Aim/purpose - Internal whistleblowing is the most desirable form of reporting about wrongdoings for all kinds of organizations. The aim of this paper is to identify factors influencing the occurrence of internal whistleblowing and to provide recommendations for practitioners on how to encourage employees to report wrongdoings to an organization. Design/methodology/approach - The fundamental article database has been constructed with the use of ProQuest, EBSCO and Taylor & Francis databases. The timespan for the research was from 1990 to 2022. The papers for the fundamental database were found within the utilization of two words "whistleblowing" in titles and "internal" in abstracts. Next, the database was broadened by snowball review. Findings - Identified factors important for the occurrence of internal whistleblowing in an organization were assigned to one of the following areas: ethics, leadership, policies and procedures, retaliations and safeguards, social climate, organizational justice, education and training, reporting channels, communication, additional motivation, organization's size and structure, audit committee. Research implications/limitations - For researchers - the paper provides a picture of research on internal whistleblowing: identified factors influencing internal whistleblowing, popularity of exploring problems, and utilizing research methods. For practitioners - the paper provides practical implications (based on current knowledge) important for implementing and managing organizational whistleblowing systems in the organization of private and public sectors. Originality/value/contribution - The main contribution of this work states the framework of factors affecting internal whistleblowing, which was constructed on the basis of a systematic review of the scientific literature. Moreover, the paper provides guidelines for practitioners.

Effective control of an organization is strictly connected with its organization structure. When a company decides to outsource a part of its operations, a new structure is applied. Also, the system of control should be reviewed and adjusted to the new model of business in order to be effective. Usually, the outsourcing companies apply functional organization structure which is the most common way of grouping business activities. The goal of the paper was to point challenges and aspects which should be taken into consideration in order to adapt control systems to new organization structures in case of Business Process Outsourcing and Shared Service Centers. The research was based on literature studies as well as empirical analysis of selected companies from business service centers sector. The key findings of the study suggest that the mechanisms of control differ in Business Process Outsourcing and Shared Service organizations although both base on building trust and relationship. The main challenges of adapting the control system to new conditions comprise people and process related factors such as: knowledge management, control split and owners, new processes flows, virtual teams. Building control system is a process which foundation is a new organization structure.

The optimality and the efficiency are the main criteria used in the evaluation process of auction mechanisms. The optimal auction maximizes auctioneer's surplus, whereas an efficient mechanism efficiently allocates the commodity traded in the auction. Quite often there is a tradeoff between the two criteria: an auction which is optimal has a limited efficiency, and the opposite, an auction that is efficient might lead to a lower auctioneer's surplus. In a short run it's the optimality that would be more crucial for the auctioneer, but in the long run the efficiency would become more and more important, promoting competition and innovations. The main aim of the paper is to demonstrate that experiments can serve as a useful tool in evaluating the auctions' efficiency. The paper presents the results of the experiments, aimed at analyzing the optimality and efficiency of the chosen reverse auction mechanisms, in case of the asymmetrical market with an entry cost. The mechanisms studied included the English auction, the first-price sealed-bid auction, the Japanese auction, and the Amsterdam auction. Out of them the highest value of auctioneer's surplus was reached in case of the first-price sealed-bid auction, and the most efficient mechanism was the English auction. Apart from that, the paper provides the results of the long run simulations, showing the positive effect of efficiency on the discounted sum of the auctioneer's surplus.(

