The organizational culture is one of key factors which can influence the organizational success in building the long-lasting domination of an enterprise. The article is an attempt to introduce and at the same time to present the understanding of the culture in terms of expected bearings which can explain why organizational individuals (or entire organizations) promote only the behaviors which are in accordance with the value and the mission of the enterprises. The author draws attention to the level of expectations and behavior, which is usually the result of team work. A lot of attention has also been paid to the phenomenon of crossing of two relations: organizational culture with the function of leadership. The author has also discussed the role of a manager as a means of shaping and supporting an organization culture in conditions of increasing competition.

Demarketing of tobacco products includes methods aimed at changing the consumer behavior and the marketing environment. The main strategies consist of price manipulation, anti-smoking advertising, regulations restricting or banning tobacco advertising, limitations of distribution or consumption of tobacco products, and warning messages on packages and advertisements. These measures influence either directly or indirectly the following psychosocial and environmental variables: health beliefs, social attractiveness of smoking, accessibility of tobacco products and associated behaviors. The article presents a review of international research on the demarketing of tobacco and its effects for the formation and change of health behavior.

The paper presents findings obtained by the use of the SIPS questionnaire (Solution of interpersonal problem-oriented situations). Methodologically, the SIPS questionnaire starts from the situational approach and from assessing the behavior. The presented analysis of the data obtained focuses on characterizing preliminary, but essential psychometric parameters of the SIPS. The research was executed on the sample of 150 respondents (54 men and 96 women), mean age 20.9 years. The factor analysis of the results enabled us to revise the original four-factor concept and confirmed the existence of the internal structure of the described forms of behavior, within the framework of which we may define two factors: socially negative solution and socially positive solution. The psychometric indicators of the SIPS, as well as the results of the validation study support the fact that we may consider it a suitable point of departure for constructing the diagnostic tool for measuring social intelligence.

The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that contribute to the successful funding of crowdfunding projects, with a focus on conventional, social media and affective factors. Our unique dataset contains 267,830 Kickstarter projects from the U.S., Australia, Canada, the U.K., and Europe. In addition to determinants based on conventional factors, we study the textual characteristics of a project’s description and comments, including sentiment and emotional cues, extracted using a web scraper. We find that social media factors (such as social networks, comments on projects, the experience and social media capital of the project founder) as well as affective factors (emotional cues and sentiment related to project description) influence the success of projects in addition to the conventional determinants such as the funding goal, funding project duration, and project category. Our results are stable when we control for partial time periods, the geographic origin of the founder, and the founder’s social media capital and experience.

In the course of author's research on the experience of political transformation, the citizens of post-soviet Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine often underlined that: People have changed. Some of them have asked: What has happened to the people? and perceived these changes as a negative phenomenon. Contemporary changes were compared with the interwar decades (the oldest interviewees) or the soviet period. Informants usually pointed the breakup of the family bonds, the rise of the conflicts between humans, omnipresent aggression, boorishness, selfishness, brutality of life, crime and the chase for money. The phenomena such as the overwhelming rivalry, envy, social callousness, the lack of disinterestedness and justice as well as the loneliness were stigmatized by interviewees. Contemporary times were often described as bad, cold, inhuman, deprived of love and sympathy. Quite often people didn't hope for better tomorrow. These critical judgments have been related to the political transformation and capitalism - often described as the wild, rapacious or black. People blamed the mass media for popularization of negative patterns of behavior. Many interviewees explained contemporary changes in the means of secularization, the lack of moral authorities and the upbringing based on religious values. The author underlines that phenomena pointed by her informants are well known in Western Europe. She is curious whether they will increase or is there a more optimistic solution possible.

The aim of the study is to clarify the mutual relationships between personal need for structure, counterfactual thinking and decision making styles. The research sample comprised 76 university students. The following scales were administered: Personal Need for Structure (PNS), Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ), Decision Making Style Questionnaire (DMSQ) and Counterfactual Thinking Questionnaire (CT). Results revealed that personal need for structure and its sub-factors do not affect an individual’s behaviour in the decision making process, but they do affect the decision making style when it comes to the desire for structure or the response to the lack thereof. A strong desire for structure is more related to a more frequent use of rational and dependent decision making style, while a weak response to the lack of structure is related to a more frequent use of the intuitive decision making style and less frequent avoidance decision making style. Additionally, the results show that counterfactual thinking characteristics are related mainly to maladaptive styles of decision making behaviour.
