The discourse presented in this article is focused on the subjects of leadership and management, as well as relationships between these two. This discourse requires the inclusion of multicontextual changes of the neoliberal world which make leaders face new requirements. The most important requirements are: the increasing role of leadership, management for leadership and need of proactivity. The arguments put forward in this article show that there is a need to generate new attitudes that will go beyond the boundaries determined by partial paradigms so that they are relevant to the dynamics of changes in the contemporary world.

The aim of this article is to indicate selected possibilities of analysing the construct of proactivity. This goal was achieved by referring to selected definitions and the concepts of proactivity and by discussing a research project aimed at recognizing the proactivity of students towards their professional career. To measure the level of proactivity, the Scale of Proactive Behavior in Career was used, which includes four types of proactivity: general, cognitive, in building a support network and in building psychological comfort. The independent variables in the research were: taking on professional activity during studies, using services offered by a Career Office and a career counsellor. 271 students from four Polish universities took part in the study. The highest mean score was on the general proactivity scale, followed by the proactivity scale in building a support network, the scale of proactivity in building psychological comfort, and the lowest on the scale of cognitive proactivity. These means differ statistically. The conducted analysis also proved that the level of proactivity is statistically significantly differentiated depending on whether the respondents used the Career Office or a career counsellor. The conclusions from the analysis were discussed in two perspectives – diagnostic and methodical.

The subjective dimension of career development involves and connects career planning with private models of human life, professional aspirations and with the way they perceive their experiences. It should be noted here that Theory of Work Adjustment (R.V. Dawis) is the theoretical orientation, which attempts to explain satisfaction with career development by reference to the dynamics of the relationship between the subject and the environment. , is the theory of employability. The theory is rooted in the tradition of individual differences in the professional behaviour. This perspective links the career choice and development, seen as a permanent process, with the cycles of work adaptation, the source of which lies in the feeling of dissatisfaction. Unmet need of satisfaction is seen as a state of insatiability. Individuals aim at meeting this need through adaptation, which means seeking professional organizations and communities to meet their expectations (in the context of quality of meeting needs). The result of the search for determinants of job satisfaction is to draw attention to the following relationship, namely: commitment to a career increases the level of satisfaction resulting from career development.

The contemporary labour market is characterised by broadly understood flexibility which conditions the uncertainty of the professional situation of a person participating therein. One of the factors increasing their chances to have a successful career are not only relevant competences, qualifications and proactive behaviours to the benefit of their own development, but also their trust in their own abilities. In this article it has been attempted to confirm the thesis on the existence of co-dependence between the individual’s proactivity and self-efficacy in the process of developing a professional career. To this end, a review of selected theoretical depictions on both, constructs and results of research explorations specifying mutual relations, was conducted. The observations made have both, theoretical and practical implications that are interesting in cognitive terms. The analysis thereof may prove to be especially important with regard to young people who are preparing to enter the labour market.

Objective: This paper provides a comprehensive investigation of coping with distress, with a focus on the proactive approach, which is of particular significance for individuals who manage identity transitions periods. Researchers discuss findings from two independent projects analyzing individual variation in strategies for coping with difficult situations at the extremes of life: adolescence and old age. Both studies were conducted between 2014 and 2016. Proactivity preferences were analyzed in a sample of 332 adolescents. Similarly, results collected among 1552 seniors were analyzed. The tools used in the analysis were the Proactive Coping Inventory for Adolescents (PCI-A) and the Proactive Coping Inventory for Adults (PCI). Results: Our findings show that the strategies preferred by the adolescent group included: proactive coping, looking for emotional support and preventive coping. Whereas the results for the elderly group showed their preference for looking for emotional support, reflective and preventive coping. Nevertheless the proactive coping strategy was chosen by adolescents as well as the elderly. The analysis performed demonstrated no significant difference in the reflective coping strategy for the compared age groups. Conclusions: The findings can be explained by theoretical accounts that question the classical developmental models with normative life trajectories and develop more person-oriented idiographic approach with decollectivisation of the life course thesis (Loos, 2012) becoming increasingly evident. Key words: proactiveness, adolescence, ageing, transition, identity, medical practise, education

The obligation to be imprisoned in penitentiary isolation causes personal damages in the form of emotional, motivation or behavioral disorders. The negative effect of depriving needs of prisoners is their increased tendency to perform intentional self-harm while serving imprisonment. Besides to the factors contributing to the occurrence of self-aggressive behaviors, there are also protective factors that are undoubtedly less often subject to psychological studies. The study involved 50 convicted men serving their sentences once again in their lives. To determine the level of their proactivity, The Scale of Proactivity in Penitentiary Isolation (PPI) was used, while their propensity to self-aggression was determined using The Inventory of Statements about self-injury (ISAS). The article discusses the results of our own research, which proved that proactivity as a personality trait has a negative relationship with self-aggression. Proactive actions aimed at gaining a sense of self-competence and family support are most important in the protection against the self-aggresion behaviour of convicts. Moreover, the study showed that proactive convicts have significantly longer intervals between acts of self-aggression, as well as their proactive activities coexist with declarations of the desire to stop self-harm in the future.

