Management

Purpose/Objective: The aim of this research was
to establish whether there is a correlation between
sport activity and drug-taking among 680
14-year-old pupils, and to establish whether the
drug-sports link depends on the type of sports.
Methods: We used a questionnaire with 38 variables
on sports activities and drugs. The probability
relations among the variables were tested
by chi-square.
Results: The analysis has shown that 74.6 % male
and 79.3 % female pupils practise sports in their
leisure time. On average, they practise sports 2 to
3 times a week. The majority of male pupils practise
sports competitively, while female pupils primarily
practise unorganized recreational sports.
7.3 % male and 16.6 % female pupils smoke; the
majority of male pupils had the first cigarette
at the age of 13, female pupils at the age of 12.
87–4 % male and 85.5 % female pupils had tried
an alcohol beverage. 21.6 % male and 29.3 % female
pupils had tried drugs. We have ascertained
that there is some statistically significant correlation
between sports activities and taking licit and
illicit drugs. A statistically characteristic correlation
has been established for alcohol drinking
with male pupils and for smoking with female
pupils. We also observed a significant correlation
between organized sports as the type of sports
and drug use.
Conclusion: We can conclude that persistent
sports inactivity in adolescence may increase the
risk of alcohol use among male, and smoking
among female pupils. Participation in organized
sports, as opposed to unorganized and competitive
sports, may reduce illicit drug use.

The main aim of this research was to define the development of a conceptual frame to understand the impact of organizational culture on business excellence in medium-sized and large Slovenian enterprises. In our research the focus was on the importance of the role of communication structure, interpersonal relationships, motivation, and stimulation as part of knowledge management among 825 managers working in medium-sized and large Slovenian enterprises. The aim was to find out if these elements lead or contribute to business excellence. To analyse our data we applied analysis of variance as research methods. Our proposed thesis was supported since significant differences in business excellence between enterprises, different in the above mentioned elements. We can conclude that an appropriate communication structure, interpersonal relationships, motivation, stimulation and values as part of organizational culture positively affect business excellence in enterprises.

Organizacijska kultura predstavlja ideologijo organizacije ter oblike njene manifestacije. Ideologija organizacije vklju~uje preprianja, vrednote in norme. Manifestira se preko simbolov, jezika, pripovedi ter razli~nih aktivnosti. Namen pri~ujo~e raziskave je ugotoviti razlike med vodilnimi in strokovnimi kadri v zaznavah, povezanih z organizacijsko kulturo v slovenskih podjetjih. Na vzorcu 180 zaposlenih v slovenskih podjetjih je bil apliciran vprašalnik avtorja Velka S. Rusa s sodelavci, ki zajema percepcije v zvezi z organizacijsko kulturo, in sicer problematiko vodenja, odlo~anja in konfliktov v podjetju. Rezultati ka`ejo, da vodilni in strokovni kader, zaposlen v slovenskih podjetjih, pribli`no enako zaznava percepcije, povezane z organizacijsko kulturo, in tako med njimi obstajajo statisti~no pomembne razlike le v štirih od enaindvajsetih omenjenih zaznav (vodenje, nagrajevanje pri delu, razvoj ter stavba in prostori).

