Goal attainment is a complex process shaped by numerous decisions individuals make on their way to successfully reaching the desired objective. While there is no doubt about the impact decision-making and goal-attainment have on each other, a unified approach exploring how these processes work together is lacking. Nonetheless, the existing literature has suggested various possible ways of connecting them, such as through self-regulation. Self-regulation plays a pivotal role in individual´s efforts in reaching a goal, especially in the case of distractions and obstacles which threaten the success of this process. The literature is not short of various approaches to different self-regulatory strategies, making it harder to integrate them in a way that would be helpful to the research in other areas. Some authors (Higgins et al., 2020) have pointed out a possible connection between the regulatory focus and a certain type of thinking that can be characteristic for specific decision-making styles. The existing literature provides the basis for connecting decision-making and goal-attainment in a way that might be beneficial for further research. The goal of this paper was to explore the importance of focusing on self-regulation and specific self-regulatory strategies as a link between these processes, and to outline the possible applications in psychological research and practice.

Employment plays a crucial role in the integration of individuals who have fled the war in Ukraine. From both a financial and psychological standpoint, the opportunity to work is essential in preventing dependence on welfare and fostering a sense of self-realization. Following the conflict in Ukraine, over a million people have crossed the border, with many heading to the region around the capital Bratislava. A large number have also chosen to stay closer to the border, making their way to the second largest city in Slovakia, Košice. The aim of this research was to use qualitative methods to explore the needs and barriers in the labour market of those who came to Košice after the outbreak of war (involuntary migrants) and those who have been working in Košice for a longer period (voluntary migrants). Language and age barriers, limited job opportunities, discrimination and health difficulties emerged as key themes from the discussions with the involuntary migrants. In general, language proficiency posed a significant challenge, hindering stable employment for the participants. Discrimination and hatred were also reported, along with experiences of exploitation and dismissal. Discussions with the voluntary migrants revealed intense labour market competition, bureaucratic hurdles, discrimination and a lack of information as being the key areas of concern. The arrival of Ukrainian migrants has shed light on pre-existing employment challenges in Košice which not only affect migrants but the local population as well.
