Theoretical background: The deteriorating condition of the natural environment, as a result of human activity, is one of the global problems that contemporary business entities must face. Companies in their attempts to comply with principles of environmental protection undertake activities aimed at better utilization of resources, production materials or improved efficiency. Such endeavours include the elimination of pollution, recycling of materials, reduction of waste generated, reduction of fuels and energy consumption, and limiting water usage. This contributes to improving corporate economic performance, thus, making production more efficient, more economical and safer.Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to identify the company’s behavior with regard to environmental protection issues. The study tests the research hypothesis that the companies’ characteristics (i.e. company size, type of activity – production/non production, the scale of activity – local and regional, national, international) are factors that significantly differentiate the involvement of companies in activities for the environmental protection.Research methods: The empirical analysis is based on primary data from 68 companies. It was carried out using the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-square independence test, and the correspondence analysis. The strength of the examined relationships was expressed by the V-Cramer coefficient.Main findings: The research showed that the level of implementation of environmental initiatives depended on both the type of business activity and the size of the company. In the opinion of the surveyed entities, the implementation of pro-environmental activities aims at improving the company’s image and, to a lesser extent, at obtaining specific economic benefits. Large companies were often involved in the implementation of pro-environmental activities more than small and medium-sized entities. Production entities were more involved in it, compared to non-production companies.

The article presents research results conducted by means of questionnaire among quota-random sample of the workers in the age 55–59/64 of the Podkarpackie province. The qualification of factors determining the level of application informative technologies (ICT) was the aim of the research: Internet application, computer and mobile phone application the by working persons in the age 55–59/64 years. These variables were used in order to characterize the information competence of respondents dependent on their social and economic conditions. To analyse the empirical data the test of independence was used. Moreover the strength of stochastic essential dependences was measured by the usage of the coefficient of the V-Cramer coefficient of convergence. The precision pointed out dependences was executed through the analysis of the correspondence. The achieved research results were presented on the background of the new paradigm in management science directed in the application of the older workers’ competences.

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań przeprowadzonych drogą ankietową na losowo-kwotowej próbie osób w wieku przedemerytalnym (kobiety – 50–59 lat, mężczyźni –50–64 lata) pracujących w podmiotach gospodarczych prowadzących działalność w sektorze przemysłowym lub usługowym na terenie województwa podkarpackiego. Celem badania było określenie czynników determinujących poziom kompetencji informacyjnych (informatycznych i teleinformatycznych) oraz wskazanie ich roli w paradygmacie zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. Uzyskane rezultaty przedstawiono na tle koncepcji zarządzania wiekiem. Analizę przeprowadzono w oparciu o zmienne charakteryzujące: wykorzystanie Internetu, użytkowanie telefonu komórkowego i poziom umiejętności obsługi komputera. Zmienne te posłużyły do charakterystyki kompetencji informacyjnych w zależności od cech społeczno-ekonomicznych respondentów. Do analizy danych empirycznych wykorzystano test niezależności χ2, współczynnik zbieżności V-Cramera oraz analizę korespondencji.

This article presents research results on attitudes of students’ towards the use of ICT in the education process. The analyses were conducted against the backdrop of the students’ subjective assessment of their general computer aptitude as well as their access to and use of ICT. The results prove that students’ opinions on the wider use of ICT in the learning process was influenced by a subjective assessment of their general computer skills which was determined e.g. by their specialization as well as demographic characteristics. Access to a computer/Internet influenced their familiarity with some applications and online activities. The results confirm that students with a higher appraisal of their competence were more positively inclined towards a wider use of ICT than those with lower levels of competence.

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań empirycznych przeprowadzonych na próbie 420 studentów Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego w roku akademickim 2011/2012. Celem badania było rozpoznanie postaw studentów wobec wprowadzenia nauczania z wykorzystaniem technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych, tj. e learningu czy blended learningu. Ponieważ jednym z warunków nauczania wspomaganego Internetem/komputerem jest odpowiedni poziom umiejętności komputerowych uczestników procesu nauczania, dlatego ocenie poddano subiektywnie odczuwany poziom kompe-tencji komputerowych respondentów. Przy pomocy wybranych metod statystycznych dokonano weryfikacji hipotez dotyczących istnienia zależności pomiędzy poziomem kompetencji studentów a wybranymi zmiennymi społeczno-demograficznymi respondentów. Ocenie poddano również umiejętność posługiwania się wybranymi programami w zależności od dostępności Interne-tu/komputera.

This paper presents the results of empirical studies carried out on a sample of 420 students at the University of Rzeszow during the academic year 2011/2012. The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of students towards the introduction of teaching and learning through the use of information and communication technologies, i.e. through e learning and blended learning. Since one of the pre-requisites for ICT-assisted teaching/computer-assisted learning is, an appropriate level of computer skills of the learners, therefore the participants were evaluated as to their subjectively perceived level of computer competence. Using selected statistical methods testing was carried out on hypotheses about the existence of relationships between the level of competence and selected socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. Evaluations were conducted into the ability of respondents to use selected programs/complete tasks in the light of the availability of the Internet/computer.

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań empirycznych w zakresie analizy liczby zielonych miejsc pracy w krajach Unii Europejskiej w zależności od wybranych wskaźników charakteryzujących kraje członkowskie. Do analizy wykorzystano model regresji liniowej. Za zmienną zależną przyjęto względną liczbę miejsc pracy w sektorze energetyki odnawialnej w 2012 r., tj. liczbę stanowisk w przeliczeniu na mln mieszkańców krajów. Zmienną objaśniającą w skonstruowanym modelu stanowił udział nakładów na B+R w PKB [%]. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że zwiększanie roli badań i rozwoju ma mierzalny wpływ na zmiany w zakresie dostępności zielonych miejsc pracy w krajach UE. Wyniki badań przedstawiono na tle założeń strategii „Europa 2020”.

The article presents research results on the analysis of green jobs in the European Union countries with respect to selected indicators characterizing the member states. For the empirical analysis a regression model was applied. As a dependent variable a number of jobs in the renewable energy sector in 2012 per million inhabitants of the countries was used. In the linear regression model the explanatory variable was a share of expenditure on R&D in GDP [%]. Studies show that the increase in research and development expenditures have a real, measurable impact on the availability of green jobs in the EU countries. Research results were presented on the background of the strategy “Europe 2020”.
