Corporate Social Responsibility of Ukrainian tourist enterprises: identity, strategy and performance

This paper investigates the level of Corporate social responsibility (CSR) development of two groups of Ukrainian tourist enterprises (tour operators-franchisers and travel agencies-franchisees). The system of metrics has been proposed in order to justify CSR assessment and performance on the base of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach in terms of identification of four stakeholder groups (consumer, business community, employees and society). Based on a sample of 179 Ukrainian tourist enterprises, regression results show that there is a strong positive relationship between the independent variables (the number of CSR development programs with staff participation; transparency in corporate reporting index and the number of social projects aimed at the development of local community and society) and the resulting indicator of CSR performance – a franchise business network. We have discovered that the CSR activity significantly increases the number of franchises, which is the key factor of CSR performance from a strategic perspective

Entrepreneurial Intentions of Students in Ukraine: The Gender Aspects

In the context of ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, it becomes important to understand the prospects of entrepreneurship as a sphere of economic recovery of the country. Student entrepreneurship can become a key factor in the formation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, in particular in the context of Ukraine’s integration into the EU. Studying and taking into account the gender aspects of entrepreneurial intentions of Ukrainian students, supporting entrepreneurial education and the development of women’s entrepreneurship among young people in the curricula will contribute to the sustainable development of the economy and society in general. The aim of the article is to highlight the results of a study of the gender profile of entrepreneurial intentions of Ukrainian students, initiated and conducted by the authors within the framework of the project «Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Competencies and Intentions among University Students in the Cross-Cultural Dimension» in April – June 2023. The conclusions presented in the article are based on the results of an online survey of 247 students of Ukrainian universities, conducted on the Qualtrics platform according to the authors’ own methodology, which involves a survey of respondents on 27 questions, divided into four blocks: 1) general data about the respondent; 2) awareness of the entrepreneurial environment; 3) dimensions of entrepreneurial competence; 4) entrepreneurial intentions. The obtained data were analyzed using the instrumentarium of descriptive statistics. It is found that the entrepreneurial intentions of students in Ukraine have gender differences. In particular, in the implementation of their entrepreneurial initiatives, women are mostly focused on the long term and postpone starting a business for the future, while men mostly try to realize themselves as soon as possible, while studying at the university. When analyzing the preferences of students in choosing a sphere for starting their own business, «gender-neutral» and «gender-sensitive» business areas are allocated, which makes it possible to further develop recommendations for improving entrepreneurship education and institutional support for youth (including women’s) entrepreneurship policy in Ukraine. It is assumed that the «post-industrial» type of thinking prevails among students, in particular in the context of choosing promising business areas for their own business, this is manifested through the increased interest of survey participants in the service sector of the economy. The need to intensify women’s entrepreneurship and leadership among female students during their studies at the university, as well as to improve entrepreneurial education programs, in particular in business areas that are important during the wartime and post-wartime periods, is substantiated

Psychological Features of Adolescent Children's Tolerance Development as an Actual Problem of Inclusive Practice

One of the indicators of psychological safety of an inclusive educational environment is the tolerance of adolescent children. The article presents the consideration of this indicator through the prism of tolerance, which allowed us to identify three types of attitudes of junior schoolchildren with normotype development to those developing atypically: intolerant (negative), neutral, tolerant (positive). The identified types of tolerant attitude of junior schoolchildren are correlated with the levels of interaction: pre-subject, subject-object, subject-subject (activity-value and polysubject). The empirical research that allowed to reveal the prevailing types of attitude and corresponding levels of interaction of junior schoolchildren: neutral attitude – subject-object type of interaction and tolerant attitude – activity-value type of interaction with obvious deprivation of the polysubject type of interaction is presented. The article clarifies the concept of tolerance towards children with special educational needs. The article reveals the indicators and levels of teacher's competence in fostering tolerance of junior schoolchildren in relation to peers with special educational needs. The article defines the psychological features of adolescent children with different types of pathological disorder; investigates the role of psychological safety of inclusive educational environment in the formation of tolerance of adolescent children; makes a structural and functional analysis of tolerance of adolescent children as a relevant problem of inclusive practice; defines the role of the teacher in the formation of tolerance of adolescent children as a relevant problem of inclusive practice.</p
