One of the most important factors determining the efficiency of employees is undoubtedly motivation which makes them pursue the goals corresponding with the company's goals, gain satisfaction of the work done and at the same time satisfy their own needs. A manager of a team plays a key role in motivating employees. The research shows that the lack of motivation systems (other than remuneration) in public sector companies contributes to inappropriate functioning of motivation system in general. The lack of knowledge and in making a proper use of non-remuneration motivation systems results in the fact that management do not appreciate benefits which these systems carry. We can assume that the introduction and improvement of the five-stage plan of non-remuneration motivation system is possible with the appropriate training of management who are demonstrated the expected benefits of non-remuneration motivation.

This article examines the impact of selected factors of public contracts on the efficiency of public procurement with an emphasis on decentralization. We analysed the influence of these factors using an econometric model applied to data on public procurement, specifically on pubic construction contracts for 2013 – 2014. To achieve a higher degree of assurance we have verified these results by analysing public contracts for the purchase of gas for the years 2013 – 2014. In the context of the available data, this public contract procedure has a relatively homogeneous subject of performance. The research conclusions which have been reached are significant, partly for the considerations regarding the centralization vs. decentralization of purchases, but they also represent a valuable contribution to the empirical investigation of the decentralized production of public goods and services.

Based on field research relating to adjustment of the Polish enterprises to the integrated European Union market the paper is dedicated to public aid impact and efficiency on the level of enterprises in the period 2004-2006. Analysis related to purposes of applying for aid, impact of public aid, assessment of the procedure and criteria of public aid allocation, reasons of not applying for public aid, instruments of public aid, effectiveness of impact exerted by public aid instruments and assessment of effectiveness of public aid for companies in the period of 2003-2006. Conducted analyses show directions in the allocation of structural funds point to quality-based competitive factors. Majority of observed companies have recorded public aid as improving competitiveness and innovations. They have noted increase in investments, R&D expenditures, and expenses relating to enhancement of employee qualifications. Subsidies and allowances were the dominant form of public aid that enterprises used in the years 2003-2006. At present, interests are growing in other forms of public aid, in particular loan guarantees and sureties and also capital and investment subsidies. In the group of companies that generate more income tax than aid received in the period of 2004-2005 important role are playing small and medium firms (75%) which increased income (64%), fixed assets (100%), employment level (77%), investment into R&D (29%). It shows that there is possibility to measure micro efficiency of public aid granted to enterprises and it could be the base for development of institutional solutions for better public aid allocation.

Fairness like other social norms is usually stabilized by punishing norm deviations. Reward uncertainty, however, questions that norm deviations are detected and thus punished. By investing in information acquisition a responder in an ultimatum experiment determines endogenously whether unfair offers are detected and sanctionable. In our experiment a proposer and a responder can share 12 black and 12 white chips where the monetary value of a white chip for the proposer can be rather high ('high payoff mode') or low ('low payoff mode'). The responder can buy information about the proposer's reward type what results in commonly known monetary rewards. The efficient (Pareto-optimal) allocation of chips needs one-sided allocation of - at least one kind of - chips. At the same time Pareto-efficiency is fully compatible with equity. The efficient equitable allocation in the case of high (low) payoff mode gives all black chips to the responder (proposer) and splits white chips equally. We expected lack of information to yield much of waste and inequitable allocations. This expectation is based on the proposer who in the lack of common knowledge does not do the rational differentiation in order to avoid misunderstandings, but relies more on primitive fairness norms (splits both piles of chips equally). According to our results 1. More than half of the responders do not buy information about the payoff mode (30 out of 55). 2. Those, who buy information report more uncertainty about the allocation problem and trust less their proposers. 3. Proposers, whose partners asked for information: - utilize the resource of white chips to a less extent in both payoff modes; - offer considerably less Pareto-optimal allocation in both payoff modes; - offer more equitable allocation in the high payoff mode than those with partners not asking for information. In general, in our experiment buying information did not pay on average (although it was sold at a low price, equal to the value of a single chip). Surprisingly, buying information destroyed rationality in the offers to such an extent that even the more equitable offers could not cover the cost of information. Based on our data set one cannot judge safely on causes of these unexpected results. A possible explanation is that asking for information conveys the fearful message of mistrust, attracting attention from the rational way of problem solving to getting the good result. Putting it another way, less cognitive capacity might be devoted to finding the rational way to the solution. Supporting this hypothesis, we prove that proposers with partners asking information employ more the heuristic of 'separate accounts from the two kinds of chips' and try to come at equitable allocation separately from both piles.

