Kiekvienos organizacijos didžiausia vertybė - darbuotojai. Darbuotojų mokymas ir kvalifikacijos kėlimas yra labai svarbus personalo valdymo veiksnys. Tai padeda darbuotojų poreikius ir tikslus suderinti su institucijos lūkesčiais bei tikslais ir per tai siekti organizacijos tikslų. Išanalizavus teisinius bei reglamentuojančius dokumentus ir literatūrą valstybės tarnautojų mokymo klausimais, galima teigti, kad tarnautojų ugdymo sistema yra sukurta ir gali sėkmingai funkcionuoti. Numatyta mokymo organizavimo bei lėšų skyrimo tvarka. Mokymas organizuojamas, atsižvelgiant į tarnautojų nurodytus poreikius, o ne į organizacijų ateities planus. Tarnautojai, reaguodami į esamą situaciją, nenumato ilgalaikės perspektyvos, todėl ir jų nurodyti poreikiai atspindi tik dabartinę padėtį. Nors vyrauja nuomonė, kad mokymas reikalingas visiems, mokymo efektyvumas nėra maksimalus, nes vieno tarnautojo žinios toliau nėra skleidžiamos įstaigoje. Darbuotojai įgytas žinias stengiasi naudoti tik savo darbe. / The greatest value to every organization is its staff. Staff training and raising of qualification are very important factors in the management of the staff. It helps to regularize the demands and goals of the staff with the demands and goals of the institution and thus to achieve the goals of the organization. Having analyzed the juristical and regulated documents and other reports on the issues of staff training, it can be stated that the system of the staff training has been established and it can function successfully. The planning of training and the way of administering the allocations are also provided. Staff training is organized taking into consideration the demands appointed by the employees, but not the future plans of the organization. Responding to the current situation employees do not envisage long-term perspective, so their demands only reflect their current situation. Although there exists an opinion that training is necessary for everyone, the efficiency of training is not ultimate because the knowledge of one employee is not spread further in the organization. The employees use the obtained knowledge only in their work.

Darbo objektas - turizmo įmonių kompetencijos poveikis jų konkurencingumui. Turizmo įmonė yra savo firmos vardą turintis ūkinis vienetas, įsteigtas įstatymų nustatyta tvarka tam tikrai komercinei-ūkinei veiklai. Įmonę sudaro medžiaginių-daiktinių, finansinių ir nematerialių aktyvų, jos teisių ir pareigų kompleksas. Įmonė, kaip teisės subjektas (įmonininkas), gali turėti juridinio asmens teises arba veikti kaip fizinis asmuo (Lietuvos įmonių įstatymas, I skirsnis, Bendrieji nuostatai). Tiriamoji problema. Turizmo paslaugų kokybės užtikrinimas yra svarbus kiekvienai turizmo paslaugas teikiančiai organizacijai. Tik kokybiškų paslaugų teikimas gali garantuoti pakartotinius pirkimus ir turist����� skaičiaus didėjimą, kartu ir konkurencinį pranašumą, kurį tam tikra dalimi sąlygoja ir kompetencija. Šiuo metu turizmo įmonių teikiamos paslaugos pasižymi panašiomis kainomis, todėl klientui renkantis, lemiantis pasirinkimą veiksnys vis dažniau tampa ir kompetencija. Visgi, stengiantis išlikti tokioje konkurencingoje rinkoje, kokia yra šiuo metu Lietuvoje, kiekviena įmonė į tai turi dėti visas pastangas. Todėl kiekvienas paslaugos teikimo elementas turi būti maksimaliai kokybiškas, o kompetencija įmonę ir „stumia“ būtent šia linkme. Darbo tikslas – ištirti kompetencijos raišką turizmo versle ir įvertinti įmonių kompetencijos panaudojimą konkurenciniam pranašumui išsaugoti ar jį padidinti. Darbo tikslo pasiekimui išsikelti šie uždaviniai: 1. Išnagrinėti kaip verslo globalizacija įtakoja...

(The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania, Chapter I, General Provisions). Problem of the study: The guarantee of quality in tourism services is important to each company providing tourism services. Just rendering quality services can guarantee repeated purchase and increase in tourists’ number, as well as competitive advantages, which in some part are determined by competence. Whereas nowadays tourism service prices are similar in different companies, therefore a determining factor in client’s choice basically is competence. However, each company must make every effort seeking to remain in such a competitive market, as it is currently in Lithuania. Consequently, each element of services must be of the top quality, and competence “pushes” the company exactly in this direction. Purpose of the study: To investigate expression of competence in the tourism business and to evaluate employing of competence for competitive advantages with the aim to retain or to increase them in different...
