Author undertakes an attempt to answer the question: is it sufficient for an effective protection of property law of engaged people under Polish Law to base on general provisions of Civil law. Furthermore, author analyses if German regulations of damages for unjustified withdrawal from engagement lead to the same conclusion as application of general provisions of Polish Civil Law. Finally, author draws conclusion on necessity of implementation to Polish Law special regulations of engagement as under BGB.

After the Islamisation of the Azerbaijani population, many areas of life were subordinated to the dogmas of Islam. On the one hand, what took place was an adaptation of customs to the principles of Islam, such as funerals, marital life, childbirth, dances, etc. On the other hand, completely new forms of rituals emerged, such as the circumcision of boys, Ramadan and Kurban, ritual prayers and pilgrimages, etc. While the institution of marriage and wedding (cabin) was also regulated by sacred canons, engagements and wedding customs preserved many remains from pre-Islamic times. Some elements of the wedding tradition even refer to pagan beliefs (mirror, candles of the bride, a bride being led by her father around the standing lamp, a red belt on a wedding dress, etc.). Another manifestation of this phenomenon is the fact that while the funeral customs of many nations that adhere to Islam look similar, wedding traditions, on the other hand, differ even among the various Turkic peoples. The article focuses on premarital and wedding customs. The aim of the work is to describe the wedding tradition and present the transformation process of many customs and superstitions in this field.

Assessing oral skills in relatively large Business English classes seems a most formidable task for any teacher. How does one make sure to get multiple and valid assessments of each student? This action research paper provides supporting evidence for the correlation between the use of technology and students’ engagement. This was achieved by creating and implementing a course which aims at motivating, promoting and assessing oral communication skills. Students are required to use various channels, including video recordings to demonstrate their communication abilities. This framework enables students and instructors alike to overcome the challenges of large classes.

A characterization of companies of the SME sector in Poland demonstrates the importance of improving the process of human capital management. Analysis of the specific attributes of the companies in this sector and an evaluation of the human capital management system proves the advisability of improving the quality of incentive systems. Another argument is the level of job satisfaction and employee satisfaction. These findings are derived from research carried out on a representative, nationwide sample. It is for this reason that a rational direction for improving the incentive systems is the application of solutions based on a new paradigm that is concerned with the level of employee satisfaction. Such a paradigm becomes not only a substantive, but also an objective necessity under difficult management conditions.

This paper illustrates how university students describe the benefits and challenges of online community environment (OCE) in promoting engagement in university studies. The sociocultural framework allows gaining understanding of the engagement in learning processes as well as the collaborative dimensions of OCE in developing higher education in the 21th century. The study was conducted by using the method of empathy-based stories. The data were collected from two student groups representing samples of presumed forerunners of online and offline environments. The results revealed the importance of multidimensionality of engagement, with interaction among and between students and staff. OCE was seen beneficial in strengthening the sense of belonging to the university, in networking and in enhancing active citizenship. The students saw the academic and social world overlapping. OCE was not seen as an alternative but supplementary to offline community, being beneficial for learning and extracurricular activities. The results represent four overlapping spheres that reflect the potentials of OCE in enhancing engagement in studies: supportive reciprocity, collegial contribution, growth of expertise and shared direction. In order to enhance engagement in university studies via OCE, the results suggest that the focus should be on the sociocultural practices and pedagogical processes.

In the studies of international relations containment and engagement are often understood as strategies of foreign policy. This article seeks to explore containment and engagement through a less frequently applied theoretical perspective: to find out what features of containment and engagement allow them to be called middle-range theories.The article presents the main features of meta- and middle-range theories, draws attention to realism as meta-theory and then distinguishes the most characteristic features of containment and engagement in order to find their matches in the attributes of middle-range theories.The article concludes that containment and engagement can be called middle-range theories, since they are power balancing theories that analyze the phenomenon from a specific point of view (individual approaches to the instruments, regions, targets), they are comprehensive, and they stay within the field of power balancing analysis.

