Study objective: The aim of the study is to assess financial expectations of the students of the Faculty of Management of the Jan and Jędrzej Śniadecki Bydgoszcz University of Technology after graduation and to determine whether the field of study has an impact on salary expectations. The hypothesis was formulated that students of finance and accounting have higher salary expectations than students of other fields. Additionally, it was assumed that 2/3 of the students of this faculty work while studying. The field and level of studies were taken into account. Methods: The study was conducted at the Jan and Jędrzej Śniadecki Bydgoszcz University of Technology. It involved 252 students of the Faculty of Management studying in the following fields: management (hereinafter ZA), management and production engineering (hereinafter ZIP) and finance and accounting (hereinafter FIR). The study was based on the primary data, obtained using a measurement instrument prepared for the needs of the study in the form of an online questionnaire (CAWI), as well as data on the number and structure of students of the Faculty of Management obtained from the University IT Department. Conclusions: The study results show that over 70% of the students take up work while studying. This indicates changes in the labour market, where the market demand for young people with both education and experience is clearly visible. The largest group of respondents, both employed and not working, are students of finance and accounting (first and second-cycle studies). The students of management and production engineering have the highest salary expectations after graduation, while students of finance and accounting have the lowest expectations. Students of management, however, fall between these groups. The salary expectations of finance and accounting students differ from the average salary expectations by PLN 1,334.69, by PLN 1,251.55 (for management students) and by PLN 1,194.76 (for management and production engineering students). Therefore, the largest deviation occurs for finance and accounting students who on average expect lower earnings than students of other fields. For all fields of study, the variation between salary expectations is low, which indicates homogeneity of the population. Interestingly, students of management in the highest percentage do not work in their profession (over 60%). The smallest disproportion between students who work and do not work in their profession exists in the case of finance and accounting students. The largest group working in their profession are students of management and production engineering, followed by students of finance and accounting. Most students, regardless of their cycle, combine work with studying. Among second-cycle students, the largest number of people - over half of the students of management and production engineering, and slightly less than half in the field of finance and accounting work in their profession. Among first-cycle students, the vast majority of respondents, regardless of the field of study, do not take up professional work. There is a relationship between salary expectations and the field of study, and it is statistically significant. This hypothesis was positively verified. Originality: The paper shows on the example of the students of the Faculty of Management of the Jan and Jędrzej Śniadecki Bydgoszcz University of Technology that the vast majority of management and finance students work while studying. The study highlights an extremely important aspect of current studying - combining studies with work, which has been noticed by researchers in Australia (Devlin, James, Grigg, 2008; Creed, French, Hood, 2015), New Zealand (Manthei, Gilmore, 2005) and the USA (Butler, 2007). The article is addressed to universities, in particular those offering courses, such as finance and accounting, management, management and production engineering.

Purpose: The aim of the article was identification and analysis of factors influencing students' career planning and development in Poland and Italy. Design/methodology/approach: The first stage of the research involved an analysis of the source literature and a review of the activities undertaken by universities in order to support students in career planning. This was followed by an analysis of reports on the situation of young people on the labour market in Poland and Italy. The final research method was a diagnostic survey with the use of a questionnaire, which was addressed to students of selected universities in both countries. Findings: Polish and Italian students are aware of their needs regarding their future careers, they are able to formulate career goals and to select a strategy needed to achieve them. However, there are noticeable differences in the implementation of their career plans. These discrepancies may be due to the socio-economic situation of students’ countries of origin. Practical implications: The article is a source of information for both students embarking on their professional careers and employers who will be able to meet the expectations of young employees, as well as universities seeking to create competitive activities in order to support professional development of their students and graduates. Originality/value: The article presents an interesting, comprehensive and comparative study of students in two EU countries, taking into account not only labour market data, but also direct opinions of students and an analysis of the career support activities offered by universities.

