The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the pandemic on online shopping in the case of Kosovo. Cunningham (2019) states that online shopping is an e-commerce activity that involves buying items on a seller’s website through a credit or debit card and delivering the item to your home with online shopping, customers buy items from anywhere in the world through a digital platform. The data used are primary, collected through the online questionnaire and it was distributed using social media Facebook, Instagram, and Gmail to a random sample of 500 respondents from Kosovo. We have concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on online shopping because, based on the results we have obtained, online shopping has increased during this period. Online shopping clearly shows that consumers’ attitudes and behaviors have changed rapidly, but the pandemic had not increased their confidence in online shopping. This is especially true for developed countries, where every store has its website from which to buy, and India seems to have adopted this trend very fast compared to Pakistan (Bashir, Mehboob, & Bhatti, 2015). The most demanded products besides food, and hygiene, there was a great demand for clothing, electronic and technological equipment, books, and others. Regardless of how many advantages we can have from online shopping, traditional shopping is still what Kosovar consumers prefer to practice. The paper also suggests some recommendations regarding online shopping in Kosovo
The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of on-the-job and off-the-job training on improving employee skills and performance growth. It is important to research how training has been studied by different disciplines at different times, what function it is thought to have according to different approaches, as well as how researchers of different times and currents have tried to evaluate it. An employee’s performance is a function of ability, motivation, and opportunity to participate, and it can also create a favorable social climate that encourages employees to act in accordance with the firm’s objectives (Imani, Foroudi, Seyyedamiri, & Dehghani, 2020). The data used primarily provided by self-administered questionnaires were used with a sample of 100 respondents with a deliberate sample including employees in the private sector, and those who have been part of on-the-job or off-the-job training. This data from the questionnaires were processed with the IBM SPSS program where the frequencies, cross-constructions, and correlations between the variables were described. Respondents also request to be included in the Training Plan: for “soft skills”. Among other things, the findings result in a positive but weak correlation between the selection of the training method and the performance of the employees.