The aim of this study was to determine the level of stress that managers experience at workplace, and to determine possible differences between the selected independent variables, including gender, age and participation in recreational sports, and the level of occupational stress experienced. Methods: We studied a sample of 85 managers from randomly selected Slovene companies. The data obtained were processed by the SPSS computer programme and analysed by the following statistical methods: descriptive statistics and frequency distribution for variables; t-test to examine the statistical significance of differences between the genders concerning the experience of stress symptoms; and ANOVA to examine statistical significance of differences between age groups and physical activity of groups in terms of stress symptoms. All our statistically significant conclusions were drawn at a 95% confidence interval. Results: The participants assessed their work-related stress as moderate. There were no statistically significant differences in their experiencing of occupational stress with respect to the selected socio-demographic variables, i.e. gender and age. However, the participating managers differed significantly in two variables, i.e. participation in recreational sports activities and experience of occupational stress. The lowest level of stress was experienced by managers practicing recreational sports at least three times a week, and the highest in those not engaged in any recreational sports activities. Conclusion: Managers who often experience stress need to adopt healthier, more physically active, lifestyles. Izvirni znanstveni ~lanek UDK 616.89:796.035 Izvle~ek Namen: Ugotavljali smo stopnjo stresa, ki ga managerji do`ivljajo pri svojem delu, identificirali stresorje, ki delujejo na delovnem mestu managerja, ter ugotavljali morebitne razlike med izbranimi neodvisnimi spremenljivkami (spol, starost, udele`ba pri {portnih dejavnosti) in do`ivljanjem stresa pri managerjih, povezanega z delom. Metode: V raziskavo smo vklju~ili 85 managerjev naklju~no izbranih slovenskih podjetij. Podatki so bili obdelani s pomo~jo statisti~nega programom SPSS za Windows. Uporabljene so bile naslednje statisti~ne metode obdelave podatkov: deskriptivna statistika ter frekven~na porazdelitev za spremenljivke, t-test in enosmerna analiza variance za preverjanje statisti~ne pomembnosti razlik med izbranimi neodvisnimi spremenljivkami in do`ivljanjem z delom povezanega stresa. Vse statisti~no zna~ilne zaklju~ke smo sprejemali pri 5-ostotnem tveganju. Rezultati: Managerji, udele`eni v raziskavo, v povpre~ju ocenjujejo svoje delo kot zmerno stresno. Prav tako je bilo ugotovljeno, da ne obstajajo statisti~no zna~ilne razlike v do`ivljanju z delom povezanega stresa glede na izbrane socio-demografske spremenljivke -spol in starost. Statisti~no pomembne razlike se pojavljajo pri do`ivljanju z delom

The study aimed to establish the frequency of injuries in primary and secondary schools during leisure time and physical education classes in school as well as in group and individual sports. The sample included 2842 pupils from nine primary schools and 1235 students from five secondary schools in Slovenia. The data were processed with the SPSS statistical software package and the frequencies and Crosstabs were calculated. The results showed that substantially more pupils and students were injured in their leisure time than during physical education classes. Girls were more frequently injured in group and individual sports practiced during physical education classes and in individual sports practiced in their leisure time, whereas boys suffered more injuries in group sports practiced in their leisure time. As regards group sports, pupils and students were most frequently injured while playing football in their leisure time whereas, during physical education classes, they suffered most injuries in volleyball, followed closely by basketball and football; as regards individual sports, pupils and students were most frequently injured while cycling and rollerblading in their leisure time, whereas during physical education classes they suffered most injuries in athletics.

The purpose of our research is to examine the state of innovation policy and its influence on the successfulness of micro and small companies in the Republic of Slovenia. The effects of particular influential variables on the success and innovation policy (frequency of introduced changes, national co-financing, financial support initiatives, promote programs and innovation planning policy) were analysed empirically on the stratified model of 121 micro and small companies with the method of quantitative research, namely as per the most important and successful statistical regions. On the basis of the analysis based on linear and multiple regression analysis, it may be established that innovation policy influences positively on the success of micro and small companies. We can thus conclude that company’s frequency of introduced changes; national co-financing and financial support incentives, familiarity of employees with the innovation strategy as a part of innovation policy play a significant part in achieving business excellence.

The aim of this article is to present the importance of a project performance’s education, training and
motivation and project organization structure in non-profit organizations and to establish its influence
on a successful project realization. For this purpose we designed a questionnaire. The sample includes
180 respondents working in all Slovene institutes of public health at the secondary level. The
descriptive statistic and regression model was used to test research aims. The results show that the
independent variables in the regression model explained 75.2% of the dependent variable variation
indicating a successful project realization. The levels of education and training and motivating of
project performers statistically significant influence the success of project realization. Project
organization structure and organizational climate do not influence a successful project implementation
in institutes of public health at the secondary level. The identified characteristics of a supportive
environment and their influence on a successful project realization in institutes of public health
generate theoretical and practical results. The outcomes of the research will be useful for the designers
of work process innovations in terms of a supportive environment for project management.

Over the past few years, an economic crisis of global proportions has affected all aspects of our lives. Jobs are less secure, work demands are greater, and therefore, effective stress management is crucial to the success of any business. The aim of this study was to identify the stress levels experienced at work by Slovene middle-level managers; the frequency of stress symptoms among Slovene managers; stress-coping strategies applied, and gender differences in terms of the intensity of stress symptoms experienced. Altogether, 85 middle-level managers from Slovene enterprises of random choice participated in this study. The obtained data was processed with SPSS 16.0 and analysed by means of descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, t-test and Pearson correlation data processing statistic methods. The managers who participated in this research all had a huge workload and experienced their work to be on average stressful. They used strategies focused on a specific problem in order to cope with problem situations effectively.
