“…Because patents, trademarks, and copyrights are costly for SMEs, policymakers can also give some subsidies or incentives to SMEs to protect their intellectual property at lower costs. These incentives also motivate both managers and workers of SMEs (Stefko et al, 2017). If these targets are achieved, SMEs might become more competitive and innovative to overcome bankruptcy risk, financial risk, and performance issues.…”

The objective of the article is to investigate whether the impact of innovativeness and competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on their financial risks differ depending on the countries where SMEs are located. Research Design & Methods:The researchers created an online questionnaire and gained data from 1221 Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian SMEs. Moreover, the researchers applied ordinal logistic regression analyses to achieve the goal of this study. Findings: According to the results, the impact of competitiveness on the bankruptcy risk perception of SMEs differ depending on the countries where they operate. Concerning the impact of innovativeness on financial performance and financial risk management, this article also proves that international differences between SMEs exist. Implications & Recommendations:The developments in the financial literacy of company executives and their managerial experiences and the improvements in credit access conditions, intellectual property rights, and tax legislation can make SMEs reduce their concerns about their financial risks. Thus, policymakers' implementations are crucial to providing equal opportunities for SMEs even if they operate in various markets. Contribution & Value Added: This current research does not only make international comparisons among the investigated variables but also analyses the impacts of entrepreneurial competencies on various indicators of financial risk. These facts not only make this research become a unique study in the literature but also the reason why it should garner the interest of prospective readers such as policymakers, academicians, and SME owners.

“…One of the conditions that determine the success of companies operating in the changing and volatile environment of the service industry is the quality of their human resources (Stefko et al, 2017). In this context, the results also contribute to understanding how online social networks can be used for recruitment activities, namely where to post job offers and how to communicate with job-seekers.…”

Although job seeker social capital is considered a fundamental determinant of job-finding ability, it has yet to be discovered which activities contribute to its formation in the online social networking environment. Therefore, this study aims to reveal how job-seekers use online social networks, which job-searching activities increase their social capital and consequently contribute to finding a job in the services sector. The analyzed data were collected through an online questionnaire completed by 431 respondents. The resulting regression model identified two significant factors, namely the use of an online social network to directly contact a potential employer (p-value = 0.0017) and membership in Facebook professional groups in the area in which the respondent was looking for a job (p-value < 0.0001). The results confirmed that job-seekers who conduct both identified activities would have a 1.94 times bigger chance of finding a job. On the other hand, if they would not perform either of the activities, the probability of not finding a job would be 6.69 times higher. This study has several implications for human resource management theory and practice. First, it identifies job-seekers activities to find a job on online social networks and specifies the activities which lead to getting a job. Second, it enriches the Uses and Gratification theory by revealing that job-seekers prioritize the saturation of social needs over cognitive needs when searching for jobs on online social networking sites.

“…Numerous studies have been conducted to understand the factors influencing job satisfaction. It has been determined that factors like achievement, recognition, advancement and growth, company policies, administration, supervision, compensation and working conditions contribute to job satisfaction (Stefko et al 2016(Stefko et al , 2017. Therefore, not surprisingly, various instruments to measure job satisfaction have been developed.…”

Employee job satisfaction is essential for organizations because it influences motivation as well as productivity, and consequently the overall performance of an organization. As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many work-related processes and practices, the Industry 5.0 framework formulated new approaches for a sustainable and resilient European industry. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the pandemic on job satisfaction in terms of gender differences and firm size in the context of the Industry 5.0 paradigm. Job Satisfaction Surveys (JSS) from the year 2013 to 2021 were analyzed. Our results indicate that in the Czech Republic, overall job satisfaction did not decline during the pandemic, and women were slightly more satisfied than men. Moreover, overall job satisfaction was slightly higher in small firms. These are surprising results, given the negative impacts on employment reported by many countries. We explore the differences in government policies and programs enacted during the pandemic to assist employers and employees to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic. In general, Czech and EU policies appeared to be better in mitigating unemployment rates than US policies. The findings are valuable for crafting best practices for organizations and future policy and program planning for governments.