The article proposes a definition of the term „infrastructure supporting the process of internationalization of higher education” and examines its role in the development of higher education in the context of globalization and strengthening of international relations, focusing on the experience of Poland. The authors of the article highlight the importance and functions of the infrastructure supporting the process of internationalization of higher education at different levels - academic, institutional, and systemic. Support infrastructure is considered as a system of organizational, structural, human, financial and informational resources created and maintained by higher education institutions, government bodies, international organizations, and other stakeholders to promote the internationalization of higher education. Special attention is paid to the analysis of three infrastructure subsystems supporting the internationalization of higher education: international, state, and private. The example of Poland is given as an example of a successful country that is actively developing the internationalization of its higher education institutions, becoming attractive to foreign students, and the infrastructure supporting the internationalization of higher education plays a key role in creating favourable conditions for international cooperation and knowledge exchange.

Autorzy artykułu podkreślają znaczenie i funkcje infrastruktury wspierającej proces internacjonalizacji szkolnictwa wyższego na różnych poziomach – akademickim, instytucjonalnym i systemowym. Infrastruktura wspierająca jest rozumiana jako system zasobów organizacyjnych, strukturalnych, ludzkich, finansowych i informacyjnych, tworzony i utrzymywany przez instytucje szkolnictwa wyższego, organy rządowe, organizacje międzynarodowe i innych interesariuszy w celu promowania umiędzynarodowienia szkolnictwa wyższego. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono analizie trzech podsystemów infrastruktury wspierających internacjonalizację szkolnictwa wyższego: międzynarodowego, państwowego i prywatnego. Podano przykład Polski jako kraju odnoszącego sukcesy, który aktywnie rozwija internacjonalizację swoich uczelni, stając się atrakcyjnym dla zagranicznych studentów, a infrastruktura wspierająca internacjonalizację szkolnictwa wyższego odgrywa kluczową rolę w tworzeniu sprzyjających warunków do międzynarodowej współpracy i wymiany wiedzy.

This study explores the deployment and effectiveness of asynchronous learning technologies in universities forced to relocate due to conflict, using the case of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University (BSPU) in Ukraine. Amidst significant disruptions, BSPU transitioned to an asynchronous “university without walls” model, integrating a variety of online and offline asynchronous tools. The study evaluates this transition over a period of four months through mixed methods, including a survey, interviews, and analysis of internal reports. Results indicate a successful adaptation, with faculty and students expressing increased satisfaction over time and academic performance returning to pre-relocation levels. Notably, the completion rate exceeded pre-relocation levels, suggesting increased accessibility due to asynchronous learning. However, challenges related to self-regulation and initial technological adaptation were reported. The study underscores the potential of asynchronous learning in maintaining educational continuity in times of crisis, though further research is required to generalize these findings.

Niniejsze badanie analizuje wdrażanie i skuteczność asynchronicznych technologii uczenia się na uniwersytetach, zmuszonych do przeniesienia się z powodu konfliktu, na przykładzie Berdiańskiego Państwowego Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego (BSPU) w Ukrainie. Wśród znaczących zakłóceń, BSPU przeszło na asynchroniczny model „uniwersytetu bez ścian”, integrując różnorodne asynchroniczne narzędzia online i offline. Badanie ocenia to przejście w okresie czterech miesięcy, za pomocą metod mieszanych, w tym ankiet, wywiadów i analiz raportów wewnętrznych. Wyniki wskazują na udaną adaptację wykładowców i studentów, którzy wyrażają z czasem większe zadowolenie, a wyniki w nauce powracają do poziomu sprzed relokacji. Warto zauważyć, że wskaźnik ukończenia przekraczał poziomy sprzed relokacji, co sugeruje zwiększoną dostępność dzięki asynchronicznemu uczeniu się. Zgłoszono jednak wyzwania związane z samoregulacją i wstępną adaptacją technologiczną. Badanie podkreśla potencjał asynchronicznego uczenia się w utrzymaniu ciągłości edukacji w czasach kryzysu, chociaż potrzebne są dalsze badania, aby te ustalenia uogólnić.

