This study explores the relationship between employees' demographic characteristics and the perception of work stress in the public sector, using the WSQ questionnaire. The analyzed stress dimensions include workplace influence, organizational conflicts, individual demands, and interference with free time. A sample of 62 respondents (aged 25 to 60) encompasses employees with varying work experience and positions. Understanding how demographic characteristics affect the perception and experience of work stress can aid in developing targeted interventions to reduce stress and improve employee well-being in the public sector. Personalized stress management strategies are essential for enhancing the work environment and achieving optimal employee performance. The results indicate a significant impact of gender and position, while work experience did not show a significant effect. The paper provides guidelines for developing stress management strategies specific to the public sector. Further research should include a larger sample and a more detailed analysis of other potential factors influencing work stress to develop more effective strategies for its reduction and the improvement of the work environment in the public sector.

Статья научная
Leadership is one of the key determinants associated with the success and failure of any organization. The characteristics of modern organizations are reflected in the radical changes that are taking place in society so that management and leaders must respond to them if they want to achieve established goals. For the purposes of the research, a survey questionnaire was conducted at the international level, examining leaders in various positions, of which there were a total of 102, of which there were about 72.55% of respondents are female, while the rest - 27.45% of respondents are men. The research achieved partially expected results, but it also turned out to be surprising results. The idea was to examine the correlation between effective leadership style in the company and the efficiency of employees; the correlation between the process of changing leadership styles in an organization with the increasing motivation of its employees; as well as the correlation between leadership style and the achievements of employees. The results indicate confirmation of the first two but challenge the last hypothesis. The results of the research can be a support for other scientists who want to further analyse leadership, organizations, leadership styles, and other elements in contemporary organizations.

The media play a huge role in people's lives because they inform people about the happenings in the world. Sometimes one has to wonder how accurate that information really is and what role ethics play in the Universe. The media's ethics refers to moral principles and values that journalists and media houses should respect, including truthfulness, objectivity, precision, respect for privacy, etc. Fake news is a problem that occurs when the media presents incorrect or misleading information, if someone is malicious or wants to manipulate public opinion, they can easily exploit these falsehoods. That is why ethics in the media is very important in order to prevent the spread of fake news and preserve the integrity of journalism. One of the important issues related to ethics in the media is the question of the source of information, journalists should check their sources to make sure that the information they convey to the public is really true. Sometimes, journalists may be under pressure to publish information that is not fully verified in order to be first with the news or to please their editors and media houses.

The role of neuromarketing in decoding brain stimuli and consumer behavior
Статья научная
This study focuses on the field of neuromarketing and its relationship with consumer behaviour. In a context where advances in neuroimaging and technology have allowed a detailed study of neuronal activity, neuromarketing emerges as a discipline that fuses brain science with marketing strategies. This new approach has revolutionized the understanding of sensory stimuli by interconnecting the five senses, emotions and consumer decisions. The research focuses on the application of neuromarketing techniques that help to understand how certain marketing stimuli can influence consumer behaviour and their purchasing deci-sion-making process. In addition, the concept of "applied organizational neuroscience" is addressed, highlighting a paradigm shift in the traditional marketing approach towards a deeper insight of the consumer mental processes. Through an analytical and documentary research, this study analyses the fundamental principles of neuromarketing, sensory marketing and consumer behaviour. It explores how brain processes influence consumer perception, decision-making, and emotional responses to de-velop the most effective marketing strategies. By a better understanding of those processes, this study provides key elements to stand out in an increasingly competitive and demanding market. The objective is to investigate the influence of neuromarketing on consumer purchasing decisions and to explore consumers' attitudes towards neuromarketing and its impact on purchasing decisions.

This paper focuses on the human resource management function and employee training, representing the organization's strategic effort to enhance employees' performance in their workplace. The emphasis is particularly on research regarding training and development in the company "Gorenje LLC Belgrade." Traditionally, employee training has been seen as a tool to teach employees specific skills and behaviors necessary for performing the job at a standard level of performance. However, in modern organizations, the focus of training is shifting towards aligning it with business needs and using it as a tool for knowledge creation and sharing. Employee development has become an increasingly significant activity within the human resource management function due to the globalization of the world economy, the growing need for leadership, the increasing importance of knowledge, the need to attract talented individuals, a stronger focus on quality, and rapid changes. Effective training must have clearly defined objectives, align with identified needs, be planned, and ensure the application of learning experiences. The ideal situation is when training meets both the organization's needs and the individual needs of employees. The goal of training is to eliminate any performance deficits on the employees' side in a short period.

Статья научная
The status of women in relation to men has always been different, both in family and in business life. Through this paper, we examine the position and role of contemporary women who hold significant business positions, the difficulties and opportunities they encounter, as well as the possibilities for balancing private and professional life. Additionally, this paper compares the financial and social status of women in relation to men in the business world and analyzes the factors that influence potential differences in their positions. In order to assess all of the above, a quantitative study was conducted on a sample of 51 female respondents, with the subject of this paper being the examination of women's leadership in corporate management in Serbia, as well as the challenges and potentials women leaders face in the modern business world. The research results show that, despite the level of emancipation of contemporary women, their education, and business success, there is still a different perception of women in leadership positions compared to their male colleagues. It can also be concluded that the differences between women and men vary in intensity across different life segments, but are certainly present in almost every segment. Therefore, the demand and expectation from modern human civilization is to reduce these differences as quickly as possible and ultimately eliminate them.
