The subject of the Sixth World Conference of Sport and Environment in Nairobi (Kenya) was "Sport, Peace and Environment". The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) were the organizers of the conference. More than 350 delegates representing about 100 different countries, IOC, International Sport Federations, National Olympic Committees, Olympic Games Organizing Committees, United Nations (UN), UNEP, and other representatives of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, specialists of international relations, scientists, the best athletes of the world, including famous runners of Kenya, took part in this conference. About 50 presentations were given. Environmental problems cause a huge headache for the whole world because of the influence for our daily life. Nowadays sport as an entertainment and physical training is integral part of our society. Actually sport influences environment in the same way as environment influences sport. IOC cannot solve such international problems as environment protection and its heritage with the help of Olympic movement and plenty of volunteers only. Considering the fact that all responsibility for environmental protection and world peace depends on authority, our input must be refilling each of mentioned aspects. Announcers have confirmed that IOC is trying to play very important role in this activity field as the main sport promoter. We can take people's fancy to the beauty of nature and inform them about environmental degradation risk through the sport. In this case global and local environment are natural partners for Olympic ideals and Olympic movement commonly. Environment is the third aspect of the Olympic world view. The resolution was adopted at the conference; all the Olympic family was invited to promote and to throw up sport and environmental problems. Sport is very good in nations integral function realization, it depolarizes different cultures, teaches to solve conflicts and contradictions in humane way and has very big educative power.

There isn't enough information about the components that influence a business solvency in scientific literature. In order for business to prepare for a change in solvency. Methodological analysis evaluates the resulting variables: cash flow, obligations, fixed asset and current assets change, Share capital, their relative indices, but it excludes external influence on these variables. The goal of the research was to evaluate the business environment factors impact to the solvency of businesses. During the evaluation of the business environment only macroeconomics influence on solvency was analyzed, because of the research goal, internal insolvency reasons weren't evaluated. We chose these independent variables: GDP value and its change in Lithuania and the European Union, inflation, unemployment rate, tax burden, shadow economy scale, corruption control index , the amount of companies in the sector, the amount of bankrupt companies in the sector and Lithuania, interest rates, cargo turnover change in the country, political stability and government efficiency indicators. Business environments influence on companies solvency was assessed using the linear regression method. Sample for the research – warehousing and logistics related services businesses divided into groups by their employee quantity. According to the findings made, businesses solvency is statistically highly correlated with external influences and every one of these influences were calculated individually using linear regression equations. This showed the external influences severity on the chosen variable. A conclusion was made that business environment influence on a companies solvency is different from dependent variable solvency rating and companies size. During the evaluation statistically important ties were found in companies, which employ more than 49 employers. Other relationships that were found: interest rates and inflation growth reduce a companies solvency rating, Shadow economy decrease and the increase of corruption control increases the companies debt coefficient. The increase of businesses in the particular sector reduce companies debt coefficients.

The relevance of the research. The emergence of temporary employment as an atypical form of work organization has become a relevant topic in the research of human resource management processes. Researchers analyze temporary employment not only as an atypical form of work organization, but also note that its practical use in labour market is characterized by flexibility while integrating workers into labour market and improving the productivity of the companies. The problem of the research. There is the lack of research and findings in scientific literature on temporary employment companies, empowering to reveal the flexibility of temporary employment management, its improvement and factors affecting it. There is little discussion among researchers about temporary employment as a flexible form of work organization, the tripartite relationship between a temporary employee, a temporary employment company and a user of temporary work. Specific and narrow issues are most often analysed. The description of the problem in this article can be summarized by the following problematic question: What are the factors that influence the management of a temporary employment company? Object of the research: factors that influence the management of a temporary employment company. Aim of the research: to disclose the factors determining the management of the activities of a temporary employment company. Research methods: Focus group, analysis of scientific literature, systematization, generalization and comparison, analysis of the contents of legal acts, statistics and other documents, methods of deduction and theoretical modelling, analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific statements and empirical research findings based on them, presentation of interpretations. Temporary employment is one of the forms of precarious employment and non-standard employment relationships. Unconventional employment patterns, in particular short-term and temporary work, have spread in many countries over the last few decades, but there is no universally accepted definition of temporary employment in scientific literature, as each country sets up their own specific regulation of employment. Temporary workers are usually considered to be workers who have concluded employment contracts for a specific period or for specific jobs, or those who have seasonal, casual or occasional work. It is widely recognized that temporary work improves the flexibility of labour market, has a positive economic impact, reduces unemployment and rapidly addresses temporary human resource shortages in companies. The form of temporary employment is convenient for disabled people, people with children and students for flexible integration into labour market, as it allows to take into consideration the mutual interests of the company and the temporary worker. Temporary employment services are provided by companies and agencies officially registered for these activities, which include the following functions: search and selection of employees, employee work accounting, employment contracts, etc. In Lithuania, the activities of temporary employment companies are regulated by the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, and the criteria evaluation system of temporary employment companies is used to evaluate the activities of temporary employment companies. Every year, a temporary employment company has to submit a notice to the State Labour Inspectorate that it meets the established criteria. This article analyses a temporary employment company, coded as X at the request of its employees in order to maintain confidentiality. Information about the activities of this company in 2019 was provided by five company employees. The company has been providing temporary employment services in Northern Lithuania since 2012. The annual average number of temporary employees is about 70. The customers of the company – the users of temporary employment – are companies operating in manufacturing sector. The company establishes a tripartite employment relationship between a temporary employment user, a temporary employee and a temporary employment company, it employs a temporary employee and then sends an employee to work for a temporary employment beneficiary. The demand for services provided by Company X is determined by internal factors of collaboration with customers. Customers strive to minimize time and other resources and receive quality service. Manufacturing companies apply to Company X due to temporary increase in the scope of work, seasonality, sickness or holidays of employees. Company X expeditiously seeks the necessary employees for temporary employment in its existing database of job candidates or in labour market and then performs the necessary recruitment procedures. The company's activities are strongly influenced by external factors: legislative system, economic and demographic situation of the country, unemployment rate, the education level of employed employees and qualification improvement system of the country. A probabilistic analysis of opportunities of Company X and their impact on its business has disclosed that there is a high probability that a company can attract more customers in the course of different events and that this would have a significant impact on the company's business. The establishment of new divisions in other Lithuanian cities would also have a significant impact on this business, however, such establishment is unlikely. A probability analysis of threats and their impact on its business of Company X suggests that automation of workplaces for the company would be the factor that has the greatest negative impact on the company's business, as it would reduce the need for temporary workers. New competitors, as a medium impact factor, have negative impact, however, due to the fact that the terms and conditions for engaging in these activities for temporary employment companies are high, the likelihood of this threat is low. The highest probability of threats is related to temporary workers, their experience, their qualifications and competencies, low motivation to work, low wages and the impact of emigration. There are five temporary employment companies operating in Šiauliai city and region. The analysis of the competitive environment of Company X revealed that the price of the service is the most important factor for success of five companies in Šiauliai city and region, as the importance of this factor was evaluated by high scores of 2-3,5 by competitors. This is followed by the available base of temporary staff, the image of the company in society and among customers. The timing of service orders is significantly more important to Company X than to other four companies, and conversely, the cost of temporary employment service is much more important to other four companies. In terms of competitiveness, Company X is the second of five companies. As the gap in the estimates of competitiveness is not large, it can be stated that all five temporary employment service companies operating in Šiauliai city and region are similarly competitive.
