The objective of this article is to show that project management practices present key success factors for implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) in Moroccan companies. In general, the organizations seem to look at the implementation of a quality management system as a project and they employ standard project management tools, albeit to a different extent and in different ways. Following a qualitative study in Morocco, the companies, whatever their sector of activity and size, use different practices in the framework of the project QMS. Information was collected from practicing managers. The data analysis shows that project management practices present a great opportunity for the successful implementation of QMS within Moroccan companies.

One critical problem most educators have possibly experienced is that some students drop out of school probably due to loss of enough motivation. Research indicates student engagement could not only increase motivation but help to sustain it at high levels. This relationship between these two constructs has already been researched quantitatively in language education. However, little research seems to have been done on exploring the ways of increasing student engagement and motivation in relation to each other using a qualitative design. The present study thus aimed at investigating the ways to improve student engagement as well as motivation with a qualitative design. The participants were 30 male, intermediate EFL learners of the Iran Language Institute (ILI) in Gorgan, Iran. These participants, selected through convenience sampling, attended the semi-structured interview sessions voluntarily. The findings of the study led to a model of determinants of student engagement and language learning motivation. These determinants include teacher behavior, teacher personality, and student behavior for student engagement, and teacher, self, and parents for language learning motivation. It is expected the outcomes will be to the benefit of language teachers, language learners, and materials developers.

The aim of the article is to contribute to the existing literature on continuing bonds with a deceased relative by exploration of discursive dimensions of the bonds through which the survivors construct their relationship with the person who died. The data come from five interviews with family members who survived the suicidal death of their relative. We argue that a focus upon the form and content of the survivors’ stories offers a complicated and heterogeneous picture of ‘bonding actions’. And so, assuming a constructionist view of discourse, we show two kinds of bonds. First, it is a bond related to social expectations of bereaved families. Second, it is a personal bond, part of which is a bond with a reverse direction, established and maintained by the deceased person.

The article aims at presenting a longitudinal two-year study on the per-ception of language learning from the perspective of five adult learners in their late 50s who are teacher consultants by profession and participants of an elementary course in English. The attention is focused on two as-pects: 1) what general expectations they have with regard to the course (ie. language skills, knowledge, teacher, etc.) at the beginning of their learning process, 2) what they achieve or fail to achieve after two years of attending the course. The conclusions may provide some implications for language teachers of mature learners as well as future directions for re-searchers of this topic.

This qualitative research study takes a closer look at developing competent researchers and thus buildingresearch capacity within Europe. The rapidly changing research environment driven by globalisation,internationalization, technological advancements, and the use of innovative methodologiesimpacts how research is designed, conducted, and reported on. We argue that the current complexresearch environment calls for globally competent researchers able to engage in research projects andresearch communities across disciplines and across geographic borders. However, there is scarceempirical evidence about research knowledge and competencies which global researchers need toconduct quality research. Relevant literature is also almost silent on what kind of educational opportunitieswithin higher education institutions allow graduate students to acquire these competencies.To address the existing gap in the literature, this article brings perspectives of twenty-three novice andexperienced scholars from ten European countries. The findings showcase a spectrum of competenciesrequired by globally competent researchers as well as opportunities and challenges associated withthe acquisition of these competencies. According to the respondents, efforts need to be maximized tobuild research capacity via emerging talents. This implies paying close attention to the research learningspaces, practices, and polices where future globally competent researchers can be nurtured andshaped. Considering the small sample size of participants, the findings are not meant to be conclusivebut rather informative in nature for those involved in research.

This qualitative study of the soils of the Zaër region is part of a context of good development, preservation and sustainability of agricultural soils. Its aim is to establish a reference framework for the physico-chemical characteristics of the region’s agricultural soils. It was based on a spring sampling campaign carried out in 2021. Composite samples taken from thirteen sites with diverse soils were analysed in the laboratory. The soil analysis results were compared with reference values. The soils examined were moderately acidic to moderately alkaline, with low levels of organic matter. Nevertheless, concentrations of exchangeable calcium and magnesium were found to be sufficient, while sodium levels were very low. Furthermore, cation exchange capacity was low in spring, reflecting the soil’s high and low nutrient retention capacity respectively. Phosphorus and potassium levels appear to be low. In the light of these results, the use of organic and mineral fertilisers and calcium amendments is strongly recommended to improve agricultural quality and productivity in the region studied.

Do apartment owners in Bulgaria and Latvia carry out energy-saving practices in their homes, and what are the justifications thereof? Do they relate these practices to climate change or to their environmental knowledge? These are the main questions investigated in this research. Data are drawn from a qualitative survey of dwellers’ renovation activities and the motivations thereof. Results indicate that the poor conditions of multi-apartment buildings and the feeling of being cold or uncomfortable are sufficient levers driving energy-related renovations in privately-owned apartments. Environmental concern is never expressed as a lever for undertaking renovation, either in Bulgaria or in Latvia and there exist some scepticism and misunderstanding concerning climate change.

