This study briefly refers to the basic theoretical aspects of emotional intelligence and pro-social behaviour. It focuses on the description of the concept of emotional intelligence elaborate by K. V. Petrides, and on the concept of prosocial personality proposed by L. A. Penner. With particular differences, the empirical research mentioned in this study is a replication of the study carried out by Indian authors L. K. Jena, P. Bhattacharya, L. Hati, D. Ghosh and M. Panda in 2014. The aim of this study is to verify, whether there are significant positive connections and valid causal relations between trait emotional intelligence and prosocial personality and its facets. In contrast to the full versions of psychology diagnostic methods used in the original study, its short versions were applied in this study. Unlike with the group of Engineering students in Indian study, the test of 30-items Prosocial personality and the Questionnaire of 30-items Trait Emotional Intelligence for Adolescents and Adults were used with the group of Czech students of Psychology of Faculty of Arts at University of Ostrava (N = 116). The research findings suggest many similar links between the trait dimensions of emotional intelligence and the dispositional dimensions of prosocial personality in both the original and the national study. The national study has proved that not only students of Engineering tend to have higher level of prosocial personality, but also do the psychology students with higher level of trait emotional intelligence tend to have it. In addition it was found in the national study that the level of trait emotional intelligence significantly predicts both factors of prosocial personality, i. e. empathy focused on others and charity. These preliminary findings are necessary to validate by further methodical research into both representative samples of respondents and other specific samples of respondents, e.g. helping professions.

Serial killers have always been in the centre of interest for the reason why they murder umpteen victims without self-control, remorse or a sense of guilt. They stalk stealthily and have the capacity to continue their massacre for ages via diverse countries and states. In this study, I intend to widen my previous study on serial killers with more cases and more background information about the roots of their amok from both the psychological aspect and from the aspect of the damage to the frontal lobe, the role of the hypothalamus, the limbic system, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex as well as the size of the amygdala which enhance the aggressive behaviour and contribute to uncontrolled sadism. I highlight the vital impact of childhood traumas, humiliation, neglect and the principal elements of family history. I comprise some of the most notorious psychopaths and cluster the common traits of these perpetrators. The role of superiority, maintaining power, manipulation, disability in physical characteristics, profit-making, sensation-seeking, deficiencies in empathy, pathological need to control others and attention-seeking are crucial factors as well. According to psychologists, having a grandiose sense of their own self-worth, narcissistic attitude, and addictive personalities may all contribute to murders.

Liber actorum civilium of the city of Płock covering the years 1489-1517 is a valuable source of information about the social and professional structure of Płock, as well as its customs and culture at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Fortunately it survived the destruction of archival and library collections in Warsaw during World War II, and was published in 1995 by Danuta Poppe. On the pages of this liber of the city of Płock for the years 489-1517 we find representatives of 20 professions who lived and worked in Płock. As was already mentioned it is not the complete list, although it still shows the areas of the activity of the townspeople from Płock. The testaments say a lot about their financial status where sacrum, charity, care and family protection completed each other. The records in which the Płock craftsman appear on the pages of the liber actorum civilum concerned every day matters as purchase, sale, exchange, lease or donations. The fact that they enjoyed the popularity of the residents of the city shows that they were asked for arbitration of arguable matters. At the turn of 15th and 16th century the craftsmen were involved in the guilds, of which the liber mentions four: butchers, weavers, shoemakers, saddlers. The traits were concerned with the development of the craft among other trade contracts. Moreover they defended the interests of their community, they provided aid to the needy, gave opportunities for social contacts and also cared for the morality of the guild members.

Research background: The theoretical basis of the study derives from the assumptions of international entrepreneurship combining theories of entrepreneurship and theories of international business. The identification of entrepreneurship determinants and attributes was based on the economic, socio-cultural, as well as psychological approach to entrepreneurship. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to verify how demographic and basic traits of an entrepreneur affect the pace of the internationalization of firms from Poland. Methods: The study was based on CATI method. The article uses data collected on the basis of a study conducted on a sample of 355 companies from Poland. The research methods applied are a critical analysis of prior research, which allowed to identify the research gap and develop research hypotheses. In the empirical part, statistical methods were applied, including descriptive statistics and multidimensional regression. Findings & value added: The logistic regression estimation allows to confirm three hypotheses. With the age of the entrepreneur, the pace of internationalization of the firm increases. The pace of internationalization of the firm increases with the level of education of the entrepreneur. The fact that an entrepreneur belongs to a national minority increases the pace of the internationalization of the firm. Results of two-sample t-test confirm that firms whose entrepreneurs have higher entrepreneurial competences internationalize faster and earlier. The added value of the article is the combination of socio-demographic and psycho-cognitive characteristics of the entrepreneur with internationalisation. Applying this approach to a sample of firms from Poland (CEE market) contributes to research on international entrepreneurship in a thematic and geographical sense. The results of the study are of an applied nature. They can be addressed to many recipients: entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, entities responsible for shaping and promoting entrepreneurship on both the micro and macro levels.

The accountant’s role is subject to the scientific discourse as a fundamental paradigm change takes place, moving away from the traditional “bean counter” image towards a “business partner” of the management (Pickering, Byrnes, 2016; Richardson et al., 2015; Sorensen, 2009). As far back as 1981, Jacoby pointed out that the personality traits of a “bean counter” do not correspond to the requirements of the practice, e.g. strong soft skills and interdisciplinary qualities (Jacoby, 1981; Briggs et al., 2007). It can be observed that for decades, predominantly the “bean counter” type has continued to opt for a career in accounting (Briggs et al., 2007). The present study confirms the dominance of “bean counter” types in accountancy by applying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) with undergraduate business students and shows that there is still no significant change observable. The analysis shows that business students are significantly more frequently extroverted, thinking, and judging than the overall population. The accounting students among them are more sensing and thinking. Specific differences can be observed between the individual majors. As a result, the talent pool for the accounting profession is more likely to have “bean counters” than “business partners”.

Rola księgowego podlega dyskursowi naukowemu jako fundamentalna zmiana paradygmatu, która odchodzi od tradycyjnego wizerunku „liczykrupyˮ w kierunku „partnera biznesowegoˮ kierownictwa (Pickering, Byrnes, 2016; Richardson et al., 2015; Sorensen, 2009). Już w 1981 roku Jacoby wskazał, że cechy osobowości „liczykrupyˮ nie odpowiadają wymogom praktyki, np. silne umiejętności miękkie i cechy interdyscyplinarne (Jacoby, 1981; Briggs i in., 2007). Można zaobserwować, że przez dziesięciolecia głównie typ „liczykrupyˮ decydował się na karierę w księgowości (Briggs et al., 2007). Przeprowadzone badanie potwierdza dominację typów „liczykrupyˮ w księgowości w wyniku zastosowania wskaźnika typu Myers-Briggs (MBTI) w kontekście studentów biznesowych studiów licencjackich i pokazuje, że nadal nie zaobserwowano istotnej zmiany. Z analizy wynika, że studenci biznesowi są znacznie częściej ekstrawertyczni, rozumni i oceniający niż cała populacja. Studenci rachunkowości są szczególnie wrażliwi i myślący. Konkretne różnice można zaobserwować między poszczególnymi kierunkami studiów. W rezultacie pula talentów w zawodzie księgowego jest bardziej prawdopodobna w przypadku „liczykrupyˮ niż w przypadku „partnerów biznesowychˮ.
