Abstract

Academic careers are based on expectations of high productivity, professional mobility and constant availability, therefore parenthood

and motherhood in the academic environment become a relevant issue of work organization and career opportunities. The aim

of the article is to reveal the preconditions for unequal career opportunities for employees with children in academic organizations.

The study is based on a qualitative interpretative design, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study highlighted three interrelated processes that take place in the academic environment, which form unequal career opportunities. These are

the transfer of professional requirements outside the formally defined working hours, conditionally applied and unequally accessible

flexibility, and the impact of these processes on employees professional pace, engagement and career decisions. It has been established

that employees‘ experiences differ and this depends on gender, career stage and available support resources. The article shows how everyday academic work practices become a prerequisite for the formation of unequal career opportunities.

Abstract

This article analyses the employment of people of pre-retirement age (60 to 64 years old), and its links to digital literacy and subjective

health status in Lithuania. The aim of the study is to identify the main technological and social barriers limiting the motivation and opportunities of older working-age people to remain in the labour market in the context of regional exclusion. Secondary data analysis was performed for the study, using data from a representative survey of the Lithuanian population in 2025 (n=650). Comparative analysis was applied, dividing respondents into two age groups (50 to 59 years and 60 to 64 years), and assessing their declared digital literacy according to place of residence and education. The study revealed a clear regional polarisation: in rural areas, low or zero digital self-awareness among 60 to 64-year-olds reaches 23.9%, while in the capital this indicator is eliminated. It was found that higher education acts as a protective factor against technological isolation, while people with secondary education usually have only basic competencies that are insufficient in the digitalised labour market. The employment trajectories of pre-retirement age people in Lithuania are determined by the complex interaction between declining investment in human capital, poorer subjective health status, and a lack of digital trust. The article concludes that active ageing in regions often becomes forced activity, determined by economic deprivation rather than successful technological adaptation.

Abstract

In a rapidly changing business environment, leaders are required not only to deliver agreed results and ensure operational control,

but also to actively develop employees by strengthening their autonomy in everyday situations, increasing engagement, and fostering

responsibility in solving organisational challenges. However, in the context of organisational management, the concept, features and

application methods of leadership coaching differ. Organisations lack clear criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of leadership

coaching, its application remains inconsistent, and the understanding of the concept among managers and employees is often contra􀀐

dictory. The scientific problem: what evaluation criteria can be used to analyse the educational leadership style? This article presents

a literature analysis, discussing the theoretical aspects and evaluation criteria of leadership coaching, while emphasising termino􀀐

logical overlaps between leadership coaching, coaching, mentoring, and related approaches. Theoretical insights are applied in an

empirical study conducted in a Lithuanian enterprise, integrating the 70:20:10 learning model. The findings revealed that leadership

coaching is applied only fragmentarily: managers tend to overestimate their developmental abilities, while employees often do not

perceive consistent support or clear developmental processes. The article proposes measures to systematically strengthen leadership

coaching, ensure employee involvement, and evaluate the effectiveness of developmental practices in organisations.

Abstract

Human capital consists of a complex and extensive set of components that make up a person as a member of society. As an element of

the overall capital stock, human capital is used as a resource to create tangible and intangible values, as well as to increase the welfare of

society. However, it is challenging to objectively evaluate what human capital has achieved and realised based on work results only. The

study aims to evaluate human capital assessment methods and highlight some considerations for implementing its monitoring system,

which is necessary to promote the progressive socio-economic development of society and the country as a whole. To achieve the goal

of the research, an analysis of monitoring system foundations in scientific literature has been carried out. Human capital assessment

approaches and indicators, as well as various options for developing a human capital assessment monitoring system, were considered.

Abstract

This research examines the interrelationships between employee engagement, retention and strategically designed training and development (T&D) programmes, examining their collective impact on organisational growth and success. A selective review of extant

literature, coupled with a secondary qualitative methodological approach, was employed to develop a holistic understanding of these interconnected constructs. The findings underscore the critical role of effectively designed and implemented T&D programmes in driving

organisational growth. The analysis of innovative approaches adopted by various organisations reveals that such programmes generate

a range of positive outcomes, including enhanced employee performance, increased productivity and improved revenue generation.

Moreover, these strategic initiatives contribute to an enhanced organisational reputation and a more favourable public image.

Abstract

Knowledge is a commodity of the knowledge economy, produced, disseminated and consumed in this environment. It should be

noted that the main enablers, the political system and society, and the main consumers, the economy and society, are highlighted. Moreover,

various marketing tools can be applied to promote a knowledge-based economy and ensure lifelong learning. The selection of

marketing solutions is contingent upon the degree to which society is prepared to transition to a knowledge-based economy. Thus, a

need exists to investigate the relationship between the knowledge economy and marketing. The aim of this research is: by applying

the bibliometric analysis method, to analyse the relationship between the knowledge economy and marketing. The analysis conducted

revealed that the knowledge economy is a relevant scientific field. Topic trend analysis revealed a shift in studies. From 2016 to

date, the emphasis has been on decision-making, manufacturing, sustainability and sustainable development. The focus of studies

has shifted from the United States and the European Union to China. This suggests future research directions, such as research into

the application of the knowledge economy in different settings and different sectors, and research into the relationship between the

knowledge economy and sustainability issues.

Abstract

In scientific sources that deal with the activities of headmasters in educational institutions, the headmaster is considered to be one of the most important people in an educational institution, with the greatest authority, and on whom the success and smooth functioning of the institution depends. Every education system and educational institution needs a sufficient number of teachers to ensure that the demand for educational services is met. In face of the declining number of teachers, both in Lithuania and in Europe, strategic documents set targets to ensure a sufficient number of teachers by the end of the decade. The article analyses actions by headmasters of general education institutions directed at attracting new teachers, and the reasons for choosing a general education institution as a workplace for new teachers. It presents a study which found that headmasters attract new teachers by creating an organisational culture, and retain them by providing the support they need. Heads of educational establishments believe that attracting new teachers is not dependent on managerial decisions, and that better financial opportunities for the establishment would attract new teachers.
