Artykuł ten dotyczy etyki pracy w zawodzie nauczyciela akademickiego. Swoje rozważania prowadzę w oparciu o dwie główne teorie: protestanckiej etyki pracy Maxa Webera oraz jej adaptacji do środowiska akademickiego Roberta Mertona. Omawiam je w polskim kontekście kształtowania się etosu akademickiego, przywołując prace Dietricha Bonhoeff era oraz wartości fundamentalne dla protestanckiego etosu pracy czyli uczciwości, rzetelności i pracowitości w ich religij nym oraz pozareligij nym wymiarze. Na tym tle podejmę próbę przeglądu obszarów zagrożeń i wypaczeń w szeregach polskiej kadry akademickiej wskazując kategorię odpowiedzialności jako kluczową w budowaniu etosu akademickiego.

In this article I focus on professional work ethics for academic teachers. My considerations are based on the analysis of two main theories: the Protestant work ethics, by Max Weber, and its adaptation to the academic environment, by Robert Merton. I evaluate how these theories can contribute to shaping the academic ethos in the Polish context, drawing upon Dietrich Bonhoeff er’s works and the fundamental values of the Protestant work ethos - honesty, reliability and diligence - presenting their religious and secular aspects. Against the above background I attempt a review of ethical risks and violations among Polish academics, pointing to the category of responsibility as crucial in the process of building an academic ethos.
Academic ethics has recently become an important issue in Poland. With changes in the Polish law on higher education a new approach to ethics of students and academics has been presented. As a PhD student and young researcher, I am personally interested in the introduced changes. This article seeks to examine professional academic ethics in terms of two chosen theories, that is, the Protestant work ethic of Max Weber and its adaptation to the academic environment by Robert K. Merton. I situate both theories in the Polish context of shaping the academic ethos. In my deliberations I recall Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s works as fundamental for the Protestant work ethos values, which are honesty, reliability and diligence. Additionally I present their religious as well as non religious aspects. With such theoretical foundations, I attempt to evaluate the risks and violations in the ranks of Polish academics. The theoretical basis and the collected data enable me to put forward the claim that it is not feasible in Poland to follow the Western model of work ethics. Instead, it has to be built from scratch. To start this process, we need to consider the value of responsibility as a crucial category not only for the process of academic ethos formation, but also for everyday life from the early years.
Prosumers are the part of new type of society that is being gradually created together with the process of energy transition into environmentally friendly model of energy system based on renewables. Prosumers are active market participants, which benefit from the energy transition. These informed consumers can, through their choices, drive development of green energy and support environment protection. Their active role in energy system entails certain challenges related to the economic and technical issues. Therefore, there is need to implement appropriate legal basis to regulate involvement of consumers on the market as well as to develop new technologies and infrastructure in order to enable them an access to the system. These actions collectively aim to strengthen national economy and ensure security of energy supply.