Nowadays, the competitive, fast-moving business environment has permanently transformed the supply chain and the management of its functions. Convinced of new opportunities offered by the global economy, Morocco has opted for a new industrial strategy based on Supply chain management practices aimed at improving the performance and making the country an attractive space for global value chains. The main aims of this paper are to evaluate the literature on the different definitions, approaches, trends and practices of the supply chain man-agement, and presents results of a semi-directive qualitative study conducted in Morocco in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the supply chain management practices implemented in the Moroccan context. The results indicate that the practices of companies based in Morocco are highly linked to the management of the supplier and customer relationship and internal integration among the internal functions of the firms.

Society is continuously impacted by accelerating technical and social changes that challenge individuals, organizations, and societies. This appears to lead to the emergence of negative organizational behavior patterns that impose high levels of demands on employees. Firstly, the purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine how three organizational challenges-organizational anorexia, organizational greed, and organizational narcissism-are expressed in the Swedish public sector. Secondly, the Swedish Armed Forces and the field of elderly care are compared to discover additional organizational challenges by carrying out comparisons. The sample of organizations used is described in the Methods section. The study’s main findings show that these three organizational challenges have been experienced in different ways in these organizations. A new organizational challenge has appeared, organizational temporality, describing participants’ perceptions of time when carrying out their assigned tasks.

Zjawisko dobrowolnej bezdzietności staje się coraz bardziej widoczne we współczesnym świecie, przyczyniając się do problemu starzenia się społeczeństw. W literaturze wskazano wiele motywów dobrowolnej bezdzietności. Celem badania była identyfikacja motywów dobrowolnej bezdzietności wśród polskich kobiet na podstawie analizy komentarzy zamieszczanych w Internecie. Analiza wskazała na funkcjonowanie dziewięciu motywów, które stanowią: pragnienie wolności, potrzeba spokoju i samotności, niechęć do poświęceń/wzięcia na siebie dodatkowej odpowiedzialności, nielubienie dzieci, lęk przed ciążą i porodem, lęk przed potencjalną chorobą dziecka, motywy środowiskowe, brak instynktu macierzyńskiego oraz złe doświadczenia z dzieciństwa. Motywy te mogą być sklasyfikowane w trzech kategoriach.

The phenomenon of voluntary childlessness is increasingly apparent in the modern world contributing to the problem of an ageing society. There are numerous motives of voluntary childlessness indicated in the literature that are especially related to the decisions of women. The aim of this study was the identification of the motives for voluntary childlessness among Polish women using internet debate analysis. The analysis indicated nine motives: desire for freedom, the need for peace and solitude, reluctance to make sacrifices/to take additional responsibilities, dislike of children, fear of pregnancy and childbirth, fear of potential disease of a child, environmental motives, the lack of maternal instinct and bad childhood experiences that can be classified in three categories.

The objective was to identify the main factors influencing micronutrient policies in the opinion of policy actors in ten European countries. Study was carried out during Jan-Nov 2010 in European countries: the Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Spain. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with representatives of stakeholders involved in the vitamin D, folate and iodine policy making process. Fifty eight key informants representing mainly scientific advisory bodies (n=24) and governmental organisations (n=19) participated in the study. The remaining interviewees represented non-governmental organisations (n=6), industry (n=4) or were independent academic or health professional experts (n=5). Data were analysed by theoretical interpretative thematic analysis. Insights from interviewees on the development of micronutrient policies were grouped using the Public Health Nutrition Policy-making model. The main factors influencing the micronutrient policies were: systematic monitoring of nutrition and health, causal relationships between consumers' diet-related behaviours and health outcomes, scientific recommendations from national bodies (Science area); scientific recommendations from international authorities and experiences of other countries, EU legislation, cultural factors (Wider context) and political environment, national capacity to deal with the problem, national legislation, economics, stakeholder engagement, relationships between stakeholders (Policy and institutions area). The spectrum and weight of the factors influencing nutritional policy depends on nutrient, country and degree of its "advanced status" within nutrition policy, political environment, culture and socio-economic conditions as well as the point of view (who is expressing the opinion).

The subject of this article is the efficiency of popular justice as the informal mechanism of public safety production on the example of Polish users of facebook.com. The investigation was based on the empirical data collected from Polish public discussion groups on the facebook website. The qualitative analysis of digital data allowed a presentation of what forms popular justice takes today and what kind of reconceptualisation it undergoes in comparison to its previous forms. The theory that backed up the study was the concept of informal institutions which allowed the most important characteristics and their changes to be demonstrated. The results show that popular justice is an ineffective mechanism of public safety production because of its selectivity and the high level of emotions related to judging people, which makes a just judgment impossible.