The article deals with the definition and description of the concept of altruism from its ethical and philosophical side against the background of prosocial behaviour. We point out the relation between prosocial behaviour of man and altruism based on a summary of respondents 'opinions on the issues of trustworthiness and efficiency of charitable organizations, respondents' participation in their support and the most common way of donation. Effective altruism is supposed to be a kind of helper for people who want to donate part of their money to charity organizations to improve the world, but are unable to make the right decision about whose financial contribution they are donating. Distrust of charities is becoming more and more current, leading people to stagnate charity. The lack of information on efficiency, functioning, results and a non-transparent list of sources of funding for charitable organizations has prompted us to be more interested in this area. A transparent list of the most effective charities with detailed information on the use of funds to which every person would have access could be a way to express charity and humanity more than ever before. The most ideal scenario is for all people to adopt such behaviour, but in today's world there is the opposite extreme - egoism, selfishness, individualism, materialism and lack of interest in others, which, unfortu-nately, often hide behind altruism. Society, as such, cannot do without altruistic be-haviour, so even "impure" motives can bear fruit, of course, to some extent. Altruism is most often confused with the concept of pro-sociality, as a way of helping others, without expecting the reward that can come, but forms the core not only of ethical education but of each education because it leads to more positive relationships. Living in a society where there is positive energy and people are helping each other is a fuller life. Altruism, Egoism, Prosocial behaviour, Social ethics, Effectiveness Artykuł dotyczy definicji i opisu pojęcia altruizmu od strony etycznej i filozoficznej na tle zachowań prospołecznych. Zwracamy uwagę na związek między prospołecznym zachowaniem człowieka a altruizmem w oparciu o podsumowanie opinii respondentów na te- mat wiarygodności i efektywności organizacji charytatywnych, udziału respondentów w ich wsparciu oraz najczęstszego sposobu dawstwa. Skuteczny altruizm ma być rodzajem pomocnika dla osób, które chcą przekazać część swoich pieniędzy organizacjom charytatywnym na rzecz poprawy świata, ale nie są w stanie podjąć właściwej decyzji o tym, czyj wkład finansowy przekazują. Nieufność organizacji charytatywnych staje się coraz bardziej aktualna, co prowadzi do stagnacji działalności charytatywnej. Brak informacji o wydajności, funkcjonowaniu, wynikach i nie- przejrzystej liście źródeł finansowania organizacji charytatywnych skłonił nas do większego zainteresowania tą dziedziną. Przejrzysta lista najskuteczniejszych organizacji charytatywnych ze szczegółowymi informacjami na temat wykorzystania funduszy, do których każda osoba miałaby dostęp, mogłaby być sposobem na wyrażenie miłości i ludzkości bardziej niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Najbardziej idealnym scenariuszem jest przyjęcie takiego zachowania przez wszystkich ludzi, ale w dzisiejszym świecie istnieje przeciwna skrajność - egoizm, egoizm, indywidualizm, materializm i brak zainteresowania innymi, które niestety często kryją się za altruizmem. Społeczeństwo jako takie nie może obejść się bez altruistycznych zachowań, więc nawet „nieczyste” motywy mogą oczywiście przy- nieść owoce. Altruizm jest najczęściej mylony z koncepcją prospołeczności, jako sposobu pomagania innym, nie oczekując nagrody, która może nadejść, ale stanowi rdzeń nie tylko edukacji etycznej, ale każdej edukacji, ponieważ prowadzi do bardziej pozytywnych relacji. Życie w społeczeństwie, w którym jest pozytywna energia i ludzie pomagają sobie nawzajem, jest pełniejszym życiem. Altruizm, Egoizm, Zachowanie prospołeczne, Etyka społeczna, Skuteczność

Every nation has its own way of living, traditions, values, and norms. The cultural practices vary among the countries all over the world. The advertisement itself, the messages conveyed and the actors performing in it depend on the cultural characteristics of the country. The development level of the countries may have an impact on the cultural values of individuals; hence on the consumption behavior and marketing applications. Individual cultural differences may call for certain adaptations in the messages, content, and style of the advertisements for a certain target group. Depending on this view, this research tries to analyze the effects of individual differences on the advertising effectiveness in an emerging country, Turkey.. The effectiveness of each advertisement was measured in terms of the persuasiveness and liking. Furthermore, individual cultural differences were analyzed on two dimensions of masculinity and power distance, which were introduced by Hofstede (1983). All the masculinity statements were grouped under one factor whereas power distance statements were grouped under two subdimensions namely “trust for subordinates” and “obedience to authority”. The masculinity scale was found to create significant difference in the effectiveness of the advertisements. However, the power distance did not create any difference between the effectiveness levels. Individual cultural traits did not create any difference in the effectiveness of advertisements except in ads which carry masculine cues (called ‘masculine ads’ throughout the text). If the ad carried masculine cues, then, feminine individuals evaluated effectiveness of masculine ads significantly lower than did the masculine individuals.

Human trafficking is a new phenomenon of Albanian post-socialist society which significantly increased during the difficult years of its transformation from centralized state-led economy to market economy. Both economic and political instability contributed to its size, nature and multiple dynamics. Drawing on a rights-based approach to human trafficking, this paper examines the effectiveness of the counter-trafficking response of the Albanian government with a special emphasis on prevention, protection and prosecution. Using secondary data and reviewing various country strategic documents, it highlights a range of weaknesses and challenges which have hindered its effectiveness over years. It concludes that successful and effective counter-trafficking response requires well rounded and coordinated gender sensitive, victim-centred, holistic and human rights-based efforts. Combined with adequate law enforcement, they will sustainably tackle the full spectrum of this problem.

