A high re-sources makes company stable, independent. With a low share, on contrary, is unstable, market fluctuations credit uncertainty can have serious consequences. However, capital cheaper, too indebtedness ratios jeopardize existence enterprises. Purpose article: In general, economic recession worsens enterprises, especially their debt management. Thus, paper aims apply set 13 sample 779 Slovak Czech enterprises from construction sector determine key microeconomic determinants that may influence level indebtedness. Methods: non-parametric one-way analysis variance ? Kruskal-Wallis test was whether same across countries, districts, sizes. For analyzing specific pair stochastic dominance, pairwise comparison realized using Dunn'stest with Bonferonni correction. Mann-Whitney compare differences in between two independent groups based legal form country. Findings & value added: total ratio self-financing depends region as well size enterprise form. case debt-to-cash-flow indebted-ness, dependence obvious. importance vice versa, affect independence ratio. These outputs relevant for au-thorities, policy makers, or institutions identify constraints face and, result, make long-term contribution theory this field.

However, whether close link exists between number of confirmed cases, deaths indicators during remains uncertain. Purpose article: current study aims analyse impact infections growth labour market member states European Union. Methods: To achieve main research goal, we conduct panel data analysis quarterly Specifically, developed three random-effects econometric models estimate significance infection mortality rates for as well employment unemployment rates. Findings & value added: This contributes existing literature analysing selecting macro-economic within results show that rate is not significant variable indicators. an increase significantly negative economy. Moreover, worse than general. These can serve theoretical basis future interconnections pandemics findings also contribute developing efficient policy instruments mitigating future, thereby ensuring cooperation fiscal, monetary health authorities.

Exhaustion while teleworking during COVID-19: a moderated-mediation model of role clarity, self-efficacy, and task interdependence

Oeconomia Copernicana, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 12(2), С. 269 - 306

Research background: The global COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented challenge not only for employees? well-being, but also the nature of their work, as teleworking became norm many them almost overnight. Thus, there is a need to more fine-grained understanding specific job demands experienced while during COVID-19, and resources that mitigate detrimental effects help employees adopt resilient responses beyond COVID-19. Purpose article: Drawing upon demands-resources model, present study aims at investigating link between work overload (a demand) employee well-being (i.e., burnout), considering role clarity resource) mediator, task interdependence self-efficacy two potential boundary conditions. Methods: In order examine overload, emotional exhaustion moderated by self-efficacy, we used survey data from 701 Romanian large information technology company, who worked home COVID-19. We employed regression-based path analysis hypothesized relations. Findings & value added: results reveal partially mediates relation Moreover, mediation show clarity, interact in on exhaustion. This has important theoretical managerial implications go pandemic. As this shows, when high levels workload cannot be avoided, personal (self-efficacy) (role clarity) might particularly useful reduce teleworking. Based these results, managers can design better jobs remote workers flexible arrangements future.

The subject matter discussed in the article concerns problem of energy transformation European Union (EU) countries. In case EU, has specific characteristics due to formal legal and institutional provisions. This means that member states are obliged implement adopted Community Energy Strategy, which was defined under Green Deal. According EU policy, all have climate-neutral zero-gas-emission economies by 2050. is be largely based on diversification sources used, with a dominance renewable (RES). presents research problem, where question asked whether achieving independence solely RES possible at regional level. It seems positive answer an important argument discussion about possibility goals set Additionally, stating from for selected region promote just bottom-up initiatives order carry out more effectively. assessment potential level carried example NUTS 2 region, Greater Poland Voivodeship Poland. main objective study analyze obtaining Voivodeship. implementation consists determining basis methods geographic information system (GIS). GIS were fact they allow spatial positioning point, line, surface structures relation RES, thus ensuring high accuracy obtained estimates. analysis shows technical higher than current electricity heat usage. focusing can fully meet demand thanks its green resources. should emphasized one coal-dependent regions already prepared structured plan transformation. A locally strategy assumes conversion “Coal Region” into “Green Valley” economic development will strictly connected independence.

New paradigms of quantification of economic efficiency in the transport sector

Oeconomia Copernicana, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 12(1), С. 193 - 212

Опубликована: Апрель 13, 2021

Research background: In determining the prices in road transport, carriers usually use calculations based on a so-called routes utilisation coefficient, which allows carrier to also take possibility of return rides without load into account. Currently, it is used as constant from interval zero one. Purpose article: Considering different offer transport individual European Union (EU) countries, can be assumed that coefficient should have values because there varying level non-zero probability vehicle will load. This study therefore proposes new approach value this direction. The aims identify clusters EU for common set. Methods: Analysis Variance (ANOVA) test was verify assumption differences among means offers. Cluster analysis aforementioned groups countries. real data offers Slovakia 18 Findings & added: results other countries if significant exist reasonable conclusion valid demonstrated more appropriate with various values, dependent For companies, implementation obtained practice beneficial increase their competitiveness through precise setting prices, but optimisation price itself regard expected costs.