The article characterizes the current state of development of cybersecurity education in higher education institutions in Poland. The purpose of the study is to characterize the models of cyber security education, to verify the development trends and to attempt to estimate further directions in higher education for cyber security professionals. The compiled material, obtained from publicly available databases and curricula, allowed us to formulate conclusions related to the education process itself, as well as to the confirmation of skills. A quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of the data was carried out, focused on the content of study programs. The profile of a cybersecurity graduate varies by the leading institution, as well as by the discipline under which the education is provided. Recent years show a significant increase in new majors with a social-humanities profile, which, in addition to technological issues, pay attention to the broad context of human functioning in cyberspace. An important addition to cybersecurity education, apart from formal confirmation of skills during higher education, is the certification process. This is an example of informal education, but as global experience shows, it is equally important, both from the perspective of improving specialized skills and as a formal requirement in the recruitment and employment search process.

W artykule scharakteryzowano aktualny stan rozwoju kształcenia w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa na uczelniach wyższych w Polsce. Celem opracowania jest charakterystyka modeli kształcenia w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa, weryfikacja trendów rozwojowych oraz próba oszacowania dalszych kierunków rozwoju szkolnictwa wyższego w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Zebrany materiał, pozyskany z ogólnodostępnych baz danych i programów nauczania, pozwolił na sformułowanie wniosków związanych z samym procesem kształcenia, jak i potwierdzeniem umiejętności w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Przeprowadzono ilościową i jakościową analizę danych, koncentrując się na treści programów studiów. Profil absolwenta cyberbezpieczeństwa różni się w zależności od wiodącej instytucji, a także dyscypliny, w ramach której prowadzone jest kształcenie. Ostatnie lata pokazują znaczący wzrost liczby nowych kierunków o profilu społeczno-humanistycznym, które oprócz kwestii technologicznych zwracają uwagę na szeroki kontekst funkcjonowania człowieka w cyberprzestrzeni. Ważnym uzupełnieniem edukacji w zakresie cyberbezpieczeństwa, poza formalnym potwierdzeniem umiejętności w trakcie studiów wyższych, jest proces certyfikacji. Jest to przykład edukacji nieformalnej, ale jak pokazuje globalne doświadczenie, jest ona równie ważna, zarówno z perspektywy doskonalenia specjalistycznych umiejętności, jak i formalnego wymogu w procesie rekrutacji i poszukiwania zatrudnienia.

In the world market, success is achieved by the countries that have better human capital and allocate sufficient resources for its reproduction. One of the results of the growing enrollment of many universities has been the need for additional qualified teaching staff and advanced training, which has led to the need to retrain existing teachers for staffing the growing number of higher education institutions. The first of the major success factors in this endeavor is to ensure that teachers are motivated to earn a relatively adequate salary. In recent years, a number of RA universities have successfully applied the method of salary calculation, which is based on the principle that a teacher (professor, associate professor, assistant, etc.) receives a salary depending on his category and workload (number of hours per academic year). Another important component of the assessment is the real involvement of the teacher in scientific activities and, based on this, a method for calculating the salary of a teacher is proposed, taking into account, among other things, his scientific activity. In order to encourage the scientific activity of the teacher, an indicator of the effectiveness of his scientific activity is introduced, the measure of which is scientific work during the previous (three to five) years.

The high turnover rate in higher education and the significance of retaining staff has prompted researchers to investigate factors that could impact employee retention, such as job embeddedness and work engagement. This study sought to investigate the interrelationships between job embeddedness, work engagement, and turnover intention among staff members at a higher education institution in South Kalimantan, Indonesia for deriving insights into how management practices can be tailored to foster employee retention and engagement. Using a non-probability purposive sampling method, a cross-sectional quantitative survey with 300 lecturers was conducted. Significant relationships were found between job embeddedness, work engagement, and turnover intention through correlational and multiple regression analyses. The presence of organisational links and dedication were found to have a significant and negative impact on turnover intention. The findings presented here offer valuable new insights that can be applied to improve staff retention in the higher education sector. When designing retention strategies, management and human resource practitioners in higher education must acknowledge the impact of job embeddedness and work engagement on staff turnover intention.