Workplaces are often described as places in which individuals are motivated by their self-interests and in which negative events like time pressure, anxiety, conflict with co-workers, miscomprehensions, difficulties in solving problems, not-transmitted or not-exchanged information that lead to mistakes, and in some cases to injuries, stress or control, are part of everyday life (Dormann & Zapf, 2002; Schabracq, Winnubst and Cooper, 2003). Such situations are often the result of the limited comprehension of needs, skills, or information available to colleagues, supervisors, subordinates, clients or providers. However, workplaces are also places in which employees take care of clients, support colleagues and subordinates (Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002), are enthusiastic about their job (Bakker et al., 2008), are motivated by leaders that encourage employees to transcend their own self-interests for the good of the group or the organization and provide them with the confidence to perform beyond expectations (Bass, 1997). Thus positive relationships at work are becoming a new interdisciplinary domain of inquiry (Dutton & Ragins, 2006). Within this positive relationships framework, in this paper we focus on a positive component of workplaces, and particularly on an individual cognitive and emotional process that has an important role in the workplace because it facilitates interpersonal relations and communications: it is the perspective taking process. In order to describe perspective taking, we will refer to some empirical studies and particularly to the review published by Parker, Atkins and Axtell in 2008 on the International Review of Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Perspective taking is a well established psychological construct, investigated both in the field of human development, as an important component of reasoning and moral development, and also in social and clinical psychology, where it is considered a component of social behaviors and of the therapeutic process (Parker & Axtell, 2001). It has also been conceptualized in different ways. Duan and Hill (1996) describe three approaches to explain reasons for perspective taking behavior: a dispositional approach, that considers empathy as a relatively stable trait or a general ability; a cognitive-affective experience influenced by situational conditions; and finally as a multiphased experiential process. However, although in modern organizations working cooperatively and taking into account customers’ needs and experiences are becoming even more important (Schneider, White, and Paul, 1998; West, Tjosvold and Smith, 2003), very few studies have considered perspective taking process within organizations (Parker & Axtell, 2001). This is interesting because taking into account the perspective of others may contribute to more collaborative workplaces, where it is pleasant to work, as also enlighted in the title of the Parker, Atkins and Axtell’s (2008) paper: “Building better workplaces” is one of the possible outcomes of perspective taking. This paper aims to make available to a large audience such studies and, in relation to the topic of the conference organized by “Psychology and Communion”, consider connections between this concept and ideas and writings by Chiara Lubich.

Attributing success to external influences, such as fate, luck or coincidence indicates the formation of external locus of control. Not recognising the link between effort and the effects of work may contribute to lower achievement motivation and, consequently, may lead to less involvement and poorer educational results. In this study a question was posed whether this correlation really exists and whether girls with a different level of locus of control (LOC) differ in terms of achievement motivation. The study, carried out on a sample of 172 girls (16 to 20 years of age), used a Delta questionnaire by Drwal to investigate the locus of control and the LMI Inventory to examine achievement motivation. The results of this study confirmed that there is a relationship between achievement motivation and the locus of control. In addition, the analysis included age variable. On this basis it was concluded that age can modify achievement motivation in terms of self-confidence, flexibility, status orientation and pride in productivity.

In Polish legal system the institution of engagement was regulated independently by both private and canon law. In the beginning, it was an institution of customary law. In foreign legal systems binding on the territory of Poland in the 19th and the first half of 20th century, the institution of engagement could be found in most of civil codes. These regulations protected the freedom of entering into marriage, however, there could be differences in terms of property effects. It wasn’t until the end of the Second World War that Poland was able to enact its own maritial law, in which the institution of engagement was regulated for a few years. In canon law, for a long time there had been no common rules concerning engagement. At the beginning of 20th century requirements concerning the legal form of engagement were imposed. However, these restrictions haven’t survived until the present time.

