огляду на різноманітну пропозицію розваг (кінотеатри, нічні клуби, фітнес-центри, бари, ресторани і т.п.), споживачі рідко залишалися в «Міленіум сіті» довше 91-120 хвилин, про що повідомили 33,75% респондентів. «Донауцентрум» респонденти відвідували частіше, ніж «Міленіум сіті» (у зв›язку з купівлею товарів щоденного споживання), однак проводили в ньому менше часу й витрачали менше грошей. На основі аналізу автори дійшли висновку, що на споживчу поведінку в торговому центрі перш за все впливає відмінність розважальних пропозицій.

BackgroundLack of adherence to treatment in patients with arterial hypertension leads to poor blood pressure control, increased morbidity and mortality, and increased costs to health and social care. Regular assessment of treatment adherence as well as factors influencing it is important to improve patient adherence and consequently increase treatment efficacy. Personal beliefs, particularly illness representations, are significant factors that influence adherence.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the associations between adherence to treatment, illness perception, and selected sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in patients with arterial hypertension.MethodsIn this cross-sectional observational study, 235 patients with arterial hypertension completed the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Associations between variables were assessed by Spearman ρ and multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsYounger age, male gender, overall number of drugs used, and poorer beliefs related to the timeline, treatment control, and understanding were associated with higher levels of nonadherence. The final regression model significantly (P ≤ .05) explained 19.4% of the variance in diet adherence, 5.0% in appointment keeping, and 17.8% in medication adherence.ConclusionComprehensive care aimed at regular evaluation of illness perceptions with an emphasis on increasing understanding of the disease and its treatment and reducing patient worries and negative emotions seems to be a relevant strategy for improving adherence to antihypertensive treatment in everyday clinical practice.
