Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present the results of research on the phenomenon of projectification of the social economy sector. The main reason for scientific inquiry is to try to understand the conditions needed for social entrepreneurship activity without the addictive role of projectification related to external financial support. Design/methodology/approach: The cognitive assumption is to identify a strong correlation between the activity of social enterprises and their receiving external funding for the implementation of projects under the system of supporting the social economy. The research on this topic was built on qualitative methods based on in-depth interviews and participant observation. The theoretical dimension conceptualizes the phenomenon of social projectification in social economy sector and explores the rationale for moving away from the addictive role of external funding projects to implement pro-social activities. Findings: The most important findings of the research concern the identification of structural prerequisites (conditions) that enable social enterprises to become independent of the institutional projectification system of activity in the social economy sector. Practical implications: The practical implications of the research results obtained can serve as a guideline for designing a more sustainable and long-term system of support for the development of the social economy sector within central and local government institutions. Social implications: Social implications are related to the possibility of applying the results of the research, that is, the identified factors decoupling from social projectification in the prac- tice of social enterprises and the institutional system. They can also serve as recommendations for the implementation of more resilient, flexible and agile ways of operating in the social economy sector. Originality/value: The originality and value of the article consists in discovering issues that belong to the research gap related to the development of the social economy sector beyond the traditional approach based on the projectification of social initiatives and institutional systems.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify the management dysfunctions and the functioning dysfunctions of a decentralized public organization. The research question posed by the author is contained in the inquiry: what external and internal factors reduce the operational efficiency of a decentralized public organization? Design/methodology/approach: The text is based on qualitative research. The researcher relied on 51 open interviews. The work was based on three main theoretical frameworks: the theory of organizational pathologies, the theory of organizational politics and the theory of bureaucracy. Findings: The research identified endogenous and exogenous sources of dysfunctions of decentralized public organizations. These include financing, lack of trust, bureaucratic structure, communication, unification and coordination, dispersed leadership, work organization, lack of trust, finances, top-down philosophy, qualifications, and lack of collaboration. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of qualitative research are the relatively small sample size and lack of representativeness. A natural continuation of the research may be the quantitative verification of identified dysfunctions and their sources. Practical implications: The research allowed to identify sources of dysfunction in the analyzed organization. Some of them are endogenous, so they can be eliminated by the organization itself. Knowledge about exogenous sources can also be used to improve the functioning of the organization, but with the necessary participation of external entities. Social implications: Understanding the sources of dysfunction and eliminating them can contribute to improving organizational efficiency, thereby enhancing customer service and the effective use of public resources. Originality/value: Understanding dysfunctions and their sources is important for theorists and managers overseeing public organizations. Knowledge in this area is crucial for streamlining organizations and prioritizing the changes being implemented.

The strive for a efficiency improvement of logistics processes also affects the wood biomass industry. A numerous areas within the reverse supply chains of wood biomass show potential for optimization in the context of the circular economy development. Concerning the reverse supply chain of wood biomass, it is important to precisely identify the essential parameters that determine the overall efficiency of supply chain. The aim of this study is to identify the control parameters that determine the efficiency of processes related to the pro- cessing of wood biomass, as well as the problems and solutions that occur within the reverse supply chains of wood biomass. An attempt was made to understand the specifics of the man- agement process through the use of a qualitative approach – focus group interview (FGI). The FGI was conducted among both operational and process managers. The results obtained have been classified according to specific groups of codes and have been analysed in depth. The results obtained show that the wood biomass industry revels potential for logistics processes optimalization throughout a proper management and key process parameters identification. The application of elements of the Circular Economy (CE) in the handling processes shows a great potential for process optimization. This is consistent with the wood-biomass industry’s natural drive to solve problems, minimize waste and have a high degree of adaptation within the dynamic and changing environment of reverse supply chains. Conclusions and recommen- dations formulated can be incorporated into existing reverse supply chains of wood biomass.

Purpose: The main objective of the paper is to identify the attributes of the value of religious products. Specific objectives include: conceptualization of the notion and perception of religious products from the perspective of an individual, determining the impact of secularization on consumer behaviour in the field of religious products, exploring and defining research areas that will constitute the basis for planned quantitative research, enabling the quantification of the analyzed variables and verification of research hypotheses generated during qualitative research. Design/methodology/approach: Qualitative research (N = 21) on the perception of the value of religious products was conducted among Polish Catholics. Additionally, the understanding of the essence of religious products was examined. Findings: The research shows that a religious product is defined and perceived by the respondents in various ways - there is no uniform approach in this respect. Considering the approach proposed by Sheth et al. (1991), the respondents perceive the existence of all five values in religious products, among which the relatively greatest importance is assigned to functional and emotional values. Research limitations/implications: The research carried out is of a qualitative nature and is burdened with the disadvantages of this type of research. It is not a representative study and can only provide a partial picture of the research problem. Practical implications: The paper has interdisciplinary and exploratory character, covering not only the issues in the area of religion and culture, but also economic, ethnographic and psychological aspects of human behaviour. The conclusions from the conducted research may provide guidance for enterprises offering religious products on the market. Originality/value: The original value of the article is the conducted own research, addressed to both consumers and enterprises operating in the researched industry. An additional value is also the approach to the research problem; so far, this type of research has not been undertaken in relation to religious products.

