“…They respectively compared the meaning of the work itself and the firm-climate with financial aspects, particularly, the volume and stability of income and concluded that money has no primal importance, however Hosain and Hossain found job security has higher significance, but still it scored below job environment and atmosphere, which are again social, nonmonetary pillars. The same conclusions are equitable especially for the social enterprises which are often family owned: social atmosphere and job conditions can be more important reasons for activity and employment than profits and remuneration (Bilan, Mishchuk & Pylypchuk 2017). This field also requires more attention and careful generalization.…”

The area of this paper is employer branding of small-and medium-sized family firms. Its function is to attract the necessary quantity and quality of labour force to build competitive advantage in the market, differentiate from peers and thus facilitate company's prosperity. Labour shortage and aging society strike Central and Eastern Europe, therefore, employers face a disadvantageous bargaining position. Family firms, that are mainly small companies, are in a unique situation. Although employer branding is a useful and hot topic nowadays in some regions of the world, it is yet greatly underresearched empirically for some kinds of associations. To close this gap, this paper aims to present an employer branding concept. We extracted the output from a two-folded literature review on the existing knowledge about the public image of small family firms and the psychological needs and employee expectations about such workplaces and employers. We narrow down the area by handling a specific pattern of employees and conducting the whole research in Hungary. The solution we are proposing to fill the gap is an employer branding concept created by customization of the Business Model Canvas.

“…The role of corporations in societies is on a steep rise. Likewise, people's interest in CSR is increasing (Krajnakova et al, 2018), including the most advanced forms of its manifestation in social entrepreneurship (Bilan et al, 2017) and inter-institutional collaboration (Raišienė et al, 2019). Crane et al (2014) follow the mainstream in their theoretical reasoning and interpret the CSR as a disclosure that should be accompanied to various reports of corporations, governments, public sector organizations, non-government organizations and even international organizations.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) is affected by firm characteristics (firm age and size) or not. The study is conducted on a firm-level data collection through a questionnaire. The paper uses factor analysis to compose the CSR variable and nonparametric methods to examine the above associations in a sample size of 822 small and medium-sized enterprises (454 firms from Czech Republic and 368 firms from Slovakia). The results revealed that the CSR is not perceived similar in both countries leading to country differences. It was found no association between CSR and firm size. Hence, size do not matter in CSR for firms operating in both countries. However, firm age matters in CSR, especially for Slovak firms. Moreover, evidence showed that the older Slovak firms are less prone towards CSR. In the Czech sample, one indicator of CSR reflected positive relationship with firm age. The current study adds to the literature by offering insights on linking firm characteristics to CSR. By studying factors which influence CSR, the paper offers the possibility to better understand entrepreneurship mindset in the context of the Central Europe.

“…The results have not confirmed this importance of employees in achieving the business goals of enterprises in SMEs. The concept of competitiveness must be associated with the concept of sustainable development (Bilan et al, 2017). In the context of sustainable development and competitiveness, Ahmedova (2015) highlights five key factors for sustainable development and competitiveness: access to finance, innovation activities, intellectual property-related activities, internationalization and implementation of best practices.…”
