The article is an attempt to show the importance of the minimum wage in the economy and TSL branch. In this article authors made an effort to describe the trends in the minimum wage in the European Union and selected countries around the world. The article contains research results covering the development of the minimum wage in relation to the Gross Domestic Product of the Republic of Poland. The analyses carried out in the study indicate that although the minimum wage is much lower in Poland than in the countries of the so-called old Union, it is relatively high compared to the new EU member states. This situation is the result of a strong increase in the minimum wage in Poland in the recent period.

Artykuł jest próbą ukazania znaczenia płacy minimalnej w gospodarce i branży TSL. W artykule autorzy podjęli próbę opisania trendów w zakresie płacy minimalnej w Unii Europejskiej i wybranych krajach świata. Artykuł zawiera wyniki badań obejmujące kształtowanie się płacy minimalnej w relacji do produktu krajowego brutto Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Analizy przeprowadzone w badaniu wskazują, że chociaż płaca minimalna jest w Polsce znacznie niższa niż w krajach tzw. starej Unii, to jednak jest relatywnie wysoka w porównaniu z nowymi państwami członkowskimi UE. Sytuacja ta jest wynikiem silnego wzrostu płacy minimalnej w Polsce w ostatnim okresie.
Purpose: The paper aimed to analyze the profitability of the ten selected healthcare units in Poland before and after ownership transformation. Source data used for calculations came from the financial statements of the examined healthcare units. Design/methodology/approach: The paper focuses on ratio analysis, i.e., profitability, which facilitates the evaluation of the studied hospitals in two periods, 'before transformation' and 'after transformation'. A method of scientific cognition was used (1): an analysis of the subject literature, a method of obtaining empirical data (2): an analysis of the content of internal documentation of the analyzed healthcare entities (hospitals), and a method of analysis of the obtained empirical material (3): indicator analysis. Undertaken research contributed to the formulation of the research objective: Is there an improvement in the profitability of medical entities (hospitals) in Poland following ownership transformation? Referring to the presented research problem, the author formulated the following hypothesis: There is an improvement in the profitability of the examined healthcare entities in Poland. Findings: The study's results allow the author to verify the research hypothesis. The spatial scope of the analysis refers to the territory of Poland with a focus on three selected provinces: Lesser Poland (małopolskie), Kuyavia-Pomerania (kujawsko-pomorskie), and Lubusz (lubuskie). The time scope of the study covers three years before the transformation of a given 'SP ZOZ' (Independent Public Healthcare Institution) into a commercial law company and three years after the transformation. The subject scope of the evaluation includes: hospitals subordinate to local government units (LGUs) transformed into commercial law companies. The subject scope of the evaluation is the profitability of hospitals. Research limitations/implications: The results obtained are of great practical importance for managers, shareholders and other stakeholders in the health care sector. Nevertheless, the proposed considerations certainly do not exhaust all possible solutions and may be the subject of further research and scientific discussions. In the future, the author plans to expand the research results with the criterion of social effectiveness (quality of services provided and patient satisfaction with the services of medical entities). Practical implications: The results of the work can become an incentive for executives, managers and investors, as they indicate an improvement in the profitability of hospitals. Social implications: The implementation of the research results will contribute to increasing public awareness of the functioning of hospitals. Originality/value: The number of studies on the financial performance of medical entities is insufficient. All the more, the research results presenting the evaluation of the financial situation of the transformed entities are extremely valuable. The results from the conducted research indicate an improvement in the profitability of the examined medical entities (hospitals). In connection with this fact, legal changes resulting from normative acts (reforms in the healthcare sector) were also justified. The choice of topic results from the personal interests of the author.

