Organizations struggle to strike the right balance between flexibility and security for remote work. With the major portion of the workforce in every country working from home during the covid-19 pandemic, employers might not have accounted for this scale of load on their IT infrastructure, not to mention their cybersecurity preparedness. Cybercriminals have been working to exploit this unpreparedness with regards to IT Infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to discuss increased cybersecurity risks of work from home due to Covid-19 pandemic, and as part of the study, a WFH cyber-attack mitigation framework has been proposed with eight simple but effective steps to mitigate and prevent these cyber-attacks....

The development of the organisation is a multi-dimensional trajectory and as such there is no specific classification for its description. Developing a theoretical model of the organisation’s development based on its orientation can provide a clearer understanding and picture of the successes or issues faced in any given point of its’ evolution. The purpose of the research is to identify the orientation elements describing the path of the cultural organisation development. Identifying and developing a theoretical model appears to be a fundamental component of the functioning of the cultural organisation’s orientations, given that different organisations consist of various elements, which are utilised to describe their scope. The exploratory, single case study was conducted to determine whether the assumptions about these orientations made by the authors of the publication are correct. The following data analysis methods were used in the study: referring to theoretical assumptions and participant observation. The study confirmed that data are incomplete, but sufficient to describe the activities of the cultural organisation. The set of orientations including product, process, function, design, technology and innovation, geographic expansion, network orientation, will be the baseline for determining the cultural organisation's development path. The research results also show that the dimensions of cultural institution orientation are not the same as the assumptions made. This indicates the need for further in-depth research in this field and requires consideration of whether there is a common set of dimensions describing individual orientations....
Work is the main part of an adult's life. It significantly influences people's ideas and views, shapes their attitudes and life aspirations. For some, it becomes just a means of livelihood. For others, it is a way of expressing and making their personality real. Work shapes the way people perceive, think and behave. Its place in the employee’s value system has a significant impact on their attitude: activity, mediocrity, passivity or negation. The leading determinant of the way people perceive the workplace is the image of the organizational climate that exists in each organization. The main goal of the article is to present the author's concept of a pro-efficiency model of the organizational climate in theoretical terms, as well as its practical approach. The key added value of the article is the indication of the components of the organizational climate that are particularly important in the process of raising the level of selected parameters for assessing the organizational effectiveness of enterprises, taking into account the opinions of people employed in blue-collar positions, non-manual workers without subordinate employees and managers. The results of the research allowed identifying the different preferences of the respondents, taking into account the adopted moderating variable....
In recent years, the problem of aging is becoming more and more serious, which is the core problem of the whole society. Through the research of elderly care enterprises in Chongqing, we find that there are 17 regional elderly care enterprise clusters in Chongqing. Through the further analysis of the data within the cluster, it is found that the areas with high concentration of elderly care enterprises cluster are mainly reflected in the large number and large scale, but the industrial richness is not high; while the regions with higher industrial cluster richness belong to small-scale industrial clusters....
The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a public health crisis globally and has compelled many people to work from home. Telework thus enables them to carry out their work remotely and to keep the company running smoothly. This study aims to provide insights for organizations in terms of telecommuting on effective communication, using combined desk research with synthesized data from various sources. The research identifies the benefits and drawbacks of telework in the first place. The author then discusses whether telecommuting will persist in the future. In the end, managers and employees are encouraged to enhance communication from several perspectives since telework will probably be realized in the near future. At the same time, companies and organizations should take quick actions as a response to the changing pattern of work....
