Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas organizacijų bendradarbiavimas pasienio regionuose, pristatomi Klaipėdos regiono organizacijų apklausos dėl bendradarbiavimo su Latvijos organizacijomis rezultatai. Nustatyta, kad bendradarbiaujama nepakankamai, tačiau yra nemažai organizacijų, kurios tokiu bendradarbiavimu suinteresuotos. Siekiant išsiaiškinti, kas trukdo bendradarbiavimą plėtoti, nustatyta, kad užsienio kalba tokia kliūtimi negali būti laikoma, nes jos nemokėjimas sukelia problemų tik mažai daliai regiono organizacijų. Kaip didžiausią kliūtį galima įvardyti informacijos apie galimybes plėtoti verslą ir bendradarbiauti su Latvijos organizacijomis trūkumą. Siekiant šias kliūtis pašalinti, siūloma daugiau dėmesio skirti informacijos apie bendradarbiavimo galimybes regione sklaidai.

Straipsnyje analizuojama muziejų paskirtis ir jų veiklos kismas keičiantis visuomenei. Muziejai turėtų ne tik atlikti kaupiamąją, šviečiamąją, bet ir auklėjamąją funkcijas, siekdami pritraukti išrankius (ypač jaunesnio amžiaus) lankytojus, todėl svarbu paslaugas modernizuoti. Pritaikius stebėjimo metodą, aplankyti 22 muziejai Lietuvoje ir Latvijoje. Taikant teorijoje išskirtus paslaugų modernizavimo kriterijus muziejuose nustatyta, kad vis dar daugelio jų lankymo laikas nepatrauklus, pasigendama paslaugų žmonėms su negalia, trūksta įtraukimo į muziejinę veiklą, elementarių paslaugų, kaip kavinių, parduotuvių, kur lankytojai galėtų nusipirkti replikas, eksponatų suvenyrų kopijas.

In the analysis of leadership styles and their coherence the subject of leading the organization have been, is and will be valid at all times. Although there are quite a lot of scientific articles and books on leadership styles, but works of foreign researchers are often quoted. Unfortunately, Lithuanian scientists do not pay enough attention to new (relatively as transformational and transactional leadership styles have been begun to be analyzed in the end of last century) leadership styles, whereas a combination of leadership styles is not paid attention at all, stating a priori that it is better to use a combination of various styles. It certainly does not form serious approach to the current leadership style problem. The scientific problem is the lack of perception, identification and finding out style combinations in the field of leadership styles. The purpose of this article is finding out leadership styles set in Klaipėda progymnasiums through the analysis of leadership styles. The object of research is the leadership styles in Klaipeda progymnasiums. The research methods are analysis, synthesis and comparison based on the insights in scientific literature, which have been done in order to justify the eligibility of leadership styles chosen by the managers. Employees carried out individual questionnaires, while managers have been interviewed. To analyze, process, digest and graphically depict questionnaire data derived from quantitative research SPSS 18 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 program have been used.

Straipsnyje atskleista etiško vadovavimo svarba organizacijų veikloje. Etiškas vadovavimas – tai asmeniniu, teigiamu pavyzdžiu, remiantis asmeninėmis vertybėmis ir visuotinai priimtinomis etikos normomis, formuojama elgsena, kreipianti darbuotojų veiklą, pasitelkus pasitikėjimą, siekiant sėkmingai įgyvendinti tikslus: savo, darbuotojų, organizacijos, visuomenės. Sprendžiama mokslinė problema, kaip pasireiškia etiškas vadovavimas organizacijoje, siekiama išsiaiškinti, teiraujantis apie vadovavimo etiškumą, ar vadovo ir jam tiesiogiai pavaldžių darbuotojų požiūris sutampa. Atlikti du kokybiniai tyrimai organizacijoje: interviu su vadovu ir diskusijų grupės interviu su tiesiogiai vadovui pavaldžiais darbuotojais. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidžia, kad iš dalies dirbama esant etiškam vadovavimui, vadovas laikosi etikos principų, bet jo ir jam tiesiogiai pavaldžių darbuotojų požiūris į etišką vadovavimą dažnu atveju skiriasi.