Purpose: The purpose of using the method is to obtain information on the social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry, taking into account the phase of design, implementation, monitoring and impact assessment for the industry and local communities. Design/methodology/approach: The theses presented in the article have been verified using: literature review, critical literature analysis, document research and comparative analysis. The article presents a research method enabling social assessment of barriers and determinants of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry under the just transition mechanism. The method of researching the social perception of the hard coal mining employment restructuring process, due to the specificity and complexity of the issue under consideration, uses various, mutually complementary methods and techniques of social research: quantitative and qualitative. Findings: As a result of the analyzes and surveys carried out, a set of conclusions can be presented, the most important of which include conclusions relating to social issues – implementation of the economic transformation in mining communes and poviats is possible in the coming years, but the communes are not prepared for the transformation. The negative effects of the employment restructuring process on the local economy may be noticeable in significant liquidation of enterprises cooperating with entities restructuring industry, reduction of revenues to the budget of local government authorities and reduction of demand on the local market. Originality/value: The article enriches knowledge and develops a discussion in the area of social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry. The attempt to capture the phenomena and processes presented here that may result from the transformation of hard coal mining in Poland is aimed at a better comprehension of the task that may be played by the local government in the area of which operating or closed mines and mining companies are located. On the basis of the results of the survey, it is mainly noticed that there is a need to define the challenges and tasks that should be undertaken in real action by the institutions responsible for the transformation of mining communes – especially due to the need to limit the social and economic consequences that may appear in the transformation process, both in the area of mining communes mining and in their surroundings.

The method of researching the social perception of the hard coal mining employment restructuring process, due to the specificity and complexity of the issue under consideration, uses various, mutually complementary methods and techniques of social research: quantitative and qualitative. Findings: As a result of the interviews carried out, it seems that all the expert assessments and opinions expressed confirm thesis that if the changes related to the just transition process cannot be stopped, then one must learn to take advantage of it. The view expressed above regarding the process of just transformation, which implies both economic and social challenges that are important for mining communes, among which the following deserve special attention as increasing the importance of the participation of mining communes in making government decisions, more friendly conditions shaping cooperation, need for mining communes to implement projects based on local mobility, adaptability and social sensitivity, need to increase social awareness related to mining in mining communes with responsibility for the just transition process, disappearance of state policies in the implementation of social functions in the phase of ongoing changes and taking them over by the local society. Originality/value: The article enriches knowledge and develops a discussion in the area of social perception of the employment restructuring process in the mining industry. Based on the assessments and opinions of experts, it seems that in the perspective of the predictable occurrence of the transformation process, it could be important for local governments, and in particular mining communes, to promote actions for an evolutionary, not short-term shift from coal-based energy to low-emission sources - striving to make it a multi-stage and long-term process. Equally important may be the pursuit of solutions according to which the principle of introducing funds directly to individual communes for the implementation of the just transformation process will be adopted. Must be considerated need for local governments, including mining communes, to obtain state intervention appropriate to the scale of the challenges, while equipping them with reliable and comprehensively planned proposals for transformational activities limiting their spontaneity.

Odchodzimy od modelu gospodarki linearnej na rzecz gospodarki obiegu zamkniętego. Staramy się odejść od zasady wyprodukuj-użyj-wyrzuć i przejść do zasady maksymalnego wykorzystania potencjału produktu, a po zakończeniu jego cyklu życia - ponownie go wykorzystać, czyli zawrócić do obiegu. W ten sposób możliwe jest zaoszczędzenie zasobów naturalnych oraz zmniejszenie liczby wytwarzanych odpadów.

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to stimulate discussion on the following thesis presented in the article. Anticipating the process of just transition without taking into account demographic changes will incompletely reveal the social and economic effects caused by it. Design/methodology/approach: the research used the method of descriptive and comparative statistics, as well as literature review, critical analysis of literature, document research and comparative analysis. Findings: on the basis of the analyses and research carried out in this article, it can be concluded that in the examined areas of mining municipalities – in the part relating to the stream of labour supply – a dynamic process of ageing of labour resources is clearly noticeable. On the basis of the above conclusion, it seems that the need to subordinate the policies implemented in the city to the indicated process is justified. Originality/value: the entirety of the outlined changes, processes and forecasts indicates that in order to reduce the stratification in the examined areas, which is the main source of structural mismatches, it is necessary to undertake actions aimed at building future-oriented municipal policies – especially with regard to old age. Failure to take such measures in the perspective of social and economic transformation may delay preparation for the seemingly inevitable changes in the age structure of the population living in the studied areas of mining municipalities.

