Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to illustrate to what extent, during the Covid-19 pandemic, leaders representing enterprises operating in Poland, use IT in motivating employees. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is based on a literature review, secondary materials in the form of research reports, describing the level of digital competence of Poles, employees and leaders, as well as own research. The results of pre-pandemic research indicate a low level of digital competence of a leader. With reference to this research, the paper presents part of the results of the author's study on digital leadership. Its implementation took place in 2021. 163 companies, located in Poland, participated in it. The study used a diagnostic survey method, the CAWI technique and the author's survey questionnaire. Findings: The results of the survey indicate that there is a fairly good level of digital competence among leaders, at least in terms of motivation. No correlation is noted between the use of IT in motivating employees with the scope of the company, the form of ownership of the company, the owner's capital, the size of the company and the respondent (manager, IT manager, owner, board member). Only in the case of the degree of computerization of the company does such a correlation appear. Research limitations/implications: When interpreting the results presented in the paper, it is worth bearing in mind some limitations accompanying the study. The first concerns the difficulty of identifying whether the surveyed managers can be called leaders. The second limitation is related to the use of self-assessment in assessing the digital competence of managers. In this regard, it would be worthwhile to conduct a survey of employees to verify the level of digital competence declared by managers. Originality/value: The paper deals with the use of IT in motivating employees, an under 27 identified but important problem, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of the study can be a guide to what factors to pay attention to when improving the digital competence of the leader and employees.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to assess the level of digital competence of young Poles against the background of selected European countries in the context of changes occurring in the labor market. Design/methodology/approach: The level of digital competence of young people from 30 selected European countries was diagnosed on the basis of the development pattern method by Z. Hellwig. To develop a synthetic Z. Hellwig measure, 23 diagnostic characteristics that reflect the level of skills of young Europeans in creating digital content, using databases, communicating and collaborating online, using ICT in different types of online activities, and protecting privacy and personal data online were selected. The study covered a group of young people aged 16-24, representing a potential labor supply that is particularly relevant to the development of the digital economy. Findings: In the light of the characteristics adopted for the study, the level of digital competence of young Poles is low. Young Finns, Maltese, Dutch, Spanish and Icelanders have the highest levels of digital competence. In contrast, particularly low levels of these competences are seen among young Bulgarians and Romanians. Research limitations/implications: The presented research can contribute to further in-depth analysis of the impact of the digital competency deficit on the economic development of the countries included in the analysis in the long term, including Poland in particular. Practical implications: The results of the research can provide guidance to public authorities in creating and evaluating strategies for the development of digital competences in Poland and the other countries covered by the study. Originality/value: The article indicates the changes that the labor market is undergoing as a consequence of the digital transformation of the economy. A synthetic indicator of digital competence was constructed, taking into account the diagnostic characteristics selected by the author of the article, which in their opinion are particularly relevant to the development of the digital economy. Leaders in the level of digital competence of young people have been identified. The distance between them and Poland was also diagnosed. The findings are addressed to the public authorities of the European countries surveyed. They can provide guidelines for the creation and evaluation of strategies for the development of digital competences in Poland and the other countries covered by the study.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to elaborate the structure of the concept of functional digital competences for young adults in the area of work and professional development, and to develop a tool for measuring it. Design/methodology/approach: Based on theoretical assumptions (Klimczuk et al., 2015; Nikodemska, 2016; Tarkowski et al., 2015) as well as empirical verification, the author elaborated a five-factor model of digital competences and a special questionnaire for measuring this concept was prepared. Author used such statistic methods as the EFA, the CFA, the Mann 12 Whitney U test, the Student’s t-test for independent samples, the Spearman’s rho correlation. Findings: The elaborated tool and model was validated and, in the majority, the socio 14 demographic factors (such: age, gender, education level, employability) affecting functional digital competencies were also statistically significant. Research limitations: the study include a relatively small research sample as well as its geographic scope was narrow – the research was conducted at a university of economics in Poland among a group where the school-to-work transition occurs smoothly, and the periods of education and work often overlap. The findings could also be affected by the situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting major shift of the entire society to online activity. Practical implication: The results show the areas of competency deficiencies in Polish Z generation and could help, by special developing programmes, make them more competitive on the European young people's labour market. Social implication: The development of a society’s digital competences is crucial because in an information society they are the ticket to a successful career and a comfortable, high-quality life. Originality/value: The paper presents the new model and a dedicated measuring tool to assess digital competences of generation Z in the area of work and professional development.

