The Armed Forces are one of the most important employers at the local job markets, especially the military units located within the territories of specific municipalities. When compared to other employers, the units differ in attributes formed under the influence of inner-organisational processes and changes in the surrounding. Owing to the fact that organisations function facing various obstacles limiting efficiency of operations that may potentially decrease interest in working for the Army, this article focuses on their identification and formulating a proposal to introduce improvements, which have been assumed as the goal of the study. In order to achieve this goal, qualitative and quantitative methods were utilised, especially: analysis, synthesis, concluding and poll research (the survey technique). The poll research included 246 respondents – the soldiers and civil employees of the Army. Excel and Statistica programmes were used to analyse the collected material.

Jednym z ważnych pracodawców na lokalnych rynkach pracy są siły zbrojne, w szczególności jednostki wojskowe zlokalizowane na terytorium poszczególnych gmin. Jednostki wyróżniają się na tle innych pracodawców atrybutami kształtowanymi pod wpływem procesów wewnątrz organizacji, jak i zmian w otoczeniu. W związku z faktem, iż funkcjonowanie organizacji napotyka na różnego rodzaju bariery ograniczające sprawność działań, które potencjalnie mogą obniżać zainteresowanie pracą w wojsku w niniejszym artykule skoncentrowano się na ich identyfikacji oraz sformułowaniu propozycji usprawnień, które przyjęto jako cele badania. Do osiągnięcia celu posłużyły metody jakościowe i ilościowe, w szczególności: analiza, synteza, wnioskowanie oraz metoda badań sondażowych (technika ankiety). Badaniem ankietowym objęto 246 respondentów – żołnierzy oraz pracowników cywilnych wojska. Do analizy zebranego materiału wykorzystano programy Excel i Statistica.

Problematyka aspiracji zawodowych pracowników w kontekście sprawnego wykonywania zadań jest istotna, aspiracje są bowiem jednym z czynników motywujących ludzi do działania.

The article presents the aspects of socio-economic situation of Daugavpils and main points concerning its development. Daugavpils is a city in the south-east of Latvia. Russian Federation, Belarus and Lithuania are its close neighbours. Changes that occurred in Daugavpils in the 19th and 20th centuries are observed and analysed in the military and economic context. The main problem of the article deals with relations between local development and military units and also, military events in the history of the city. Daugavpils was founded by Ernst von Rassburg of the Teutonic Order in the 13th century. Its history is connected with Poland, Russia and Germany. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Daugavpils was a fortress city on the border between the Russian Empire and later, the Soviet Union. Economic development was enhanced thanks the presence of Petersburg-Daugavpils-Warsaw and Riga-Daugavpils-Orel railway connections. This was the main factor enabling the development of industry and trade. After the First World War the city lost many of its residents. They migrated mainly into Russia, because they wanted to save their lives and property. Many lost their lives at the front. In 1919 Latvia gained a status of an independent state and maintained it till the Second World War. At that time the Latvian Republic’s Zemgale division was stationed in the fortress. From 1940 to 1941 it was a unit of the Red Army and from 1941 to 1944 German forces occupied the fortress. During the Second World War it was a camp for prisoners – Stalag – 340 and ghetto for the Jews. From 1948 to 1992 Higher Technical Aviation School was located there. Nowadays Daugavpils fortress is an architectural monument of state’s value and it needs investment to renovate the buildings and commune infrastructure as well as cohesive land management. Experts who have prepared Daugavpils strategy underline that the city should concentrate on developing the services associated with culture, tourism and recreation for society. So, one of the possibilities can involve the transformation of inactive resource – the fortress – into the active one, which will promote the development of historical tourism and thus, the city itself.

The article presents a range of problems regarding changes in European higher education in the framework of Bologna Process. In particular, the article discusses the main assumptions of the process determining the creation of the European Area of Higher Education. Among them: the system of easily readable and comparable degrees and diplomas, system based on three main cycles, European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), promotion of students, teachers and researchers mobility, co-operation in education quality assurance. Poland has been participating in Bologna Process since 1999 and during this time many changes were implemented into civilian higher education system. However, the military higher education system is at the beginning of the process of indispensable changes that should be implemented until 2010. Dissemination of knowledge on Bologna Process in the military education system should contribute to the increase of understanding and acceptance of proposed changes thanks to which interrelations between Polish and foreign military academies and civilian universities will become stronger.
