Purpose: the aim of this article is to identify the place of social responsibility in the area of project management. The article is aims to determine the areas of interpenetration or mutual relations between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Project Management (PM). Design/methodology/approach: this paper reviewed different definitions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), project and project management. The article is an attempt to systematise the relatively new concept of Project Social Responsibility (PSR), which requires combining the CSR concept with a project approach. Since each company, apart from its current activity, carries out or will carry out projects in the future, the aim of this article is to identify the place of social responsibility in the area of project management. The article is of an analytical nature. Findings: none of the mentioned definitions of project management or the project itself referred to the company's strategy, social, environmental or even stakeholder impact. Moreover, stakeholders are one of the main reasons for the implementation of projects. Originality/value: the comparison made between 'CSR' and the term 'portfolio management' already indicates a greater correlation between these concepts. It may therefore be assumed that the place of Corporate Social Responsibility is in the portfolio management and involves planning and implementation of current activities, programmes or projects relevant to the company's strategic objectives and taking into account their impact, as well as the impact of the company itself on CSR areas.

Purpose: To diagnose causes of unsatisfactory (failure factors) of restructuring operations undertaken in public hospitals located in the Silesian Province (Śląskie Voivodeship). A level of achievement of an individual objective set for restructuring operation was a measure of their effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach: The present research study was conducted in three stages and preceded by pilotage. In the first stage, the process of restructuration as perceived from public hospitals was analysed, in the second stage - from the point of view of their establishing entities. Two survey questionnaires were used to accomplish these stages. The research studies were conducted among the management staff of 17 public hospitals and among 14 establishing entity representatives. The third step was aimed at assessing and sorting all the identified failure factors. The group expert assessment method was applied for its implementation by 20 people. Findings: The most common objective of public hospital restructuration was to improve the quality of provided services and then to reduce debts. The average degree of achievement of the first objective amounted to 75.2%, while the second - 67.7%. The research studies led to the identification of 30 factors which have a significant negative influence on restructuration; among them 'adoption of improper assumptions on the restructuring plan in relation to financial forecasting' was considered the most important. Research limitations/implications: The research studies were conducted in public hospitals located in the Silesian Province (Śląskie Voivodeship) and which operated as independent public health-care units. Practical implications: In order to conduct restructuring operations, public hospitals and their establishing entities should apply project management methodologies, under which they will plan and implement their restructuring operations. Originality/value: Studies have shown the effectiveness of restructuring hospitals located in Silesia and identified the factors that have a negative impact on hospital restructuring.

In the article, we present the literature research results regarding factors responsible for the image we hold of enterprises such as hospitals in Poland. A major part of such held image is that of the organization as an employer. Hence, in this paper, we identify the factors influencing the perception of hospitals within the labour market. Herein, identification of requirements is the first stage of a three-stage study devoted to image creation.