Obowiązek przymusowego przebywania w izolacji penitencjarnej wywołuje szkody osobiste w postaci zaburzeń emocji, motywacji czy zachowania. Negatywnym skutkiem deprywacji potrzeb skazanych jest ich podwyższona skłonność do dokonywania intencjonalnych samouszkodzeń podczas odbywania kary pozbawienia wolności. Oprócz czynników sprzyjających występowaniu zachowań autoagresywnych istnieją także czynniki chroniące, które bezspornie rzadziej są przedmiotem opracowań psychologicznych. W badaniu wzięło udział 50 skazanych mężczyzn, odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności po raz kolejny w życiu. Do ustalenia poziomu ich proaktywności wykorzystano Skalę proaktywności w izolacji więziennej (SPIW15), natomiast ich skłonność do autoagresji ustalono przy użyciu Inwentarza samouszkodzeń (ISAS). W artykule omówiono wyniki badań własnych, które dowiodły, że proaktywność jako cecha osobowości ma negatywny związek z autoagresją recydywistów. W ochronie przed autoagresywnymi zachowaniami skazanych największy udział mają proaktywne działania nastawione na uzyskiwanie poczucia własnej kompetencji i wsparcia rodzinnego. Ponadto w badaniu wykazano, że proaktywni skazani mają istotnie dłuższe przerwy między aktami autoagresji, a także ich proaktywne działania współwystępują z deklaracjami dotyczącymi chęci zaprzestania samouszkodzeń w przyszłości.

Research objectives and problems: The purpose of the study was to test the impact of a high seas cruise on a traditional sailing ship, during which sail training is implemented, on selected characteristics of the participants. It was thought that significant, positive changes would emerge in terms of decision-making, perception of the future, resistance to change, and proactivity – and that these changes would be related to temperament. Research methods: Using the General Decision Making Style instrument, the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale, the Resistance to Change Scale, and the Proactivity Scale, a questionnaire with repeated measurement was administered to two groups of adolescents taking part in a sea cruise (Group 1: 14-day cruise, 11 boys, 8 girls, M age=17.1; Group 2: 7-day cruise, 13 boys, 7 girls, M age = 21.9). Measurements were taken on the first and last day of the cruise and one month after the cruise. Multilevel modeling was used to examine how temperament moderates changes in decision-making style, consideration of future consequences, resistance to change, and level of proactivity. Structure of the article: The text provides information on sail training, including the historical context, previous research, and impact on youths’ development. The role of temperament in shaping behavior and its relevance to sail training are introduced. The theoretical constructs investigated, and the tools used in the research are described. The research objectives are stated and the sample and procedure are explained. The results are presented and discussed. Limitations and conclusions are indicated. Research findings and their impact: Emotional reactivity significantly moderated the increase in dependent and avoidant decision-making styles and short-term focus, while it decreased cognitive rigidity and proactivity. Activity counteracted growth in avoidant decision-making style, reduced resistance to change, routine seeking, and emotional reactivity to change, lowered short-term focus, and supported growth in proactivity. Resilience counteracted the positive development of proactivity. Conclusions and recommendations: Temperament traits can be mediators of change in terms of the constructs discussed herein. The results allow us to look at sail training from a new perspective, though further research on a regular School Under Sails and aboard other sailing ships is needed to formulate indisputable conclusions.

Changes that take place in a job environment, job structure, job perception, as well as in the sphere of features, meanings and values ascribed to work are constituents of changes in the contemporary world, particularly of the development of the free market economy. It is difficult to overestimate the significance of these changes for the quality of career construction, its development and modification of its individualized paths. The contemporary study of career requires taking into account multicontextual changes in the world of work, that make employees face new challenges. In the economy based on knowledge, which in turn determines the orientation of the modern society to knowledge, the career development of its members and investing in their „portfolio” become the key elements of such an economy. The development of a career “portfolio” means the investment and renewal of the career capital on the path of proactivity.

Although research has examined the role leaders may play in shaping job re-design behaviors among their subordinates, little is known about the way managers craft their jobs as compared to other employees. In two cross-sectional studies we tested whether organizational rank affects the frequency of job crafting (H1), and to what extent this relationship is mediated via perceived autonomy (H2). Study 1 (N = 267) demonstrated that managers craft their jobs more frequently than non-managers by increasing structural job resources and seeking challenges at work. We also showed that autonomy explains the relationship between organizational rank and the frequency of increasing structural and social job demands, as well as seeking challenges. However, managers did not craft their jobs by decreasing job demands more often than regular employees. In Study 2 (N = 262) we replicated this pattern of results, subsequently demonstrating that managers with shorter tenure use their autonomy to craft their jobs via decreasing job demands. We discuss the contributions and potential implications of these results.

The article deals with the issue of developing children’s proactivity using design thinking as a method of education for sustainable development. In the context of the ongoing climate crisis, the main objective of the research was to determine how the design thinking method develops children's proactivity towards nature. The methodology was based on action research, which was conducted in a constructivist, interpretive paradigm. The analysis of the obtained results showed that during the design thinking process, which consisted of four stages: “Feel”, “Design”, “Act” and “Inspire”, children developed their proactivity and initiative by, among others, observing and diagnosing the problems of the surrounding reality, developing the skills of negotiation, decision making, active learning, goal setting, designing their own action, searching for information, constructing problem solving strategies, evaluating their own actions, and managing the learning process.

