AThe matter of openness of pays is one of the key characteristics of a salary system. Psychological theory, confirmed by results of numerous analyses and experiments, shows quite explicitly that height of pays received by employees should be made public due to keeping possibly highest motivation for work. Nevertheless, the majority of managers takes an opposite direction. Influenced by the specificity of the labour market, the necessity to fight for employees and the care of keeping balance of firm finances, they tend in practice to keep secrecy of employee's salary height. The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of psychological aspects of salary's openness and of the implications of its application in practice, and, in consequence, an attempt to answer the question: should and on what conditions, the heights of salaries be made public.

The article presents the results of the pilot study of the refined method of basic human values proposed by Shalom Schwartz (translated and adapted into Ukrainian). The methodology has greater possibilities for detailing and evaluation of human values compared to the previous version of the scale. In the modern version of the model, 19 basic values are allocated and placed on the motivational circle organized by the following principle: the neighboring values are the most compatible, the opposite ones - conflict with each other. The English version of the technique was translated into Ukrainian and tested on two pilot studies. The research method was a structured interview (face-to-face) conducted by a questionnaire survey among young people aged 14 to 34 (Ukrainian citizens). The obtained results allowed to verify the conceptual and empirical validity of each statement, which are indicators of measurable values. Indicators of quality of the model allow concluding about the best explanatory model of human values measured by Sh. Schwartz. The best quality indicators were obtained during the modification of the model using the ESEM and RI-EFA methods. The indicator has a significant statistical connection with the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The level of inherency and non-inherency of self-expression values differs by age: with age, the proportion of those for whom the value of self-expression is inherent decreases. The integral value of "self-expression value" has a meaningful relationship with indicators that measure the attitude of young people to political processes in the country, their participation in public life. The value of self-expression also has a significant relationship with regards being an entrepreneur or a desire to open one’s own business. There is a direct significant connection between an inherent value and desire to become an entrepreneur. The research showed that the willingness to leave the locality more often comes from those who have the inherent value of self-expression. Especially, the younger age group of 14 – 18 are more likely to leave their area. Emigrating, but with a view to return to the country, are more likely to be respondents with self-expression value. The real reason for their willingness to emigrate is the desire to emigrate because there is no real democracy and legality in Ukraine and due to military actions in the East of Ukraine.

Human capital is of crucial importance for the banking sector as it is a key driver of banks' efficiency. Unlike financial and material factors of production, human capital can be enhanced through education and has virtually unlimited growth potential. Investments in human capital can contribute to increased efficiency of the banking sector. Banks should therefore ensure that their employees' knowledge and skills are systematically developed. Employees are an asset in which one needs to invest by providing opportunities for further training. Attention to the needs of personnel, combined with proper management of the human resources function, can help banks to build competitive advantage and to achieve their objectives.

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.

Recent years clearly show a rising interest in methods for managing human resources that may help increase the input of workers in the success of the organization as well as make possible full access to 'hidden resources' of knowledge, creativity, and worker initiative (Thompson, 1999). A concept that seems to bring in a wealth of input into the discussed question is the empowerment of workers. This article discusses the idea of empowerment, its basic definitions, and the scope of its variety of concepts. The results of empirical studies thanks to which new dimensions of worker empowerment have been identified are also presented.

E-learning becomes one of the most popular tools for employees' development in organizations. Despite numerous advantages it offers for employers, it is not trouble-free. One of the greatest obstacles is the lack of participants' motivation for full engagement in e-learning training. The study presented in the article confirms that motivation is a factor of involvement in e-learning. The main aims of the study were: to discover the factors influencing trainee's motivation and to know their evaluation of such type of e-learning that is characterized by serial convention and a high level of interactivity.

During the last decades several studies in cognitive psychology have shown that many of our actions do not depend on the reasons that we adduce afterwards, when we have to account for them. Our decisions seem to be often influenced by normatively or explanatorily irrelevant features of the environment of which we are not aware, and the reasons we offer for those decisions are a posteriori rationalisations. But exactly what reasons has the psychological research uncovered? In philosophy, a distinction has been commonly made between normative and motivating reasons: normative reasons make an action right, whereas motivating reasons explain our behaviour. Recently, Maria Alvarez has argued that, apart from normative (or justifying) reasons, we should further distinguish between motivating and explanatory reasons. We have, then, three kinds of reasons, and it is not clear which of them have been revealed as the real reasons for our actions by the psychological research. The answer we give to this question will have important implications both for the validity of our classifications of reasons and for our understanding of human action.

Procrastination can be understood as an excessive mismatch between the original intention and the resulting action, i.e., the gap between commitment and completion of a task greatly exceeds the amount of time required for successful completion of a given task (Bujnovská & Greifová, 2022). The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between procrastination, personality traits and motivation in university students. Personality traits were measured using the BFI-2 S (Kohút et al., 2020). The Procrastination Scale (Gabrhelík, 2006; Lay, 1986) was used to measure procrastination and the Academic Motivation Scale – AMS-C 28 (Vallerand et al., 1989) was used to measure academic motivation. In terms of personality traits, differences between types of procrastinators (mild, moderate, severe) were demonstrated in conscientiousness, openness, and agreeableness. In statistical analyses, we found that higher levels of procrastination were related to: a) lower levels of conscientiousness, openness and agreeableness; b) higher levels of amotivation. Conscientiousness was a significant predictor of procrastination. The contribution of this research could be mainly focused on education, since this is where procrastination needs to be eliminated, which will improve not only students’ performance but also their overall self-image.

The author focuses attention on etymological interpretations of the Hornád River name that more (non)linguists have dealt with. By illustrating particular divergent concepts and consecutive (non)identification with them author clarifies the patchwork of many unsatisfactory interpretations. In demonstrating of own interpretation it took into consideration the historical development of the investigated site, the outcomes of recently realized archaeological research. The interpretation of Š. Ondruš was also very helpful. The author identifies with the theories endorsing the Slavonic origin of the river name, because she is confident that the coming foreign ethnics took over the existing and in the communication process working name which they subsequently adjusted and adapted to the sound needs of the given language. According to authors opinion the Hornád River acquired its name according to the appellative hora (gora) < adj. horný (gor-ъn-) with suffix -at:-ad, in a pre-historical reconstruction Gorъn-ad, Gornad.
