Gikas, Grigorios; Tagkas, Periklis In Eurozone countries with a lower level of development, the current disturbances hit important sectors of the economy and have a more negative impact on economic enlargement and employment than in the rest of the Eurozone countries. In this paper we try to evaluate the Greek experience in the Eurozone and highlight the problem of competitiveness, which is related with the lower level of development. Finally, we examine whether and how much the evolving exchange rates contribute to the stability of the economy or, instead, to the aggravation of its imbalances. Finally, the conditions for exit from the crisis are presented, in order for Greece to continue to participate in the Eurozone.

Changing circumstances provide for banks opportunities as well as challenges. One aspect of the competitive challenges faced by retail banks lies in the management of human resources. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the problem of job satisfaction based on the results of research conducted in the Greek banking sector. Multiple theoretical frameworks regarding motivation and job satisfaction are used as the theoretical guide. The author examines the effect of individual attributes, job characteristics and organizational variable on job satisfaction. In the second part of the paper the study investigates the interaction effect of job satisfaction and work motivation and productivity. Responses gathered by means of a questionnaire survey from Greek banks were generated and analyzed using correlation analysis.

Despite the passage of time, Great Britain’s stand on this matter has not changed, although the last worldwide economic crisis and its consequences intensified discussion whether from Great Britain’s point of view it is worth considering possibilities of joining the euro zone. The aim of the paper is to present determinants of functioning of Great Britain in the European Union and an analysis of possible opportunities and threats which are connected with its accession to the single-currency area. Looking at the history of Great Britain, one may have an impression that what is more important for that country is keeping independence and remaining a “world” economy than turning the potential benefits to its advantage at the cost of resignation form independence and degradation to the role of a “European” country. Especially that the current economic crisis has revealed the weaknesses of the euro zone and proved that the zone as a whole has not worked out proper mechanisms of operating in a crisis situation.

If the amount of critical deficits is in excess over the total accessible surplus of international capital flows, it inevitably leads to a violent and forced correction of the current account and serious disturbances of the growth process. The breakdown of financing of payment deficit in emerging economies, partly may result from weaknesses of operations of regulating institutions that do not have sufficient influence on behaviours and attitudes of subjects participating in foreign capital turnovers. It requires however an appropriate recognition of the strength and nature of the reaction and behaviours of national subjects interacting with a strategy of domestic regulatory institutions.
