    An empirical review of public policies on the sector of SMEs in the European Union
    (University of Zielona Gora, 2020-06) Grigorescu, Adriana; Ion, Amalia Elena
    The paper aims to provide with a close picture of the SME public policies in one of the most prominent capitalist economies of the world, that of the European Union. In order to do this, a qualitative analysis has been undergone, on the basis of the following indicators: access to financial resources for SMEs, regulatory and legal frameworks for SMEs, and public assistance on information and knowledge about markets. Since there is no prior research on the subject, the implications of this paper have impact on the theory, practice and policy making. The results of the content analysis suggest that there is a contemporary structure to the European SBA, with a focus on a persistent business approach, based on the results of scientific research and market studies involving the problems raised by the now compact European SME industry. In the end, it must be acknowledged that the present research is only preliminary, and to better understand the mechanisms behind the European policy, further studies on the subject are necessary. Nevertheless, the paper has managed to point out that public policy in the SME industry represents one of the most important aspects of the EU-28 new economic direction.

    Participatory leadership and supportive organisational culture Panacea for job satisfaction regulatory role of work-life balance
    (Elsevier, 2024) Nassani, Abdelmohsen A.; Badshah, Waqar; Grigorescu, Adriana; Cozorici, Angela Nicoleta; Yousaf, Zahid; Zhan, Xiaoyu
    This study examines the direct influence of participatory leadership (PL) and supportive organisational culture (SOC) on employee job satisfaction (JC). Additionally, the research delves into the mediating role of work-life balance in the relationship between PL, SOC, and job satisfaction. Data was collected using 450 questionnaires through random sampling from hotels managing food security in Saudi Arabia. These findings indicate a direct correlation between participatory leadership, supportive organisational culture, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, work-life balance was found to mediate the relationship between PL, SOC, and job satisfaction. Given the importance of a supportive organisational culture for robustness, this study suggests that hotels, particularly those managing food security in Saudi Arabia, should prioritise fostering a supportive culture. They should also encourage democratic leadership and formulate strategies to help employees achieve work-life balance (WLB), leading to enhanced job satisfaction.

    Talent Management in Europe’s ICT Sector: A Data-Driven Perspective
    (SNSPA/Paradigm Publishing Services, 2026-06-29) Grigorescu, Adriana; Lungu, Diana-Cristina; Voica, Marian Catalin
    The information and communication technology labor market in Europe has become one of the fastest growing segments of the economy, reflecting the broader digital transformation that is reshaping industries and societies. Despite this growth, employers and policymakers continue to face structural difficulties, such as a limited supply of skilled professionals, uneven participation across demographic groups, and strong regional imbalances in the availability of talent. The existing scientific literature underlines the growing demand for digital skills but also emphasizes persistent challenges, including gender disparities, mismatches between education systems and industry requirements, and difficulties in achieving cross-border labor mobility. While a considerable body of work has addressed these issues conceptually, fewer studies have employed systematic quantitative evidence to measure the scale of shortages and their variation across European member states. This study applies a quantitative research design based on secondary data from validated European sources, including statistical databases and official labor market monitoring reports. The methodology combines trend analysis for the period 2012 to 2024, cross-country comparisons between highly developed and emerging economies within the European Union, and correlation analysis focused on the relationship between gender balance and skill shortages. The findings highlight four critical dynamics: a near doubling of employment in the information and communication technology sector over the past decade, the persistent underrepresentation of women with only 19.4% of specialists, pronounced regional disparities with some countries reporting more than 65% of vacancies as difficult to fill, and a forecasted shortage of up to 8 million professionals by 2030. By integrating statistical evidence with a talent management perspective, this research contributes to the field by demonstrating how real-time labor data can inform more effective recruitment, reskilling, and mobility strategies, ultimately supporting the sustainable development of Europe’s digital economy.
