the consequences of blame avoidance in case of public organizations
LECTor SALuTEM
Dear reader,
You are holding the thirteenth volume of the Scientific Publications of university
of Pécs Illyés Gyula Faculty in your hands. our institution is a relatively young
faculty of Hungary’s foremost university. Pope urban V in his letter of foundation
considered Pécs an ideal place for spreading science. We believe that the same is
true for Szekszárd and our faculty, where generations are taught and educated thus
contributing to the development of the region.
This is what the title of the volume refers to, expressing our faculty’s affiliation to
the region and the town. The subtitle denotes continuity and our commitment to
scientific life. our aim is to provide applicable and up-to-date knowledge for our
students to succeed in life. This kind of knowledge is believed to serve the interest of
the region and Hungary.
From the establishing of our college in 1977 to the present, our faculty has fulfilled
a regional role in Tolna County and Szekszárd by providing a much needed
professional workforce. At first, this role focused on primary teacher training, then
after the political transformation, the training of social workers (first in Hungary)
fulfilled a social demand. Later our portfolio was enriched by fields of economics
and humanities. At present our faculty counts 1200 students, who are provided with
the necessary scientific capacity and modern infrastructure to be able to prepare for
their chosen profession and enjoy the unique university life.
This volume represents a colourful box of knowledge and research. It includes
nationally acknowledged mature research findings, as well as studies of colleagues
who are at the beginning phase of their careers. It also reflects the wide range of
research disciplines studied at our faculty.
We believe that our strength lies in our many-sidedness which enables us to make
our students familiar with a wide spectrum of research and science.
