Ρωσσίδης, Ι., Μπελιάς, Δ., Ασπρίδης, Γ. (2019). «Διαχείριση Αλλαγών και Ηγεσία » Θεσσαλονίκη : εκδ. Α. Τζιόλα & Υιοί Α.Ε. ISBN : 978-960-418-824-6 Έκδοση: 1η/2019 Κωδικός Βιβλίου στον Εύδοξο: 77113088

Οι ραγδαίες εξελίξεις στην οικονομία, στην παγκοσμιοποίηση, στην πολιτική, στις τεχνολογίες αιχμής, στη διάδοση της πληροφορίας έχουν ως αποτέλεσμα σημαντικές αλλαγές τόσο σε προσωπικό όσο και σε κοινωνικό επίπεδο αλλά και στον επιχειρηματικό κόσμο. Για να επιτευχθούν οι αλλαγές στον επιχειρηματικό κόσμο είναι απαραίτητη η ύπαρξη ενός αποτελεσματικού ηγέτη, ο οποίος θα έχει όλες τις δεξιότητες – ικανότητες να πετύχει το δύσκολο αυτό εγχείρημα. Οι αλλαγές είναι σημαντικές για την επιβίωση του ανθρώπου και την ανάπτυξή του σε ένα ανταγωνιστικό περιβάλλον. Σύμφωνα με έναν από τους πλέον κλασικούς ορισμούς για την οργάνωση «οργάνωση είναι ένα σύστημα συνειδητά συντονισμένων δραστηριοτήτων ή και δυνάμεων δύο ή περισσοτέρων προσώπων, όπου με βάση τη μεταξύ τους επικοινωνία στοχεύουν στην επίτευξη ενός ή και περισσοτέρων κοινών στόχων» (Ασπρίδης κ.ά., 2018∙ Μουζέλης, 2009 : 157). Ως εκ τούτου και οι οργανώσεις αποτελούν μέρος αυτού του συστήματος και ακολουθούν τη Δαρβινική θεωρία, ότι δηλαδή επιβιώνει αυτή η επιχείρηση που μπορεί να προσαρμόζεται στις αλλαγές και όχι απαραίτητα η πιο ισχυρή επιχείρηση. Η αλλαγή συνδέεται με την καινοτομία. Αναφέρεται στη συνεχή διαδικασία ανάπτυξης και αναδιοργάνωσης και συνδέεται με τον μετασχηματισμό, περιλαμβάνει όλες τις εμπλεκόμενες ομάδες και οδηγεί στη διαμόρφωση νέων πρακτικών και αποτελεσμάτων για την επιβίωση της επιχείρησης. Η αποτελεσματικότητα της αλλαγής συνδέεται άμεσα με τη συστημική θεώρηση. Όσο πιο ανοιχτό είναι το σύστημα τόσο πιο επιρρεπές είναι στην αλλαγή, ενώ αντίθετα όσο πιο κλειστό είναι τόσο πιο δύσκολο είναι να επιτευχθεί η αλλαγή. Οργανωσιακή αλλαγή η οποία μπορεί να προέρχεται τόσο από το εσωτερικό της οργάνωσης όσο και από τις επιδράσεις του εξωτερικού περιβάλλοντος. Εδώ ακριβώς εμφανίζεται ο ρόλος του ηγέτη ο οποίος πρέπει να είναι σε θέση να αντιμετωπίσει την αλλαγή στην οργάνωσή του, να εκτιμούν την καινοτομία και το νέο στις επιχειρήσεις και να διαμορφώνουν ευέλικτα προγράμματα ώστε να επιτευχθούν οι νέοι στόχοι. Ο ηγέτης οφείλει να χαρακτηρίζεται από συναισθηματική νοημοσύνη και να είναι σε θέση να αντιμετωπίζει τα πολύπλοκα προβλήματα. Άλλωστε η πολυπλοκότητα αντιμετωπίζεται με πολυπλοκότητα και ο ηγέτης πρέπει να λαμβάνει υπόψη όλες τις λειτουργικές διαφοροποιήσεις στο πλαίσιο των οργανώσεων και ει¬δικά των σύνθετων οργανώσεων. Ο ηγέτης είναι αναγκαίο να αντιμετωπίζει τις αντιστάσεις στις αλλαγές και να δίνει έμφαση στην ικανοποίηση των αναγκών των εργαζομένων, στην ανάπτυξη των διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, στην αναγνώριση του ρόλου των εργαζομένων και τέλος στην αποτελεσματική επίλυση των συγκρούσεων στο πλαίσιο των αλλαγών. Ο τόμος απευθύνεται στους φοιτητές Διοικητικών και Οικονομικών Σχολών, φοιτητές μεταπτυχιακού επιπέδου και τέλος σε όλους εκείνους που ασχολούνται θεωρητικά και πρακτικά με τη διαχείριση των αλλαγών. Η μελέτη αυτού του συγγράμματος θα βοηθήσει τους ενδιαφερόμενους να κατανοήσουν τα συνηθισμένα λάθη και προβλήματα, να παράσχει το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο και τέλος να παρουσιάσει παραδείγματα από την εργασιακή εμπειρία για την επιτυχημένη οργανωσιακή αλλαγή.

