    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Examination of Factors that Influence the Job  Satisfaction of Employees in Different Workplaces]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Increased interest in the purpose of working belief that the degree of  satisfaction with work has an influence on as pacts of working behavior,  such as productivity, absence from work and pre orientation, led to the  need for exploiting such a relation.  A few methods have been developed to determine the satisfaction with  work and job, mostly by using questionnaire techniques about attitudes  and interviews. A great number of attitudes about the satisfaction with  work has been investigated, both regarding individual and working  situation, but we have chosen to investigate the attitude of employed from  different institutions, that is working organizations, which have different  qualifications necessary for work, in come level and so on. The goal of this  investigation is to determine if there are statistically significant difference  in average level of satisfaction with work with the employed in different  institutions and to find out which is the crucial factor which affects the  satisfaction of the employed by work. Furthermore, sub goals are related  to investigating how in depend variables such as socio – demographic  characteristics of the examinees affect the satisfaction with the employed  working position.  The sample of 100 employed in total, 20 employed in 5 different working  organizations. The instrument has been constructed for the purpose of  investigating, and its validity has been checked. Statistical importance of  the differences between different samples will be investigated by using  analysis of variance so that we should be able by the obtained results  extract the conclusions.  Keywords: job satisfaction, employees, workplace, influence.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Performance of Companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina in  2011]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyses performance of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Companies are divided into main sections and divisions, according to the  NACE Rev. 2 statistical classification of EU, as well as by their size. Analyses  of overall performance in terms of sales, export, profitability, employment,  and trends in 2011 are elaborated in this paper. Special focus is on working  capital management of companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina and  comparison of their performance to that of companies in EU and USA. This  research paper explores the following questions: is there a difference in  overall performance measured by the size of companies (small and  medium companies compared to large companies) and performance of  companies in industry sectors with potential advantages based on the  development strategies in the country (wood processing industry, metals  industry, manufacturing of food)? Is there a difference in performance  when industry sector is analyzed vertically (i.e. in metals industry,  comparison of performance between companies in mining industry and  manufacturing of metals)? Is there a difference in main categories of  working capital management (days of sales outstanding, days of inventory,  and days of payables outstanding) between industry sectors, within one  industry sector, and between small and medium companies and large  companies? The research has been performed based on financial  statements of all companies that have submitted their reports to  authorized entity agencies (AFIP and APIF) for 2010 and 2011. In total,  28,505 limited liability and shareholding companies have submitted their  financial reports for the fiscal year 2011. The results show overall weak  performance, especially for small and medium sized companies, in terms of profitability, growth, and return on equity and exports. There are also  significant differences in performance among industry sectors and within  some industry sectors. It indicates that performance in main industry  sectors is weaker when moving up vertically in main industry sectors.  These results may imply that companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina are  resource based, and that they do not apply innovation and technology,  which would give them a sustainable competitive advantage on the  market. Results also show that working capital management of B&amp;H  companies is far below the level of companies in EU and the USA. Analysis  of working capital management based on the size of companies’ shows  substantial differences between SME and large companies in B&amp;H.  Keywords: Company performance, Working capital management, Days of  sales outstanding, Days of inventory, Days of Payables outstanding, Cash to  cash cycle.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Application of Securitization on the Financial Markets]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[On some financial markets commercial bank loan capacity is largely dependent  upon foreign funding, which is quite expensive, and it diminishes liquidity of  the overall economy and hinders the development of the country&#039;s flagging  economy. Based on the assumption that securitization is one of possible  methods for solving this problem, this paper discusses the possibilities of its  implementation into the financial markets and advantages of that process.  Some financial analysts declared the securitization as one of the main culprits  for the development of the global economic crisis. However, the fact that the  causes of the crisis are much more complex supports the thesis that  securitization still be considered a very valuable tool for the development of  financial markets, noting that its misuse can have far reaching negative  consequences. Bearing in mind the appropriate features of loan portfolio and  Basel II regulations, it points to the conclusion that the possibilities of  implementing this process into the some financial market is welcomed and  that it may have positive effect on increasing the level of liquidity and the  overall economic development. Synergistic effects of Basel II and  securitization of receivables, could lead to many positive effects. The process  of securitization creates a wide variety of securities covered by assets, which  are most characteristic of the securities covered by the mortgage (Mortgage  Back Securities) and the securities covered by assets in the narrow sense (Asset  Back Securities). Financial institutions that put their assets into process of  securitization could obtain alternative sources of funding, increased financial  flexibility, lower cost of capital, strong balance sheet, reduce credit exposure,  etc. The initiation of securitization would allow cheaper sources of financing to  banks, which would lessen dependence on expensive foreign sources of  capital. The aim of this paper is to describe the process of securitization of  receivables and the effects of introducing a specific financial market, with  elements of the classification.  Keywords: securitization of receivables, loan portfolio, credit risk, ABS, MBS,  banking system, Basel II standards]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Innovation – the Answer to the Economic Crisis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Western Balkan countries are in agreement about one thing: they all  want to become members of the European Union (EU). Accession to the  EU has become a national priority for Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro,  Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H). The first  decade of the EU accession of some EU countries meant progress. Years of  economic growth and prosperity are behind us. In 2013, EU is overindebted,  with millions unemployed and unable to address the present  economic crisis. It is losing its share of global market for goods and services  and aging population threatens to collapse the &quot;welfare state.