The paper concerns a subjective image of the social reality of homeless mothers. The focus is put on the phenomenon of trust. A theoretical perspective adopted in the article refers to the theory proposed by Piotr Sztompka and Anthony Giddens. The analysis of the world of homeless mothers is based on the qualitative and quantitative research conducted among women living in centres for single mothers in the Lower Silesia region. The results of the research point to a low trust level of homeless women. It is shown that the trust is the main factor of the individual activity. It significantly helps in the creation of the social relations network. Additionally, it is shown how to activate homeless women by increasing their trust.

This paper is an attempt to approach the principle of legitimate expectations and protection of trust from the perspective of institutional trust. The main question concerns the meaning of the term ‘trust’ as used in the Code of Administrative Procedure and the Tax Law. The further concern is whether institutional trust is at all conceptually possible. An affirmative answer to that requires adding the ‘placing a bet’ or an ‘interest perspective’ regarding the trusting person to the definition of ‘trust’. The absence of that ingredient leads to a conclusion that the term ‘trust’ as used in article 121 of the Tax Law and article 8 of the Code of Administrative Procedure would merely denote relying on the organ of administration rather than having trust in it. Understanding the term ‘trust’ enables one to establish that the trust in public organs of administration is of pragmatic and moral nature.

Artykuł podejmuje kwestię tak zwanego zaufania instytucjonalnego, czyli takiego, w której z jednej strony znajduje się jednostka, z drugiej – instytucje (na przykład organy administracji państwowej). Autor stara się odpowiedzieć na pytania, jakie znaczenie można przypisać terminowi „zaufanie” użytemu w przepisach ustaw Kodeks postępowania administracyjnego i Ordynacja podatkowa oraz czy – w świetle formułowanych w literaturze przedmiotu definicji terminu „zaufanie” – zaufanie instytucjonalne jest w ogóle pojęciowo możliwe. Proponowana odpowiedź jest następująca: zaufanie instytucjonalne jest pojęciowo możliwe w świetle definicji „zaufania” jako zakładu, ale definicja ta nie uwzględnia elementu korzystnego dla podmiotu ufającego. Przyjęcie definicji zaufania jako zakładu bez elementu korzystnego dla podmiotu ufającego prowadzi do uznania, że termin „zaufanie” użyty w art. 121 § 1 Ordynacji podatkowej i art. 8 Kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego oznacza jedynie sytuację „polegania na” organie administracji, a nie zaufania do niego. Jeżeli natomiast definicję tę uzupełnić o ten element, to wówczas porównanie rodzajów oczekiwań podmiotu ufającego w świetle zasad ogólnych analizowanego Kodeksu i Ordynacji uzasadnia wniosek, że zaufanie jednostki wobec organów administracji stosujących prawo może mieć wymiar instrumentalny oraz moralny.

We report results from a trust game applied in a dynamic setting, which enhances investment possibilities and offers higher potential payoff from cooperation. The proposed approach better reflects the predicaments people face in concluding informal contracts and enables to investigate dynamics of cooperation relationships between players. Although, transferred shares of the disposable endowment do not differ significantly across the standard and modified games, in the absolute values people send more in the dynamic context. Our results suggest that the dynamic setting of the relationship, which has been often ignored in previous studies, might be an important determinant of trust.

A culture of trust leads to better use of knowledge and human skills, so important in an economy based on knowledge, innovation and change. Polish society is characterized by a culture of distrust, and this atmosphere translates into interpersonal relationships in companies. The challenge is therefore to recognize the conditions for building and strengthening organizational trust. Trust is related to personal reliability, which means respecting moral norms and the rights of others. Focusing on the company-employee relationship, in this paper the author has set herself the goal of recognising how – in the context of ethical standards – the culture of trust is shaped in companies in Poland. The introductory – theoretical – part of the study looks at the role of trust in the functioning of an organization. The empirical part includes the available research on moral standards and trust in Polish enterprises. The summary points to the conclusions of the analysis undertaken.

Financial institutions are commonly known as institutions of public trust and they are fundamental for activities of other economic entities. The level of trust determines the competitive position of financial institutions. That is why care about the best standards is the most important task for these institutions. Financial institutions are called institutions of public trust and thus high professionalism and more responsibility is demanded from them. This article presents basic problems concerning trust and institutions of public trust. The article is also an attempt to verify the statement that financial institutions are institu- tions of public trust.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the trust in Open Pension Funds (OPF) as entities operating in the Polish pension system. The task of OPFs is to collect and manage the funds accumulated by Poles in order to secure their capital after retirement. Poles often ignore the need to save money for old age, despite the fact that the Polish pension system provides for individual pension schemes. This article indicates the factors for building the trust in OPFs as institutions operating within the second pillar of the pension system. The trust in the pension system can be built through the trust in the individual institutions operating in the given system. Separating trust factors related to OPFs can indicate the methods of building the trust in the entire pension system.

