1. Ustvarjanje znanja za trajnostni razvoj visokošolskih ustanovMirko Markič, Tina Quéchon, 2026, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Izobraževanje za trajnostni razvoj predstavlja enega izmed globalnih ciljev iz Agende Združenih narodov do leta 2030 ter vsebuje pridobivanje novih znanj in veščin. Management znanja pomeni ustvarjanje, pridobivanje, deljenje, hranjenje in uporabo znanja. V slovenskem visokošolskem prostoru ne obstaja teoretična ali empirična raziskava, v kateri bi avtorji celovito povezovali institucionalno transformacijo, ustvarjanje znanja in trajnostne prakse. Namen našega prispevka bo predstaviti ugotovitve iz pregleda dosedanjih 35 raziskav o treh navedenih konceptualnih dimenzijah, ki so prisotne v globalnem visokošolskem prostoru. Pregled smo opravili v javno dostopnih bazah podatkov s pomočjo metodologije PRIZMA. Izidi iz naše raziskave bodo imeli teoretične in praktične implikacije za managersko znanost ter stroko in bodo spodbujali snovanje nacionalne raziskovalne ter izobraževalne politike in strategije.

2. Agri-environmental schemes reduce variable input costs : evidence from Slovenian farmsŠtefan Bojnec, Imre Fertő, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Agri-environmental schemes (AES) are central policy instruments designed to promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices by financially supporting the adoption of sustainable land management. While a substantial body of research examines how AES influence environmental outcomes and overall farm performance, far less is known about their direct effects on farm-level variable input costs, particularly in terms of energy, fertilizer, and crop protection expenditures. Existing studies typically analyse eco-efficiency or broad economic-environmental indicators, leaving a critical empirical gap regarding whether and how AES reshape the cost structure of farms during and after adoption. This study addresses this gap by estimating the causal impact of AES participation on key variable input costs using Slovenian Farm Accountancy Data Network data and a Differences-in-Differences (DID) design with staggered adoption, supported by robustness and sensitivity analyses. The findings indicate that AES participation leads to significant reductions in pesticide and energy costs, while fertilizer expenditures tend to increase in the short term before stabilizing or declining over time. These patterns suggest that AES trigger structural adjustments in production—such as reduced tillage intensity and transitions to organic or biological inputs—that can initially raise some input costs but contribute to longer-term sustainability. The study therefore offers new empirical evidence on the cost implications of AES, improving understanding of how environmental policy instruments affect farm-level economic decisions. These insights are essential for designing AES that support both environmental objectives and the economic viability of farmers, particularly in regions where sustainability transitions may involve short-term trade-offs.

3. Disaster preparedness in Greece : toward societal, organisational and technological resilienceGintarė Zinkevičiūtė, Michail Chalaris, Sotiria Anastasiou, Jana Hojnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examines disaster preparedness in Greece in the context of escalating climate-related hazards, focusing on the interaction of societal, organisational, and technological factors. Using a mixed-methods approach – policy analysis, expert interviews, and case studies of major 2023 events - findings reveal systemic gaps in prevention funding, risk communication, and community engagement. Institutional frameworks have strengthened, notably through digital alert systems, yet remain reactive rather than preventive. Behavioural barriers, such as low self-efficacy and risk denial, limit public readiness, while volunteer networks remain underrecognised. Drawing on resilience theory and comparative research on societal and organisational transitions, the paper proposes a multi-level strategy combining institutional robustness, behavioural change interventions, and technological innovation. The analysis contributes to the broader discourse on adaptive and transformative resilience, offering transferable lessons for Mediterranean and other climate-vulnerable regions.