Purpose: The aim of the research is to identify the determinants of employee engagement in the public sector, with particular emphasis on factors supporting this engagement. Design/methodology/approach: The research presented in the article is based on ethnographic methods and was conducted in an organization responsible for state phytosanitary control. The researchers conducted analyses based on 31 open interviews. This approach included partially standardized interviews containing unstructured questions, using a scenario focusing on resource management. Findings: The results of these efforts identified financial constraints as a significant challenge in the process of improving engagement in the examined public sector organization. However, even slight improvements in equipment or financial motivation are perceived as motivating. A key factor in supporting engagement is the selection of employees with high motivation for public service. Research limitations: The qualitative research method does not allow for generalization beyond the analyzed case and similar cases. The determinants of involvement of public organization employees indicated in the interviews could be verified in quantitative research. Practical implications: Public administration, which usually cannot offer competitive remunerations with respect to the private sector, should put more emphasis on the development of HR departments, whose activities should be aimed at two areas: lowering employee retention (lowering the risk of losing organizational memory) and increasing their job satisfaction. Social implications: The case of public administration is unique in the context of social impact. Identifying the main conditions of public organization involvement can contribute to improving the efficiency of the organization, thus ensuring the efficient expenditure of public funds. Originality/value: Identifying the key conditions involved in a public organization is particularly important for both management theorists and practitioners. Knowledge in this area is essential for optimizing resource allocation processes and prioritizing actions to improve efficiency.

With the increase in the share, with variable production of renewable energy sources in power systems, many studies and expert opinions have appeared in scientific research and the energy market to determine their optimal technological and locational cooperation. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) has often been applied in this context. However, some key aspects important in energy planning have not been included in these analyses. This article presents the use of the Markowitz model (Modern Portfolio Theory) in analyzing the hybrid co-option of selected energy sources, assuming two approaches that take into account gross potential and constraints imposed by technological capabilities. The goal is to determine the optimal value of the participation rate of wind farms and solar farms in the energy production co-op assuming the minimization of risk. The value of risk here is determined by a measure of dispersion for the delivery of a certain amount of energy. The results of the analysis are the determination of a map of optimal values of participation factors between the components of the hybrid energy complex for the area of Poland. Analyses were made for gross potential, showing the possibilities of maximum energy production, and for potential limited by technological possibilities. The study used data characterizing the potential of wind energy and solar energy and temperature. The data used in the analyses are publicly available for research purposes. The analyses were supported by graphs and commentary.

This paper discusses the results of a study of the quality of space in hospital buildings in the context of solutions facilitating the orientation of patients in the space of the Outpatient Clinic, in the clinic building complex of the National Institute of Oncology in Gliwice (NIO). By combining qualitative research methods with a syntactic description of the space, the aim was to record the experiences of users and define objective design guidelines for the new visual identity system. Completed research walks testing selected patient routes in the clinic space made it possible to identify decision points as nodal spaces in the wayfinding system. On the other hand, the use of the Space Syntax method allowed the identification of key areas for signage visibility and orientation in space. The proposed method can be adapted for various types of public buildings, providing a flexible framework for pre-design research and analysis. Furthermore, the results show the potential of linking qualitative research methods with simulation-based user participation and digital tools for in-depth pre-design analyses.

Any proof of a hypothesis or research thesis requires the researcher to use methods that are optimally selected according to the organizational capabilities of the researcher, the adopted research budget, and, above all, the adopted research assumptions. An important factor is to optimize the possibility of obtaining a research result that most closely reflects the surrounding cognitive reality. In economics, which is included in the field of social sciences, an important plane of analysis is the so-called data, which the researcher must process and, using statistical methods, carry out the process of falsification or confirmation of the research hypothesis. An activity that broadens the cognitive value is qualitative methods and, more specifically, the information obtained using them. In this way, the researcher creates a comprehensive research process, in which quantitative methods are compiled with qualitative methods. Such a study is referred to as a method of triangulation of methods, which allows the researcher to confront the representative result of quantitative and qualitative research.

