Item type:Publication, The state of human resources in public sector in the Republic of Macedonia(Institute of Economics - Skopje, 2017-12); In the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in the last seventeen years, efforts have been made to build a professional, expert and primarily depoliticized public administration in accordance with European standards. Unfortunately, we have failed to reduce political influence on the ‘meritocracy’ system, especially in terms of new employments, as well as on the progress and assessment of civil servants. Also, the professional development of civil servants was hampered by formal and systemic training problems, and they are implemented ad hoc generally without any order. Because of this paradox, the position of the Human Resources Departments in the official system is very similar to traditional ‘personnel departments’. The dilemma is whether the new legal solutions of 2015 (the Law on Public Sector Employees and the Law on Administrative Officers) will be an appropriate solution to the human resource management shortcomings of the past years and the citizens will finally receive a professional, expert and depoliticized public service working for the interest of the citizens. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, DIGITAL SKILLS READINESS OF SELECTED WESTERN BALKAN COUNTRIES(Institute of Economics – Skopje, 2018); ; The latest technological developments have subsequently impacted businesses imposing changes to the methods of production and the patterns of employment. Businesses are becoming heavily depended on new technologies and strive to invest in latest technology so as to leverage it in increasing productivity and innovation. To capitalize on the opportunities that have been created with the high-tech solutions, businesses require digitally skilled workers who can use advanced technology in daily business operations. Since advance technology has dispersed across many industries and occupations, the demand for digital skills has dramatically increased in most sectors of the economy. Many emerging jobs involve work activities that require a complementary skillset of advanced digital skills, problem-solving and technical skills, and entrepreneurial or business skills. Developing the required skills for the digital age in the region leaves much to be desired. The curricula in education institutions should be revised, modern teaching methods should be introduced and critical thinking, creativity and problem solving should be encouraged among students. Using a set of digital tools in formal education as an integral part of the learning process will foster digital skills excellence among future workers.
