The significant role played by youth entrepreneurship for the economic growth of countries has shift the attention of researchers to the potential entrepreneurs, and how to stimulate the enter on the market of new and innovative individuals which might have positive effects on economic development. The present research is conducted to identify the influence of some characteristics of business environment and of access to financial resources on entrepreneurial intentions of faculty students from one of the largest universities of Romania. We conducted the study on a sample of undergraduate and master students, by applying a questionnaire. The main objectives of this paper are to analyze how the young potential entrepreneurs perceive the access to finance for start-ups and if this factor would be a significant predictor of the decision to become entrepreneurs of the students. In addition, our study discusses how policy makers could provide support for young people to create innovative businesses, from a financial perspective. Our findings show a high level of entrepreneurial intentions among the interviewed students, but also that easy access to financial resources is the most important obstacle identified by the students with entrepreneurial intentions. Young entrepreneurs encounter significant obstacles in trying to obtain the necessary financial resources because they do not have a market history or sufficient guarantees. Access to information and fewer business regulations were also identified as factors with a significant contribution on the entrepreneurial orientation of youth. The implications of the study are significant for potential policy intervention, because emphasize the need of the policymakers to stimulate young entrepreneurs by promoting policies that allow young entrepreneurs greater access to finance. Keywords: young entrepreneurs, potential entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial intentions, access to finance, business environment, university students

“…Therefore, a question arises on how to shape entrepreneurial attitudes among youth if science -education concerning the subject of entrepreneurship ends in middle school? It seems that a significant role in promotion of entrepreneurial attitudes may be played by decisionmakers and academics (Papulova, and Papula, 2015). The economic growth of our country and Europe will depend on their awareness related to the significance of education in entrepreneurial attitudes.…”

The article is intended to analyse literature resources and research output related to factors which shape entrepreneurial attitudes among students. The sample group was composed of students of the Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. The research method was a diagnostic survey. Some significant factors related to soft, hard and business skills were selected based on literature research and afterwards were employed in the survey. The obtained results were confronted with the international authors' recommendations. A significant result of the studies was confirmation of assumptions that shaping of entrepreneurial spirit is an important element in academic education. For this purpose, there is a need to extend the scenarios of classes with activating methods which contribute to the development of competences in the field of entrepreneurship.

“…This again opens the question of corporate social responsibility and the impact of its influence on stakeholders, such as the company's employees. As confirmed by Lorincová et al and Papulová, employees themselves are an important factor for sustainability [92,93]. The objective criterion of dismissal may be the length of employment.…”

Work and employment are important elements of every working person's life. If an employee loses his or her job, he or she loses an important and determining part of his or her life. To reduce the negative effects that affect the quality of an employee's life, outplacement programs were established as a part of sustainable human resource management. Sustainable human resource management emphasises the importance of employee care. Outplacement, for its part, includes support for employees at their last stage in the organization. The main aims of the paper are to present the research results focused on the perceived usefulness of outplacement programs for dismissed employees, to analyse the relationships between the emotions felt by redundancies and other employees as well as the comparison of differences in emotions felt by different generations of dismissed employees. A valid collection tool (research questionnaire) was developed for research purposes and distributed to employees of industrial enterprises in the Slovak Republic. Overall, the research set was composed of n = 692 employees from different generational groups. The research results proved the existence of a relationships between the emotions felt by redundancies and other employees and differences in emotions felt by employees from different generational groups.Sustainability 2019, 11, 4748 2 of 21 knowledge about the environmental, social, and economic strengths and weaknesses of enterprise for managers [2,3] for supporting decision-making [4][5][6]. The need for corporate social responsibility has become more pronounced in recent years, and companies have committed themselves to promoting non-economic social values [7]. The importance of corporate social responsibility on enterprise performance can be confirmed [8][9][10][11][12] with emphasis on the fact that the enterprise is confronted not only with economic problems but increasingly also with environmental and social ones [13][14][15][16][17]. Executives understand that corporate social responsibility is beneficial for businesses in relation to employees, whether present or attracting future ones [18,19]. There are various opportunities for enterprises to engage and contribute to local communities. Some enterprises, therefore, have separate units that manage their social commitment [20,21]. Social corporate responsibility does not mean only to focus in the broader sense on work issues. What is also important is commitment to social responsibility at a local level. It can be demonstrated as commitment to employees, currently as well as ex-employees, prospective employees and surrounding communities.The enterprise itself benefits from the implementation of socially responsible initiatives. Corporate social responsibility activities influence not only how the employees are identified with the enterprise, but also their attitudes and behaviour [22] and thus performance.Employees view favourable or unfavourable treatment from the enterprise management as an expression of how management of the enterpri...