W polskim systemie prawnym instytucja zaręczyn była regulowane niezależnie od siebie zarówno w prawie cywilnym, jak i kanonicznym. W prawie cywilnym były początkowo instytucją prawa zwyczajowego. W obcych porządkach prawnych obowiązujących na terytorium Polski w wieku XIX i pierwszej połowie wieku XX instytucja zaręczyn znalazła się w większości kodeksów. Regulacje te chroniły swobodę zawarcia małżeństwa, różne natomiast mogły być skutki majątkowe. Dopiero po drugiej wojnie światowej w Polsce udało się stworzyć własne prawo małżeńskie, które przez kilka lat obejmowało także zaręczyny. W prawie kanonicznym przez długi okres nie było jednolitych przepisów w odniesieniu do zaręczyn. Na początku XX wieku wprowadzono wymogi dotyczące prawnej formy zaręczyn. Przepisy te nie przetrwały jednak do czasów współczesnych.

The theoretical emphasis within the L2 Motivational Self System has typically been on the two future self-guides representing possible (ideal and ought-to) selves, leaving the third main dimension of the construct, the L2 Learning Experience, somewhat undertheorized. Yet, this third component is not secondary in importance, as evidenced by empirical studies that consistently indicate that the L2 Learning Experience is not only a strong predictor of various criterion measures but is often the most powerful predictor of motivated behavior. This paper begins with an analysis of possible reasons for this neglect and then draws on the notion of student engagement in educational psychology to offer a theoretical framework for the concept. It is proposed that the L2 Learning Experience may be defined as the perceived quality of the learners’ engagement with various aspects of the language learning process.

There has been much research on the connections between second language (L2) writing and learner motivation. However, few studies have focused on contexts in which L2 learning is mandatory, rather than elective. This technical action research-based study evaluated a project in which teenage learners in Argentina were engaged in creative writing tasks, with the goal of including their final written pieces in a formal publication. Through focus group interviews and group discussions, it was found that the project had increased the motivation not only of the learners, but also of the teachers. Further, the study highlights the importance of making such writing tasks student-centered, and calls attention to the role played by the teachers in motivating and engaging students. The study suggests that effort should be made to develop more initiatives in formal education settings in order to motivate and engage learners involved in mandatory language study.

Is school culture able to reduce the negative influence of work stressors present in teacher’s work? The goal of the study presented in this paper was to test a hypothetical mechanism, according to which school’s culture moderates the links between stressors and teachers’ job engagement. Relying on job demandsresources theoretical model, in the investigation conducted on a large (N=449) sample of teachers we found that although indeed the exposition to stress in an everyday teachers’ work is negatively related to teachers’ engagement, school culture serves as a buffer that moderates the relationship between stress and engagement. Among the teachers who perceived their school culture as supportive, stress did not reduce their engagement, while this effect was find in less supportive schools.

This study addresses the question how students’ engagement and burnout are related to academic achievement the grade point average and the number of passed exams. The study involved 205 students. Multiple regression analysis indicated that burnout is direct significant predictor of grade point average, but the engagement is not. Relation between students’ engagement and the grade point average was mediated by level of burnout. Further analysis revealed that students who have passed all the exams in the first term were characterized by lower level of burnout than students who have not passed all the exams in the first term. However, students from both groups did not differ, in the level of study engagement. The results indicate that high academic achievement is related to the lack of a burnout rather than the presence of engagement. Results also show that the grade point average and the number of passed exams are poor indicators of the level of students’ engagement.

At least a quarter of human population is actively engaging in social media. Social media possesses a high level of influence and importance. For example, social media shapes communication habits between people and provides a communication channel for business enterprises. The statement that teachers should utilise social media as a tool for improving teaching and learning experience, rather than ignoring it, is becoming a common topic for discussion. Hence the aim of this article is to analyse how to use social media in order to improve teaching and learning experience. A theoretical overview of scientific literature on the topic of social media application prospects in education is provided in this article, and a traditional input-process-output schematic for social media usage in teaching and learning is also developed.

