    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the perceived importance of non-monetary  incentives as well as the degree of their current utilization within the civil service sector in  Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of the aims of the study is to explore if non-monetary incentives  have prospective to increase employee’s motivation in comparison to monetary rewards. Such  finding could play a beneficial role in understanding the fact that an individual’s behaviour and  motivation can be greatly influenced by alternative and cost-friendly non-financial motivating  factors. The study is conducted on a sample of 129 civil servants of all categories at the state  level. The relationships between the variables were evaluated by descriptive statistics,  correlations and non-parametric independent samples test. The study findings demonstrate that  the non-monetary incentives are not sufficiently utilized in the civil service sector. Furthermore,  according to the findings, non-monetary incentives represent a very strong motivating factor and  could be widely and actively used in order to secure increased motivation of the civil servants in  Bosnia and Herzegovina.     Keywords: Non-monetary incentives, Motivation, Civil service, monetary incentives.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Empirical Study of the Relationship between Financial Literacy and  Tolerance towards Financial Risk among Entrepreneurs in Bosnia and   Herzegovina (doi: 10.14706/icesos1713)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explain difference in tolerance towards financial risk among  entrepreneurs with different levels of financial literacy. Financial risk tolerance is the maximum amount of  uncertainty an entrepreneur is willing to accept when making a financial decision. On the other hand, and  according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), financial literacy can  be defined as a combination of awareness, knowledge, skill, attitude and behaviour necessary to make sound  financial decisions and ultimately achieve individual financial wellbeing. Therefore, the aim of the study is to  explain relationship between measured level of entrepreneurs’ financial literacy and their assessed tolerance  towards financial risk. This is a quantitative study, where we use a questionnaire to asses tolerance towards  financial risk and to measure the level of financial literacy. Also, we use non-probability sampling methods  where participants are recruited by e-mail. To gain better understanding of relationship between  entrepreneurs’ financial literacy and their assessed tolerance towards financial risk we use descriptive  statistics, chi-square, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study are  expected to shed more light on understanding of relationship between entrepreneurs’ overall financial  literacy and their tolerance towards financial risk. Implications of this study suggest that entrepreneurs’  tolerance towards financial risk may be driven more by their financial attitude and behaviour rather than  their financial knowledge.    Key words: measurement of financial literacy, measuring tolerance towards financial risk, entrepreneurs]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Internal Migration and Social Identity Construction: Implications for Prejudice and Stigma in Albanian Post-socialist Society]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Significant increase of internal migration in Albanian post-socialist society affected people’s connections and their identity. New social phenomena were differently perceived by the existing city inhabitants and the newcomers. On the one hand, the concept of social identity struggled between inclusionary/exclusionary boundaries; on the other hand, prejudice and stigma triggered from this complex reality. This paper applies Social Identity Theory to examine how internal migration affects social identity and its implications on prejudice and stigma in Albanian post-socialist society. This qualitative study is based on desk research and secondary data drawn by national statistics and cross-sectional research conducted in Albania during the period 1991-2017. It concludes that more longitudinal studies should be conducted to understand the dynamics of social identity construction within the context of internal migration in Albania. This is necessary to promote a more inclusive society in order to accommodate social diversity and view internal migrants as local agents of development rather than objects of prejudice and stigma.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Measuring Financial Inclusion in Western Balkan Countries – A  Comparative Survey (doi: 10.14706/icesos1715)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: According to the World Bank, more than one quarter of worlds’ population is without a bank  account and is excluded from financial system. Improving financial inclusion and building inclusive   financial systems is in agenda of all policy makers in both developed and developing countries aiming to  include the poorest part of the population in to the financial system. Financial inclusion is becoming   more important topic in academic world, but also among regulators and policy makers. In order to  emphasize the importance of financial inclusion, this paper investigates the extent of financial inclusion   among Western Balkan countries and in comparison to other developing regions around the world.  Using data from the World Banks’ Global Findex data base, this paper provides comparison of the level   of financial inclusion in Western Balkans counties, focusing on the importance of government role in  increasing financial inclusion. Research shows similar level of financial inclusion within Western Balkan   countries measured by the following indicators of financial inclusion: percentage of population having  formal account at a financial institution, percentage of population saving at financial institution and   percentage of population borrowing at financial institution. Furthermore, the research shows that the  level of financial inclusion in Western Balkan countries is slightly above the levels in other developing   regions around the world, but still Western Balkan countries lack national financial inclusion strategies  which will help increase their levels of financial inclusion to the level of more developed countries.     Keywords: financial inclusion, Western Balkan countries, developing regions, national financial  inclusion strategies, policy makers]]></dcterms:abstract>
