SERGIO GARCÍA MAGARIÑO

This paper studies the new types of organizations and their management in the transition towards the knowledge society. Two holocratic management proposals are analyzed and they offer innovative productive factors, such as the learning and knowledge technologies, as well as experiences of talent development and personal and social transformation (typical of organizations with meaning and aligned with Horizon 2030 and with CSR 3.0). Also, this paper analyses two compared study cases, in different socio-cultural realities, such as ISCR in Costa Rica and ICGD in Spain. It is an attempt to systematize the proposals for organization, operation and results, offering a reference model for other organizations oriented towards the aforementioned model of knowledge and social transformation.

KRISTINA SAMAŠONOK, AGNĖ JUŠKEVIČIENĖ

Expression of social competence of students from different years of studies may differ. The aim of the research is to investigate peculiarities of social competence of students enrolled in higher education institutions in Lithuania, to identify their differences within groups of students learning in separate years of studies and to reveal interconnections between components of social competence. The strategy of quantitative research was applied. The values of social competence components within student groups of different years of studies were compared applying the Student's t-test. Using the social competence test (Ullriche, de Muynck, 1994; as cited in Lekavičienė, 2001), the students' social competence was assessed according to the scales of general self-esteem, resistance to failures and criticism, ability to express feelings, ability to ask for a favor, non-compliance, ability to demand and a sense of not feeling guilty. It was identified that the level of expression of social competence among students learning in different years of studies differs. According to the scales of ability to express feelings, ability to ask for a favour and to demand, significantly higher means of values were observed among first year students compared to the students of the second year. However, self-esteem, resistance to failures and criticism and ability to express feeling of the latter were stronger expressed compared to the fourth-year students. The comparison of expression of social competence within the years of studies revealed significantly higher means of values related to self-esteem, ability to express feelings, non-compliance and ability to demand in the group of first year students than in the group of third year students. The third-year students' ability to express feelings was higher than that of fourth year students. Stronger expressed self-confidence, resistance to failures and criticism as well as ability to express feelings were characteristic of first year students compared to fourth year ones. The correlation analysis revealed statistically significant links among all the variables of social competence, and this evidences that the students tend to possess and employ the repertoire of interrelated components of social competence.
