According to Bowen and Pennaforte (2017), supervision is vital at the beginning of an internship when students need to get familiar with workplace contexts. Work supervisors also need to provide mentoring - a process of giving advice and instructions for students (Tofade, 2010).…”

“…This is an off-campus form of work-integrated learning (WIL) which is referred to curriculum-based strategies and approaches featured by the link between academic theory and workplace practices (Patrick et al, 2008). Internship has been implemented globally and has achieved positive outcomes, across many disciplines, due to the considerable advantages that workplace environment provides for promoting student employability (Bowen and Pennaforte, 2017;Smith et al, 2019). According to Smith et al (2019), the effectiveness of an internship in enhancing student job readiness largely depends on the quality of workplace experience rather than the internship duration or structure.…”

PurposeThis paper investigates areas for improvement in internship practices from the perspectives of key stakeholders, such as university department leaders, host company leaders, lecturers, work supervisors, graduates, and final year students. Student choices of internship practices are also reported.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory sequential mixed methods approach was implementing that included three focus groups, 15 individual in-depth interviews, and 461 responses to a student survey. In the qualitative phase, deductive thematic analysis was employed to explore areas for improvement in internship practices. In the quantitative phase, descriptive statistical analysis, and two non-parametric tests were used: the Mann–Whitney tests and Kruskal–Wallis tests, followed by pairwise comparisons to identify student choices of internship practices.FindingsThe corroboration and triangulation of the qualitative and quantitative data sets revealed three distinct areas for improvement in internship practices in Vietnamese universities. These are internship learning outcomes, internship support, and internship assessment. Findings highlighted the crucial role of industry stakeholders, including work supervisors in the entire process of the internship, as well as the key responsibility of universities in improving student internship experiences.Originality/valueAreas for improvement and student choices of internship practices in Vietnamese universities have not been discussed previously. Findings carry practical, policy and theoretical implications for higher education in Vietnam and other countries striving to enhance student internship experiences. Hence, this study contributes to the Vietnamese and international WIL literature with its findings emerging from a complex mixed-methods design. This methodological approach offers enhanced reliability and validity of findings compared to previous research in the field that relied on a single data set.

“…Iako su ovo osnovni alati komunikacije zaposlenih na daljinu, oni istovremeno uslovljavaju i pojavu nekih neželjenih uticaja u vidu izražene distrakcije i prokrastinacije. Istraživanje sprovedeno u Francuskoj [39] potvrđuje da društvene mreže i alati za digitalnu komunikaciju zaista predstavljaju novi izazov među zaposlenima na daljinu. Ovaj uticaj se mora uzeti u obzir kao opasnost za produktivnost zaposlenih na daljinu, koji su vrlo podložni ovakvim negativnim pojavama.…”

With globalization and the emergence of a growing number of international companies, the influence of national culture on various aspects of human life in management has become particularly important in recent decades in modern business. Due to the encounter of different cultures from all over the world, it is impossible to avoid the influence of these cultural differences and the possibility of conflicts is great, so modern leaders and managers try to find good techniques of proper management of different people using knowledge of national culture. Any form of conflict, even constructive conflicts, can have a negative impact on the work performance of employees, and in international companies a large number of conflicts is a direct consequence of a lack of understanding of national culture. Teleworking and flexible forms of work are the result of the technological revolution and globalization. Although insufficiently researched form of work, it is gaining more and more attention of the authors. Managers face new challenges in managing employees working remotely, especially in multinational and multiethnic environments of international companies, so it is important to explore aspects that affect their work performance.