Porównanie europejskich doświadczeń w gospodarce odpadami w kontekście dyrektyw, decyzji i rozporządzeń przyjętych w ostatniej dekadzie w Unii Europejskiej, a także stanu ram organizacyjnych, ekonomicznych i regulacyjnych z ukraińskimi wykazało systemowe opóźnienie rozwiązywania problemu odpadów w Ukrainie we wdrażaniu nowych podejść koncepcyjnych, metodologicznych i praktycznych do kształtowania odpowiedniej polityki państwa. Przeanalizowano dynamikę postępowania z niektórymi rodzajami odpadów w Ukrainie. Zidentyfikowano cechy unieszkodliwiania i gospodarowania odpadami w Ukrainie. Przeprowadzono charakterystykę porównawczą dynamiki per capita wytwarzania odpadów w krajach europejskich i w Ukrainie. Powstał blokowy model systemu finansowania sektora gospodarki odpadami w Ukrainie i wyznaczono kierunki jego efektywnej gospodarki. Sformułowano priorytetowe środki polityki w zakresie gospodarki odpadami i wykorzystania zasobów wtórnych. Priorytetowo potraktowano szereg przeszkód na drodze efektywnej gospodarki odpadami w Ukrainie. W kontekście kształtowania efektywnej strategii gospodarowania odpadami zalecono uporządkowanie jej trzech elementów składowych podsystemu: wpływów (źródeł powstawania) środków, ich akumulacji oraz kosztów (wydatków). Zaproponowana struktura wskazuje na obecność wielu przepływów środków, z których każdy jest w dużej mierze autonomiczny, ale razem tworzą komplementarny system. Zaproponowano ulepszenia ram prawnych. W szczególności zaleca się przeznaczenie większych środków na reorientację istniejącego modelu gospodarczego, co stworzy nowe warunki biznesowe i zwiększy napływ inwestycji do kraju.

Adam Smith was the first person to identify specialization and the division of labour as the main drivers of productivity. He also conceptualized the “invisible hand principle” which explains how, under the proper set of incentives, self-interested individuals are directed to pursue activities that benefit the whole of society. Both ideas are of utmost importance in the field of management. Specifically, successful managers are those who are able to create good “rules of the game” which align the incentives of labour with the goals of the firm. Smith’s contributions provide a foundation for the division of labour and demonstrate the importance of establishing the right “institutions” within a firm, calling it a fair reward system. The paper arrives at practical implications for managers from the paper of an eighteenth-century economist. The major goal of the paper is to reflect over the decision-making process which requires vast time consumption.
PL
Adam Smith był pierwszą osobą, która zidentyfikowała specjalizację i podział pracy jako główne siły napędowe produktywności. Opracował koncepcję „niewidzialnej ręki”, która wyjaśnia, w jaki sposób, przy odpowiednim zestawie bodźców, pojedyncze jednostki nastawione na osiąganie własnych celów są kierowane do wykonywania działań przynoszących korzyści całemu społeczeństwu. Obie idee mają ogromne znaczenie w dziedzinie zarządzania. W szczególności odnoszący sukcesy menedżerowie to ci, którzy są w stanie stworzyć dobre „zasady gry”, dostosowując zachęty do pracy do celów firmy. Wkład Smitha stanowi podstawę podziału pracy i pokazuje znaczenie ustanowienia właściwych „instytucji” w firmie, nazywając to sprawiedliwym systemem wynagradzania. Artykuł nawiązuje do praktycznych implikacji dla menedżerów nawiązując do wkładu osiemnastowiecznego ekonomisty. Głównym celem artykułu jest podjęcie próby zastosowania teorii z dziedziny ekonomii do dziedziny zarządzania.
The article aims to present the research interests of docent Wiktor Ormicki - a geographer and lecturer at Jagiellonian University. These revolved around the aspects of the eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic and manifested, among other things, in his habilitation thesis entitled Życie gospodarcze Kresów Wschodnich Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (The Economic Life of the Eastern Borderlands of the Republic of Poland, Kraków 1929) His interests comprised the migration issues in the northeastern voivodeships. Ormicki left notes from his research trips to the eastern borderland, which were an interesting source for the analysis of the socio-economic life in the eastern provinces of the Second Polish Republic. He described the daily activities and customs of the inhabitants of these regions. He listed economic facilities (including brickyards, distilleries, and sawmills) operating in the places he visited. He also paid attention to the towns and villages and the natural environment at the eastern border. Both the travel notes and Ormicki’s scientific works are a valuable source for researchers of everyday life and the economy of the eastern border of interwar Poland.
