This paper presents the results of research into the influence and predictive effects of organizational culture and leadership (transformational, transactional and ethical leadership) on workplace bullying and mistreatment in organizations in Serbia. The moderating effect of company success on the observed relationships was also examined. The data were obtained through a survey of 536 respondents (employed by organizations in Serbia). Ethical and transformational leadership, as well as organizational culture with pronounced human orientation and in-group collectivism have all been shown to reduce workplace bullying. The strong power of ethical leadership in these processes is particularly emphasized. In contrast, transactional leadership, high power distance, and unrealistic insistence on achieving superior results increase the chances of workplace bullying. In doing so, high performance expectations have a greater effect on work-related bullying, and power distance on person-related bullying. The dimensions related to high performances and rewards have a complex, sometimes contradictory impact on workplace bullying. Organizational culture and leadership have a much stronger impact on workplace bullying in high success companies than in low success companies.
The issue of development of defence systems gives a hard time to strategy developers in the countries with various level of economic, technological, social, and political development, same as to the academic and professional researchers and the individuals who implement those strategies. The challenges in front of them are more present than before, as besides political issues, many categories are influencing national security strategies' and defence strategies' development, such as technology development, economic crises, political influence, and social changes. This paper researches current literature on national security and defence strategies development and the most significant challenges that influence the development of national security strategy and defence strategy of the Republic of Serbia. In the second part, based on acknowledged challenges, the most important ones are discussed in the form of interviews with defence and security experts and academics, strategic management higher education teachers and the professionals in the field of defence, security, and information technologies. The paper concludes that the challenges are wide-ranging and are of various levels of significance. Nevertheless, the most important challenges that emerged are: demography (human resources) and education; risk management policies and procedures; cyber war, cybercrime, and cyber terrorism; economic crises and defence budgets; public health and global health crises; and climate change. Moreover, the interviewees singled out as the crucial category: the investment in education of human resources that would be capable of developing national security and defence strategies.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have major benefits for humankind, nevertheless they are perceived through their widespread use for military purposes with ethical reservations. However, the possibilities for non-military use of UAS are extensive: scientific research; disaster prevention and management; protection of critical infrastructure; homeland security; communications; and environmental protection. Media can have a significant role in promoting and explaining the use of UAS for civil purposes to the wider public. This paper explores perceptions of academics and professionals in various fields (security, environmental protection, STEM, etc.) of media reporting on UAS in general, UAS for military use, and UAS for civil use in the Republic of Serbia. The findings show that media are perceived as underutilized vehicles in promoting UAS for civil use and develop a model for media use in promoting UAS for civil purposes.