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje problematykę rozwijania dziecięcej proaktywności z wykorzystaniem design thinking jako metody wpisującej się w nurt edukacji dla zrównoważonego rozwoju. W związku z postępującym kryzysem klimatycznym głównym celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie, w jaki sposób metoda design thinking wspiera rozwój proaktywności w zakresie działań na rzecz ochrony przyrody u dzieci z klasy III szkoły podstawowej. W metodologii zastosowano badania w działaniu, które były prowadzone w paradygmacie konstruktywistycznym, interpretacyjnym. Analiza uzyskanych wyników pokazała, że w trakcie procesu design thinking, obejmującego etapy: „Poczuj”, „Projektuj”, „Działaj” i „Inspiruj”, dzieci rozwijały swoją proaktywność i podejmowanie inicjatywy m.in. poprzez obserwowania i diagnozowanie problemów otaczającej ich rzeczywistości, rozwijanie umiejętności negocjacji, podejmowania decyzji, aktywnego uczenia się, wyznaczania celów, projektowania własnego działania, poszukiwania informacji, konstruowania strategii rozwiązywania problemów, ewaluacji własnych działań czy zarządzania procesami uczenia się.

Purpose: Franchising activities are highly specific, and research on improving the organization and management of human resources in such companies is rarely conducted due to the overestimation of the rigidity of the franchisee-franchisor agreement in terms of implementing appropriate attitudes and behaviors of organization members, including stimulating proactivity, building organizational support or motivating employees. Hence, the main aim of the study is to determine how motivation, organizational trust and proactivity affect a franchise company's development potential. Design/methodology/approach: The study had a form of questionnaire survey realized among 150 franchise businesses in 2022. The opinions of the respondents were gathered using a 5-point Likert scale. The study's respondents were chosen by purposeful random selection. Once the reliability indicator values had been accepted, a statistical study utilizing descriptive statistics, correlation indicators, and a multiple regression model had been completed. Findings: The research confirmed positive correlations between employee proactivity, organizational trust and internal motivation system and the development potential of franchising companies. The built multiple regression model indicated that these variables significantly influence the development potential of franchisees' companies - the whole model explained 42.8% of variation in the response. Research limitations: The main limitations of the study was not fully representative research sample, thus the study requires further confirmation. The quantitative nature of the study should be extended to include qualitative research explaining the examined relationships. Practical implications: For management practitioners, the development of management tools is recommended to improve internal organization and HR management, which should be created as a complementary element to principles of the franchising system rather than as competing one. Originality/value: The paper's contribution is visible by highlighting the significance of creating an organizational culture based on motivation, internal trust and proactivity in development of organization within the franchising network.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu było ukazanie roli mądrości w wyjaśnianiu stosowania strategii radzenia sobie z codziennymi stresującymi wydarzeniami życiowymi u osób w późnej dorosłości. Zgodnie z badaniami Ardelt, mądrość, rozumiana jako złożenie komponentu poznawczego, refleksyjnego i emocjonalnego, może być zasobem uzdalniającym osoby dorosłe do proaktywnego radzenia sobie.Badaniu poddano grupę 86 osób w późnej dorosłości. Posłużono się następującymi metodami badawczymi: Trzywymiarową Skalą Mądrości Życiowej (Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale: 3D-WS) autorstwa Ardelt, w adaptacji Steuden, Brudka i Izdebskiego, oraz Kwestionariuszem Reakcji na Codzienne Wydarzenia (The Proactive Coping Inventory – Polish Adaptation: PCI) Sęk, Pasikowskiego, Tauberta, Greenglass i Schwarzera.Wyniki przeprowadzonego badania potwierdzają wyjaśniającą rolę mądrości dla preferencji podejmowanych strategii zaradczych w późnej dorosłości. Mądrość w wymiarze afektywnym okazała się predyktorem proaktywnego, refleksyjnego i prewencyjnego radzenia sobie oraz strategicznego planowania. Wymiar afektywny wyjaśniał zmienność stosowania strategii poszukiwania wsparcia instrumentalnego i emocjonalnego

The purpose of this article was to demonstrate the role of wisdom in explaining the preference of coping strategies to deal with daily stressful life events in late adulthood. According to Ardelt's research, wisdom, understood as a composite of cognitive, relfective, and afective (compassionate) components, may be a resource that empowers adults to cope proactively. A group of 86 individuals in late adulthood was studied. The following research methods were used: Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) by Ardelt, adapted by Steuden, Brudek and Izdebski and The Proactive Coping Inventory (Polish Adaptation: PCI) by Sęk, Pasikowski, Taubert, Greenglass and Schwarzer. The results of the study confirm the explanatory role of wisdom for the preference of coping strategies in late adulthood. Wisdom in the afective dimension proved to be a predictor of proactive, reflective, and preventive coping and strategic planning. The afective dimension explained variability in the use of instrumental and emotional sup port-seeking strategies.
