The assumption in this research project was that children in the context of their social group form their own rules and hierarchy, and that precisely this hierarchy in the children´s group has the greatest influence on the character and content of the ideas about social groups which are disseminated among children. Fieldwork has confirmed that children´s knowledge is influenced most of all by the structure of the children´s peer group. Apart from cognitive reasons (it is easier to learn from a similar mind) there are also social reasons- children are very social and for them it is important to be a part of the group where they feel comfortable and which they understand.

The paper examines the book Martin Buber’s Theopolitics and analyses the conflict between the hierarchy in nature and in human society. Buber qualifies our relations to nature and to other non-living objects as darker than human relations. This creates an imbalance between the human You and the other type of You. This reflection allows us to think about the meaning of the principle of humanity in relation to personhood, and in relation to different forms of communities (natural, or inorganic communities). It is an important question in the light of “conflicts” and tensions created by the environmental crisis we are facing today. The paper explains how to use the word “conflict” in this context and whether it is justified.

In this essay I presented basic information on complexity of life, starting with general characteristics of complexity. The complexity was explained in terms of quantity of parts, organized by not their summation, but by their ability to selforganization and creation of novelty on the way to the wholeness in a course of evolution. A short review of evolving cell from elementary particles and atoms, through simple chemical molecules and macromolecules, self-organized networks and morphological structures of the cell were presented. All living organisms reveal distinct hierarchical organization from basic level (atoms, molecules) to cells and multicellular individuals. Complexity is increasing with the increased hierarchical levels. However phenomena of life on higher level of hierarchy can not be explained or reduced to characteristics and properties of chemical molecules but by interaction between them and integration of various molecular processes at a lover levels of hierarchy. More detailed view on hierarchical organization of the human, relation between various levels of hierarchy, and emergence of highest human abilities belonging to the broad level of culture are discussed.

The contribution opens up the first results of the research that focused on the contact interpersonal communication in terms of the selected company. It is based on the assumption that the communication inside the company is a manifestation of status hierarchies as a reflection of formalized organizational structure. We follow the communication process in the vertical plane (relation of employee – manager, senior manager, social environment, and social situation of communication); in the horizontal plane (relationships within the company, managers, employees, and external environment – economic partners, political and power elites). The third diagonal plane of communication is focused on informal relationships within the communication groups, relations with boss, etc. We follow the organizational culture within the company, unwritten rules of relationships, norms, rituals which build the identity and image of the company and which form employee ś loyalty and pride through social and economic benefits and various forms of staff support.

The dependence of the public good on the number of players for the eight situations of different rules generate income players. The conditions under which maximizes the amount of the public good.

This paper provides a coherent framework which allows understanding the economics of information processing in the management of a firm. Data processing is modelled as a dynamic parallel-processing model of associative computation with an endogenous set-up cost. In such a model, the conditions for the efficient organization of data processing are defined, and the architecture of efficient structures is analyzed. It is shown that, as in computer systems, the so-called 'skip-level reporting' structures are efficient. However, if the information workload of managers cannot be equalized, then the best pattern of information workload has to be determined, and resources allocated to the managers have to be adjusted to it. The method of adjustment of resources to the information workload of managers in one-shot skip-level reporting structures is presented and an example of an organization of data processing in demand forecasting is considered.

The study is focused on cognitive representations of a hierarchical and competitive world in male and female expectations. Framed by social cognitive views of psychological interdependence (Deutsch, 1985), four measures served to assess representations of the social world: hierarchy, competition, trust in others and positive reciprocity. Target phenomena were investigated by comparisons of gender groups and in relation to gender self-concept. An analysis showed a) balanced rather than polarized expectations across all four measures of social world in both males and females; b) highly significant gender differences in the expectations of competition and positive reciprocity; c) females' expectations to be more differentiated than males' expectations; d) gender self-concept to be of marginal influence upon male and female interpersonal expectations. The findings are discussed in the context of experimental studies and non-schematic views of hierarchy and competition.

Autorytaryzm i partnerstwo

PL
W artykule przedstawiono psychologiczne i  społeczno-kulturowe uwarunkowania dwóch przeciwstawnych systemów organizacyjnych: autorytarnego i  partnerskiego. Punktem wyjścia ich rozróżnienia jest różnica w  poczuciu umiejscowienia kontroli nad własnym działaniem wśród członków organizacji. Zewnętrzne lub wewnętrzne poczucie umiejscowienia kontroli jako cecha psychologiczna decyduje o  stosunku do hierarchii władzy, jej stabilności i  przedmiotowym lub podmiotowym traktowaniu podwładnych przez przełożonego oraz związanych z  tym wzorach kulturowych. Chociaż w  artykule nie usiłowano formułować jednoznacznych ocen wartościujących, to jego treść wyraźnie wskazuje na potrzebę rozwijania organizacji partnerskich i  eliminowania systemów autorytarnych. Tendencja ta wynikać powinna nie tylko z  powodu technicznych i  ekonomicznych warunków funkcjonowania współczesnych organizacji, ale także, a  może przede wszystkim, ze względów moralnych.

This paper presents the psychological and socio-cultural conditions of two contrasting organizational systems-authoritarianism and partnership. The starting point for differentiating them is the difference in sense of location of control over one's actions amidst members of the organization. An external or internal sense of location of control as a psychological quality determines the relationship to the hierarchy of authority, its stability, and the objective or subjective treatment of subordinates by the superior as well as related cultural models. Although this article makes no attempt to formulate unequivocal valuations, its contents clearly points to a need to develop partnership organizations and eliminate authoritarian systems. This tendency should not only be the result of technical reasons and economic conditions under which today's organizations function, but also, or perhaps primarily, for moral reasons.
