Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine how the competencies expected by employers affect the possibility of achieving a wage equal to or above the average wage in the economy. Design/methodology/approach: Achieving the stated goal required a several-step approach. The first step was an analysis of the literature in terms of employers' expectations in the labor market and individual determinants of the salary received. Subsequently, the focus was on obtaining and checking the data (they came from the Human Capital Study -HCS). After this stage, an econometric model was estimated, which, after verifying its correctness, became the basis for analyzing the impact of individual competencies on the proposed salary. Findings: Based on the results of the logit model, it can be concluded that among the competencies that have a positive impact on wages should be distinguished, among others: the ability to operate a computer and specialized computer programs, the ability to assemble and repair machinery and technical equipment, the ability to perform advanced mathematical calculations, cooperation with people of other nationalities, willingness to travel frequently, and willingness to work unusual hours. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of the survey was data gaps. Some employers were unwilling to state the amount they would offer for the indicated position. Practical implications: Employers have the opportunity to compare what aspects of employee competence, businesses pay attention to, and how they value them. Based on this data, the approach of a particular organization can be verified and adjusted to market conditions. Social implications: Based on the analysis, it is possible to see which competencies are particularly valued by employers. By developing them, employees can increase the likelihood of receiving a higher salary. Consequently, this will contribute to improving their living conditions. These results can also influence job seekers, who, by developing the indicated competencies, can adapt to the requirements of the labor market and thus shorten the job search period. Originality/value: The added value of the article is to show the expectations of employers and their direct impact on the chance of obtaining a high salary.

Artykuł dotyczy kompetencji logistycznych w teorii, badaniach i praktyce funkcjonowania łańcuchów dostaw. Publikację podzielono na dwie części. Autorka, prowadząc tok wywodów teoretycznych (Kompetencje logistyczne w teorii, badaniach i praktyce funkcjonowania łańcuchów dostaw – cz. 1), uzupełnionych wynikami badań empirycznych (Kompetencje logistyczne w teorii, badaniach i praktyce funkcjonowania łańcuchów dostaw – cz. 2), bazuje na założeniu, że kompetencje logistyczne stanowią najcenniejszy zasób zarówno poziomu mikro-, jak i metalogistycznego. W części rozważań teoretycznych skoncentrowano uwagę na wyeksponowaniu kompetencji logistycznych jako jednego z istotniejszych rodzajów uwarunkowań funkcjonowania łańcuchów dostaw. Przyjęto spojrzenie na kompetencje z dwóch perspektyw, jako na kompetencje łańcucha dostaw i kompetencje kadry logistycznej. W części empirycznej publikacji dokonano przeglądu badań dotyczących logistycznych kompetencji rozpatrywanych z perspektywy zarządzania łańcuchami dostaw. Natomiast na podstawie autorskich badań zidentyfikowano logistyczne kompetencje kadrowe przydatne w zarządzaniu na płaszczyznach mikro- i metalogistyki.

The article concerns logistics competencies in the theory, research and practice of functioning of supply chains. The publication is divided into two parts. The author, in the course of theoretical arguments (Logistics competencies in the theory, research and practice of functioning of supply chains – part 1) supplemented with the results of empirical research (Logistics competencies in the theory, research and practice of functioning of supply chains – part 2), assumes that that logistics competencies are the most valuable resource at both the micro- and meta-logistics levels. Some of the theoretical considerations focus on highlighting logistics competencies as one of the most important types of conditions for the functioning of supply chains. Competencies are viewed from two perspectives: competencies of supply chains and competencies of logistics staff. The empirical part of the publication reviews research on logistics competencies considered from the perspective of supply chain management. Based on the author's research, logistics HR competences useful in management at the levels of micro- and metalogistics were identified.

Key decisions for the development of companies are taken by statutory bodies. The scope and manner of their operation is affected by statutory regulations and the so-called codes of good practices. The aim of this study is to identify basic regulations relating to statutory bodies and to analyse both the similarities and differences in the legal framework of establishing statutory bodies and their operation in public companies listed on stock exchanges in Poland and selected Baltic States, that is Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. A comparative law analysis is applied in this research. I analyse the normative material, that is, basic acts that regulate legal issues that concern the appointment and operation of statutory bodies. This investigation shows that the model of corporate governance adopted in a given country has a great impact on the operation of various bodies. Regulations on the number of members of statutory bodies, and the duration of the term of office for which a given member of a statutory body is appointed, are an essential aspect that determines the functioning of members of statutory bodies. The countries analysed differ in this context because respective legislators do not always specify the minimum or maximum number of members of statutory bodies or the time of their term of office in the law analysed. These differences in regulations, however, aren't pronounced, which leads to a conclusion that it isn't than legal issues that affect the observed changes in the rotation of statutory bodies in Poland and Baltic states.

