The present time is characterized on the one hand, by a wealth of material goods and a high level of technological development, and on the other hand, by the destruction of nature and the environment. Not often, man is deprived of pure nature, clean water and air. Today we can firmly state that if nature defines our existence and our relationship with it in general, the development of ecological awareness can help change our relationship with nature, and promote more responsible behavior towards it. This paper analyzes the concept and elements of ecological awareness, ecological news factors, the importance of ecological awareness. The research that is presented was conducted in several cities in the Republic of Serbia, by filling in a survey of 10 questions, in the period from April to May 2021. Based on completely random sampling, 105 participants from the territory of several cities in the Republic of Serbia (Kragujevac, Niš, Belgrade, Vranje and Loznica) were selected.
Increasing market demands, caused by constant quantitative and qualitative changes, put modern organizations in the position where they need to follow new business trends in order to meet the standards set by customers. Continuous changes create challenges for organizations to address market demands within the framework of improving human resource skills, to create long-term profitability and competitive advantage. In this process, one of the most critical issues related to organizational change is employees' new knowledge, competencies, and skills. Whether structural or "soft" changes, organizations have obligations to adequately prepare and train employees for new work tasks that impose changes in the environment. In such a business environment, continuous and high-quality training contributes to more effective acceptance, implementation, and stabilization of the work process, viewed from the psychological aspect of acceptance of changes by management and employees. To achieve this successfully, organizations should provide a strategic plan for permanent and adequate training to maximize employees' potential in turbulent times. The purpose of this paper is to examine the correlation between employee training in accordance with the changes that are constantly happening in business processes within small and medium enterprises in Serbia.
The efforts of organizations to improve their business processes, establish market competitiveness, achieve goals more efficiently and increase profitability are mainly made through an attempt to upgrade the performance of employees. Increasing the employees' work performance is directly correlated with the improvement of individual skills, as well as the level of ability to effectively transform new knowledge according to daily work obligations. In this process, synergies should be established between employees, on the one hand, who should be adequately motivated, committed, and focused on the acquisition of new knowledge, and on the other hand, organizations that should provide resources, support, and conditions for effective knowledge transfer from educational process to visible improvement indicators of different employees' performance levels. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of training on increasing the individual and organizational performance of employees in entrepreneurial organizations in Serbia. Additionally, the correlation between the two groups of respondents, managers and non-managerial staff, will be tested, to determine more closely whether there is a distinction in relation to the position held by the respondent, for defined issues.
