Therefore, this research explored whether there are significant differences in employees’ perceptions of the established dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR), namely philanthropic, legal, economic and ethical, based on differences in the importance of individual values (IV). The research results show that each of the CSR dimensions differs according to the respondents’ IVs. More precisely, there are significant differences in the respondents’ perceptions of the philanthropic dimension of CSR based on differences in the evaluation of sense of belonging, warm relationships, being well respected, fun and enjoyment of life, security, self-respect and sense of accomplishment. Differences in perceptions of the legal dimension of CSR exist only in the case of differences in the evaluation of self-respect. The research results also show that there a...

U današnje vreme, sve je veća ekspanzija humanitarnih događaja u svetu, pa je tako ovaj oblik događaja počeo da se ostvaruje i kroz animaciju u turizmu. Turistička animacija u velikoj meri može doprineti privlačenju većeg broja posetilaca da prisustvuju ovim događajima, i može upotpuniti sadržaj ovih događaja te doprineti njihovoj uspešnoj realizaciji. Takođe, turistička animacija može doprineti promociji kulturnog nasleđa i ujedno učiniti da ta promocija omogući prikupljanje humanitarnih sredstava na različite načine. Ključne reči: turistička animacija, humanitarni događaji, kulturno nasleđe, turizam Uvod Animacija u turizmu zauzima posebno mesto u turističkoj ponudi, a njen značaj se ogleda u kreiranju sveobuhvatnog sistema turističke ponude i tražnje.

Similarly, museum tour guides are the initial point of contact for tourists and have a substantial impact on the total visitor experience, but their performance is far less investigated. Visitors’ satisfaction and behavior intentions are inextricably linked to museum guide performances in this case. The purpose of this research was to implement and test a well-established scale for assessing tour guide performance in the museum context. Moreover, the aim was also to single out and discuss museum guide types based on their performances. The research was conducted during May and June 2021 on a sample of 255 visitors from five museums in Serbia. The data were processed by SPSS, R and RStudio. The results indicate the existence of five museum guide types: Classic Professional, Agile Empath, Operational Erudite, Trustworthy Caretaker, and ...

Ovakav segment nastave zapravo zalazi i u vanjezičku kategoriju, jer socijalna interakcija uključuje komunikaciju na mnogim nivoima. U užem, konkretnijem smislu, tehnika drame uključuje pantomimu, igranje uloga, improvizaciju, simulaciju, interaktivne aktivnosti kao što su različiti oblici dijaloga i dramatizacija narativnog teksta. Dakle, upotreba tehnike drame u nastavi nije novi koncept. Tehnika drame pruža odličnu osnovu za istraživanje teoretskih i praktičnih aspekata nastave. U ovom radu obrađena je tehnika drame u nastavi geografije, način njenog izvođenja i primena u samoj nastavi. Takođe, prikazana je i kao inovacija u nastavi geografije, tehnika koja na poseban način stavlja učenika u prvi plan u nastavi, odstupa od tradicionalnih nastavnih metoda i uključuje učenika u sam nastavni proces. Eksperimentalno istraživanje sprovedeno je međ...

It is important to distinguish the levels of a hotel product. The highest level of the Attractive Quality in hospitality is reflected in specialized types of a hotel product, created in order to satisfy and thrill the guest. The Muslibegovic House hospitality object provides Attractive Quality of the highest level by creating a whole new hotel product – a museum-hotel. The reason for choosing this very object in our analysis is its eighth place in the top ten world's best hotels, which was distributed by the online booking Internet page Expedia.com, with about million respondents. The National Monument Muslibegovic House maintains a higher level of Attractive Quality on its rich cultural background, constantly paying attention to guests's wishes, satisfying their needs and exceeding the expectation of its guests.