Efficiency is one of the most important problems of modern logistics, both at the operational and strategic level. Increasing the level of efficiency of the logistics process can be achieved in many ways. One of the most effective manners is to make decisions based on analysis performed by information management systems. In this paper the authors present the idea of using specific tools, supporting the analysis of the efficiency of logistics processes.

The obligation to pay tax can be viewed in two different ways. According to J. Buchanan, it is a kind of contribution imposed by an omnipotent state, an expression of the state's authority. Thus for the taxpayer it is a compulsory, enforced payment, whose designation is beyond his or her control. The only way to increase the efficiency of a tax system, i.e. to minimise the cost of tax collection given fixed budgetary revenue, is then to ensure full transparency of statio fisci procedures. R. Musgrave understands tax differently. For him, it is a collective levy incurred in order to subsidise public tasks determined by public consensus. Therefore, tax is not an extraneous, imposed duty. The awareness of the obligation stems from the consent (if only presumed) of the taxpayers to bear the cost. In the Polish system, the prevalent method is to introduce new taxes by virtue of the law. The character of the legislative procedures and the highly formalised relationship between the taxman and the taxpayers result in low public acceptance of tax obligations. In consequence, taxes are treated by Poles as the external compulsion from J. Buchanan's theory rather than the collective contribution described by R. Musgrave. This is particularly observable in the individual stages of tax legislation development, where the competences of both sides of the 'tax fence' (state and taxpayers) are limited to the bare minimum. Consequently, statutory provisions, which are frequently incoherent, have to be the decisive factor. This leads to more dispute and controversy and thus to increased tax compliance costs.

There are a lot of economic efficiency indicators in theory. It is necessary to choosee some of them for concrete purposes. ROA, ROE and C/I play important role due to last experience of polish banks. Cost to Income Ratio plays very important role affecting not only efficiency monitoring process in the banks but also becoming a very important target in strategy or finance plan. There are several methodological approaches to construct this index in detail. Results are differing due to implementing methodology. This article describes trends C/I concerning both polish and foreign banks. It is difficult to compare banks in emerging country and real giants in finance mature economies.

This paper analyzes the evolution of the Romanian regions during transition under the influence of foreign direct investments (FDI), using efficiency calculations of the macroeconomic indicators. The methodology developed by Romanu & Vasilescu [1993] was chosen because it directly reflects the contribution of the investments into the evolution of macroeconomic indicators and the way in which FDI influenced that evolution. The ratio between the variation of the indicators of effort and effects shows the efficiency and the progress of an effect indicator for every additional value of effort. The level of FDI was adopted to serve as the indicator of effort, whereas gross domestic product (GDP), gross value added (GVA) and formation of gross fixed capital (FGFC) were adopted as the indicators of effect. In the light of such assumptions the evolution of Romanian economic development regions is characterized by huge disparities. The most obvious is the disparity between Bucharest and the rest of the regions. FDI had a strong positive influence on the macroeconomic indicators but the activity became efficient only after 2000.

The term efficiency is complex, relative and multi-dimensional from the viewpoint of economics, praxiology as well as system research. Therefore, the efficiency should be defined with great precision and its categorization, measurement, an interpretation of its changes as well as identification of factors having an influence on efficiency require some care. Praxiology seems to constitute a good starting point in solving the above problems. When considering the efficiency of managing an organization, a set of instruments provided by praxiology is also very useful for operationalization of a measurement procedure. Differentiation of efficiency, its changes and improvement are determined by many factors. Until recently all of the research in this area has been focused on the intra-organizational factors. In the current state of knowledge, it is necessary to extend the analyses to take also into account the impact of operating environment, at local, national and even global level, on the functioning and the efficiency of enterprises including the agricultural ones.

Socio-economic development of Ukraine depends on the rational use of available natural resources, in particular, on the state of energy efficiency. The article analyses the current state of energy-saving technologies in Ukraine, and explores the current system of regulation in this area. It is revealed the need to develop a mechanism for cooperation between the state, private business, and the public on the terms of coordination of interests of all the parties in the implementation of energy efficiency programs. The importance of taking into account the regional features, that permit the use of resources most efficiently, is shown. It is proved that the calculation of the economic efficiency of energy-saving technologies should be based on the principles of investment analysis, taking into account changes in the value of money in time. The promising areas that provide both the improvement of financial performance and the creation of conditions for further sustainable development are revealed, provided the improvements of used technologies, and the coordination of participants in the energy saving.