Kluczowe decyzje dla rozwoju firm podejmują organy statutowe. Na zakres oraz sposób ich funkcjonowania wpływają przyjęte w danym kraju regulacje ustawowe, zwyczaje oraz tzw. kodeksy dobrych praktyk. Celem badania jest identyfikacja podstawowych regulacji dotyczących organów statutowych oraz analiza zarówno podobieństw, jak i różnic w zakresie prawnych ram ustanawiania i funkcjonowania organów statutowych w spółkach publicznych notowanych na giełdach w Polsce oraz w wybranych krajach nadbałtyckich, tj. Litwie, Łotwie oraz Estonii. W badaniu zastosowano analizę prawno-porównawczą. Analizie poddano materiał normatywny w postaci podstawowych aktów regulujących zagadnienia prawne dotyczące ustanawiania oraz funkcjonowania organów statutowych. Z przeprowadzonego badania wynika, że duży wpływ na sposób funkcjonowania organów ma przyjęty w danym państwie model ładu korporacyjnego. Istotnym aspektem determinującym funkcjonowanie członków organów statutowych są również regulacje ich liczby oraz czasu trwania kadencji, na którą dany członek organu statutowego został powołany. W tym kontekście również występują rozbieżności w analizowanych państwach, gdyż ustawodawca nie zawsze określa minimalną bądź maksymalną liczbę członków organów statutowych czy długość trwania kadencji. Wskazane różnice w uregulowaniach nie są znaczące, co prowadzi do wniosku, że to nie kwestie prawne wpływają na obserwowane zmiany w rotacji organów statutowych w Polsce i krajach nadbałtyckich.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań opinii osób pracujących w różnych przedsiębiorstwach na temat podejścia do zarządzania i jego funkcji, roli managerów oraz motywacji w pracy oraz zestawienie ich z badaniami innych autorów (Jelonek et al., 2022; (Żarczyńska-Dobiesz, Chomątowska, 2014; Ozkan, Solmaz, 2015; Muster, 2020). Dobrana grupa respondentów – przedstawiciele pokolenia Z oraz sformułowany cel badawczy miały pozwolić na znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie badawcze: „Czy pokolenie Z jest gotowe do pracy w organizacji turkusowej”?. Zestawienie takich wyników ma dać wskazówki dla zarządzających organizacjami, w jakim kierunku powinni podejmować swoje działania (np. wprowadzać turkus), aby organizacje mogły się rozwijać dbając przy tym o pracowników mających określone oczekiwania względem pracy. Do zebrania danych wykorzystano metodę ankietową. Głównym wnioskiem, który można sformułować jest konstatacja, że choć pokolenie Z rozwija się w nowoczesnym technologicznie środowisku, z łatwym i szerokim dostępem do wiedzy, to jednak brakuje mu samodzielności i kreatywności, by faktycznie spełnić w pełni warunki funkcjonowania organizacji turkusowej.

The aim of the article is to present the results of surveys of opinions of people working in various enterprises on the approach to management and its functions, the role of managers and motivation at work, and to compare them with studies by other authors (Jelonek et al., 2022), (Żarczyńska-Dobiesz, Chomątowska, 2014), (Ozkan, Solmaz, 2015), (Muster, 2020). A selected group of respondents – representatives of generation Z and the formulated research goal were supposed to answer the research question: Is generation Z ready to work in a teal organization. The compilation of these results is intended to provide guidance to managers of organizations in which direction they should take their actions (e.g. introduce teal) so that organizations can develop while taking care of employees who have specific expectations regarding work. The survey method was used to collect the data. The main conclusion that can be formulated is that generation Z develops in a technologically modern environment, with easy and wide access to knowledge, but lacks the independence and creativity to actually fully meet the conditions for the functioning of a teal organization.