Każdy dowód hipotezy lub tezy badawczej wymaga od badacza zastosowania metod optymalnie dobranych do możliwości organizacyjnych badacza, przyjętego budżetu badawczego, a przede wszystkim przyjętych założeń badawczych. Ważnym czynnikiem jest optymalizacja możliwości uzyskania wyniku badań, który w największym stopniu odzwierciedla otaczającą rzeczywistość poznawczą. W ekonomii, zaliczanej do dziedziny nauk społecznych, ważną płaszczyzną analizy są tzw. dane, które badacz musi przetworzyć i przy użyciu metod statystycznych przeprowadzić proces falsyfikacji lub potwierdzenia hipotezy badawczej. Działaniem pogłębiającym wartość poznawczą są metody jakościowe, a dokładniej informacje uzyskane za ich pomocą. W ten sposób badacz tworzy kompleksowy proces badawczy, w którym metody ilościowe zestawione są z metodami jakościowymi. Takie badanie określa się mianem metody triangulacji metod, która pozwala badaczowi skonfrontować reprezentatywny wynik ilościowy z jakościowym rezultatem badań.

Purpose: The aim of the research was to identify views regarding the capability of enterprises as expressed by members of their managerial staff. The research paid particular attention to the issue of "dynamism" of capabilities, that is, the capability itself and how to distinguish dynamic capabilities from non-dynamic capabilities. Design/methodology/approach: The research was carried out using the qualitative method, by collecting and analysing the written statements of management representatives from twenty- seven companies of various sizes and industries. Findings: The ability to distinguish oneself from the competition is a basic issue in the formation of the company's strategy. However, as demonstrated in the literature review, the newer theory of enterprise capability, which is dynamic capabilities, is not only constantly changing, but the background is still not clear enough to be a useful tool for management practitioners. These findings have led to the formulation of questions as to what extent and how management practitioners use theories about organisational capabilities? How do they understand this issue and how do they put it into practice? Thanks to empirical research, it is possible to answer these questions. Seven clear differences were identified between dynamic and non-dynamic capability portfolios that are closer in character to distinctive capabilities or core competence. These differences are the main components of two different ways of understanding the logic of an organisation's operation. Practical implications: Empirical research has identified the beliefs that limit the ability to perceive the role or capabilities of dynamic capabilities in practice. The research also suggests a possible scenario for the dynamisation of the capacity portfolio. Social implications: The results of the study highlight the role of the linguistic representation of knowledge in the field of management and its impact on the pro-innovation ("prodynamics") of managerial thinking. In this way, they refer to educational strategies aimed at the professionalisation of managerial staff. Originality/value: This study presents real ways of understanding the issue of the organisational capabilities of management practitioners. The results may be useful for practicing managers, specialists in the field of managerial education, as well as researchers exploring the issues of dynamic capabilities and organisational competences.

W artykule przedstawiono założenia nowego standardu ISO dotyczącego sondowań statycznych, znacząco zmieniającego wymagania jakościowe tego badania. Wskazano na nowe klasy sprzętu oraz kategorie jakości wykonania sondowań statycznych, które zaczną obowiązywać. Zmiany te niewątpliwie wpłyną na wzrost kosztów wykonania sondowań CPTU o wysokiej jakości, co z kolei musi zostać uwzględnione przez projektantów w kwotach przeznaczanych na badania geotechniczne.

EN

CPTU (Cone Penetration Test) is a testing method commonly used for the identification of geotechnical conditions of the subsoil of bridge structures. High design requirements for these structures entail the need for high quality ground investigations. The article presents the assumptions of the new ISO standard for static probing, which significantly changes the quality requirements for this test. The new classes of equipment and quality categories for the performance of static soundings that will take effect are pointed out in the paper. The new ISO standard also tightens the norms for calibration and the degree of wear of survey cones. These changes will undoubtedly increase the cost of performing high-quality CPTU soundings, which in turn must be taken into account by designers in funds allocated for geotechnical tests.

Digitalization is changing many areas of society and has an impact on recruiting processes. Many companies are facing the challenge of making their application processes more attractive for potential candidates. The use of gamification is becoming a new trend, which is aimed particularly at Generation Y and Z, who have grown up in the age of digitalization. The potentials and challenges of gamification are wide-ranging for applicants as well as companies. The framework of a qualitative empirical study according to Mayring is used to investigate this research topic. A systematic literature review provides current findings of former research studies. The research design is based on interviews with HR experts. The potentials are reflected in a higher employer attractiveness, applicant quality and more efficiently designed processes. At the same time the implementation of gamification involves some challenges. This includes additional requirements, like digitalization and data protection, deterrent effects and finding the fitting target group.