Wiarygodność opinii publikowanych w Internecie zależy od wielu czynników, z których najistotniejsze to wiarygodność serwisu, na którym te opinie się znajdują (np. strona internetowa, czat, forum), oraz wiarygodność autora (nadawcy wiadomości). W zależności od tego, kto wyda opinię, gdzie się ta opinia znajduje i czego dotyczy, wiarygodność źródła informacji może być różnie postrzegana. Głównym celem artykułu jest identyfikacja osobistych źródeł informacji (nadawców wiadomości), które są traktowane przez konsumentów jako wiarygodni dostawcy opinii. Dodatkowym celem jest zbadanie, w jaki sposób klienci (jeśli w ogóle) weryfikują wiadomość i jej nadawcę oraz na co zwracają uwagę. Aby osiągnąć założone cele badawcze, przeprowadzono badania eksploracyjne w postaci 10 pogłębionych wywiadów indywidualnych. Uczestnicy zostali dobrani celowo z panelu internautów dostarczonego przez Mobile Institute (agencję badawczą) i pod kontrolą takich zmiennych, jak: płeć, wiek, miejsce zamieszkania i aktywność zakupowa w Internecie. Rezultatem badań jest opracowanie katalogu wiarygodnych osobistych źródeł informacji, a także narzędzia badawczego do badań o charakterze eksplanacyjnym.

Credibility of opinions published online depends on credibility of the site where these opinions can be found (e.g. webpage, chat, and forum) as well as the author (sender of message). Depending on who gives opinion, where it's placed and what it concerns, they can be perceived as more or less credible source of information. The main purpose of this article is to identify personal sources of information (eWOM senders) that are treated by consumers as credible opinion providers. The additional purpose is to examine both how customers (if at all) verify message and eWOM sender, and what they pay attention at. In order to achieve the assumed research objectives, 10 IDI's were conducted. Participants were purposively sampled from the panel of Internet users delivered by Mobile Institute (research agency) and with control of such variables as: gender, age, place of residence and purchasing activity in the Internet. It was found that perhaps it would be worth introducing the category of befriended expert to ewom's credibility studies.

When there is the need for support, the childless elderly find themselves in a difficult position. In Poland, care for the elderly is mostly provided by adult offspring. The article’s aim is to provide the results of analysis into the support received by childless older people, their experience in this field, as well as opinions on how to benefit from different forms of formal and informal care. Data from a qualitative survey carried out among such persons in Poland were used for this purpose. The results of the analyses show that in the event of temporary health deterioration, seniors without children can count on members of their social networks (neighbours, friends, distant relatives). On the other hand, in the case of serious illness or any lack of self-reliance, institutional support appears to be the only – although not desirable – solution for such people.

Bezdzietne osoby starsze znajdują się w trudnej sytuacji, gdy potrzebują wsparcia. W Polsce opiekę seniorom zapewniają bowiem głównie dorosłe dzieci. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników analiz otrzymywania wsparcia przez bezdzietne osoby starsze, ich doświadczeń w tym zakresie, a także opinii na temat możliwości skorzystania z różnych form opieki formalnej i nieformalnej. W tym celu wykorzystano dane pochodzące z badania jakościowego przeprowadzonego wśród takich osób w Polsce. Wyniki analiz pokazują, że w sytuacji chwilowego pogorszenia się stanu zdrowia seniorzy bez potomstwa mogą liczyć na osoby z ich sieci społecznych (sąsiadów, przyjaciół, dalszych krewnych). Natomiast w razie poważnej choroby czy niesamodzielności wsparcie instytucjonalne wydaje się jedynym – chociaż wcale nie pożądanym – rozwiązaniem dla tych osób.

Rodzina jest źródłem zaufania, lojalności i poczucia przynależności w oparciu o relacje, które są również podstawą biznesu. Z tego względu, wspólne prowadzenie firmy przez rodzinę wydaje się logiczne. Niemniej jednak, podwójna rola odgrywana przez członków rodziny może utrudniać funkcjonowanie firmy. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu interpretację rozumienia zjawiska efektywnej kultury organizacyjnej firm rodzinnych przez przyszłych sukcesorów. W badaniu wzięło udział 32 sukcesorów. Interpretacyjnej analizie fenomenologicznej (IPA) poddano częściowo ustrukturowane wywiady pogłębione. Wyniki przedstawiają następujące kategorie: zaufanie, poczucie „my”, przedsiębiorcze wychowanie oraz bezpośredniość w komunikacji, składające się na autorski model objaśniający złożoną kulturę organizacyjną firm rodzinnych. Przedstawiono kierunki przyszłych badań ilościowych oraz wartość aplikacyjną w obszarze przedsiębiorstw rodzinnych.

