Proceedings of Contributions from the International Scientific Conference Held on October 6, 2016 at the Faculty of Public Administration, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice

This publication contains contributions that were presented as lectures and posters by authors addressing the issue of human resources from the perspective of various scientific disciplines, especially from the viewpoints of management, psychology, sociology, public administration, and political science. The content and thematic diversity of the contributions examine, for example, modern trends in human resource management, perceptions of organizational justice, and the need for ethical codes.

The conference demonstrated that an interdisciplinary approach can highlight the shortcomings of identifying and understanding problems solely from the perspective of a single discipline. We are pleased to present this proceedings to conference participants and other interested readers. We believe that its content will be beneficial and useful for readers, serving as an inspiration for the further work of professionals not only in a single field, and thus the efforts of the authors and editors will not have been in vain.

We would like to thank the reviewers, listed in the publication’s imprint, for their cooperation and recommendations that led to the improvement of the contributions presented at the conference. Now you can enjoy the diversity of contributions primarily related to human resources.
