Background/Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to produce an adapted Croatian version of the Negative Behaviors in Health Care Questionnaire and to validate it. Methods: The process comprised the translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of the questionnaire. Clinical specialists and qualified bilingual speakers participated in both forward and backward translation. Face validity was tested. The survey’s original developer approved the final version. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the test–retest method and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and assessments of divergent and convergent validity were conducted. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and R, program version 3.5.2., for Windows. Results: A five-factor structure was obtained and confirmed via CFA, although not all fit coefficients were satisfactory. The internal consistency reliability was 0.86 for the contributing factors and the seriousness of aggression, 0.79 for the use of aggression, 0.95 for the fear of retaliation, and 0.83 for the frequency of aggression; in total, α = 0.88. Test–retest reliability was moderate. All correlations were statistically significant, and the correlation was the highest for seriousness (0.754) and frequency of aggression (0.725) and the lowest for contributing factors (0.528). Test–retest reliability was satisfactory. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing respondents by gender, age, work experience, education, and hierarchical position. Conclusions: The adapted, translated, and validated survey provides a valuable tool for assessing lateral and vertical aggression between and towards nurses in terms of contributing factors, frequency, severity, uses of aggression, and fear of retaliation.

The success and failure of any organization largely depend on talented and competent employees. Through human resource management (HRM) practices and policies, organizations strive to ensure committed employees. One of the fundamental practices they use is undoubtedly material and immaterial compensation. Adequate management of such compensation may contribute to greater employee engagement in achieving the set goals, realizing the mission, and fulfilling the vision of the organization. In such ways employees confirm their affiliation with the organization, which classifies them as committed employees. The paper assumes that the adequate application of material and immaterial compensation in organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) may improve employee organizational commitment. This ultimately has a positive impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of organizations. The research was conducted in 128 BiH organizations with more than 50 employees across four sectors. The hypotheses were tested applying the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) through the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) values and Bartlett's test of sphericity and the regression analysis. The results show a statistically significant positive impact of material and immaterial compensation on employee organizational commitment. Creating more agile policies and practices of human resource management, especially those related to material and immaterial compensation, can significantly improve employee commitment as well as the entire organizational effectiveness.

Accurate health assessment of wild, semi-captive, or domesticated animals is essential for their well-being. Despite this necessity, limited studies have been conducted on deer species, and there is a paucity of information on the hemato-biochemical parameters of different deer species globally. Present study aimed to fill this gap by determining the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of fallow deer (Dama dama) maintained in semi-captivity within zoo environments for the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Present research involved six healthy male fallow deer, aged 2 to 5 years. The deer were immobilized using xylazine hydrochloride and ketamine hydrochloride, and blood samples were collected from the external jugular vein. The hematological parameters measured included RBC, PCV, HGB, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, RETIC, WBC, WBC differential, PLT, MPV, PDW, and PCT. Biochemical parameters included glucose, urea, creatinine, albumin, triglycerides, cholesterol, and enzymes (AST, ALT, ALKP, and GGT) activities. The results showed the higher glucose and urea concentrations and the same values for creatinine, triglycerides, and enzyme activities when compared to some previous reports. These findings highlighted the importance of considering handling methods and environmental conditions when interpreting biochemical parameters, contributing to improved health assessments and management practices for deer in captivity.
