Mass immunization of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia began in January 2021. Information on the significance, manner, advantages and consequences of this process was intensively distributed through all communication channels, with the media playing a key role. According to the data of the official institutions for the public health of Serbia, by July 2021 the lowest percentage of vaccinated population was among those between the ages of 18 and 24—only 15% of this demographic had received the vaccine by this point. Given the low turnout of young people for vaccination, in this paper we investigated the general attitude of students in Serbia, as a special category of young people, towards the vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, as well as their attitude regarding information about vaccination in the media. Research was conducted on a sample of 345 students at the University of Novi Sad. The results of the research showed that 42% of students had not been vaccinated and did not plan to do so, 37.4% had received at least one dose of vaccine and 20.6% had not been vaccinated even though they planned to do so. Students who were vaccinated had more confidence in information provided through media channels than those who were not vaccinated. Therefore, it can be concluded that encouraging students to decide in favor of vaccination against the COVID-19 virus should come from the universities where they study as well as the media.
This paper discusses the importance and effects of employees' organizational socialization as a theoretical scientific discipline and practice-oriented activity. Briefly, this paper provides an overview of distinguished authors' ideas on the content, methods and different viewpoints regarding the criteria in evaluating the success of organizational socialization. The research was directed towards the anticipatory phase of organizational socialization. It was focused on the attitude towards a job interview, the individual preparation of research participants for interviews and their behaviour during the interview. The results of correlation analysis have shown that irrespective of the outcome to which it leads, the interview-related behaviour is unaffected because the individual invests the same effort, regardless of whether it will result in a job or not.
Rezime: U radu se razmatra pitanje arhiviranja i korišćenja audio-vizuelne medijske građe, koja uključuje kako materijalne artefakte tako i digitalizovane i arhivisane medijske sadržaje. Masovni komunikacijski mediji se retko uzimaju u obzir u istraživanju istorijske memorije. Ipak, u novijim istraživanjima posvećenim pitanjima kolektivnog pamćenja, uloga medija se sve češće razmatra u funkciji faktora oblikovanja memorijskih procesa. U tom kontekstu je problematizovano pitanje kulturnog i komunitativnog sećanja pohranjenog u medijskim arhivima kao skladištima istorijske memorije, ali i nosiocima označavanja istorijskih događaja. Tema je diskutovana kroz prizmu medijske arheologije, kao poddiscipline medijskih studija, koja proučava prošlost starih, kao i karakteristike novih medija i predstavlja nekonvencionalnu alternativu tradicionalnoj istoriji medija. S obzirom na široko definisanu predmetnost medijske arheologije i njenu fokusiranost na istraživanja narativnih i materijalnih aspekata medija u kontekstu izgradnje kulturnog i komunikativnog sećanja, raste njeno interesovanje za korišćenje medijskih arhiva i audio-vizuelnog nasleđa kao jedinstvenog i dragocenog izvora informacija i znanja.Ključne reči: mediji, audio-vizuelna arhiva, kolektivno pamćenje, komunikativna memorija, medijska arheologija. UvodPerspektiva proučavanja kolektivnog pamćenja poslednjih decenija proširena je brojnim istraživanjima kolektivne prošlosti koju prenose mediji, fokusirana na interfejs između medija i pamćenja (Neiger et al., 2011). Fokus na "medijsku memoriju" umesto na "kolektivno pamćenje" (Halbwachs, 1992) proistekao je iz
The aim of this study is to explore how entrepreneurs assess their self-efficacy in relation to their amount of monthly income, years of entrepreneurial experience, and job satisfaction. Moreover, the relationship between entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy and the indicators of entrepreneurial skills was explored. A total of 335 entrepreneurs aged between 25 and 64, who were mostly men (70.1%), participated in the study. The participants answered 10 questions from the pilot version of the Checklist of the Indicators of entrepreneurial skills and General Self-Efficacy (GSE). The results have shown that the amount of monthly income and job satisfaction both have a significant effect on the entrepreneurs’ assessments regarding their self-efficacy. Moreover, the results have shown that two indicators of entrepreneurial skills singled out as significant predictors of self-efficacy. The indicator “I have a hard time dealing with stressful situations at work” has a negative relationship with the entrepreneurs’ assessments self-efficacy, while the predictor “I learn from wrong business moves” has a significant and positive relationship with entrepreneurs’ assessments of self-efficacy. The relationship between self-efficacy and stress management is discussed in the context of successful and sustainable entrepreneurship. It is concluded that the entrepreneurs’ assessments of self-efficacy are “stress sensitive”, whether the challenge is imposed or defined by the social surroundings, e.g., the amount of monthly income, or the entrepreneur’s personality, e.g., job satisfaction, risk management and self-confidence.