Collaborating with people from different cultures at work went from being an exception to being the new norm. The work environment is becoming increasingly diversified due to global trends including migration, new technologies and the proliferation of remote work. Well-managed diversity can positively affect a company’s financial performance, innovativeness or increased resilience. Concurrently organizations that do not have inclusive practices in place are wasting the potential of a cross-cultural environment. Employers are realizing the value of cultural intelligence (CQ), which allows employees to successfully cooperate in a culturally diversified team. CQ can increase over time, therefore students can develop their CQ already during their years at university. The focus of the study is to determine how the perception of CQ changes over time among management students at the Cracow University of Economics. The results of self-reported CQS suggest that students’ assessment of their CQ has declined over time. The results also indicate that students possess the lowest levels of cognitive CQ out of all CQ facets. The last section covers recommendations for employers, on initiatives that can help current students and their future potential employees have a high CQ.

PL

Praca w zróżnicowanym kulturowo zespole jest już nową normą ze względu na globalne trendy, w tym migracje, rozwój technologii i upowszechnienie się pracy zdalnej. Dobrze zarządzana różnorodność może pozytywnie wpłynąć na wyniki finansowe firmy, innowacyjność czy zwiększoną odporność. Jednocześnie organizacje, które nie stosują praktyk inkluzywnych, marnują potencjał zróżnicowanego środowiska. Pracodawcy zdają sobie sprawę, jak cenna jest inteligencja kulturowa, która pozwala pracownikom skutecznie współpracować w zróżnicowanym kulturowo zespole. Poziom tej inteligencji może z czasem wzrosnąć, dlatego studenci mogą ją rozwijać już w trakcie studiów na uniwersytecie. Celem badania jest określenie, jak zmienia się w czasie postrzeganie inteligencji kulturowej wśród studentów zarządzania na Uniwersytecie Ekonomicznym w Krakowie. Wyniki samooceny sugerują, że percepcja własnej inteligencji z czasem się pogorszyła. Wskazują też, że studenci najniżej oceniają swoją inteligencję w wymiarze kognitywnym. Możliwe wyjaśnienie wyników, sprzecznych z przyjętymi hipotezami, jest zawarte w ostatniej sekcji artykułu. Ostatnia część tekstu zawiera rekomendacje dla pracodawców dotyczące inicjatyw, które mogą sprawić, że przyszłe pracowniczki i pracownicy będą charakteryzowali się wysoką inteligencją kulturową.