Family is the source of trust, loyalty and sense of belonging based on relations which are also the core of business. While running a business by family seems a logical thing to do, a double role played by family members may impede company’s functioning. The present paper aims at exploring the meaning making of the employees who are future successors with regards to organizational culture characteristics associated with effective business performance of family firms. 32 future successors took part in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The findings comprised following categories: trust, sense of “we,” entrepreneurial upbringing, and immediacy in communication which may comprise a model explicating complex organizational culture of family businesses. The results provided extensive future research directions into the field of family business.

W artykule przedstawiono wybrane wnioski z badania dotyczącego szkolnych doświadczeń gejów i lesbijek zmieszczone w publikacji pt. Przecież jesteśmy! Homofobiczna przemoc w polskich szkołach – narracje gejów i lesbijek. Dane zgromadzono za pomocą wywiadów pogłębionych, opracowanych i przeanalizowanych z użyciem jakościowej metodologii badawczej, w tym analizy tematycznej treści. W tekście zwraca się uwagę na kulturowe źródła przemocy homofobicznej oraz przejawy jej występowania w odniesieniu do szkolnych przestrzeni, sprawców i sprawczyń, podkreślając wszechobecność oraz różnorodność form tego rodzaju przemocy. Naszkicowano również sylwetki osób doznających przemocy, wskazując, że nawet niewielkie odstępstwa od przyjętych w danej społeczności norm kobiecości czy męskości stają się bodźcem aktywującym zachowania przemocowe.

The article presents selected parts of the research on the school experiences of gays and lesbians, included in the publication entitled “We are here! Homophobic violence in Polish schools – gay and lesbian narratives”. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, developed and analyzed using qualitative research methodology with thematic content analysis. The text draws attention to the cultural sources of homophobic violence and the manifestations of its occurrence in relation to school spaces and perpetrators, highlighting pervasiveness and variety of forms of this type of violence. The authors also outline the profiles of people experiencing violence, pointing out that even slight deviations from the norms of femininity or masculinity adopted in a given community, become a stimulus that activates violent behaviour.

The present qualitative and quantitative study on macrozoobenthos was conducted in 1998 in the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea adjacent to the Słowinski National Park (SNP). The macrozoobenthos of this zone exhibited quantitative scarcity (12 species) and low content of the wet mass. More frequent were only Oligochaeta, Pygospio elegans, and Batyporeia pilosa. Because of a better specific diversity, density, and wet mass of the macrozoobenthos in the zone outside 1 nautical mile limit, the author suggests widening the proposed marine protected zone of the SNP giving it the status of marine Landscape Park up to 3 nautical miles.

W artykule podjęto próbę zrekonstruowania procesualnego wymiaru nadawania przez kobiety wspólnie wychowujące dziecko poczęte w rodzinie jednopłciowej znaczeń nowym wzorom funkcjonowania w społeczeństwie heternormatywnym, które wyznaczają szerszy kontekst antycypowania oraz doświadczania przez nie rodzicielstwa. W tekście oddałam głos badanym – matkom biologicznym i niebiologicznym – by to właśnie z ich perspektywy przyjrzeć się, jak działając w kontekście zinternalizowanej heteronormatywności, radzą sobie w sytuacji konfrontacji z różnymi ograniczeniami, negocjując sens własnych działań oraz poczucie „normalności” i adekwatności społecznej. Przedstawione bariery (jednostkowe, instytucjonalne, prawne czy społeczno-kulturowe), jakich doświadczają rodzice tej samej płci, są przez badanych rozpatrywane na płaszczyźnie symbolicznej jako element nierównego traktowania, który wpisuje ich w kategorię „dewiantów”, nie pozostając bez wpływu na postrzeganie siebie w szerszym kontekście społecznym. Nakreślone powyżej problemy wpisują się w szerszy projekt badawczy, poświęcony problematyce doświadczania rodzicielstwa przez osoby LGBT w Polsce, który realizowany jest w tradycji badań jakościowych z wykorzystaniem techniki pogłębionego wywiadu swobodnego.

This article is an attempt to reconstruct the process of ascribing meanings to new ways of functioning within the heteronormative society, meanings which determine the broader context of anticipating and experiencing parenthood, from the perspective of women whose child has been conceived within the frame of same-sex family. Drawing on in-depth interview data, it is intended to shed light on how these women - biological and non-biological mothers - push the negative barriers and choose to become parents. The barriers at hand (individual, institutional, legal, socio-cultural) are seen by the women under study in terms of symbolic unequal treatment what impacts upon the way they negotiate their sense of “normality” and social adequateness while functioning within the context of internalized heteronormativity. A major objective of this contribution is to elucidate how the internalized heteronormativity impact upon the everyday life of lesbian-mother families destabilizing their sense of social adequateness, on the one hand, and empowering them to push the boundaries of social acceptance, on the other. The above issues are part of a broader research project focused on the analysis of parenting experiences of LGBT community in Poland.