4. Managing projects in large companies – project success factors in the crisis and post crisis period : evidence from Serbia and SloveniaDragan Lj. Bjelica, Marko Mihić, Dušan Gošnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper investigates project success factors (SF) and project success criteria (SC) in large firms and aims to identify which contribute the most to project success. The results of this study are based on a survey of large firms in Slovenia and Serbia. A sample of 175 large firms is included. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare groups across countries and between the COVID-19 and post COVID-19 periods. A comparison study of project SF and SC between the period of COVID-19 crisis and post COVID-19 is presented. Findings suggest a high degree of alignment between both countries: both prioritise user appreciation as the most important project SC and clear goals and objectives were identified as the most critical project SF. The results also show that a well-defined project management process is the most critical factor for successful project implementation. Project managers were constantly the most dominant decision makers on projects during and after the COVID-19 period. Analysis shows no significant differences between project SF and SF during and after the COVID-19 period, indicating that large companies are resilient in managing project success.

Ugotavlja, da so pametni telefoni med slovenskimi mladimi najpogosteje uporabljene naprave, pri čemer jih uporabljajo več ur dnevno. Televizija in računalniki so prav tako pogosto v uporabi, vendar v manjši meri kot pametni telefoni. Poročilo poudarja vpliv staršev pri usmerjanju rabe tehnologije ter priljubljenost različnih družbenih omrežij med posameznimi starostnimi skupinami. V okviru slovenskega pravnega sistema so raziskane tudi pravne definicije otroka in mladoletne osebe ter vloga staršev. Dokument nadalje obravnava stališče Slovenije glede otrokovih pravic v digitalni dobi, pri čemer izpostavlja odsotnost posebnega zakona o otrokovih pravicah, hkrati pa priznava vlogo Ustave in Družinskega zakonika pri zagotavljanju njihove zaščite. Poročilo analizira tudi vlogo javnih institucij, pravnih sredstev in izobraževanja pri varovanju otrok v digitalnem prostoru ter poudarja prispevek različnih organizacij in pravnih aktov k spodbujanju varne rabe interneta in zaščiti otrokovih pravic na spletu. Povzetek izpostavlja kompleksnost in razvijajočo se naravo otrokovih digitalnih pravic ter poudarja potrebo po stalni pozornosti in prilagajanju za zaščito teh ranljivih članov družbe.

6. Information systems compatibility in M&A pre-combination phaseAndrej Naraločnik, Andrej Bertoncelj, 2025, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: This paper addresses the strategic importance of information systems (IS) compatibility and complementarity in evaluating organizational fit during the pre- combination (pre-merger) phase of mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Drawing on the author’s doctoral research and updated literature, the study develops a refined conceptual framework (underpinning the IS-OFAM model) that integrates IS alignment with strategic, cultural, and operational fit dimensions. Through grounded theory–based analysis of two case studies—one in financial services and one in food processing—the paper identifies patterns of IS oversight, cultural-technical misalignment, and underleveraged IS assets. Findings show that IS compatibility often goes unassessed, while IS complementarity is undervalued as a source of post- merger innovation. The proposed IS-Organizational Fit Alignment Model (IS-OFAM) provides this conceptual framework by embedding IS assessments into early-stage due diligence and planning. The research contributes to M&A theory and practice by linking business information systems to pre-combination diagnostics and integration strategy.

7. Ethical aspects of using AI among occupational psychologists : a pilot studyŠpela Bizjan, Ana Arzenšek, 2025, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Psychologists, specializing in work and organizational psychology (occupational psychologists), play a crucial role in the implementation and development of Human resource management (HRM) processes, which are increasingly affected by artificial intelligence (AI). This research aims to examine how and why AI is utilized among occupational psychologists, as well as the ethical dilemmas associated with this use in relation to the Code of Professional Ethics for Psychologists (the Code). The empirical part of this pilot study is based on a qualitative research design. 6 semi-structured interviews based on 11 questions regarding the use of AI in occupational psychologists’ work were conducted. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. The study results reveal that AI plays a vital role in automating routine administrative tasks. Participants highlighted its contribution to time efficiency and its utility in language translation. Nonetheless, concerns arise regarding increases in the occupational psychologists’ workload, as human oversight is required to ensure the accuracy and reliability of AI. While AI promises objectivity, participants cautioned that algorithms can be biased, potentially leading to discriminatory practices. They also expressed concerns about accountability. This question is pivotal, as the Code mandates the maintenance of professional boundaries and the respect for individuals' rights. Participants also pointed to risks associated with data protection. Despite this awareness, participants admitted they do not rely on the Code in their work with AI, which increases the risk of unethical decision-making. It is recommended that organizations provide adequate training for AI users, regulate data input, and ensure its use in accordance with ethical guidelines. The Slovenian Psychologists’ Association has a pivotal role in the preparation of specific guidelines and advising occupational psychologists on the ethical use of AI.