It presents the crew demographics and structure on-board the cruisers along Danube throughout Central and South Eastern Europe. Its goal is to answer the following questions: What are the gender and ages of the ships' crews? Are they structured according to the country of origin? Is there interdependence between the employment rank of the crew members and the degree of the economic development of the country they come from? The data has been collected from the manifests of the cruise vessels which docked in Serbia over the 9 month research period during the 2007 cruise season. Firstly, data from the 2218 employees on-board the 54 cruisers was collected. Secondly, in-depth interviews with a small sample of cruisers officers, staff and crews (2007-2010) were conducted. The findings of the study have several theoretical and practical implications. Namely, previous related studies have been mainly focused on the ocean cruisers and neglect the rising importance of the river cruisers, especially for the European region. The study also discusses the possibilities for improvement of the human resources management and strategic development management of the European countries, which already have and those which have not yet positioned themselves on the river cruising market. Finally, key demographic employment data and characteristics (e.g. gender, average age, occupational groups, etc.) are important factors to consider when conducting a comprehensive labour force analysis, for they provide the organization a chance to build on its strengths and to minimize challenges and risks.

They represent a unique visitor experience enabling the fulfillment of the wish to meet the Serbian culture, socialize, directly participate and entertain oneself. Also, festivals are an ever more significant factor in the selection of tourist destinations whose lure attracts millions of visitors in the course of the year. The objective of this study was to present the preferences and habits of food and drink festival visitors, identify the major factors that motivated visitors to attend the festivals as well as determine the factors which had a discouraging effect on non-regular visitors. A survey of 153 respondents was conducted from December 2011 to January 2012. This study used a survey instrument specially designed to answer which organization mode is the most acceptable for visitors and what is it that motivates or prevents them from attending such festivals.

The purpose of this study is to determine visitors ’ motives for attending a hybrid event, to identify clusters based on those motives, and to help organizers and exhibitors to meet visitors ’ expectations. Therefore, authors performed ANOVA analysis, factor analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The findings clearly indicate elements of trade fairs and consumer exhibitions integrated in hybrid event and therefore, some of the main motives for visiting those two types of events are also present among hybrid event visitors. However, hybrid event tends to be more than just place for business meetings. It is also a venue for education and leisure time activities. Moreover, event organizers and exhibitors need to pay more attention on their strategic approach to managing their event activities. The paper suggests that hybrid event organizers should focus on establishing dialogue with...

The purpose of the paper is to determine whether these subjects include material on Slovenian national minorities and emigrants and objectives closely related to such material, which content and objectives are included and to what extent. Pupils in Slovenian primary school address real issues concerning Slovenian national minorities and emigrants, while the message and quantitative representation differ, depending on the basic definition and purpose of the subject. In addition to curricula and textbooks, the behaviour and attitude of pupils to Slovenians abroad is influenced primarily by teachers and their knowledge of their own subject and other subjects, their understanding of the processes of knowledge construction and knowledge of the school vertical and the horizontal.

The application of immersive virtual reality (VR) in teaching and learning is currently in the focus of interest of researchers dealing with education. Numerous studies indicated that there are significant potential benefits of using this technology to improve learning outcomes and students’ motivation, overcome school-based and test anxiety, influence empathy, and ensure students focus on teaching content. However, there is still an issue of economic justification of investment in head-mounted displays (HMDs) and VR software for school use. Additionally, the key questions that arise from using VR in the classroom are on what theoretical basis to build immersive teaching and how to choose relevant content. The purpose of this chapter is to present a literature review of VR applications in education (with emphasis on both technological and pedagogical aspects, integration, and evaluation criteria), as well as to show the results of a small qualitative study conducted with teachers and an educational media specialist (all familiar with using VR as a teaching tool) in the Republic of Serbia.

Fertile soil and suitable climate provide conditions for the development of rural areas, both by farming and by animal breeding. The amount of cultivable soil in Serbia is higher than the European average (0.56 hectares per capita). The northern province of the Republic of Serbia–Vojvodina, which stands for the great granary of Serbia, has the potential to produce so much as to also export to other European countries, while animal breeding is more developed in the southern part of Serbia. This paper also identifies the key-properties of the main agricultural products of this country which are more relevant for the nutrition of the population. The empirical part of the paper deals with the analysis of the results of a survey carried out in the 10 largest towns of Serbia (5 in the Autonomous Province of Vojvod...