The purpose of this study was: a) to investigate the level of "Work Engagement" and "Perceived Work Stress" in the Greek Banking Sector, b) to examine if the demographic characteristics affect the "Work Engagement" and "Perceived Work Stress" and c) to reveal the relationship between these two concepts. The sample of this study was 238 bank employees. To measure engagement, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) (Schaufeli et al., 2002b, Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004) was used. To measure perceived work stress was used the questionnaire that had been designed by Cohen and his associates (Cohen, Karmarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). The results show that the level of work Engagement of bank employees was high and that bank employees experienced a high level of work stress. Moreover, it was revealed that the gender, the age, the marital status, the level of studies, the year of service and the position that someone had in the bank affect both the levels of work Engagement and of perceived work stress. Furthermore, it was found that there is a negative correlation between Engagement and Perceived Work Stress.

Mpelias, D., & Koustelios, A. (2012). An application of ICT technologies on the teaching of accounting: the case of LMS. London International Conference on Education (LICE), London, U.K.

In the past years, the role of the accountant has changed due to the continuous development of the market economy. As we enter the technological era, students and teachers have both changed their methods of learning and acquiring information, making the implementation of ICT technologies in the teaching process of accounting a necessity. In the present study, we propose a research outline of a web based tool for the teaching of accounting in replacement of traditional classroom teaching. The main objectives of the present research are the following: 1) The application of an LMS system as main teaching tool of an accounting course and 2) The comparison of the LMS tool to traditional lecture type teaching method.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the levels of motivation among Greek bank employees. Motivation refers to the function of several factors, either internal or external, which are likely to affect and activate a person's behavior. Several aspects of motivation have been distinguished and described, like intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and a-motivation (absence of motivation). In addition, the employees' levels of motivation are likely to be affected by several demographic characteristics. For the collection of the data, the Work Motivation Inventory – Greek version (WMI-G) was used. The inventory was created by Christodoulidis and Papaioannou (2002), based on the Work Motivation Inventory created by Blais, Briere, Lachance, Riddle and Vallerand (1993). It consists of 35 questions under the general question "What pushes you to do this job?" corresponding to five factors: "Intrinsic motivation" (12 issues), "Identified regulation" (4 issues), "Introjected regulation" (3 issues), "External Regulation" (6 issues), "Amotivation" (10 issues). The answers were given on a seven-point Likert-type scale (1 = not responds at all, 7 = corresponds exactly). The sample of the study consisted of 172 employees of Greek banks and credit institutions. The results of the study showed that work motivation among Greek bank employees is likely to be partially affected by several demographic features, like age, gender and educational level. However, further investigation should be carried out in the Greek population, so that work motivation is well studied and promoted.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relation between motivation and job satisfaction among Greek bank employees. In particular, the study examined the possible positive relationship between the self-determined, independent forms of motivation and the factors of job satisfaction and the possible negative relationship between the non self-determined forms of motivation and the factors of job satisfaction. The research sample consisted of 172 bank employees. For the collection of the data, the Work Motivation Inventory – Greek version (WMI-G) was used. The inventory was created by Christodoulidis and Papaioannou (2002), based on the Work Motivation Inventory created by Blais, Briere, Lachance, Riddle and Vallerand (1993). It consists of 35 questions under the general question "What pushes you to do this job?" corresponding to five factors: "Intrinsic motivation" (12 issues), "Identified regulation" (4 issues), "Introjected regulation" (3 issues), "External Regulation" (6 issues), "Amotivation" (10 issues). The answers were given on a seven-point Likert-type scale (1 = not responds at all, 7 = corresponds exactly). The tool which was used for the measurement of job satisfaction was the Employee Satisfaction Inventory, ESI, created by Koustelios, 1991. It included Sdrolias-Belias-Koustelios-Golia-Koutiva-Thomos-Varsanis, 82-101 9 th MIBES INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 30/5-1/6 2014 83 24 questions, which measure six dimensions of job satisfaction: 1. Working conditions (5 questions), 2. Earnings (4 questions), 3. Promotions (3 questions), 4. Nature of work (4 questions), 5. Immediate superior (4 questions) and 6. The institution as a whole (4 questions). The research results indicate that the highest the motivation the highest the job satisfaction of employees. However, further investigation should be carried out in the Greek population, so that occupational phenomena like work motivation and job satisfaction are well studied and promoted

The contemporary cultural environment makes urgent the strengthening and the adjustment of production structures and supply of art and culture. It is certainly depending on the individual involvement, the evolution of the economic and social conditions, the requirements and the expectations for which the effective exercise of the cultural policy of each Member presents an outstanding priority consideration. It seeks that the produced cultural products have high quality and competitive nature, able to attract the interest of the public. In this context we should unavoidably takes into consideration the activities of the cultural enterprises, they are required to preserve their viability, to renew the productive operational practices and to meet the high cultural requirements of the area in which they are active. A typical case study of one of the most important cultural organization of Karditsa Municipality is the Municipal Cultural and Public Benefit Enterprise of Karditsa (DI.KE.K.). This organization attempts to outline the cultural environment, to identify the factors that are responsible for the organizations’ production weaknesses and last but not least we are going to propose a formation of a dynamic production network that is expected to ensure a high level of value and produced cultural products which can meet the cultural needs of the public in the local and the regional level.
