During the epidemic, many people worked remotely instead of at their employer"s premises. In our book, we will address the phenomenon of working style that allows professionals to work outside of a traditional work environment. Of course, we do not have in mind professions characterized by mobility (such as taxi drivers, etc.). We have in mind professions that, according to the traditional concept, work in factories, schools and offices. This working style has different names like: "remote workâ, "remote workingâ, "teleworkingâ, "working from homeâ, etc. For each name, of course, we can find different definitions. When we study different names and definitions, we can see similarities or differences. However, it is basically the same thing. It is work from outside of a traditional work environment. Instead of in an office, factory, or classroom, employees have to do the same job somewhere else. This book aims to answer two questions: 1. How did remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic affect human resources management (HRM) in organisations? 2. What segments of organisations and organising were affected by remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic? Our work was undertaken within the larger context of research into management and business functions in circumstances of remote work. To put it more precisely: we were interested in human resources as one of business functions and in organising as one of management process functions, both within the context of remote work. Our initial aim was to assess the nature of changes in the functions of human resources and organising, caused by remote work during the COVID-19 epidemic. More specifically, we were trying to determine whether the resulting changes were governed by a common set of rules, which is why our research encompassed disparate organisations: public institutions, such as primary schools and nurseries, state and local administration, and manufacturing and service companies. We estimate that remote work did not lead to a change in number of employees working in departments. The phenomenon of "soldieringâ is not true in case of remote workers. The productivity of workers is not adapted to the least productive worker. However, the nature of remote work makes it impossible to simply apply factory work rules to remote work.

Softcover. Condition: neu. 1. Auflage. Schriften zur Sportwissenschaft, Band 158 152 pages. The book "Athlete friendly education" addresses the topics of athlete education. At the end of a sports career, athletes are forced to start a new career. For this, they must acquire an appropriate education during their sports career. Empirical research presented in the book shows that athletes are no less committed to education than other high school or university students. Furthermore, the curriculum and school adjustments, in general, are of great help to athletes. The presented book also highlights some of the aspects which need to be taken into account when working with athletes: systemic measures on the state level, the role of educational institutions and their evaluation, the students" motivation, the role of e-learning in supporting elite athletes, and the effect of curriculum adaptations on overall academic success. The first chapter presents developments in the dual career of athletes whose first model was created in the years 2003 and 2004. It begins by explaining the notion of dual career and summarises the EU recommendations on it. Finally, it presents the Republic of Slovenia"s relevant regulatory framework and shows examples of good practice in Slovenia. The second chapter describes an overview of various approaches towards evaluations and assessment. It presents multiple evaluation approaches, with an evaluation questionnaire model for athlete-friendly schools attached in the appendix. The authors firmly believe that e-learning is a critical component of successful student-athlete education. The third chapter is thus devoted to the topic of online learning. E-learning, its benefits and drawbacks, and the ADDIE model for designing an e-learning course are described. The next chapter addresses the topic of motivation and commitment. Commitment includes strength, energy, and dedication, all of which are intrinsic to a person. It is self-evident that no learning can be successful without the students" commitment. We are all familiar with the stereotype that student-athletes are more interested in sports than in their studies. However, the results showed no differences in the level of commitment to study between student-athletes and non-athletes. The final chapter analyses the education of secondary and tertiary students who are categorized athletes. It addresses adaptations for athlete-students on the level of specific subjects and the level of school. Our research aimed to determine whether adaptations affect the overall academic success or not.
