Traditionally, it is assumed that gender and the type of employment contract affect the perception of job security. The research presented in this article was conducted by surveying 1,009 Slovenian ...private and public sector employees, and it includes data about six types of security. Their estimates were compared between employees with permanent and flexible employment contracts and according to gender. First, the normality of variables was evaluated according to skewness and kurtosis values in conjunction with histograms and Q-Q plots. The differences were then tested with a one-sided Independent Samples t-test and its non-parametric alternative, the Mann-Whitney test. Employees with permanent jobs evaluated the possibilities of an individual to access workplace training higher than employees with flexible contracts did. Men evaluated an individual's level of job security, the opportunity to have resources for a decent life, safe working conditions, and well-being in the workplace higher than women did.

The article presents the decision model for choosing the media in the performance of public relations (PR). The core of the model lies in the use of modern information methods with the accent on the ...artificial intelligence methods in decision-making processes which allow transparency and simple explanation of the decision knowledge and of the decision itself. The framework of the solution is the description of the realization of the model with the support of the DEXi system. The model covers the qualitative and the quantitative measures for the final choice. This allows a more wholesome overview of the media and of the goals the decision aims to achieve. The determined fundamental elements of the model are: the target public, the goals the organization aims to achieve via public relations, the resources assigned to the public relations, the messages to transmit to the public, etc. The criteria which form constituent parts of the decision model have been designed on the basis of public relations literature study and the practical experience of the Faculty.

PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Razprave o proznosti organizacij na podrocju dela so bolj pogoste v zadnjih letih, predvsem kot posledica gospodarske recesije. Strukturne spremembe in globalizacija vplivajo ...tako na organizacije kot na zaposlene. Organizacije morajo ostati prozne, da se lahko odzivajo na nepricakovane spremembe povprasevanja in se prilagajajo novim tehnologijam ter drugim vplivom. Za povecanje proznosti zato razlicno ukrepajo na podrocju obsega in casovne razporeditve dela, notranje mobilnosti zaposlenih ali na podrocju plac in stroskov dela. Prispevek prikazuje rezultate raziskave, v okviru katere se je ugotavljalo, ali obstajajo razlike glede proznosti organizacij na podrocju dela med zaposlenimi v javnem in zasebnem sektorju v Sloveniji. Analiza rezultatov je pokazala, da zasebne organizacije pogosteje omogocajo notranjo numericno, funkcionalno ter prostorsko proznost. Med organizacijami javnega sektorja pa so najbolj prozne javne agencije oziroma zavodi. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Discussions about flexiblity of organizations in the field of work are more frequent in the recent years, mostly as a result of the economic recession. Structural changes and globalization have had a severe effect on both, organizations and employees. Therefore, organizatiosn must remain flexible to respond to unexpected changes to the area of demand, as well as adjust to new technologies and other influences. Organizations implement various measures to increase their flexibility of work and timing of work and internal mobility of employees or in the field of wages and labor costs. The article presents results of the research which examined whether there are differences in the flexibility of organizations in the field of work between employees in the public and private sectors in Slovenia. The results showed that private organizations enabled internal, numerical, functional and locational flexibility more often than public organizations. The most flexible among public organizations are public agencies and institutions.

The central part of the article comprises a media choice decision-making model to be used in public relations. The model's essence is the use of modern information methods with the emphasis on ...artificial intelligence methods in decision-making processes which enable transparency and interpretation of knowledge used in decision-making and of the decision itself. Within the solution, a realization of the model base is described by means of the DEXi program system. The model takes into account quantity as well as quality choice criteria. In this way, a more holistic idea of the media and the goals pursued by the decision-making is formed. Basic elements of the model are defined, such as the target public, goals the organisation wishes to achieve in public relations, resources earmarked for public relations, messages to be communicated to the public, etc. The criteria that are part of the decision-making model were gained by studying bibliography in the field of public relations and concrete experiences at the Faculty of Administration of the University of Ljubljana. The criteria that were formed by studying practical experiences at the Faculty refer to the attainability of the target public. Since every organization has its own target public, the model would have to be adjusted to the concrete organization. When developing the model, this fact was considered, therefore, the authors of the article believe that the findings obtained can be generalized.
