countries points to the importance of the overarching theme of the conference and the encouragement of further research with the aim of strengthening the synergy between the activities of culture, economy and public communications.At this point, it should be noted that a collection of papers written in Croatian language -Power 2023 -has also been published, which also discloses the papers of the participants of the International Scientific Meeting European Realities -Power. These collective editions, we dare to say, complement each other excellently and make a valuable contribution to scientific reflection on the extremely dynamic changes in the fields of culture, media and management that we witness every day.Once again, we would like to thank the members of the Organizational, Scientific and Program Committee, the editors and reviewers, and all the authors and collaborators who contributed to the creation of this Proceedings and the successful conference.

“…Their findings are rather concerning and indicate that "the relative efficiency of public higher education institutions in Croatia is low and only about 10% of institutions are fully efficient while the average efficiency of public higher education institutions is slightly higher than 50%".

Due to its impact on the quality of the human capital, and thus, the country’s economic growth, education is considered a top priority and a strategic sector in every economy. This is the reason why education is in general publicly financed by governments throughout the world. Therefore, the efficiency of tertiary education needs to be consistently evaluated and measured. The main goal of this article is to survey and present all the published studies investigating the efficiency of tertiary education in the Republic of Croatia with the application of the non-parametric methodology Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Moreover, other goals of the study are to explore their used DEA models, the selected inputs and outputs as well as their findings and recommendations. The methodology used for this research is the extensive literature review of studies that employ the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in the efficiency evaluation of higher education in Croatia. The research approach includes a survey of the most relevant scientific databases for this research (i.e. Scopus, Web of Science – SSCI and SCI papers and the Croatian Scientific Bibliography CROSBI). The terms “Data Envelopment Analysis”, “Education” and “Croatia” were used for the data collection. After a total of 41 hits (5 in Scopus, 23 on WoS and 13 on CROSBI), a manual evaluation of the relevance and a selection has been made with the criterion of paper relevance. This ultimately led to 8 articles that investigate the relative efficiency of Croatian tertiary education. Thus, this article presents the findings of the most relevant published work regarding the efficiency of Croatian higher education and its findings are invaluable to the higher education institutions, the government, as well as academic members and the interested public.

“…In the healthcare research, some of its applications included examining out-of-pocket payments for health care and their financing in India [ 56 ], describing the general level of patient satisfaction with a healthcare system [ 57 ], with a specific reference to the patients’ familiarity with the provision of health care [ 58 ], etc. Logistics regression is, also, one of preferrable methods in analyzing public sector performance in terms of binary outcomes [ 59 ].…”

Corruption, public trust and medical autonomy in the public health sector of Montenegro: Taking stock of the COVID-19 influence

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we analyze the influence of corruption perception, experiences of corruptive behavior, and healthcare autonomy on the public trust in Montenegrin healthcare, by surveying the general population before and after the global COVID-19 pandemic. By providing a quasi-replication of a previous empirical study of corruption and trust in the Croatian public healthcare sector, we introduce the COVID-19 pandemic as a new research context. Before the pandemic, we found a consistent and significant negative influence of the corruptive practices and the generally perceived level of corruption (corruption salience) on the trust in public healthcare. The emergence of COVID-19 had mixed effects: while there is a slightly higher effect of corruption salience to the preference of public healthcare, corruptive experiences still matter but are tolerated much higher than before the pandemic. Public assessment of the autonomy of the health system increases preference for public healthcare, both before and after the pandemic, although the emergence of COVID-19 somewhat lowers this effect. The obtained results point to the most significant challenges of the ‘post-COVID-19’ social context to public health policymaking and management of public healthcare institutions. These include focusing the public healthcare reforms on corruption, reducing waiting times for different diagnostics and medical procedures in the public healthcare system, and regulating the ‘dual practice’ (simultaneous work in public and private healthcare institutions).
