For a successful realization of this research, 120 top karate athletes have been treated with application of 20 variables. The treated group of respondents has gone through the following variables: 6 variables of anthropometric dimensions, 5 body composition assessment variables, 2 variables for conative traits assessment, 3 variables for a motive assessment in sport performance and 4 variables for competition efficacy assessment. The research has also included a linear regression analysis that has determined the impact of the predictor variable system as a criterion for a competition efficacy. The predictor variable system has shown a statistically significant impact of the variables: a competitor’s score activity in a point (IPON), a competitor’s score activity in two poin...

Although rec-ognised as generally very important players, the role of women is oft en defi ned as invisible in business decision-making, supportive in men's traditional business domains and only rarely adequately recognised and rewarded. Th e paper explores possible diff erences in the views of men and women who manage small family fi rms. Th eir attitudes opposing the traditional business roles of women, diff erent views on managerial, ownership and tran-sition issues and possible gender discrimination are examined. Th e fi ndings support the paradigm of a diff erent, more feminine style of management, while signs of discrimination are not clearly revealed.

Empirically, sports skills and adopted motor movements in specific techniques reach a high level of performance. Due to this fact, these movements are rational, precise and efficient in sports battles. Karate sport consists of numerous groups of techniques, and hand and leg strikes belong to the most dominant group. The dominance of these techniques is reflected in the fact that they are the single scoring techniques, and they are the only ones to be evaluated in the scoring balance when deciding on the battle winner. The topic and goals of this research are based on the present knowledge and arguments, and they refer to the newly constructed motor test of situational motor space with top karate athletes, both juniors and seniors, and establishment of its measuring characteristics. The research was conducted with 34 karate athletes, members of the senior national team of Macedonia. The sample of respondents was defined as an intended sample drawn from the population of male karate athletes. The obtained results are pointing towards the existence of the tests satisfactory measurement characteristics’, or factor validity, high level of sensitivity and very high coefficient of reliability (Cronbach α = .934 I Spearman-Brown = .935) and also high inter correlation coefficient which are pointing towards the fact that the eventual error during the measuring process is very small and insignificant.

We used quantitative approach to analyze the survey results, conducted among senior students at university level in macedonia and slovenia. certain differences in the attitudes of students in the two countries were identiied. We believe that the suggested topic will provide recommendations for improving the entrepreneurial businesses succession motivation among students.

The motivation was to explore the possible perspectives of the health-organization management system in comparison to other business forms. The hypotheses were tested through a questionnaire that was mailed to managers in health-care institutions. It has been confirmed to a certain degree that managers with a medical training background have different managerial scopes, oriented more to their own profession, including economics of their organization, need for enhanced knowledge and, their managerial style. The implications of the study are at two levels. The future design of training programs for top and middle management institutions will be influenced by the results and findings. At the other level, the implications are expected to arouse interest in the field of multidisciplinary education course design as well as some providing possible background for development of business consulting services in the field.