&quot; The  inability of the EU to resolve the accumulated economic problems  undermined the credibility of the European integration, opening the  hazardous speculations on the nature and necessity of the union. Certain  states, such as Great Britain, are openly announcing a referendum to  remain in the EU. Some countries are partially affected by the economic  crisis and achieved outstanding economic results. Along with some Asian  countries, Turkey is an example of how, even without EU membership, a  country can efficiently solve present economic problems. Small and  underdeveloped countries, such as B&amp;H, can learn a lot from Turkey. The  essence of success is the open competition, simplified registration  procedures and operations, the attraction of investors, innovations and  management of innovations. The introduction of innovations is important  in all aspects of the B&amp;H society, but it is particularly interesting in health  care. B&amp;H annually allocates 11.0% of its GDP to health care. The study,  which we had conducted, showed that there are different views regarding  the quality of health care services, between service recipients (citizens and  patients - clients) and service providers (nurses and doctors). Nurses and  doctors believe that the current quality of health care is good, while  patients and citizens argue the opposite. If we put the patients at the  center of our attention, then we have to respect their opinions and all our  measures and actions must be subordinated to their satisfaction.  Innovative approaches and innovation management do not need additional funding. The use of the best techniques and practices, which  already exist at our hospitals and clinics raise quality of health care while  reducing costs. It should be kept in mind that the process of quality  improvement must be continuous. A survey that we carried out on 313  patients in the Federation of B&amp;H shows that the managers of health  institutions are not satisfied with the quality of health care and believe  that this situation needs to be improved. For innovation in health care it is  necessary to create a critical mass of qualified managers - innovators who  will be supported by the key decision makers. To this end it is necessary for  health care institutions, as in all other areas of B&amp;H society, to create a  climate conducive to innovation as the part of national policy.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The specificities of interpersonal communication are actually the  specificities of social inclusion and the functioning in different social  relations. These specificities (skills) provide an effective and a satisfactory  communication with other people. Mainly, it consists of recognizing the  feedback and an articulation of positive response, the empathy with  others, ability to listen to others, the delicacy of self-presentation, precise  observation of him/her and others, as well as controlling the use of verbal  and non-verbal cues. Listening skills relies on non-verbal communication.  Meanwhile, it includes the knowledge on the issue, acceptance of the  other person as a partner in communication, regardless of a potential  agreement or disagreement in terms of attitudes, beliefs and value  systems. Perception skills are identified as three levels of perception:  recognition, reflection and action. Practically, this means making  appropriate observations about the other person, as well as avoiding hasty  conclusions, and making a careful assessment of the formation of a proper  response to the perception of other people.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Suggestions to Financial Crises]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[2008 Global Financial Crisis is considered by many as one of the most  serious crises ever seen in the world finance history. Yet, thanks to the  quick response of policy-makers in contrast to the Great Depression of  1929, the crisis did not hit as destructive as expected. However, we have  not seen any fundamental suggestion to avoid the future crises of the  same kind or even more devastating ones though the vital suggestion of  the Vatican about Islamic finance as solution to financial crises. This paper  is intended to draw the attention of economists and finance experts to the  Islamic finance as an alternative system of crisis preventive nature. After  giving the highly important saying of the Prophet Muhammad -so-called Six  Items Hadith-, we will try to extract some basic principles that can be taken  into consideration in financial transactions. This two sentences Prophetic  saying or hadith is so comprehensive that it expresses exactly 80 kinds of  exchanges. According to that hadith, out of these 80 kinds of exchanges, 46  sales include a religiously forbidden “interest”. Interest is a value transfer  from one party to another in loans or exchanges, particularly in the finance  sector without any corresponding real value in the underlying assets,  resulting in financial or economic crises.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Narratives of Graduate Women on Unemployment in  Turkey: Great Expectations, Better Realities]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Turkey ranks among the countries that have the largest gender gap in  terms of economic participation and opportunity for women. The progress  made in the status of women, has largely been confined to the legal level  with limited practical consequences. Limitations are much visible regarding  the position of woman in the labor market. Even though women’s access  to employment and equal pay are guaranteed under the Constitution and  regulated by Laws, women’s participation in the labor market is still much  lower than men. Women with a university degree are no exception in this  respect. In fact, although university graduate woman are more likely to be  employed than women without university degrees, their unemployment  rate is much higher as compared to men having the same qualifications.  While displaying the signs regarding the dissipation of human capital in the  country, the (long-term) unemployment of university graduate women  involve clues on the socio-political and cultural context, referring mainly to  the influence of patriarchal ideology and its continuous reproduction with  the ever rising tide of conservatism. The aim of this study is to delineate  the dynamics of (long-term) unemployment of university graduate women  in Turkey, with reference to their experiences both in the labor market and  in the private domain. Departing from women’s own narratives, the study  revolves around two interrelated dimensions each describing woman’s  venture through the labyrinth of patriarchal restrictions: One concerns  with the gender based discriminations in the process of job searching,  referring to the subordinate position of woman in the market and the  other pertaining to her life experience in the private sphere, touching on  her squeezed position between her (professional) expectations and  traditional gender roles.  Keywords: Women’s unemployment, narratives of women, women in  Turkey, graduate unemployment.]]></dcterms:abstract>
