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 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 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.

The article focuses on selected problems which have now appeared and fall under the ideas “industry 4.0” and “society 5.0”, namely on anthropological issues. Changes in the relationships between man and technology based on trust lead to an increase of the role of the technological factor in these relations. Other aspects of the analyzed changes concern the new requirements of the responsibility and changes of human subjectivity and rationality. The future of man appears to be an area of uncertainty related to inter alia the conditions of functioning and living in the order of the post-digital world.

PL

Artykuł koncentruje się na wybranych problemach, jakie pojawiają się obecnie i mieszczą w ramach takich idei jak: „przemysł 4.0” i „społeczeństwo 5.0”, a mianowicie na zagadnieniach antropologicznych. Zmiany w relacjach pomiędzy człowiekiem a techniką oparte na zaufaniu prowadzą jednak do zwiększenia roli czynnika technicznego w tych relacjach. Inne aspekty analizowanych przemian dotyczą nowych wymogów odpowiedzialności i zmian dotyczących podmiotowości człowieka i jego racjonalności. Przyszłość człowieka jawi się jako obszar niepewności związanej między innymi z warunkami funkcjonowania i życia w porządku świata postcyfrowego.