Purpose: Change is nowadays becoming an intrinsic part of any organization’s functioning. The concept of a learning organization that can meet the requirements of the VUCA principle is already common in literature. Since organizations are made up of people led by a leader/manager, thus requiring personal ability to deal with emerging problems. The aim of this paper is to present theoretical considerations and research analysis justifying its thesis that the diversity of a leader’s competencies significantly affects the effectiveness of management and ultimately determines their organization’s success. Design/methodology/approach: The aim of this paper was achieved by conducting an argumentative review of the literature available on the subject, which served as the basis for designing the methodological assumptions and further research. Survey methodology was selected as the main research method. The research was conducted among managers/leaders of a group of selected building materials companies. Such targeted research allowed for proper understanding of respondents’ position in relation to the subject matter and made it possible to draw conclusions. Findings: The conducted research leads to the conclusion that the variety and universality of a leader’s competencies affect the effectiveness of managing a team. The research has resulted in a proposal of a competency model of a modern manager able to effectively manage a company. The model considers the leading competencies as the basis for the proposed spectrum of skills. The leading competencies determining a manager’s actions and allow for the emphasis of the multidirectional nature of the desired features include self-organization, self-improvement, openness to new ideas, strict principles, making correct decisions, and taking care of the team’s relations and environment. The above-listed competencies can be used to generate further skills and traits, which can be used to create a complete competency model of an effective manager. Practical implications: The results of the conducted research and the proposed competency model constitute a valuable source of information for those responsible for managing a team in a difficult VUCA environment. The proposed approach to managerial competencies and in particular to their diversity will contribute to managers’ effectiveness and flexibility. Originality/value: The assumed research position pertains to learning organizations operating in dynamic environments. The key role in such an organization is played by a manager able to not only keep up with the changing conditions, but also anticipate them. The authors of this paper propose a model allowing managers/leaders to learn and evolve in response to emerging challenges, thus ensuring their company’s effectiveness.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to present model Teacher Training Schools in Poland on the example of the implemented project ”Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz" and to present recommendations in the field of supporting teachers’ competences participating in the project. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the Teacher Training School model as an innovative system of supporting teachers' competences. Selected aspects of the Teacher Training School functioning established as part of the project co-financed from EU funds are presented. The conclusions from the diagnostic tests (carried out for 7 supported schools, teachers and principals) were indicated in the light of their expectations for forms of support aimed at the development of professional competences. Two diagnostic methods and tools were used in the research process: CAWI survey – online survey research addressed to 66 teachers, based on respondents completing an electronic questionnaire using the Microsoft Forms tool, and CATI survey – computer-assisted telephone interview, conducted by the interviewer with 14 principals and deputy principals of schools, according to a predefined script. Findings: The results of the diagnosis of the schools’ needs, of teaching staff in particular, made it possible to specify teachers’ expectations within four subject areas (mathematics, ICT, natural sciences and language) towards the willingness to learn methods and techniques, as well as tools and technical means supporting the learning processes. At the same time, conditions for maintaining the durability of the introduced changes and strengthening the obtained effects were identified from the point of view of school principals and deputy principals. Research limitations/implications: The assessment of the effectiveness of the impact of the Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz presented in the article will be possible only after the completion of the project as part of the ongoing project evaluation. Practical implications: The results of diagnostic tests, including the expectations of teachers and managers, allow for detailed planning of workshops and cooperation networks in the project ”Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz”. Social implications: The implementation of model Teacher Training Schools in Poland will have a social dimension that will directly affect the development of teachers and indirectly increase the key competences of students. Originality/value: The presented model of the Teacher Training School as well as the conclusions of the conducted research constitute a recommendation for the needs of practical training of teachers from primary schools in Poland.

Purpose: The first aim of the article was to investigate whether high school graduates who want to study management take up gainful employment before starting their studies and how much was their salary. The second goal was to determine the reasons for starting studies and choosing a field of study, and the third was to determine the degree of identification of professional interests of first-year students in the field of Management. Design/methodology/approach: For the research presented in this article, an analysis of the literature in the area of professional competences and career development was used. Research was also carried out using questionnaire forms with open questions. The research covered all first-year students of Management at the University of Szczecin. Findings: Almost all first-year management students worked before starting their studies. They started their studies guided mainly by their interests in the field of management and the desire to run their own business, but they do not have exactly what exactly they would like to do after graduation. Research limitations/implications: In the future, research will be continued on a larger research sample. Practical implications: students have poorly identified interests. Their task is to try to identify these interests, but the support of lecturers is also important. Originality/value: Reasons for starting studies and choosing the field of Management and Identification of students' interests. The research results can be used by academics and students.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify the most significant assumptions and conditions for the development of the Competence-Based Strategic Management concept embedded on the assumptions and elements of the Competency-Based Human Resources Management concept. Moreover, the aim of the article is to identify the place of competences in the hierarchy of the firm success potentials in the concept of Competence-Based Strategic Management. Design/methodology/approach: The article indicates the most important stages on the road from the Competency-Based Human Resources Management concept to the Competence- Based Strategic Management concept. An extensive literature review and an identification approach were used. Findings: The basis for the formation and development of firm competences are personal competences. Consequently, the basis for the formation and development of the Competence- Based Strategic Management concept is the Competency-Based Human Resources Management concept. Moreover, firm competences occupy the most significant places in the hierarchy of the firm success potentials. Practical implications: The outcomes of the research presented in the article confirm the significance of the firm competences – which are embedded on the personal competences – in strategic management and business practice. Originality/value: The article presents the most important steps in the roadmap transition from the Competency-Based Human Resources Management concept (competency-oriented approach) to the Competence-Based Strategic Management concept (competence-oriented approach).

