The role of leaders in creating an organizational culture that fosters the concept of preservation the natural resources

Leadership becomes an important topic of research in the organizational theory as it is an essential factor for the success of organizations. Leadership can be understood as a process of influencing followers based on the clear values and beliefs. Organizational culture is largely evolving under the influence of leadership, and the culture of an organization in some segment can also affect the leadership. The efficient organizations in order to survive in increasingly competitive business conditions require a tactical and strategic thinking as well as the creation of a culture by the leader. Vision and mission of the organization can be realized only if the leader creates a culture dedicated to the support of this vision. Bearing in mind that the natural resources are a factor necessary for the functioning of societies in the modern world, the aim of the manuscript was to determine the role that a leader has in creating an organizational culture that fosters the concept of preserving the natural resources

Selection of the motivation strategy for employees in the mining industry using the GRA method

Using single valued neutrosophic set to select tourism development strategies in Eastern Serbia

Natural beauties of Eastern Serbia combined with the culture, traditions, food specialties and music, can become a recognizable tourism brand, which could improve the image of this part of Serbia, and that is the reason why Eastern Serbia has been recently discovering its potential for tourism development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current and potential elements for tourism development of Eastern Serbia's products. Based on the relevant literature and factual situation on the field, the goal is to rank strategies for tourism development on the territory of Eastern Serbia in order to enable better positioning of tourism in Eastern Serbia on the Serbian tourist map. In order to rank tourism development strategies we have used neutrosophic sets. The justification and usability of the proposed approach for the selection of tourism development strategy is demonstrated in the implemented numerical example

Solution of general and prevention of ecological problems of Stara Planina Mountain as potential obstacles to the development of rural tourism

The development of rural tourism positively affects the economic development of rural communities, but the very pace of its development often results in negative effects on the environment. Uncontrolled rural tourism development, without an adequate planning system, can greatly endanger the entire ecosystem of a destination. The aim of this paper is to determine how much the development of rural tourism on Stara Planina Mountain depends on the solution of general and prevention of ecological problems. A method that allows the cause-effect relationships between these phenomena is a linear regression analysis. This analysis best describes the quantitative dependence between the variations of the observed phenomena in real conditions. It represents the means that enable us to evaluate and predict the values of the dependent variable for the desired values of the explanatory variable. In other words, the main issue is rural tourism on Stara Planina Mountain, which depends on the solution of general and prevention of environmental problems

Selection a development strategy of mining tourism based on the grey relational analysis

Today, more attention is paid to development of mining tourism, which constitutes one of the important components of development of not only tourism, but also of integrated and sustainable development of the region as a whole. To select a strategy for positioning of mining tourism in the tourist map of the region, it is necessary to consider the economic importance of development the specific regions. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose the right approach to the choice of development strategy of mining tourism on Stara planina (Old Mountain), a tourist destination located in eastern Serbia, on its border with Bulgaria. The proposed approach for selection of strategies is based on the use the grey relational analysis. The usability and efficiency of the proposed approach is considered on the conducted numerical example

The effects resulting from the application of the concept of the sustainable development of rural tourism on Stara planina

The development of rural tourism on Stara planina (Old Mountain) has a positive impact on the economic development of the local communities in the area. However, if an adequate program of the sustainable development of tourism on Stara planina were made, that would also have positive effects as an accompanying factor contributing to the development of rural tourism. In particular, the results would show that there is a need for the preservation of the quality of the environment and the development of all resources, especially with respect to the realization of an economic profit. The aim of the paper is to detect the extent to which the effects arising from the development of rural tourism depend on the implementation of the program of the sustainable tourism development of the mountain. The method that makes the realization of a causal connection between these two phenomena possible is the linear regression analysis. The purpose of the regression analysis is to determine the shape of such a connection, i.e. the dependence between the observed phenomenon, by applying a mathematical formula and a range of corresponding assumptions. Therefore, it best describes the quantitative relationship between the variation in the observed phenomenon of reality, as well as the agent that serves to evaluate the predictive value and the dependent variable against the desired value of the explanatory variables or the effects resulting from the development of rural tourism on Stara planina

An approach to leader selection in the mining industry based on the use of weighted sum preferred levels of the performances method

Today, more attention is paid to the leadership and leaders in the mining industry. Leadership and leaders have a key role in creating a sustainable competitive advantage of enterprises.
