“…Analyzing numerous studies conducted in different countries (e.g. Mysíková & Vecernik, 2013;Vinas-Bardolet, 2020;Rabbanee et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2019;Sokolová et al, 2016;Borooah, 2009) and in different sectors of the economy (Viseu et al, 2020;Białas & Litwin, 2013;Kumar, 2020;Chordiya et al, 2019), including TSL (Mitonga-Monga, 2018;Sila & Širok, 2018;Chhetri et al, 2018), it is difficult to identify just one decisive factor determining job satisfaction. Based on our research, the most important determinants of job satisfaction seem to be access to information necessary for the proper performance of work and independence in performing assigned tasks.…”

“…Having analyzed these findings from around the world, which also span different sectors of the economy, including TSL, it can be said that fair remuneration and employment stability are key to job satisfaction (Sokolová, 2016;Warr, 2008;Springer, 2011;Tri et al, 2020). Other studies add to this list the possibility of personal growth (Juchnowicz, 2012;Zhang et al, 2019).…”

Research background: This article concerns job satisfaction considered as an important impulse affecting employee behavior, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the significance of the factors that shape it. Purpose of the article: The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate environmental factors shaping job satisfaction in a company from the TSL industry. This article addresses the problem of job satisfaction, considered as an important impulse influencing employee behavior, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the importance of the factors that underlie it. The search for an answer to the question of what determines the satisfaction of the employee and whether the employees are diversified based on their preferences in this area, relied on own research carried out among employees of a transportation company. Methods: First of all, for each factor indicated in the questionnaire a measure was calculated — weighted average number of points. Using the criterion of decreasing value of this measure, a ranking of the importance of factors shaping job satisfaction in the surveyed company was prepared. Secondly, in order to supplement the analyses, the correlation between general job satisfaction and particular factors of job satisfaction was examined. The values of Spearman's rank correlation coefficients and Kendall's tau coefficients (τ-Kendall) were calculated. The correlation analysis allowed us to examine the strength and direction of the influence of 20 factors on the overall job satisfaction. Findings & Value added: The conducted research shows that the two most important factors necessary to achieve job satisfaction are access to information necessary for proper performance of work and independence in performing the entrusted tasks. The correlation analysis confirmed that in the surveyed company job satisfaction is shaped primarily by factors that influence the employees' needs related to affiliation. On the other hand, the correlation coefficients between general satisfaction and factors shaping the need for respect and recognition and self-fulfillment turned out to be statistically insignificant. Building job satisfaction requires identification of its sources and recognition of the nature of the relationship between general satisfaction and its determinants. Without knowledge of these factors and the extent to which they are responsible for employee satisfaction and dissatisfaction, actions taken by employers may turn out to be misguided and become only a source of costs and not the expected benefits. In conditions of limited resources, employers should optimize activities aimed at building employee satisfaction and focus their efforts on those attributes of the working environment, the modification of which will have the most desirable consequences.

“…Innovations productivity tends to not only be conditioned by the volume of research and development (R&D) expenditures, but also by a company's capacity for coordinating human resources, as one example, or for resolving technical problems, as another. There are many literature studies demonstrating the influence of the human resources on the performance of innovation (Cabello-Medina, López-Cabrales, & Valle-Cabrera, 2011;Sokolová, Mohelská, & Zubr, 2016). Specifically, such studies coincide in noting positive influences on the effectiveness of the company's R&D of the knowledge, abilities and skills of the staff employed in the R&D department; positive indicators of these factors is having a relatively high percentage of total employees working in the R&D department, and presenting a high degree of aptitude, professionalism and training the staff (Souitaris, 2002).…”

The Industry 4.0 concept describes a decentralized production chain that extends from design to the supply chain, production, distribution as well as customer service. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) employ software and internet-connected machines that communicate in real-time to reduce error rates and increase efficiency. The basis is the co-operation of separate control units that are capable of autonomous decision-making, managing the assigned technological unit and in particular becoming an independent and full member of comprehensive production units. The Industry 4.0 concept requires continuous innovation and education that not only depends on the peoples’ skills but also on organizational culture. Appropriate managerial approaches play a vital role in the development of organizational culture. Most studies discuss technical aspects, but do not pay attention to managerial approaches and organizational culture, which are a major factor influencing the success of this concept. The aim of the paper is to examine the level of organizational culture in the Czech Republic and to seek appropriate managerial approaches for the development of organizational culture that can support the environment for innovation in the organization and therefore facilitate the entrepreneurship in the Industry 4.0 concept. A partial goal will be, among other things, to identify the implications of Industry 4.0 for human resources. In order to determine organizational culture in organizations, a large study was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey − the Czech translation of Wallach᾽s Questionnaire (1983). According to the findings, the respondents perceive the organizational culture in the organizations under review is more bureaucratic and supportive than innovative. In their view the signs of innovative culture are not so striking. It is necessary to change managerial approaches to support innovative solutions.

“…The study differentiates and quantifies the diametrically different conditions for access to finance in the SME with state support confronted with the private SME. Companies with state support have better access to loans due to the implicit or explicit guarantees from government in relation to government interventions (Mohelska & Sokolova, 2016;Sokolová, Mohelská, & Zubr, 2016). The study also shows the imperfection of the financial system in the country due to the asymmetry of information between banks and the SME, the fragmentation of financial markets and the significant high transaction costs.…”

Numerous research studies deal with the issue of researching the impacts on credit risk determinants in the SME segment. The study of economic factors that are easier to quantify from methodological point of view, and which prevent complex evaluation of causality of interest rate risk and the discovery of various social barriers dominate. This consistent fact forms a platform in designing the research to introduce a model of dependency of effective credit risk management in the SME segment on significant social and economic factors. Empirical research was carried out in the Czech business environment in 2017 on a sample of 352 enterprises. The structural analysis modeling (SEM) was the main analytical method. The research results confirmed the fact that an effective approach to managing the SME’s credit risk is determined by a number of factors of a noneconomic nature. The most important are education and family environment. These are followed by economic factors, such as a relationship with banks, financial knowledge in the area of capital and payment discipline. The multi-spectral dimension of the findings and causality also opened up a wide discussion and prepared a high-quality data research base for further deeper exploration of this issue.
