Changeability and accidentality are features of the modern world. Quite often it is difficult to predict the direction of changes. People approach differently unplanned and inexplicable things that happen in their life. The article presents the procedure of designing a Scale in order to investigate the attitude to accidental events and its psychometric properties. It was assumed that the attitude to accidental events may vary depending on the fact whether the examined person is to make a general statement or about a specific experience. Therefore, two versions of the scale were suggested. 286 people aged from 19 to 50 took part in the research. Both versions of the scale turned out to be tools of satisfactory reliability and accuracy. The factor analysis separated five factors in the first version of the scale and three factors in the second one.

The article presents the results of empirical studies in which the method of factor analysis was applied. Application of this method allowed to isolate the basic principal factors from the given set of variables describing the socio-economic development of voivodships. These factors may be interpreted as determinants of the regions' development and make possible the comparative analysis of Polish regions. The values of isolated principal factors were the basis for arrangement and classification of voivodehips into uniform typological groups.

The paper presents an investigation of the dimensionality of the need for structure construct in two scales - PNS (Thompson et al., 2001) and NFCS (Bar-Tal, 1994) on three Slovak samples (N = 1093). In Study 1 we tested four models by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Results indicate that need for structure is a multi-dimensional construct. In Study 2 the convergent and discriminant aspects of validity were examined. Results indicate good convergent and discriminant aspects of validity of these two scales and also support the two-factor structure of the need for structure construct. The integrative potential of examining the need for structure construct in relation to social perception, personality and motivation is discussed.

The main reason for this work is to present the research findings in the small and medium sized enterprises (SME) field. The principal view point is to identify and describe the endogenous factors, which characterize standard business behaviour in a chosen region. The analysis is based on a statistic data analysis on a descriptive level, representing the quantitative research area as well as the multidimensional statistic methods in qualitative research area, using Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Based on findings of the empirical study, conclusions are made by means of synthesis of the bibliographical sources and results of the individual factor research defining barriers in the SME sector, especially emphasizing the internal factors (under an active influence of a business unit). The VRIO strategic method of internal business analysis has been used to classify and interpret the established factors as a source for strategy planning and directing it to be more competitive in a globalised business environment.

In this paper we examine the degree of attractiveness of 134 national economies from the point of view of multinational producers – foreign investors – during the period 2011 – 2012. Our theoretical framework is determined by the so-called varieties of capitalism theory that enables us to describe the examined economies in terms of their institutional setup. We use factor analysis to identify latent factors that characterize the institutions of capital markets, labour markets, and government interventions in the field of fiscal policy and redistribution. Our results imply that labour market institutions and characteristics represent the decisive factor in determining the degree of attractiveness of these economies. According to our results, Slovak economy belongs to the group of the most attractive countries; however, the sustainability of this position critically depends on labour market developments – notably on maintaining the flexibility of employing workers, and the relatively high level of labour force qualifications and skills.

This study explores the contradictory classifications of the post-communist Europe in the Varieties of Capitalism perspective. The paper outlines several shortcomings that contribute to the discrepancy in the past classifications. The empirical part of this paper compares two methods of the coordination index construction, the factor analysis and our own alternative calculation. Subsequently we apply both of the procedures to two groups of countries, Western and Central Eastern Europe. This way we demonstrate that even when using the same input variables a slight change of method might result into different findings. In the end we therefore argue that the future studies be more careful in the methods used as well as the country and data selection. This could potentially help to improve the comparability and the credibility of the future findings and country classifications.

The aim of the paper is to present and explain the key factors which play an important role in project management. Project success can be defined and analyzed from the various points of view, also from the perspective of a project product. Analyzing the conditionality and key factors which are most conducive to the achievement of a successful project, the particular attention was paid to the factors appearing in surroundings and resulted from external stakeholder influence on a project, which can't be predicted and controlled. The second area of discussed issues is related with the correct project planning, which helps to coordinate action on the realization of established purposes. The conclusion can be expressed by the statement that crucial success factors should be perceived in complex approach, noticing mutual interactions and feedbacks occurring between them.

Eighty five European NUTS 2 regions of 6 European countries: Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia are considered in the paper. Attention is focused on the assessment of their competitiveness. Data were obtained from the Statistical Office of the European Communities. Four indicators of competitiveness (i.e. quality of labour forces and innovations, labour market, economic activity and infrastructure) were determined by means of the factor analysis. The factor scores of indicated factors in the regions were divided into groups by means of multivariate classification techniques (cluster analysis and classification trees). The outcome of the analysis is the classification of groups of regions with similar competitiveness factors.

Anxiety is an inevitable part of life in contemporary society. Anxiety corrupts a person's ability to think, perceive and learn. A person suffering from anxiety usually experiences difficulties in concentrating, remembering the learned material and establishing what the necessary relations among events or people are. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main anxiety items of the students of two faculties. Factor analysis was performed to form groups of unrelated items by gathering related items in the scale and to the rank factors affecting anxiety by their importance. In accordance with the data obtained from the studies on the anxiety of engineering and medical students, factor analyses gave the following results for state anxiety: in engineering students there were units accumulated in 5 factors, in medical students there were units accumulated in 4 factors, and for trait anxiety they were in 6 factors for both. Our studies show that even if the STAI results are similar, factor analyses should be carried out and the solutions should be sought in accordance with the results. During education in the universities, causes of (state - trait) anxiety should be investigated and curriculums should be changed in order to lessen anxiety, psychological and social support units should be established and students should be prepared for the future.

Social networks, in particular Facebook, are part of the lives of almost every individual, and in addition to searching for people, making friends or communicating, they also enable self-presentation (photos, statuses, videos). Part of this, especially among young people, may be the presentation of risky forms of behaviour (e.g. alcohol consumption) that may have direct (attitudes) or indirect (normative beliefs) effects on behaviour. The aim was to prepare a methodology measuring the interconnection of Facebook and alcohol for the purposes of further investigation of the issue in the context of significant socio-psychological factors. The result was 2 factors. The first factor was named as the attractiveness of the alcohol related post (motivation to use alcohol after seeing a Facebook post with alcohol) and consisted of 3 items. The alpha coefficient was 0.87. The second factor was named the incidence of alcohol related Facebook posts of friends and consists of 3 items. The alpha coefficient is 0.74.

Due to the phenomenon of the technological paradox, much research has concentrated on measuring of the impact of the information systems and the information technology (IS/IT) on performance of the companies. The methods and the focus of research gradually evolved as the economy shifted from the industrial to the post-industrial, with rapid expansion of IT. The methods are quantitative, qualitative, or combination of both. The main contribution of this paper is the specification of the methods which could be used to determine the relative importance of the selected attributes. The authors propose one of the following methods: i) multiple regression with data analysis, ii) inductive logic programming, and iii) factor analysis or principle component analysis.

The focus of this study is verification of the cross-cultural robustness of Piedmont's Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS, Piedmont, 1999) with regard to a sample of Czech students (N = 410). Means and variances of individual items as well as of the original scales (Prayer Fulfilment, Universality, and Connectedness) were found comparable, with differences well understandable in the context of general cross-cultural differences, especially of the dramatically higher explicit religiosity of the American population. Patterns of scale inter-correlations and alpha-reliabilities were also comparable. Exploratory factor analysis, using the same procedure as that of R. Piedmont, yielded factors similar to the original ones, with the reservation that two of them were less clearly differentiated from each other. This similarity could be improved by means of target rotation, especially if the principle of simple structure was given up, in favour of the fit in critical factor loadings. Confirmatory factor analysis, however, revealed only limited agreement in terms of statistical significance.
