“…Innovation is an indisputable part of modern society and a prerequisite for the long-term competitiveness of organizations, which is in line with the research results of Kiron et al (2013), Grinza and Quatraro (2019). An innovation is a deliberately designed change with which, to a larger extent, employees come up in organizations, as reported by Hitka et al (2019), .…”

“…We are not aware of any study in the last 5 years focusing on the theoretical definition of all the most important sources of innovation across sectors. Some studies only address the impact of organizational culture on innovation potential in an organization (Aksoy, 2017;Jin et al, 2019;Kampf et al, 2019;Opland et al, 2021;Meadows et al, 2022), others only examine specific types of innovation (Dimircioglu et al, 2019;Elmo et al, 2020;Cheng et al, 2021). In the context of sustainability-focused innovation, the existing studies tend to concentrate on the stronger integration of circularity and sustainability (Smol et al, 2017;Pieroni et al, 2019;Hysa et al, 2020;Suchek et al, 2021), the performance of economic and sustainability innovations (Provasnek et al, 2017;Rauter et al, 2019), the typology of innovations for sustainable development and bioeconomy (Silvestre and Ţîrcă, 2019;Bröring et al, 2020), the evaluation of eco-innovative activities (Smol et al, 2017;Mazzanti, 2018;Pichlak and Szromek, 2021), or the setting of strategies and business models (Evans et al, 2017;Pieroni et al, 2019;Van Holt et al, 2020).…”

Innovation is an important part of a sustainable society and a prerequisite for the long-term competitiveness of organizations. Continuous innovation can support the sustainability of organizations, which represents an important area for every organization and for the entire society. This paper aims to identify the main sources of innovation that support sustainability and competitiveness in the organizations surveyed. The study is based on both quantitative and qualitative research (the questionnaire survey of n 1 = 183; the focus groups of n 2 = 5), using the tools of descriptive statistics and factor analysis by the method of principal components. The results have shown that the main sources of innovation are stakeholders involved in the sales chain, primary and applied research, innovation programmes focused on employees as well as customers, and benchmarking.

“…Nowadays, innovation is an indisputable part of modern society and a prerequisite for long-term competitiveness, both for individual organisations or states, as confirmed by conclusions of Kiron et al (2013) or Grinza and Quatraro (2019). Innovation is an intentionally proposed change, with which, however, only employees of organisations can come up with, as stated by authors Urbancová (2013), Hitka et al (2019). The change organisations focus on depends on abilities of employees and it relates to products and services, manufacturing processes or management methods used in an organisation for the first time.…”

“…Every employee is a bearer of knowledge and has potential that an organisation can use to its advantage. So far, research results show that innovation activities of organisations are limited by lack of qualified human resources in organisations (Hitka et al, 2017;Diesel and Scheepers, 2019;Acebo and Viltard, 2018;Kampf, Hitka and Ližbetinová, 2019;Kiron et al, 2013).…”

Purpose: The article aims to identify approaches influencing impact of organisational culture on development of innovation potential in organisations.Methodology/Approach: The data were obtained by questionnaire survey in organisations operating in the Czech Republic (n = 207) that represented all sectors of Czech economy.Findings: In today’s highly competitive environment, organisations need to focus on setting an organisational culture that will support the development of all employees’ knowledge and potential. The results have shown that the surveyed organisations are characterised by two basic approaches to setting the organisational culture for creating innovations: either an emphasis on relationships and collaboration or an emphasis on productivity.Research Limitation/implication: The limit of the article may be seen in a relatively small sample of respondents; however, with respect to the stratified sampling the sample is representative.Originality/Value of paper: The contribution of this paper lies in the identification and evaluation of approaches to support innovation potential based on type of organisational culture. The practical contribution lies in identification of approaches used to set efficient organisational culture and in presenting concrete results from real organisations that redesigned their culture and identified efficient variables for its design and implementation. The results are important for development of efficient approaches to organisational culture.

Transport is a phenomenon currently used in almost every sector. That is why attention is to be paid to transport safety, which should not only be addressed in relation to situation in cities or urban areas, but it is also necessary to deal with transport safety in larger enterprises where motor traffic encounters non-motorized traffic. The authors elaborated a similar research study. The introductory two sections analyze the current situation in terms of identifying bottlenecks of the traffic organization on the industrial site and possible separation of motor from non-motorized traffic to ensure safe access to workplaces and improve safety of transport on the site. In the most important part of the study, the obtained results are presented, wherein the “load” of the individual entry and exit points is specified. Thereafter, based on the acquired data, particular solutions related to transport safety with appropriate discussion are proposed.
