Purpose: The purpose of the article is to diagnose the motives of remote work among working students in the context of creating a 5.0 society. The study focuses on analyzing the motives that lead young employees to choose remote work, and on determining the frequency of use of this form of employment. Design/methodology/approach: The reseach was a pilot study and included professionally active and working students of the Faculty of Management at the University of Technology in Bydgoszcz. The research method was an electronic survey. Among the data analysis methods used were structure analysis and cluster analysis. Findings: The results of the research indicate that young employees mostly prefer stationary work, especially if the tasks assigned to them require social interaction. In assessing the importance of motives for working remotely, respondents disagreed. However, the motives of greatest importance in their opinion turned out to be time saving, easier reconciliation of work and family life and flexible working hours. Research limitations/implications: The study was limited to a small group of WZ PBŚ students, so future research may include a wider group of employees from different organizations. Practical implications: The article provides information on the employee's perspective on the motives for using remote work and its frequency. Social implications: The article addresses issues of work-life balance implications, employee well-being, changing the way we interact socially and sustainability. Originality/value: The study provides empirical evidence on how young workers perceive aspects of remote work, what motivates them to work remotely and with what frequency they use it in a post-pandemic environment.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to evaluate an innovative product - the implementation of a platform that integrates and at the same time increases the digital maturity of enterprises. Relationships with system integrators are important for maintaining and increasing manufacturers' competitive advantage. Methodology. The research method includes a review of previous analyzes and assessments of digitization according to various studies, and a case study analysis - implementation of the DBR77 integration platform. Such a case study will allow for the introduction of digital solutions, which in turn will affect the level of digital maturity of both the supplier and the recipient.The example of a case study brings a lot to solving the problems of practice of companies interested in digitization, as well as an example for students. The following research questions can be posed here: RQ1. What is the role of digitalization in modern enterprises in the light of current research results in Poland? RQ2. What are the methods used to evaluate digitalization and innovation for industry? RQ3. Does implementing an integration platform help achieve better digital maturity? Findings: The Digi and Desi digital maturity methods presented in the article can be used to assess the level of digitization of an enterprise, and the case study can be a model for companies to use the robotics platform. Research limitations/implications: The research was limited by access to data due to its nature - it was sensitive data. Specific benefits could not be quantified because the company did not agree to this due to the sensitivity of the data. In addition, limitations arising from the requirements of the volume of the work do not allow for a broader analysis of platform systems. Practical implications: The study conducted can be useful fora good example for students and a model that researchers can set for didactic purposes to deepen their knowledge, as well as for enterprises interested in the digitization of modern organizations. Social implications: The integration platform is an excellent example of implementing innovative models and technologies for industrial companies as well as a model for operating in the cloud. It is an example both for enterprises operating in the cloud and for industrial startups - integrator companies. Originality/value: This case study is also a good example for students and a model that researchers can set for didactic purposes to deepen their knowledge, as well as for enterprises interested in the digitization of modern organizations. It may also be the beginning of further research in this area. So it is a contribution to the development of science. It may be worthwhile to include in further research a set of case studies covering all the major solutions that are being implemented in the factory of the future.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to make a detailed characterization of the cybernetic system of man-machine-environment in the context of maintaining occupational health and safety. Design/methodology/approach: Data for the study was collected using participant observation. Subsequently, any information obtained is presented in this paper as a case study. Findings: The results of the study indicate that occupational health and safety management in the era of building society 5.0 is highly dependent on the proper cooperation of man and machine in a turbulent work environment. Research limitations/implications: The survey is limited to employees of one manufacturing company. Therefore, it would be extremely valuable to observe whether work safety in other companies also depends primarily on the proper preparation of workers to work with machinery. Practical implications: The study provides guidance for human resource management to implement effective practices to enhance employee safety in the era of building society 5.0. Social implications: This study offers support to the employees of a manufacturing company, providing insight into how the work environment can be improved, thereby increasing health and safety. Originality/value: This is a study that aims to provide insight into how, in the era of building a 5.0 society, it is important to take care to prepare the employee to be a designer of a safe work environment in which people and machines work together to achieve the best work result.