Artykuł przedstawia założenia metodologiczne oraz plan działania do badań przestrzeni publicznej otwartej - terenu rekreacji i integracji społecznej mieszkańców oraz przestrzeni publicznej zamkniętej - obiektu przeznaczonego na zdefiniowane aktywności różnych grup użytkowników. Jako pole badawcze do analiz i rozważań przyjęto przestrzeń Ośrodka Współpracy Ekologiczno-Geologicznej GEOsfera w Jaworznie - obszar pełniący funkcje rekreacyjne, edukacyjne oraz integracyjne, mający wysokie walory przyrodnicze i krajobrazowe, stanowiący miejsce edukacji dla zorganizowanych grup dzieci i młodzieży oraz stację badawczą dla studentów i naukowców różnych dyscyplin. Nadrzędnym problemem rozważań jest kwestia należytego kształtowania środowiska zbudowanego, rozumianego jako przestrzeń zurbanizowana o przejrzystym układzie przestrzennym, wysokiej jakości oraz nowoczesnym standardzie użytkowania. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia metodologię badań prowadzących do opracowania wytycznych, które powinny stanowić podstawowy element studiów przedprojektowych w działaniach modernizacyjnych przestrzeni publicznych, pozwalających nie tylko na ich techniczną modernizację, ale także na przystosowanie do nowych potrzeb cywilizacyjnych oraz aktualnych wymogów legislacyjnych.

The paper presents the methodological assumptions and an action plan for the study of open public space - the area of recreation and social integration of residents and closed public space - a facility intended for defined activities of various groups of users. The area of the “GEOsfera” Ecological and Geological Cooperation Center in Jaworzno was adopted as a research field for analyses and considerations - an area with recreational, educational and integration functions, with high natural and landscape values, constituting a place of education for organized groups of children and adolescents, and a research station for students and scientists of different disciplines. The overriding problem of the considerations is the issue of the proper shaping of the built environment, understood as an urbanized space with a clear spatial layout, high quality and a modern standard of use. This paper presents the methodology of research leading to the development of guidelines, which should constitute the basic element of pre-design studies in the modernization of public spaces, allowing not only their technical modernization, but also adaptation to new civilization needs and current legislative requirements.

Badania nad analogowymi habitatami umożliwiają osiągnięcie w przyszłości funkcjonującego w pełni samodzielnie środowiska, które z pewnością pozytywnie wpłynie zarówno na eksplorację kosmosu, jak i na komfort życia na Ziemi, zgodnie z założeniami zrównoważonego oraz odpowiedzialnego rozwoju. Rozwiązania umożliwiające osiągnięcie tego celu to: gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym, wykorzystywanie surowców dostępnych na miejscu, potrzeba monitorowania wszystkich zasobów, łączenie architektury, natury i technologii w sposób spójny oraz harmonijny itp. Artykuł dotyczy przeprowadzonych badań i opracowanej koncepcji analogowego habitatu kosmicznego, wykonanych w ramach pracy magisterskiej (autor: inż. Wiktoria Dziaduła, promotor: prof. PŚ, Klaudiusz Fross, Politechnika Śląska, Wydział Architektury, rok akad. 2020/21). W artykule przedstawiono zakres przeprowadzonych badań dotyczących symulacyjnych placówek kosmicznych, wnioski z badań literackich i in-situ (na miejscu) oraz autorską propozycję samowystarczalnego, analogowego habitatu pod wodą, z wykorzystaniem m.in. rozwiązań ze stacji kosmicznych oraz łodzi podwodnych.

Research on analog habitats enables the achievement of a fully functioning, independent environment in the future, which will certainly have a positive impact on both space exploration and the improvement of the quality of life on Earth in accordance with the goals of sustainable and responsible development. These are solutions such as a circular economy, the use of raw materials available on-site, the need to monitor all resources, combining architecture, nature, and technology in a coherent and harmonious manner, and many others. The article concerns the research and the developed concept of an analog space habitat made as part of the Master's thesis (author: Wiktoria Dziaduła, supervisor: prof. PŚ, Klaudiusz Fross, Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, academic year 2020/21 ). The article presents the scope of the research carried out on simulation space facilities, conclusions from literature and from in-situ research, and an original proposal of a self-sufficient, analog underwater habitat using of e.g. solutions from space stations and submarines.

This paper focuses on rooftop gardens as a widely accessible space located on the rooftops of public buildings. Rooftop garden is a type of space which takes up a considerable surface on the rooftops of buildings, such as office towers, hotels, shopping malls, and serves the purpose of public space available to everyone. This relatively new public utility space arouses visitors’ interest, which is shown in the Authors’ research. This paper presents a qualitative research and results of the research conducted in three rooftop gardens in London. The investigations were concerned with: way of use, site attractiveness, maintenance and popularity level of each site in relation to the others. For this purpose, surveys were carried out among people who had visited at least one of the three study sites. Two non-participant observational surveys were also carried out during the warm and cold months. Conclusions were formulated as a result of the research described in this paper. During the research a profile of users visiting such public spaces as roof gardens was established. The characteristic architectural features of the roof gardens were also determined, so that their space could be considered accessible to all, attractive and willingly visited.