Purpose: The main objective of the research presented in this paper was to identify the managerial competences of project team managers. In order to achieve this objective, the first part of the paper explains the meaning of the term "project management" in the literature on management and quality. The second part of the paper is devoted to an analysis of the conducted research, on the basis of which an attempt is made to answer the question: which managerial competences are key in the role of a project manager? Design/methodology/approach: The research presented in this paper is based on the analysis of the literature on project management and managerial competences. The studies in literature also included secondary sources, which were communications from research of similar scope. The combination of different research methods allowed to obtain a broader context of the studied phenomenon and ensured a higher quality of the conducted research. The diversity of methods was aimed at achieving a consistency of the empirical basis for the inference. A diagnostic survey was adopted as the leading method. The remaining methods applied in the paper were auxiliary (complementary). Findings: An inseparable element of human life is change, which also accompanies enterprises on a daily basis. The information about changes in the market and competitors, provided every day, is a natural manifestation of economic life. Consequently, everyone has to improve their operations in the area of products, technology and organisation in order to remain on the market. As a result, every person, as well as every economic activity take actions aimed at achieving the intended goals, facing new needs and challenges. The way to achieve the desired results is a process known as a project. The efficient functioning of a project team requires the use of appropriate management support methods and tools, systematic measurement, constant comparison with competitors, removal of barriers and the exploitation of development opportunities. Research limitations/implications: In the future, research will be continued on a larger research sample. Practical implications: The paper presents the results of research carried out at a nationwide telecommunications operator that employs several thousand people. This company is part of a large capital group and, due to the group's communication policy, has reserved anonymity. The findings are very interesting and encourage research on a larger scale. They are a valuable source of information for managers responsible for the formation of project teams, the selection of its members, their functioning and project implementation. On the other hand, for persons. responsible for recruiting employees, the results may be useful in terms of developing a project team manager's profile, in particular when identifying the key managerial competences. Originality/value Based on empirical research, the paper proposes an original set of systemic solutions for project management to improve organisational performance.

W referacie zwrócono uwagę na potrzebę utrzymania zdolności użytkowej konstrukcji przez wymagany okres trwałości. Zapewnienie to może być dotrzymane tylko wtedy, gdy w realizację konstrukcji zaangażowany jest kompetentny personel. Wskazano na właściwe stosowanie norm przywołanych w wymaganiach kontraktu oraz na właściwą interpretację konieczności stosowania wymagań zawartych w normach. Odniesiono się do wybranych aspektów związanych kwalifikacjami i kompetencjami personelu w pracach antykorozyjnych i izolerskich. Zwrócono uwagę na pojęcia związane z kwalifikacjami i kompetencjami. Dokonano analizy zapisów norm w odniesieniu do wymagań dla personelu. Stwierdzono, że w wielu przypadkach wymagania te opisane są w normach w sposób bardzo ogólny. Dlatego też właściwym jest określanie w warunkach kontraktu pełnych i zrozumiałych dla wszystkich zainteresowanych stron kontraktu, wymagań odnośnie kwalifikacji i kompetencji personelu. Brak takich uzgodnień może prowadzić do nieporozumień pomiędzy stronami kontraktu. Przedstawiono przykłady szkoleń pozwalających podnieść poziom kompetencji personelu, a także propozycje niezależnych certyfikacji firm z zakresu antykorozji. Pokazano jako przykład, stosowane w Norwegii uregulowania dotyczące wymagań dla personelu antykorozji i izolacji. Zwrócono uwagę na możliwość uzyskania na rynku polskim międzynarodowych certyfikatów personelu i firm FRSIO.

The paper highlights the need to ensure the serviceability of the structure for the required life. This assurance can only be met if competent personnel is involved in the execution. The correct application of the standards referred in the contract requirements and the correct interpretation of the need to apply the requirements of the standards were pointed out. Selected aspects related to the qualification and competence of personnel in anticorrosive and insulating works were referred to. Attention was drawn to concepts related to qualifications and competence. An analysis was made of the provisions of the standards in relation to the requirements for personnel. It was found that in many cases these requirements are described in the standards in a very general way. It is therefore appropriate to specify in the contract terms and conditions, complete and comprehensible to all contract stakeholders, the requirements for personnel qualifications and competences. Failure to do so can lead to misunderstandings between the contracting parties. Examples of training to improve the competence level of personnel are presented, as well as proposals for independent certification of companies in the field of anti-corrosion. As an example, the regulations applied in Norway regarding the requirements for anti-corrosion and insulation personnel were shown. Attention was drawn to the possibility of obtaining international certificates for personnel and FROSIO companies on the Polish market.