Purpose: The aim of the article was to determine how intelligent solutions in the field of smart home are perceived by the consumers and to identify smart home systems considered to be the most valuable consumer solutions, for the user convenience and safety. Design/methodology/approach: In order to achieve the aim of the article, a study was conducted on a sample of 741 respondents. The CAWI technique was used in this research and the measurement tool was electronic questionnaire. Findings: In the light of the obtained results, very positive attitudes of consumers towards smart home solutions were revealed. The highest rated systems were multifunctional sensors, monitoring systems and heating or air conditioning control systems. The vast majority of the respondents confirmed their knowledge of smart home solutions, but not more than one in three respondents admitted to owning such systems. The perception of smart home solutions correlates negatively with the age of consumers and positively with the financial situation and place of residence, while the possession level correlates positively with the consumers’ financial situation. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study is the non-random sample, which makes it impossible to relate the results to the general population. Furthermore, the conducted study was carried out in accordance with the descriptive function of scientific research. Such a nature of the study enables the description and recording of the occurrence of a specific phenomenon. It is therefore worth undertaking in the future further research of an explanatory nature, the results of which would make it possible to draw conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships in the perception of smart home systems, taking into account the variables mediating and moderating the studied relationships. Practical implications: The way of perceiving smart home systems correlates positively both with the degree of customers’ knowledge and the state of ownership, and the correlation strength in both cases is at a comparable level. Therefore, the perception of smart home systems does not necessarily result from having personal experience with their use, but also can only be based on the customers’ acquaintance. It can therefore be concluded that marketing communication strategies aimed at increasing the awareness of smart home systems will allow to gain recognition of their usefulness and, as a result, will be effective in increasing the smart home market. Originality/value: The undertaken research attempts to fill the gap in determining the consumer's optics regarding the predilection of smart home systems. The user's perspective allows us to understand the cognitive component of buyers' attitudes towards smart homes, taking into account the local dimension of the study (opinions of Polish consumers).

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to attempt to identify the relation between social media activity and self-esteem. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the purpose of the article, the study was carried out in the form of an online survey technique supported by an online questionnaire, created in the Microsoft Forms environment, on a sample of 300 individuals who possessed the characteristics of representatives of society 5.0. Findings: The conducted study indicated that there is a significant negative correlation of low strength between self-esteem measured by the RSES scale and activity on the Instagram app. In addition, we found that self-esteem depends on gender (men have significantly higher levels of self-esteem than women), while activity on the Instagram app depends on gender (women spend significantly more time on the Instagram app than men) and age. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the survey conducted are the nonrandom sampling of individuals and the size of the study sample, which make it impossible to relate the results to the general population as a whole. In addition, the study was conducted taking into account only one social network, which was Instagram. This type of study makes it impossible to relate the results to the general population of various sites, or even social media. Future research should focus on taking into account the differences in activity between the available social networks, and should also take into account other determinants that may affect it in some direct or indirect way. Practical implications: The study conducted can be useful for brands communicating with users and promoting their products via social media. Companies can pay attention to the differences in the use of Instagram by young users and, based on this knowledge, create and then publish advertising content on the said platform. Social implications: The results of the study can make social media users - both viewers and creators - aware that showing an ideal life on the Instagram platform, can decrease the selfesteem of the recipients of these messages. Having this kind of information, it is worth considering whether online activity significantly alters behavior and lowers well-being, and whether the actions of creators are carried out in a sustainable manner. Originality/value: While most of the studies covering the topic covered focus on the Facebook platform or social media in general, this article focuses on the Instagram platform.

