New employment groups according to the economic status such as employers, self-employed and employees emerged. The demand of skilled employees increased. Because of the changes in the labor market, the requirements for skills and competences were altered, which encouraged individuals to make a decision to invest in education. The purpose of the paper is to identify the macroeconomic indicators affecting the investment in higher education and to determine their interdependence with the indicators of educational system. In order to determine relation between the indicators of labor market and educational system it is necessary to estimate the strength of correlation between them. Analysis of macroeconomic indicators and educational system showed that the research of investments in higher education is an important issue.

Therefore potential students will be motivated on economic basis, but not psychological incentives or prestige. Examining the effectiveness of investment in education it is necessary to do the investigation, which could be used to predict what expectations individuals have from investments in higher education. It is important to examine the relation between education and increase in salary and their dependency.

- ItemThe impact of means of motivation on employee‘s commitment to organization in public and private sectors(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, 2013-08) Jasinskas, Edmundas; Zalgiryte, Lina; Giziene, Vilda; Simanaviciene, Zaneta; Ekonomická fakultaRecently, both in Lithuania and abroad, the interest of practitioners and researchers in employee motivation and commitment to the organization has grown significantly. The analysis focus on impact of motivation on the employee’s commitment to organization in the public and private sectors, but the impact of motivation on employee‘s commitment to the organization in the public and private sectors is rarely compared. Yet only comparison can help to determine the reasons why the commitment of employees differs by sectors. The purpose of this paper is to establish the impact of motivation on employees’ commitment to the organization in the public and private sectors. Analysis of scientific literature was used in order to distinguish the theoretical aspects of employee motivation and organizational commitment. Questionnaire of private and public sector employees was conducted and the statistical analysis of questionnaire data led to the evaluation of the impact of employees’ motivation on commitment to the organization in the public and private sectors. The results of this paper are consistent with the analysis of previous studies, which showed that an increased organizational commitment is noticeable in the private sector. In the public sector the means of motivation often include gratitude, recognition, good relations with colleagues, and in the private companies – the premium for the achievement of organization's goal, leisure events, and gratitude. The means of motivation have different effects on employees’ commitment to the organization. In the public sector compared to the private, relies on immaterial motivation means, i.e. rarer pay raises, encouragement premiums, which are inconsistent with the needs of employees. Whether the target of the means of motivation is an individual or a team, it has no effect on organizational commitment.