In recent decades, the concept of strategic management at universities has attracted more and more attention. There is a significant increase in the awareness of the importance of well-developed development concepts, both among university employees and management staff. Numerous research studies also discuss the need for changes in that presented area. Unfortunately, the analysis of the literature on the subject shows that more attention is paid to the strategy development phase than to its implementation. There are also few studies examining the influence of factors on the strategy implementation at universities. The area of research was related to factors influencing the process of strategy implementation. This article presents the detailed results of the survey of analysis, which covered the opinions of management and employees influencing the strategy implementation at universities in Poland. The main objective of the study was to measure the operational risk of factors influencing the process of strategy at universities and to specify the factors with the highest operational risk level. The study was conducted using the PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview) technique, based on the research questionnaire. The method of collecting data in an open (explicit) and standardized manner was used there. For this purpose, a standardized research questionnaire was used.

Transformation of modern societies is allowing people to live fast, smart, technology-driven lives. In workplace, it brings flexibility and news business forms. Organizations are dynamic structures, so their pursuit of adaptation and problem solving is constant. At the same time, prolonged job-related availability may eventually result in resentment, reduced satisfaction in performance and exhaustion. Industrial-organizational psychology methods focus on solving such problems and improving quality of life in the workplace. Quality of life is a multidimensional concept [1] that comprises both positive and negative evaluations of life aspects. When applied to a workplace, quality of life can be perceived as work environment that promotes health and security, job satisfaction [2] and professional and personal development. On the other hand, work environment generating excessive stress and leading to long-term emotional, mental and physical exhaustion leads to burnout. Burnout ‘reflects an uneasy relationship between people and their work’ [3a, p. 44] and it is definitely an ultimately real and chronic problem nowadays. While burnout is a serious issue for both organizations and individuals [4], and has been widely studied [3b], it has not been focus of much academic attention in the university context yet. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to examine academic burnout among higher education students in Poland. For the purpose of the study, the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire – Students Survey was applied on-line for students registered at Polish universities. The survey consists of 12 items in form of statements related to three dimensions of burnout: overload, neglect and lack of development. The paper is also aimed to understand whether university students experienced burnout in any of its dimensions and whether the perception of burnout depended on student professional activity, distance from family home or failed courses.

Artykuł analizuje problematykę podwójnych dyplomów w kontekście podnoszenia jakości kształcenia, na przykładzie polskich uczelni. Dokonano analizy rynku edukacyjnego szkół wyższych w Polsce. Realizacja międzynarodowych programów podwójnego dyplomu wpływa na kształtowanie innowacyjnego środowiska edukacyjnego uczelni oraz przyczynia się do rozwoju zestawu kompetencji kluczowych studentów i kształtowania kapitału ludzkiego. Opisano zalety i wady uczestnictwa w programach podwójnego dyplomu dla studentów, wykładowców i ogólnie szkolnictwa wyższego. Ujawniono wpływ programu podwójnego dyplomowania na jakość kształcenia wysoko wykwalifikowanych specjalistów. Rozwój i realizacja programów kształcenia dwustopniowego, w praktyce odpowiada ogólnym interesom strategicznym rozwoju polskich uczelni we współczesnej przestrzeni edukacyjnej. Z punktu widzenia podnoszenia jakości kształcenia i badań naukowych, a także podnoszenia konkurencyjności uczelni, należy przestrzegać głównych zasad i postanowień Procesu Bolońskiego. Opracowany został algorytm realizacji programów podwójnego dyplomowania, który przyczyni się do umiędzynarodowienia szkolnictwa wyższego i jego integracji ze światową przestrzenią edukacyjną