9. Governance failure and wildfire escalation : a multi-level analysis of institutional preparedness, corruption, and emergency responseDaraz Umar, Štefan Bojnec, Younas Khan, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Wildfire escalation is increasingly threatening ecosystems and communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, particularly in forest and rangeland landscapes where eco- logical flammability interacts with human activity. While environmental and climatic drivers are well studied, governance factors remain underexplored despite their decisive role in shaping how ecological risk translates into disasters. Regional forests show consid- erable ecological diversity, including chir pine-dominated stands, mixed temperate conifer forests, broadleaved oak-associated systems, and shrub rangeland mosaics, each differing in fuel structure and fire behavior. Dependence on fuelwood collection, grazing, and forest access further influences ignition probability and fire spread. This study examines how governance failures influence wildfire risk and severity through a Governance-Fire Risk Framework. Governance is treated as a determining institutional condition affecting prevention capacity, regulation of hazardous land use, fuel management, and emergency response effectiveness. A cross-sectional survey of 540 stakeholders from rural (Dir Lower, Dir Upper) and peri-urban districts (Swat, Mansehra, Abbottabad) was analyzed using SPSS (version 26) and AMOS (version 24) (CFA and SEM). Governance failure significantly escalates wildfire risk through delayed emergency response, regulatory non-compliance, political interference, and weak institutional coordination. Institutional preparedness and response capacity reduce risks, whereas corruption intensifies them. Corruption functions through illegal land conversion, diversion of fire management resources, procurement irregularities, nepotistic staffing, and selective enforcement, increasing ignition sources, fuel accumulation, and response delays. Rural districts show stronger governance-fire linkages. Wildfire escalation in KP is governance-driven in interaction with ecological conditions and community dependence on forest resources. Effective mitigation requires anti-corruption measures, rapid response systems, stronger enforcement, and improved preparedness. The study offers a transferable governance-focused framework for wildfire management in fire-prone developing regions.

10. Analysis of key impact factors in new methods implementation in organisations : a change management perspectiveDušan Gošnik, Mateja Jerman, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background/Purpose: This paper examines the key factors for successful change implementation in organisations, management qualities, and the most common barriers to change implementation. The main change we focus on is implementing new work methods in the organisation, such as Six Sigma, Lean, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and similar methods. Methods: The latest findings from the literature about change management, key success factors and barriers to change implementation are presented. An empirical study of 55 organisations from Slovenia is presented. An online questionnaire was used to gather data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The research questions concerned the key factors influencing the successful implementation of organisational changes, the qualities neces- sary for organisational leaders, and the most common barriers to successful implementation. Results: The key factors for successful change implementation are strongly connected to cultural and human-re- lated factors, such as top management and employee involvement. Choosing the right leaders and communicating effectively about the implementation of change are key success factors. Key barriers identified include ineffective means of communication and employee habits and mindsets that do not support change. The most important quality of a manager who is leading organisational change is respect for other parties in the change management process, such as employees. Conclusion: Understanding key success factors and the barriers to implementing change in organisations can im- prove change management practices. The findings contribute to a better understanding of change management in the implementation of new methods in organisations and deliver theoretical and practical implications.
