A critical review of literature on-the-job training’s incidence and its effects in Company

Academic Journal of Business, Administration, Law and Social Sciences, Mar 1, 2017

It's aimed to clarify the type of training that companies ensure on the work place, the frequency of training. Is it true that a> er training, employees have higher chances of promotion and mobility? What are the benefi ts from the point of view of the companies for them? Is it measurable this investment in human capital? Knowing correctly the literature related to the questions above, it helps the policymakers to formulate the right policies for equality of earnings and accessing on-the-job training, decrease chances for gender discrimination and increase the long run return of the company that makes training among employees. There is a higher interest studying the incidence, determinants, and eff ects of company training, supported by more reliable data and sophisticated research techniques and instruments. On the other hand, as the interest for the topic increases, so the confusion surrounding this literature does. There are a few empirical articles for the case of Albania. Identifying the right literature and developments on the topic should help the other researchers to explore the fi eld and to contribute with updated fi ndings for Albania's work market.

The article tries to analyze the situation in the Albanian labour market, in order to identify the actual trend and to explain theoretical reasons and determinants that cause it. Using Labour Force Survey data it's aimed an empirical model to evaluate the determinants of employees' participation in vocational training in Albania. Based on the empirical literature such determinants can be person related, job related, and employer related. The findings from this paper will be compared with findings from the literature in order to see differences and similaritiesare.

Population, Economic Growth and Development in the Emerging Economies

European Scientific Journal, Apr 29, 2015

Despite discussions, one thing is clear: developing countries are not able to afford a very large increase in population. Unlike developing countries which are facing increasing number of population Albania has recently decrease of population. The main challenge for Albania is: population is ageing; this brings reduction in workforce participation. The methodology consists in using secondary data from World Bank reports for econometric approach, obtaining quantitative results through regression analysis, for a period of 24 years (1990-2014) with the purpose to examine the economic effects of the demographic transition in developing countries. The objective of this paper is to determine main demographic factors that affect economic development and economic growth in developing countries, empirically stated for Albania case. By identifying the factors that influence the economic decrease we have the opportunity to put forward in the future the best policies to ensure sustainable economic growth.

Accounting and Theories of Management, One Important Support of Albanian Reality to Distinguishing Financially Business Development in EU Countries

Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2013

This is of course the strategy that underlies the Basle Committee's thinking about capital adequacy regulation. The problem is that as given it is not a well defined strategy at all. If we think of a bank faced with repeated risks in a dynamic context, the question is how equity can be adjusted over time. In the banking literature the arguments have generally been phrased in terms of capital regulation. Thus, for instance managers' incentives to gamble for resurrection at some point could be contained by prescribing some level of capital. Other, non-capital instruments to control risk might however be just as effective. One could think of, for instance, direct supervision instead. Generally, such measures can be accommodated within the existing, capital-focus literature.

A causality analysis between human capital and technology change in Albania

European Journal of Economics, Law and Social Sciences, 2018

Following a long period of high economic growth, in the last quarter of 2008 the Albanian economy... more Following a long period of high economic growth, in the last quarter of 2008 the Albanian economy slowed down – and this trend has continued up to now. To achieve the previous performance Albania needs a new economic model – investing heavily in technology adoption, innovation and human capital (Fullani, 2012). Economists have suggested various channels through which human capital can aff ect economic growth. The first channel is when human capital is a direct input in the production function and the second channel is when the human capital affects the technology change parameter. So, it is clear that a lack of educated people may reduce economic growth, but it is unclear whether a more educated workforce will cause economic growth in Albania. In this paper, we have investigated a causality relationship between human capital and technological change in Albania for a period of 32 years from 1983 up to 2014, through the application of Engle and Granger (1987) co-integration technique ...

AM-Nov 3 rd , 5 : 00 PM Privatization , Liberalization of the Greek Telecommunication Sectors : a Social Cost – Benefit Analysis

The Greek Telecommunication industry as part of EU Telecommunication sector has experienced enormous changes in this period too. In this paper we have obtained the main economic indicators of the Greek Telecommunications industry, and report a social cost-benefit analysis of the privatization and liberalization of the Greek Telecommunications sector from 1998 up to 2009. Our results show that the net social benefits range from 62.85% to 145% of OTE‘s total annual revenues in 1998. This is a result well between the efficiency gains range obtained by Galal (Galal, et al., 1994). We can conclude that all agents seem to have benefited from the OTE privatization a...