Purpose: The main purpose of this article is to diagnose the level of cultural intelligence of academic teachers of public economic universities in Poland and identify factors related to this kind of intelligence. Design/methodology/approach: The tests carried out were quantitative. The following methods were used: analysis of the subject literature, surveys, and analysis of organizational documentation. Findings: The study showed that the level of cultural intelligence of teachers of economic universities in Poland is relatively high and slightly different between the surveyed universities. There was no correlation between the cultural intelligence level and such variables as gender and a scientific degree. On the other hand, the number of languages known at the communicative level and the number of countries in which the employee has stayed under international cooperation programs are positively correlated with the level of cultural intelligence. Research limitations/implications: The original plan was to carry out the survey at all five public universities of economics in Poland. Eventually, due to a small number of completed questionnaires, teachers from three public universities of economics were included in the study. Practical implications: This study may contribute to revealing the factors influencing the cultural intelligence level of academics and, consequently, the intercultural work environment and the wider internationalisation process of universities. Originality/value: This is pioneering research on the level of cultural intelligence of employees at Polish economic universities. Some of the findings are novel, such as the diagnosed correlation between a lecturer's academic degree and the level of cultural intelligence. The authors believe that their study may inspire researchers from other countries to conduct more in-depth research in the area of cultural intelligence of lecturers.

Purpose: This article addresses selected aspects of internationalization of higher education (HE) in Poland in the context of demographic changes. The purpose of it is to analyze the dynamics of the number of foreign students studying at Polish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their structure by type of HEI, field of study and origin. Design/methodology/approach: A review of the literature on the subject and desk research with reference to data from the Statistics Poland were used. The analysis, covered the years 2004-2020, was based on selected methods of descriptive statistics. Findings: Between 2004 and 2020, the number of foreign students increased almost 10-fold. The average growth rate in the analyzed time series was 15.2% for the group of HEIs and 21.5% for non-public HEIs. The choices of foreign students most often group fields of study in the areas of social sciences, economy and medicine. There has been an increase in interest in studies in technology and services, while there has been a marked decline in fields of study related to the humanities and education. Research limitations/implications: The demographic perspective adds a new dimension to the issues of growth and development of HEIs, that is why this issue involves further in-depth analysis. Practical implications: Despite the apparent positive change with regard to the number of student-foreigners studying at Polish HEIs, this statistic, compared to other European countries, is still unsatisfactory. In the face of projected further unfavorable demographic trends, countries with positive natural increase and younger age structures, become an opportunity to compensate for the loss of Polish students. Efforts by the entire HE sector are needed to seize these opportunities. It is necessary to further correlate sectoral policies - HE with population, foreign and social policies. HEIs should improve processes related to caring for the broader relationship with foreign students. Originality/value: The paper is addressed to all interested in HE policy. The study should be seen as a contribution to the existing discussion in the issue of growth and development of HEIs.

Purpose: Our research attempts to understand a change in social sciences’ academics' teaching practices that can be observed during the COVID pandemic and that are predicted after the pandemic. Design: We investigate – in the light of the Blin’s and Munro’s activity theory (2008) – whether the COVID pandemic is a disruptive factor that may lead to the transformation of social sciences academics’ teaching practices. The research instrument was a worldwide survey conducted among social sciences’ academics. Findings: COVID pandemic has already introduced changes into academics’ teaching practices in a form of broad ICT usage as well as initiated changes in the teaching activities design. Research limitations: The number of responses is limited to 382 with only a collection of 77 responses from outside of Europe. We applied a general approach for ICT means not asking respondents about particular ICT tools. COVID as a pandemic evolves continuously indicating the need for further, in-depth research in this field. Practical implications: COVID pandemic might serve as a disruptive factor enforcing further changes in social sciences’ academic teaching practices after the pandemic. Social implications: Our results indicate that the quality of social sciences teaching has worsened during the pandemic and most of the respondents do not predict significant changes in the quality of teaching after the pandemic compared to the quality of teaching before the pandemic. Originality: We contribute by showing that introduction of a new tool (ICT) and modified teaching activity design resulted in a serious alteration of the teaching practice of social sciences’ academics. We did not confirm that COVID disruption was expansive enough to permanently transform teaching practices of social sciences academics, hence we suggest that obstacles to successful incorporation of ICT in teaching practices are still present. We showed that ICT is predicted to be used more frequently rather than before (when it was only utilised as a platform to transfer traditional material) and will not modify the well-established practices referring to instructional tools. Our study suggests that the relation between teacher and teaching activity design is not mediated by ICT tools, which may result in resistance from the teachers.