There is a significant shift of approach to the management of organizations and workers in recent decades. This shift in management philosophy is characterized by converting from traditional, conventional (rather bureaucratic) management models to rather humanistic/existential oriented models. This transition comes partly from the understanding that human resources are the most promising and effective way for organization development, partly from a shift in the understanding of the role of organizations in society. The key point of these approaches has become a "meaning" or "meaningfulness" in relation to the work and organization. The importance of work meaningfulness is not only in its potential to increase the competitiveness of organizations, but especially in its major (mostly positive) impacts on the employee himself and his work (and by that the organization and its performance). Work meaningfulness is strongly connected to the work engagement, which represents the active personal participation in the work process, manifested by vigor, active cooperation, willingness to contribute to the company's success and dedication to work. Work engagement seems to be next important factor affecting work attitudes and achievements of employees. The paper gives an overview of various approaches to work meaningfulness and work engagement, on the basis of which authors propose new model of work meaningfulness with overlap to work engagement. The work meaningfulness is not seen as one-dimensional variable, but consists of complex of interacting factors and processes that define an individual perceived meaning and importance of the work. Meaningful work is influenced by three areas. The first is the organizational culture. This is defined as a specific pattern of values, norms, beliefs, attitudes and assumptions that are often not clearly expressed, but affect the way individuals behave in an organization and how things are done. The second area is the work design (and broadly the design of organization). It contains several variables, such as workload, work extent (e.g. number of various activities), the depth of work (the amount of the reasoning behind the necessary processes and results of work), relationships with others, work flexibility, job sharing etc. The last area represents the individual/employee himself, e.g. his personality, intelligence (including emotional), optimism, sense of mastery, self-efficacy, attitudes etc.

This article discusses the book Theatre and Citizenship: The History of a Practice by David Wiles (Cambridge 2011), which inspires reflection on the historical and current role of theater practice in the promotion of civic ideas. The critical analysis is initiated by questions about the changing nature of social bonds in the age of digital communication. In the perspective of today’s atomized society, the recognition of the communal character of the aesthetic and ethical experience of theater appears somewhat archaic. However, it is important from a historical point of view, demonstrating the sources of beliefs about theatricality, which have determined audience expectations of the performing arts to this day. Wiles’s historical presentations are an inspiring starting point for a critical discussion on the politicality of the theater and the significance of its institutional organisation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education students to change their academic functioning, as well as the process of their social integration. This study focuses on the impact of the pandemic on student well-being, engagement and commitment to the university. The research group comprises 184 students from two universities (Poland and Germany). The research has shown that engagement with the university and the sense of commitment are negatively related to students’ well-being before the pandemic. It has also been revealed that females show higher commitment and engagement regardless of the country. Findings contribute to understanding student engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Early dropout and low success rates in prison-based treatment programs are prevalent issues in correctional settings. This study investigates the influence of individual pre-program characteristics and program-level factors on treatment attrition (examining a sample of 132 offenders) and treatment success (analyzing a sample of 575 offenders) in risk-oriented offender treatment programs (ROOT) implemented in prison. The regression model results reveal that higher treatment success rates are associated with lower scores in family history and employment risk scales, as well as female gender. Conversely, early dropout is linked to male gender, lower education levels, increased scores in risk assessment scales, and higher incidence of criminal records. When motivation and treatment engagement variables are introduced into the success and dropout models, the impact of pre-program factors diminishes, and these new variables emerge as the most potent predictors of both success and failure in correctional programs. The findings underscore the significance of treatment engagement and motivation, highlighting their implications for treatment planning and future research in the area of correctional rehabilitation.

Rules and narratives in video games had a complicated relationship for many years. In game studies this conflict became evident in ludology versus narratology debate, in video game culture critics and players talk about ludo-narrative dissonance. Both of those phenomena express the popular belief that rules and story in videogames oppose each other, that strategic or tactical engagement and narrative immersion cannot coexist in one game. The following article confronts the problem of, supposedly, opposing types of engagement. To understand different aspects of engagement several concepts of immersion are recalled, beginning with those rooted in literary studies by Janet H. Murray, Marie-Laure Ryan and Katarzyna Prajzner, through game specific concept of Laura Ermi and Frans Mäyrä to post-immersion concepts of Gordon Calleja. In the next section of the paper two analyses of specific types of engagement are presented: game formal system engagement in Angry Birds [Rovio Entertainment, 2009] and narrative immersion in The Walking Dead series [Telltale Games, 2012]. The article concludes with a list of mechanical features of a video game that facilitates either engagement in formal system of the game or game’s narrative.
