The military presents a specific environment for leadership study due to its extreme conditions. It remains unclear which character strengths are conducive to leadership efficacy in this context, especially as perceived by an officer’s followers. The previous research has mainly used quantitative approach, while other methods were underused. This study deals with the question of what character traits of an officer are most valued by their subordinates. Participants (N = 40) are from active-duty personnel of the 44th Light Motorized Battalion of the Land Forces of the Army of the Czech Republic. Data were gathered using three openended questions on an officer’s character. It was found that soldiers most frequently report Justice, Honesty, Decisiveness, Humanity, Dependability, Purposefulness, and Willingness with regard to an officer’s character strengths. These results imply traits that might compose the character-based leadership in military setting....
Recommender systems represent tools capable of providing suggestions based on large datasets or collections of objects in the user’s area of interest. Career recommendations have become more and more popular, as they are able to offer guidance and help people build their most suitable future professional path. Without any doubt, electronic profiling can improve the automatization and accuracy of the recommendation process. Our paper presents the process of electronic profiling used in the CareProfSys research project; a smart career profiler based on semantic data fusion. The research methodology includes the analysis of a job survey filled in by university students, containing similar information as that included in a LinkedIn user profile. In a detailed case study, we further perform the analysis of the web and multimedia systems developer job which is of interest to most respondent students. All results and conclusions will be used in improving the construction of the user profile and the recommendation process of the CareProfSys....
The volume of unstructured data at enterprises is growing and there is a great demand for solutions that can process data and for people who know the relevant technologies. By structuring data and viewing them in the context of the corporate system, data support for decision making is created. Through technology, companies can currently dispose of a lot of data. The key task is their use in practice - correct interpretation. Today, there are many programs for their interpretation and visualization, which make it easier for managers to work in their daily activities - primarily when making decisions. The aim of the paper is to present the results of a content analysis of the justification for the use of data analysis in business practice and its subsequent interpretation through software support for the purposes of managerial decision-making, based on theoretical inputs. The article was processed on the basis of content analysis of documents from scientific articles and articles that provide information in the field of Big data. The article points out the validity of the correct use of data for decision-making by managers in the company....

Under the background of the pension system reform in government departments and public institutions, occupational pension is an important supplement to basic endowment insurance, and provides retirement income in the form of a complete accumulation mechanism. By constructing an actuarial cash flow balance model, this study calculates the replacement rate from occupational pension for “new people” who begin to work in government departments and public institutions in 2015 onwards, and analyzes its influencing factors such as retirement age, rate of investment return, contribution rate, wage growth rate, etc. The results reveal that delaying retirement, increasing the rate of return and increasing the rate of contribution have significant positive effects on the growth of the replacement rate. Meanwhile, the increase in wage growth rate has a negative impact on replacement rate. When the influencing factors are the same, the replacement rate of men is about 5% higher than that of women. The main reason is that the average life expectancy of women is longer. The policy suggestions are as follows: appropriately delaying retirement to adapt to the changes in demographic structure; optimizing investment operations to ensure investment return; improving rate of individual contribution flexibly to accelerate the accumulation of funds....
