REAL ESTATE MARKET FLOWS IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Faton Shabani

Abstract

In general terms, real estate constitutes property in the form of land or buildings, including agricultural and construction land, but also buildings for residential, commercial or industrial purposes. The real estate market today is not only very complex but also constantly challenged in terms of development and perfection. The complexity stems mainly from the characteristics of the subject matter being traded. First, the complexity is imposed by the practical division of the market into that of sale and rent. Second, the forms in which real estate is presented on the market are so segmented and diverse: household, commercial, industrial, agricultural, construction and other real estate. Data on this market in the Republic of North Macedonia is officially managed by the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre through the Register of Prices and Leases. From the perspective of the methodology used by the Agency for the processing and presentation of data, there is an improvement in this methodology with the aim of providing the most complete, detailed and concise data. The processing of statistical data for the time period 2016-2024, for which data is provided by the Register, results in findings that confirm that the greater number of sale or rent transactions does not automatically imply the greater monetary value of the respective transactions.

Keywords: real estate, market, sale, rent, North Macedonia, Register of Prices and Leases, statistical data, 2016-2024.

Title of Presentation:Employee Engagement and Gamification

Abstract:In the current fast-paced workplace, enhancing employee engagement poses a significant challenge for organizations aiming for excellence. This case study examines the creative use of gamification as an effective method to boost employee participation and satisfaction. By incorporating game-like elements into work activities, businesses can turn routine tasks into engaging experiences that align with employees' fundamental desires for achievement, connection, and recognition. The research provides a thorough analysis of various organizational applications, demonstrating how gamification strategies—such as interactive challenges, reward systems, and team competitions—can greatly improve workplace culture. The results indicate that when these gamified elements are carefully implemented, they not only increase engagement but also foster a sense of belonging and teamwork among employees. Furthermore, the study reveals that gamification can enhance performance and encourage continuous learning, ultimately resulting in higher retention rates and job satisfaction. By aligning gamification with organizational objectives, leaders can create a dynamic work environment that promotes innovation and personal development. This study is a valuable resource for organizations seeking to utilize gamification as a strategic tool to enhance employee engagement. It offers practical insights and recommendations for effective gamification initiatives and proposes areas for future research to investigate its long-term impacts on organizational success and employee well-being. Globalization, digitalization, and the pandemic have significantly transformed the labour market, leading to an expansion in the market and a high demand for employees. Currently, employers are grappling with a considerable shortage of both qualified and unqualified workers. Conversely, employees are increasingly reluctant to change jobs, return to traditional contract work, or even begin new employment. This has resulted in decreased engagement in organizational processes and overall performance. Organizations are compelled to explore strategies for attracting, retaining, and engaging employees through various modern tools and methods. Employee engagement has become a crucial topic for human resource managers, as it is directly linked to organizational performance, customer satisfaction, and financial outcomes. High levels of engagement help retain employees, maximize their competencies, and enhance organizational results. In this context, employee engagement can be categorized into individual, job, and organizational engagement. Gamification emerges as a powerful tool to boost employee engagement by transforming monotonous tasks into engaging and meaningful activities. It motivates employees by fulfilling their internal or external needs. Traditional engagement methods are no longer sufficient to meet key performance indicators, making gamification a potential new approach to work. Despite organizations' keen interest in gamification, there is a relative scarcity of research on its role in enhancing employee engagement. This paper aims to explore the impact of gamification on employee engagement across individual, job, and organizational levels. A quantitative empirical study assessed the theoretical framework linking gamification and employee engagement. The findings indicate that gamification has the most significant influence on individual and job engagement. The analysis of engagement factors reveals that gamification notably affects areas such as reward and recognition, procedural justice, feedback, distributive justice, perceived supervisor support, and opportunities for career development, knowledge acquisition, learning, and growth.

Abstract:Customer satisfaction plays a crucial role in determining the success and brand loyalty of an organization. This study, titled "A Study on Customer Satisfaction with respect to TATA Motor's Commercial Products," aims to evaluate customer perceptions and experiences with Tata Motors' commercial vehicles, focusing on Tejpal Motors, a dealership in Vapi City. The research follows a descriptive and analytical approach, using primary data collected through structured questionnaires from 100 respondents. The study assesses key factors influencing customer satisfaction, including vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, durability, comfort, maintenance costs, safety features, sales process, after-sales service, and availability of spare parts. Findings indicate that a majority of customers are satisfied with Tata Motors' vehicles, particularly in terms of engine performance (88%), fuel efficiency (85%), and durability (91%). However, some areas, such as maintenance costs and customer service, require improvements to enhance overall customer experience. The research concludes that Tata Motors' commercial vehicles meet customer expectations, contributing to strong brand loyalty. However, enhanced service responsiveness, better after-sales support, and targeted improvements in certain vehicle features can further elevate customer satisfaction. The study provides recommendations for both Tata Motors and Tejpal Motors to refine their offerings and service strategies, ensuring long-term customer retention and competitive advantage.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence and automation technologies in the defense industry has a wide impact from military operations to production processes. These technologies are increasingly being adopted in the defense industry to reduce costs, increase operational efficiency and accelerate decision-making processes. However, this transformation also brings with it various legal discussions in terms of international competition law and ensuring a fair competition environment in the defense sector.

This study examines the basic applications of artificial intelligence and automation in the defense industry, their effects on large-scale defense industry companies and the difficulties of small/medium-sized enterprises in adapting to this change. The applications of leading countries in areas such as the development of artificial intelligence-supported military systems, unmanned vehicle technologies and autonomous defense mechanisms are examined and how these technologies shape the competitive environment in the defense industry is evaluated.

In addition, the impact of artificial intelligence and automation technologies on market balances, state-supported defense industry investments and the process of compliance with competition rules are discussed in the context of international competition law. The legal and economic aspects of competition between large-scale companies and smaller actors in the defense industry are examined and predictions are presented on how regulations in this area may shape in the future.

As a result, how artificial intelligence and automation affect the position of defense industry companies in the global market and the legal difficulties that these developments may create in terms of compliance with international competition law have been evaluated. The study offers suggestions on how competition policies focused on artificial intelligence and automation can be created in the defense industry.
