Purpose: Identify the attitudes regarding key irregularities in university activities of universities referring to muda, mura, and muri from the perspective of two groups of stakeholders - academic teachers and administration/service personnel. Study design/methodology/approach: A pilot quantitative study using a questionnaire containing 48 statements regarding six categories of irregularities assessed according to the 5-point Likert scale. We asked two research questions: Q1. Is the questionnaire used in the study reliable for assessing attitudes regarding irregularities that occur in connection with work at the university? Q2. Which categories of irregularities most often accompany work at the university, and how is their nuisance assessed? Findings: The reliability of the research tool was statistically confirmed. Respondents represent an attitude close to indifference regarding the perception of most categories of irregularities. The most often indicated by both groups of respondents is "Unused creativity of employees.” Respondents consider all types a "nuisance" to a greater than moderate degree. Originality/value: We propose an original tool to assess irregularities in higher education institutions and apply it in the Polish and possibly international environment. These studies constitute an initial stage of the planned in-depth original research aimed at using the classification of irregularities/losses in surveys of the opinions of all higher education stakeholders (e.g., students, employers), indicating the critical causes of problems and directions of improvement activities.

Purpose: To present the results of consumer research in terms of the self-reported levels of recognition, sourcing, self-preparation and consumption of certain types of fermented food products in Polish households and to investigate the traditions of making these products at home in two macro-regions. Design/methodology/approach: Recognition of products, household consumption habits, sourcing of products (RHS) in Northern and Eastern Poland were explored. On-line questionnaire survey was conducted in households located in these macro-regions (n = 600). Data were analysed with Statistica 13.1 PL software, which included descriptive statistics and Chi-squared χ2 test. Findings: Pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut were the most recognized fermented vegetable products. These products are rooted in the culinary tradition of the households surveyed. Regional differences in terms of consumption, commitment to culinary heritage, engagement with traditional production at home and openness to new market propositions were observed. The region and place of residence influence the consumption of pickles, as well as related behaviours, customs and culinary traditions. Research limitations/implications: The use of a convenience sampling method limits the conclusions and the generalisability of the results. The findings have theoretical implications as they bring new knowledge about consumer behaviour that is mediated by home heritage and tradition, and region of origin. Practical implications: The results can be a starting point for food promotion agencies and for importers of ethnic food. The regional differences should be taken into account by food business operators. Originality/value: There has been little empirical study on the subject. The designed RHS model can be replicated in further research.

Cel: Zidentyfikowanie aktualnych norm dotyczących systemów zarządzania i ich rodzajów oraz znalezienie powiązań pomiędzy wymaganiami określonych norm a celami zrównoważonego rozwoju. Dodatkowym celem jest wykazanie, które z systemów w najpełniejszy sposób wspomagają organizację w dążeniu do rozwoju zrównoważonego. Projekt badania/metodyka badawcza/koncepcja: Praca uwzględnia trzy perspektywy – literaturopoznawczą, praktyczną oraz empiryczną (badawczą). Badania podzielono na pięć etapów i zastosowano w nich metodę analizy danych wtórnych (zastanych), metodę monograficzną, metodę analizy porównawczej, metodę syntezy i wnioskowania logicznego. Wyniki/wnioski: Katalog międzynarodowych norm dotyczących systemów zarządzania jest już bardzo bogaty i na bieżąco uaktualniany, także pod kątem celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Największe szanse na spełnienie wszystkich postulatów zawartych w SDGs mają organizacje z wdrożonym i doskonalonym systemem zarządzania środowiskowego wg normy ISO 14001. Wdrożenie systemów zarządzania w formie zintegrowanej również zwiększa szansę organizacji na spełnienie większości postulatów zawartych w SDGs. Pomocnymi w realizacji SDGs są wytyczne ISO 26000, jednak nie mogą być one podstawą do certyfikacji. Ograniczenia: Pewnym ograniczeniem, utrudniającym zgromadzenie wyników, jest fakt, iż raport ISO Survey jest publikowany z dużym opóźnieniem, a także to, iż nie wszystkie normy z omówionych są jeszcze w pełni dostępne do zakupu na stronie Polskiego Komitetu Normalizacyjnego. Zastosowanie praktyczne: Wskazano, które normy i/lub ich integracja wspierają organizacje we wdrożeniu celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Oryginalność/wartość poznawcza: Wypełniono lukę badawczą, prezentując macierz powiązań celów zrównoważonego rozwoju z systemami zarządzania, celem wykazania potencjału tkwiącego w tych normach i możliwości ich wykorzystania przez organizacje do spełniania założeń tych celów.

Purpose: Identification of current management systems standards and their types, and finding links between the requirements of certain standards and the goals of sustainable development. An additional goal is to show which of the systems support the organization in its pursuit of sustainable development in the fullest way. Design/methodology/approach: The work takes into account three perspectives – literature and cognition-based, practical and empirical (research). The research is divided into five stages and the method of secondary (existing) data analysis, the monographic method, the comparative analysis method, and the method of synthesis and logical concluding were used. Findings/conclusions: The catalog of international management systems standards is already very rich and is updated on an ongoing basis, also in terms of sustainable development goals. Organizations with an implemented and improved environmental management system according to ISO 14001 have the best chance to meet all the postulates contained in these goals. The implementation of management systems in an integrated form also increases the organization’s chance to meet most of the postulates contained in the SDGs. The ISO 26000 guidelines are helpful in the implementation of SDGs, however, they cannot be the basis for certification. Research limitations: A limitation, which makes it difficult to collect the results, is the fact that the ISO Survey report is published with a long delay, and the fact that not all the standards discussed are still fully available for purchase on the website of the Polish Committee for Standardization. Practical implications: It has been indicated which standards, and/or their integration, support organizations in implementing sustainable development goals. Originality/value: The research gap was filled by presenting a matrix of relations between the sustainable development goals and management systems in order to demonstrate the potential inherent in these standards and the possibility of using them by organizations to meet the objectives of these goals.