Cel: W warunkach czwartej rewolucji przemysłowej zachodzi wiele zmian, z którymi muszą zmierzyć się organizacje. Powstaje konieczność przystosowania się do funkcjonowania w nowych warunkach przy jednoczesnym akceptowaniu rozwiązań, które sprawdzone zostały w praktycznej działalności. W warunkach przemysłu 4.0 zmiany dotykają także rozwiązań w sferze jakości. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie uwarunkowań powstania jakości 4.0, jej rozumienia i konsekwencji. Ponadto przedstawienie wpływu przemysłu 4.0 na doskonalenie jakości 4.0. Problemy te pokazane zostały w odniesieniu do opublikowanych wyników badań wybranych autorów oraz badań własnych. Ważnym celem jest także odniesienie się do społeczeństwa 5.0 i jakości 5.0. Projekt badania/metodyka badawcza/koncepcja: W artykule dokonano przeglądu prac poświęconych problematyce jakości 4.0, przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań oraz wyniki badań własnych uzyskane na podstawie autorskiej ankiety skierowanej do 300 polskich przedsiębiorstw posiadających wdrożony SZJ. Wyniki/Wnioski: Uzyskane wyniki, wsparte badaniami literaturowymi i ankietowymi, wskazują na rozwój pojęcia jakość 4.0, trudności w jej postrzeganiu i wdrażaniu zarządzania jakością 4.0. Oznacza to konieczność doskonalenia kompetencji, większego nacisku na szkolenia i zmiany świadomości projakościowej. Ponadto konieczne są dalsze badania naukowe i wdrożenia praktycznych rozwiązań służących doskonaleniu zarządzania jakością 4.0 i 5.0. Niezbędna jest kontynuacja konferencji naukowych umożliwiających wymianę wiedzy między nauką i praktyką. Ograniczenia: Badaniami objęto 300 przedsiębiorstw zorientowanych projakościowo w Polsce, jednak wiele z nich nie wzięło udziału w badaniach lub udzieliło niekompletnych informacji. Istnieje zatem potrzeba kontynuowania badań i rozszerzenia ich także na firmy nieposiadające wdrożonego SZJ. Zastosowanie praktyczne: Przedstawione wyniki wskazują na kierunki badań, które powinny być podjęte, by wyjaśniać, zachęcać i wskazywać sposoby wdrażania rozwiązań, jakie niesie ze sobą rewolucja 4.0, oraz pokazywać sposoby przezwyciężania pojawiających się problemów. Konieczna jest w tym względzie wymiana wiedzy i doświadczeń pomiędzy nauką i praktyką. Oryginalność/wartość poznawcza: Wskazano na możliwe podejścia do jakości 4.0, uzasadniono potrzebę wzajemnego oddziaływania przemysłu 4.0 i jakości 4.0, wskazano na możliwości, jakie posiada przemysł 4.0 w procesie doskonalenia zarzadzania jakością 4.0, przedstawiono przesłanki przemawiające za rozwojem jakości 5.0 w warunkach społeczeństwa 5.0.

Purpose: In the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution, there are many changes that organisations have to face. The need arises to adapt to functioning in new conditions while accepting solutions that have been proven in practical operations. In the conditions of Industry 4.0, changes also affect solutions in the quality sphere. The aim of this article is to show the conditions for the emergence of Quality 4.0, its understanding and consequences. Furthermore, a presentation of the impact of Industry 4.0 on the improvement of Quality 4.0. These problems are shown in relation to the published research results of selected authors and own research. An important objective is also to refer to Society 5.0 and Quality 5.0. Design/methodology/approach: The article reviews the work devoted to the issue of Quality 4.0, presents selected research results, and presents the results of own research obtained on the basis of the author’s questionnaire addressed to 300 Polish enterprises with an implemented QMS. Findings/conclusions: The results obtained based on literature studies and surveys indicate the development of the concept of Quality 4.0, the difficulties in perceiving it and the implementation of quality management 4.0. This implies the need for improved competence, more emphasis on training and a change in pro-quality awareness. In addition, further research and implementation of practical solutions to improve quality management 4.0 and 5.0 are needed. Continuation of scientific conferences that enable the exchange of knowledge between science and practice is essential. Research limitations: 300 quality-oriented companies in Poland were surveyed, many of them did not participate in the research or provided incomplete information, so there is a need to continue the research and extend it also to companies without an implemented QMS. Practical implications: the results presented point to research directions that should be undertaken to clarify, encourage and indicate ways to implement the solutions brought about by the 4.0 revolution and to identify ways to overcome the problems that arise. An exchange of knowledge and experience between science and practice is necessary in this regard. Originality/value: Possible approaches to Quality 4.0 are indicated, the need for the interaction between Industry 4.0 and Quality 4.0 is justified, the possibilities of Industry 4.0 in the process of improving quality management 4.0 are indicated, the rationale for the development of Quality 5.0 in the conditions of Society 5.0 is presented.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to assess the level of use of information technologies by households in selected European countries and the resulting transformations in socio-economic relations. Design/methodology/approach: The article uses one of the taxonomic methods – the Hellwig’s development pattern method. 20 diagnostic features were adopted to develop Hellwig’s synthetic measure. They reflect the access and use of the Internet by households in five areas: networking and formal activities in the fields of e-government, e-banking, e-education, e-health; carrying out political and civic activities online (consulting, voting, expressing opinions); making informal contacts and participating in social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.); e-commerce; using instant messaging and e-mail. Findings: In the light of the characteristics adopted for the survey, the highest level of use of information technology by households is characteristic of Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Finland. The countries with the lowest rates are Romania and Bulgaria. Research limitations/implications: The studies presented may contribute to further in-depth analyses of the links between the use of information technologies in individual countries and their level of economic development in the long term. Originality/value: The results are addressed to public authorities in 30 European countries. On their basis, leaders in the use of information technologies by households in various areas of economic and social life were identified. The distance between the other countries was also diagnosed. The results of the research can guide public authorities in developing strategies for the development and dissemination of information technologies in their countries.