Nowe technologie są współcześnie wykorzystywane w wielu obszarach życia, także przez osoby z różnego rodzaju niepełnosprawnościami czy ograniczeniami. W przypadku osób z niepełno sprawnością narządu wzroku pełnią bardzo ważną funkcję, ponieważ dają poczucie niezależności, ułatwiają komunikowanie się, pracę i naukę. W celu określenia wykorzystania nowych technologii oraz samooceny kompetencji cyfrowych wśród osób z niepełnosprawnością narządu wzroku przeprowadzono wywiady bezpośrednie. Osoby te uważają, że kompetencje cyfrowe we współczesnym świecie są niezwykle przydatne, a przede wszystkim umożliwiają prowadzenie samodzielnego życia. Wyniki analizy przeprowadzonych rozmów wskazują na dość wysoką samoocenę e-kompetencji w tej grupie, jednak mimo szans, jakie stwarzają nowe technologie, narzędzia te nie zawsze są używane w codziennym życiu osób z niepełnosprawnością wzroku.

Stan zagrożenia epidemicznego COVID-19 spowodował ograniczenia bieżącej działalności uczelni i sprawił, że zmianie uległo prawo i jego stosowanie. Praca uczelni w czasie pandemii nie została zawieszona, stopniowo były znoszone kolejne ograniczenia i przywracano bieżącą działalność. Uczelnie zmuszone zostały do szybkiego wypracowania nowych rozwiązań, które umożliwiały prowadzenie kształcenia i bieżącą pracę uczelni w zdalnej formie przy zachowaniu wymagań wynikających z rozporządzeń MNiSW i wymagań sanitarnych. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie wprowadzonych w roku akademickim 2019-2020 rozwiązań ustawowych i wykonawczych oraz ocena ich realizacji i skuteczności w kontekście transformacji cyfrowej. W tekście, weryfikowana jest teza, że przepisy prawne umożliwiają realizację statutowych celów uczelni, a ich ewolucja i stosowanie są adekwatne do sytuacji i zagrożeń. W artykule wykazano ponadto, że funkcjonowanie uczelni wymagało jednocześnie gruntownej zmiany w organizacji pracy, w zakresie: procesu kształcenia, weryfikacji efektów kształcenia i prowadzenia dokumentacji przebiegu studiów w postaci elektronicznej. Uczelnie musiały dokonać transformacji cyfrowej. Rozwiązania elektroniczne wymagały zabezpieczenia odpowiedniego sprzętu komputerowego oraz infrastruktury telekomunikacyjnej. Wymagało to zarówno od studentów jak i pracowników uczelni nabycia nowych kompetencji cyfrowych. Czas ten z całą pewnością nie jest stracony a część rozwiązań wprowadzonych w czasie pandemii będzie prawdopodobnie wykorzystywana również po jej ustaniu. Zmiany jakie zaistniały w czasie pandemii ukazały zapotrzebowanie na nowe kompetencje. Szansą i zadaniem dla uczelni jest bowiem rozwijanie dalszych kompetencji cyfrowych pracowników uczelni i studentów.

The COVID-19 epidemic threats caused significant restrictions on current activities of the Universities and other academical institutions. The consequences of these resulted in changes of legal provisions and their application. The functioning of Universities during the pandemic was not suspended; successive restrictions were gradually lifted, until the current activity was restored. Universities were forced to develop new solutions that made conducting education possible as well as ongoing work of institution in a remote form. The above-mentioned activities were in compliance with regulations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as well as sanitary requirements. The aim of this article is to present the statutory and regulatory solutions and to assess their implementation and effectiveness in the context of digital transformation. The Author verifies the thesis, that “COVID-19 legal regulations” enable the achievement of statutory goals of Universities, and furthermore, that their evolution and application is adequate to the situation and hazards caused by pandemic situation. The article also showed that the functioning of the Universities required a thorough change in the organization of their work in the fields of, the education process, verification of learning outcomes and keeping the studies documentation in the electronic form. Universities were forced to go through a digital transformation. Electronic solutions required appropriate protection of computers and telecommunications infrastructure. It required both students and university staff to acquire new digital competences. This period was certainly not wasted and some of the solutions introduced during the pandemic will probably be also used after it has ceased. The changes that took place during the pandemic showed the need for new competences. The opportunity and task for universities is to develop further digital competences of university employees and students.