Artykuł dotyczy problemu oceny skuteczności i efektywności antycyklicznej polityki makroostrożnościowej. Przedstawiono w nim podstawowe źródła procykliczności sektora finansowego oraz przeanalizowano cele antycyklicznej polityki makroostrożnościowej i środki niezbędne do ich osiągnięcia. W myśl zarysowanej w artykule definicji skuteczność dotyczy stopnia, w jakim można zlikwidować zaburzenie funkcjonowania rynku (tj. zakłócenie mechanizmu rynkowego) oraz osiągnąć cele pośrednie i ostateczne. Analiza dostępnej literatury w poszukiwaniu metod pomiaru stopnia osiągnięcia celów polityki makroostożnościowej prowadzi do wniosku, że obecnie wiemy na ten temat bardzo mało. Podobnie ograniczona jest dostępna wiedza na temat efektywności antycyklicznej polityki makroostrożnościowej, ponieważ obecnie dysponujemy jedynie pomiarem niektórych skutków pośrednich antycyklicznych regulacji kapitałowych i płynnościowych, szacowanych jako koszty i korzyści makroekonomiczne. Regulacje makroostrożnościowe, szczególnie te antycykliczne, są potrzebne - ponieważ stabilność finansowa sprzyja wzrostowi gospodarczemu i w efekcie wiąże się ze wzrostem dobrobytu społecznego. Jednakże przeprowadzona w artykule analiza skłania do wniosku, że konieczne są dalsze badania, które pozwolą na wypracowanie metod oceny skuteczności, jak i dadzą nam pełniejszy obraz jej efektywności, uwzględniający nie tylko skutki pośrednie stosowania antycyklicznych instrumentów makroostrożnościowych, ale również bezpośrednie następstwa tej polityki.

The article focuses on the problem of assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of countercyclical macroprudential policy. It presents basic sources of procyclicality of the financial sector and analyses objectives of countercyclical macroprudential policy. The effectiveness of macroprudential policy concerns the degree to which market failures can be addressed and intermediate and final objectives can be achieved. An analysis of contemporary literature in search of methods which could be applied to assess the degree to which the objectives of macroprudential policy are achieved leads us to the conclusion that the current state of knowledge in this area is insufficient. In the same vein, we know very little about the efficiency of countercyclical macroprudential policy, because available studies focus on a few indirect macroeconomic costs and benefits of more restrictive capital adequacy and liquidity standards, estimated as output losses and gains. Macroprudential regulations, in particular those that are countercyclical, are essential to safeguarding financial stability, which is a prerequisite for stable economic growth and social welfare. However, the analysis conducted in this paper leads to the conclusion that we need further research, with the aim of developing a robust framework of assessment of these regulations. The research should also attempt to design a reliable framework of assessment of the efficiency of macroprudential policy.

Współcześnie oczekuje się, że audyt wewnętrzny będzie tworzył wartość dla organizacji przez wykonywanie zadań atestacyjnych i doradczych. Jednak wcześniejsze badania wykazały, że audyt wewnętrzny nie zawsze osiąga swoje cele. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu omówienie podstaw teoretycznych do badania roli kierownictwa wyższego szczebla i komitetu audytu w tworzeniu przez audyt wewnętrzny wartości dla organizacji. Z analizy literatury wynika, że audyt wewnętrzny w Polsce nie zawsze tworzy wartość dla organizacji. Na tę wartość mogą mieć wpływ: wsparcie kierownictwa wyższego szczebla oraz działania komitetu audytu. Przyszłe badania powinny skoncentrować się na tym, które działania kierownictwa wyższego szczebla i komitetu audytu faktycznie mają wpływ na wartość dodaną audytu wewnętrznego w polskim sektorze publicznym i prywatnym.

Modernly it is expected that internal audit will create value for the organization by performing assurance and consulting services. However, previous studies have shown that internal audit functions do not always achieve their goals. The aim of this article is to discuss some aspects of the theoretical basis for the study of the role of senior management and audit committee in the creation of value for organization by internal audit. The literature review shows that the internal audit in Poland not always adds value. Its value may be affected by: the support of senior management and the operation of the audit committee. Future research should focus on examining what actions of senior management and the audit committee actually have an impact on the value of internal audit in the Polish public and private sectors.
