Factors Influencing Work-Related Attitudes of Top Managers: An Expert Perspective
Authors: Roscher Bjarne Erik , Balina Signe 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This research in progress paper investigates the multifaceted factors shaping the work-related attitudes of top managers in organizations with a focus on Germany. Through in-depth interviews with seasoned experts, it reveals crucial work attitudes, examines the impact of interpersonal and procedural factors, and evaluates information’s role in the principal-agent relationship at top management levels. The findings challenge conventional assumptions, providing different perspectives on leadership and highlighting the evolving nature of management practices in the digital age. The study also explores potential differences between top IT managers and other C-level roles, investigating their implications.
The results of this research based on expert interviews are used in a broader context of research to triangulate literature analysis findings and quantitative surveys in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing top managers’ work attitudes. Semi-structured expert interviews were conducted to gain a comprehensive perspective on the influencing factors of work attitudes in top management functions. Six German experts participated, bringing diverse backgrounds and affiliations with professional associations. Despite varied perspectives, universal importance was identified in key work attitudes, challenging assumptions of significant differences between employer and employee representatives. A novel contrast between hierarchical and broader perspectives within owner and worker associations emerged, suggesting a need for a more comprehensive understanding of management approaches. Additionally, interpersonal factors in leadership, information flow, trust-building, were highlighted as contributions. Furthermore, distinctions and commonalities between IT management and other top managerial roles were identified. This study both confirms existing knowledge and introduces valuable insights to management science, potentially shaping future research and practices.

Authors: Castilla Adolfo 
Published: January 2024

Lawrence R. Klein murió a los 93 años, el 20 de octubre de 2013. Su vida profesional ha sido larga y fructífera. Se mantuvo muy activo hasta los 87 años y el autor de este trabajo ha sido testigo directo de ello. Ha sido para él, maestro, mentor y amigo, y la colaboración de los dos se ha mantenido a lo largo de más de cuarenta años. Desde el punto de vista de la economía y de la econometría la carrera de Klein ha sido larga y variada, habiendo trabajado en áreas muy diversas. Como su vida y su obra son muy conocidas, en este trabajo, hecho en su homenaje, se hace referencia a lo que ha sido su última etapa de trabajo, muy relacionada con los modelos econométricos de Alta Frecuencia y con el mantenimiento del Proyecto LINK como un modelo de referencia de predicción económica mundial. Se combina la explicación del papel que tiene la econometría en nuestro mundo avanzado con algunos aspectos técnicos relacionados con las áreas de actividad mencionadas y con lo que podría ser una próxima etapa de evolución de esta disciplina.
Forecasting Accuracy of a Multi-Country Macroeconometric Model for the Former Yugoslavia
Authors: Weyerstrass Klaus 
Published: January 2024

In this paper, the forecasting performance of a structural multi-country model for Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is compared to the forecasting ability of ARMA and VAR models. It turns out that in many cases the time series approaches deliver more accurate predictions of economic growth, inflation and the unemployment rate than the structural model which is based both on economic theory and on time series for the included countries. This shows that it is not so easy to beat time series models in forecasting. However, the usefulness of structural models should not be evaluated on the basis of their forecasting performance alone, since these models can in addition be used to investigate the macroeconomic effects of policy measures or of exogenous shocks.

Authors: Booth Philip , Niemietz Kristian 
Published: January 2024

The present study makes a proposal for a pensions reform in the current retirement system in the United Kingdom. Taking into account the historical evolution of the pension system since the Second World War and the characteristics of the pay-as-you-go system (PAYG system) which was reinforced in the last ten years, we propose a new pension scheme based on voluntary private contributions made by each worker to provide her proper retirement and to complement the public pension.

En esta línea, los objetivos que se plantean en este trabajo son varios: (i) analizar la evolución del envejecimiento de la población española, con el fin de estimar cuáles serían las futuras prestaciones de los pensionistas; (ii) estudiar la dinámica de los afiliados a la Seguridad Social y la cuantía de sus contribuciones; (iii) determinar si en el futuro será sostenible el sistema actual y si no fuera así, estimar en qué momento se produciría su ruptura; y (iv) proponer medidas adecuadas para que en el futuro dicho sistema sea sostenible.
Antecedentes históricos del seguro de jubilación en España: De la capitalización al reparto (1909-1939)
Authors: López-Zafra Juan Manuel , De Paz-Cobo Sonia 
Published: January 2024

El sistema de pensiones español nace en una época convulsa para tratar de apaciguar los ánimos de una clase trabajadora que exigía cambios en su situación. La creación del Instituto Nacional de Previsión da lugar al establecimiento de un sistema de libertad subsidiada por el que los trabajadores se adscribían voluntariamente y cuyas cuotas eran pagadas por empresarios y estado. En 1919 se sustituye por un sistema de afiliación obligatorio pero siempre bajo el régimen de capitalización. Tras distintas mejoras para lograr una mayor penetración, en 1939 se da por concluido ese período y se sustituye por uno reparto, que perdura hasta nuestros días.

Authors: Kompa Krzysztof , Witkowska Dorota 
Published: January 2024

The significant increase of the old-age-dependency ratio in Poland after the collapse of the centrally planned economy required transformation of the retirement system to adopt it to the current situation. Therefore the essential reform of the pension system in Poland took place in 1999, when the one-pillar – pay as you go system was replaced by the three-pillars system consisting of mandatory, pay-as-you-go pillar; mandatory, fully funded pillar; and voluntary, funded pillar. However problems concerning budget deficit in Poland caused that the Polish government introduced essential changes concerning distribution of the pension contribution between both mandatory pillars and in the pension funds’ portfolio composition in 2011 and 2013. The aim of the research is to analyze the performance of the pension system in Poland in the years 2000-2013. The performance of private pension funds will be evaluated and compared to the “performance” of so-called national scheme.

Authors: Qian Li , Jia Cheryl Lee Ker , Cheng Tze Ning , Yen Elaine Tan Li 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
This study aims to investigate the success rate of orthodontic traction of impacted teeth using the gold chain bonding (GCB) procedure.

Material and Methods:
Orthodontic patients underwent the GCB procedure at the National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS) between 2014 and 2021. The sample comprised 495 teeth from 421 patients (238 male, 257 female; median age 14; range 7 -38 years). The historical records of these patients’ orthopantomograms and electronic medical records were reviewed to collect data on age, gender, ethnicity, tooth type, and surgical re-intervention. The success rate was calculated and compared using chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
The overall success rate of the GCB procedure was 93.3%. There was no significant difference in the success rates between male (92.9%) and female (93.8%) patients (P = 0.779) or between Chinese (93.2%), Malay (94.4%), and Indian (91.7%) patients (P = 0.664). Younger patients have significantly higher odds of success than older patients (P = 0.0099, odds ratio = 0.897). The success rate was highest for the upper lateral incisors (97.4%) followed by upper central incisors (94.7%). The success rate of surgical re-intervention of the GCB procedure was 69%.

Conclusion:
Gold chain bonding is a highly predictable procedure for orthodontic treatment of impacted teeth with a high success rate especially in younger patients. Gender and ethnicity do not significantly affect the success rate.
