“…trust, reliability, creativity and responsibility, are closely connected with the teacher's and students' motivation (Blaskova et al, 2015;Blaskova, 2014;etc.). Similarly, Mynbayeva, Vishnevskaya & Sadvakassova (2016) in their study search the creativity in relation to the motivation of Kazakh university students: 65% of the students are characteristic by motivation for success; 3.3% are motivated to fail in their activity (they try to avoid a mistake, and weakening of trust a person who is authority to them) and 31.7% expressed both motives.…”

Greatness of current universities faces many difficulties and the complexity of dynamics typical by tremendous acceleration of social relations and ties. If academics and scientists want to help students and younger colleagues to handle the complexity and tempo of requirements arisen by a study and work at (least nationally) prestigious universities, empathy is a must. Empathy is a phenomenon with many meanings and contents. There exists a clash of empathy on the part of teachers, but at the same time, on the part of students in the academic practice. Despite the fact that empathy as a socio-relational competence and basis of commitment and facilitative processes help to understand and find the key to the heart and intellect of other individuals (students), it absorbs a lot of energy. This is often reflected in the fatigue, mood swings, and nervousness of the university teacher. This 'imperfection of empathy' in turn may lead to the situation that students begin to perceive the teacher as erratic and his or her behavior as controversial: once empathetic and full of involvement, and sometimes as cold and even aggressive. Assuming that the teacher serves as a role model for his or her students, teacher's empathy is a model for the future (feed-backing) empathy of students towards the other teachers, classmates, and later also to the future colleagues at work. Therefore, on the basis of the analysis, comparison, generalization and synthesis of different views in the theoretical part, methodological part of the paper presents the results of a sociological questioning conducted on a sample of 300 students of University of Zilina, Slovak Republic. Students' expressions on the positive evaluation of teacher's empathy versus the negative assessment of teacher's moodiness and nervousness in relation to the students are compared. Deeper comparison of the expressions of students at two absolutely different study programs: Management (150 students) versus Informatics (150 students) and results of a subsequent qualitative questioning focused directly to the area

“…As stated in many previous studies, trust in someone or something enables people to change their attitude, behavior, and act in ways that can enable them to achieve their goals [36][37][38]. Moreover, the presence of trust can minimize contradiction and risk, and strengthen relationships between trustors and trustees.…”

“…Community trust is diversely affected by many factors: cognitional, relational, emotional, time, spatial, intelligential, and experiential [38]. More simply, Lewis and Weigert [42] state that trust in daily life is a combination of both emotionality and rationality.…”

Abstract:The concept of economic self-reliance, widely known by Thai people as the philosophy of sufficiency economy, has been widely promoted in rural Thai societies. By practicing this philosophy, it is expected that the citizens' quality of life and local environments could be sustainably improved. This study aims to explore the contribution of the community practices of the sufficiency economy philosophy to rural villagers' quality of life improvement, and to investigate potential factors that determine the trust of villagers in the philosophy. With the purpose to propose strategies which could enhance trust and promote villagers' practices of the philosophy, the study investigated influences of three relevant factors on trust towards the philosophy. Those factors included factors related to cognitive-based trust, factors related to emotional-based trust, and factors related to demographic characteristics. Questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews with community leaders and local villagers were conducted in the Ban Jamrung community, in Thailand's Rayong Province. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that the residents who applied the sufficiency economy philosophy in their daily lives experienced a relatively better quality of life. Additionally, it was found that trust in the philosophy could be predicted more by rational factors than by emotional factors. These findings could be utilized to develop strategies to maintain and enhance the trust of the people in the philosophy of sufficiency economy.

Modern, active, even experience-based methods of instruction are among basic prerequisites for quality higher education. Drawing students into the qualification and education process and attributing them with the role of partners in relation to their teachers already became a necessity. For this reason the article focuses on presentation of process and results of the newest educational experiment realized at Faculty of Security Engineering of the University of Žilina, whose aim was to strengthen the vocational skills and competences of students. Method of continual simulation of activities of virtual company has been selected as experimental educational method. Based on analysis, synthesis and generalization of theoretical knowledge of creative educational methods, the methodological part focuses on detailed description of basis, elements and process of applied simulation; selection of new employees in company that provides services in private security has been simulated. Utilizing data and criteria resulting from simulated analysis of work positions, students subsequently worked in the environment of multicriterial decisions, and applied procedures defined for method of analysis of hierarchical processes. Conclusion of the article discusses and summarizes the key findings and defines recommendations, through which the presented simulation method can acquire even higher quality and can become a fully-fledged part of the educational
