1. University Employees’ Perceptions of Innovation : Evidence from the BIKE-HEI Project First Training ProgrammeKlara Čalušić, Simona Kustec, 2026, strokovni članek Opis: Universities are increasingly recognised as proactive actors in fostering innovation, contributing to regional growth, driving economic development, and enhancing social welfare. This paper explores perceptions of innovation and related knowledge among academic and non-academic university employees, based on data collected through an online questionnaire administered during a training course on innovation ecosystems offered within the BIKE-HEI project. The findings indicate that university employees generally perceive their innovation-related knowledge as relatively strong, with both academic and non-academic staff reporting high levels of intrinsic motivation to engage in innovation, as well as a clear aspiration to create meaningful impact. Among the barriers to acquiring additional knowledge and engaging in innovation-related work, respondents emphasise work-related constraints, including limited time, administrative and financial burdens, insufficient specialised knowledge of innovation, and a perceived general resistance to change within universities. These findings are consistent with existing theoretical and empirical research supporting the innovation and entrepreneurial orientation of universities, and they highlight the need to strengthen institutional support and create conditions that foster employees’ engagement in innovation-related activities.

2. Upskilling older employees in the artificial intelligence eraTinkara Žabar, Aleksander Janeš, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Research Question (RQ): What is the effect of new technologies, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), on the need to upskill older employees (50+ years). Purpose: The purpose of the research was to carry out a systematic literature review of existing research in the field of the effect of AI on the upskilling needs of older employees. Method: We performed a systematic literature review across six academic search engines: ProQuest, Emerald, Sage Journals, Springer, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. Results: Artificial intelligence is significantly transforming the labor market, as it requires constant adaptation to new skills and knowledge. AI has a significant effect on older employees, who are exposed to greater challenges due to a possible lack of digital skills and sensitivity to change. In this context, training and further education are key mechanisms to ensure that skills match the requirements of the work environment and the labor market. Organizations must quickly adapt to changing requirements by creating a culture of lifelong learning that encourages seniors and other employees to improve. Training programs must be based on the specific needs and challenges faced by older employees. Organization: The research emphasizes the importance of training older employees in the age of AI and encourages organizations to create a culture of lifelong learning as part of the organization's strategic directions and goals. Society: The importance of research for society is reflected in the insight into the involvement of all age groups in the possibility of improving knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of modern technologies. Organizations and society itself bear the social responsibility to enable older employees to successfully integrate into the work environment in the AI era. Originality: The research addresses the need to improve the skills of a specific age group in the age of AI, where it simultaneously highlights the importance of fostering a culture of lifelong learning in a rapidly changing world. The research findings provide guidelines for policymaking in the field of training on the national level in the context of an aging workforce and new technologies. Limitations/further research: The literature review was limited to six publicly available databases. In the article, older employees were considered as people in the labor process older than 50 years. We must emphasize that older employees differ from each other in terms of education, economic, social, and other circumstances. Further research should investigate the effect of new technologies regarding the specific circumstances mentioned in this age group.

4. Hotel employees and corporate social responsibility : the case of Portorož, SloveniaTanja Planinc, Zorana Medarić, Kristina Bogataj, 2020, drugi znanstveni članki Opis: Corporate social responsibility has been widely researched in recent decades across different industries. This paper attempts to explore the social aspects of corporate social responsibility in the hotel industry, focusing on the awareness of csr of employees in the selected case-study of a hotel company in Portorož, Slovenia. Specifically, their awareness of csr activities oriented towards the local community was researched. A questionnaire survey was conducted among employees, investigating their awareness of the hotel company's attitude towards the local community. Results show that it is crucial for employees to be employed in a company that participates in the development of a local community. However, they often do not know how their employer carries out activities that are related to the social aspects of corporate social responsibility.

5. Relation between knowledge management and turnover in Slovenian micro and small start-up organisationsRiko Novak, Vasja Roblek, Gabrijel Devetak, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article discusses the importance of knowledge management and employee turnover, using the example of selected Slovenian organisations, in particular, technology parks. The purpose of this article is to point out statistical characteristics between employee turnover and certain selected independent variables. The empirical research was conducted on a population of 667 Slovenian organisations gathered from the subjects of an innovative environment database, and a further sample of 51 chosen technology parks from the A group. By implementing multivariate regression analysis, we sought to examine whether knowledge requirements and knowledge transfer paths in these organisations have a statistically significant influence on employee turnover. The aim of this article is to present the results of empirical research that defines the development of a conceptual framework for understanding the influence of knowledge management on employee turnover. The results have shown that the importance of intellectual and social capital, intangible capital assets and their continuous measurement must be acknowledged within an organisation.
