Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze and evaluate the remote work of public sector employees during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, taking into account the evaluation of the efficiency of the tasks performed, taking into account the type of position held, the experience of the employees, technical and organizational aspects, the inconvenience of the work and the level of digital competence. Design/methodology/approach: Providing remote work is becoming increasingly common, especially in the context of the Sars-CoV2 pandemic. Both employees and employers recognize the benefits of a flexible work model, as well as several limitations and challenges. The findings of past research on remote work and the study's results indicate the relevance of this research area. This is particularly important concerning the public sector, which is not the subject of as much interest as the private sector. The problem of remote work is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, hence the need for research using various research methods and techniques. Therefore, our research is based on a mixed approach. They took advantage of the literature analysis and legal regulations on remote work in the public sector and applied a diagnostic survey using a survey questionnaire. In turn, statistical methods such as the chi-square test, p-value, and Pearson's coefficient were used for analysis. Findings: The results of our study showed that the evaluation of the effectiveness of remote work by public sector employees varies. In addition, of the seven hypotheses posed, three were positively verified: (1) the effectiveness of remote work depends on organizational conditions; (2) the effectiveness of remote work depends on the support of supervisors; (3) The effectiveness of remote work is related to perceptions of changes in the quality of services during the e pandemic. The results also suggest the need to develop management training programs that consider the role of support and communication with employees in the context of remote work. Research limitations/implications: The study provided valuable information on evaluating remote work in the public sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the study has some limitations. On the one hand, confirmation of three of the seven hypotheses indicates the existence of relationships between the variables studied, but at the same time, highlights the need for further research. The analysis focuses on the public sector, which may not be entirely representative of other sectors, and the focus on employee perceptions may affect the subjectivity of the results obtained. Practical implications: The study's results highlight several critical recommendations for organizations in the public sector. First, there is a need to develop training programs that focus on support and communication in the context of remote work to ensure higher efficiency. Second, there is a need to implement a communication strategy to ensure that information flows effectively when working remotely. In addition, organizations should regularly monitor and analyze employee satisfaction and performance to identify areas for improvement. Finally, analyzing the impact of remote work on the quality of services provided is essential to identify and provide the necessary resources or support in relevant areas. Originality/value: The article addresses the timely and relevant topic of the impact of pandemic on remote work, which represents a research gap. From the literature, the issue has been analyzed in the context of the commercial sector, while limited research exists for the government sector. Our research fills a gap in the literature on remote work in the public sector in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing valuable information on the effectiveness and factors affecting the quality of remote work in this sector.

Technological advances and the digital revolution have caused much of social activity to move online. The Internet has become a tool without which it is difficult to imagine the functioning of modern states. However, it is also some of conflicts between states that have moved online, and states with the highest degree of digitization, which include the Nordic states, have become a target of attacks by other states or organizations. In this article, the Author will attempt to answer the question of how the Nordic states and their societies defend themselves against cyber threats. The characteristics of the attacks carried out against them and the levels of digitization of the societies will also be compared.

Postęp technologiczny i rewolucja cyfrowa sprawiły, że znaczna część aktywności spo-łecznych przeniosła się do sieci. Internet stał się narzędziem, bez którego trudno wyobra¬zić sobie funkcjonowanie współczesnych państw. Jednocześnie część konfliktów między państwami także przeniosła się do sieci, a państwa o najwyższym stopniu cyfryzacji, do których można zaliczyć państwa nordyckie, stały się celem ataków innych państw lub or-ganizacji. W artykule autor podjął próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie: W jaki sposób państwa nor¬dyckie i ich społeczeństwa bronią się przed cyberzagrożeniami? Porównał charakterysty¬ki przeprowadzanych przeciwko nim ataków oraz poziomy cyfryzacji społeczeństw.

Companies need more and more employees with digital skills. The question arises: who do companies need for their Industry 4.0 strategy. Design/methodology/approach: The paper consists of two parts: an overview of the competences of the Industry 4.0 workforce and a list of IT professions. The list of occupations is based on a review of government websites: www.praca.gov.pl; www.prace.cz. The paper presents occupations according to the innovative technologies of Industry 4.0. Findings: Demand for employees is driven by the key technologies of Industry 4.0. The analysis of IT professions is presented by the following technologies: ITC systems and networks, automation and robots online, AI, Big Data, Big Data Analytics, IoT, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity. Research limitations/implications: The list of professions included in the paper is not complete, but exemplary (it was made on the basis of job offers posted on the websites in December 2022). The list was created during a review of Polish and Czech government websites, which are both job listings and encyclopedias of occupations. Practical implications: This paper is an overview of IT professions that are particularly needed in Industry 4.0. The prepared description of professions according to the innovative technologies of Industry 4.0 can help companies plan the development of human resources. Originality/value: The topic of the human factor in Industry 4.0 is important and topical. Technologies are constantly changing and industrial concepts are evolving (currently Industry 4.0 is changing into Industry 5.0). In the technological and industrial innovations taking place, the question of the competence of the modern company's employee is still relevant.

The development of new technologies brings a boom in global business and trade and increases demands on knowledge and skills, which is reflected positively in economic growth. The aim of the research is to investigate the best EU countries in the digital economy, using two representative approaches. The attention is focused on the DESI index in 2014-2021 and the Global Digital Competitiveness Index. Using multidimensional approach and multi-criteria methods, the best countries were identified as Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands and also driving forces, both significant in statistical and economic contexts. The significant correlations between the dimensions of the DESI index were also demonstrated. The identified key factors for managerial implications in the strategy of digital transformation of the EU are human capital, integration of digital technology and digital skills, based on the best practices from the best EU countries.