This paper presents the meaning of trust in the operation of enterprises and presents three original research tools to measure three areas of trust (internal, inter-organizational and consumer), which the author uses to form a complete construction of trust at the enterprise level. Measurement assumptions are based on literature studies. The proposed division trust into three areas is justified by the fact that the process of trust development involves various entities and different factors determine specific areas of trust. The author tried to organize and demon¬strate the most relevant contemporary dimensions of trust, including employee care, concern for stakeholders, competence, reliability, honesty and openness. The diagnosed dimensions of trust at the general level were then developed into an operational and measurement form, which should best describe the proposed areas of trust. In the process of measurement of trust within the classification proposed was assessed and ap¬propriate research medel were developed. Examples of empirical allowed to determine the usefulness of the proposed measurement tools. The research tools used for this purpose are comprehensible and suitable for management practice, they do not oversimplify reality. The concept of systemic trust analysis satisfies the reliability criterion and it can be hoped that it reflects, to the highest possible degree, the reality in which enterprises operate.

This article presents theoretical considerations on the category of trust and risk as constructs particularly important for an individual participating in contemporary socio-cultural realities, especially for young people. Theoretical analyses of the concepts of trust and risk are presented. The basis for these analyses was the concept of the sense of ontological security set in the context of contemporary socio-cultural conditions and globalization processes. Trust and risk are categories of particular importance to young people at present, which is why this age group was emphasized in the theoretical analyses undertaken.

The segregated nature of urban areas reflects an uneven exposure to risk and unsafety. This article analyzes the relevance of place to people’s feelings of unsafety by comparing questionnaire responses from people living in a segregated, disadvantaged neighbourhood to a random sample of people living in the same city. The results suggest that the central factors explaining the individual’s feelings of unsafety differ in this particular neighbourhood compared to the broader population. The article shows that place has a moderating effect on feelings of unsafety. Trust in public institutions is argued to be particularly important in segregated, disadvantaged neighbourhoods because of its potential to prevent feelings of unsafety.

Civil society was defined in various ways. Among others, J. Locke, G.W.F. Hegel and A. de Tockeville presented the most relevant characteristic of what civil society is or could be. For the purpose of the paper we distinct civil society and the state. To the first one we assign spontaneity and diversity, the second we treat as procedural and homogeneous. In the paper we will stand for the thesis: civil society is the nest of virtues and as such characterized plays one of the most prominent parts in contemporary social and political reality. The problem is not that presently civil society does not exist. The problem is that once it was established within the state, it has been developed in such a way that it became a hybrid combined from the state and what could be called apolitical human activity. The core of the problem is that the hybrid is more political than apolitical. To the essence of civil society belong: existence of free associations of any kind, economy free from political coerce as much as it could be and public sphere of opinion, all organized in such a political way that the political power is limited by division of it to three independent institutions: a legislature, an executive and a judiciary and also by the law. A ground for apolitical human social activities was prepared by J. Locke in his political theory. The state is one of possible emanations of apolitical society in the state of nature. Montesquieu expanded such a vision of society that it exists within the state but the state itself is limited by division of political power and civil rights which allow the members of the society to protect their freedom and dignity. Moral civil society we are developing protect the citizens from overwhelming influence of the state and particular egoisms of individuals. As such it promotes moral activity, it brings trust to the public sphere and it protects human dignity.

Trust is one of the central values in social and organisational life. Values are created by particular people or specified social groups. Human resource management in an organisation should therefore establish proper interpersonal relations based on trust. The literature on the subject presents many definitions and statements of researchers, referring to the activities which build trust. Trust building in the organisation is an element connecting employees with the organisation. The role of staff management is to present employee-friendly behaviours and to avoid behaviours which undermine trust. There is therefore an urgent need for trust management in modern organisations.

The aim of this study is to examine how ethics influence students’ cognitive and affective-based trust during COVID-19 pandemic and explore their information seeking activity when faced with limitations learning process. The sample consists of 610 participants through a survey study with Structural Equation Modeling to test the research hypotheses. We found both ethics has positive and significant effect to trust (e.g., cognitive- and affective-based trust), which subsequently positively effects on information seeking among students’ toward Facebook as a tool to promote their activities, The recent study’s has contributed to the academic field shows that Facebook is a tool for communication and interaction with others by seeking information, which ethics and trusts an essential exogenous factor. In practical area, education stakeholders’ should address and identify their students’ to improve their learning performance. Also, it should focus on enhancing the contents and processes of its students’ interactions to foster communication and value propositions in creating unique and valuable experiences.

The aim of this paper is to describe reactions to the refugees crisis in 2015, which occurred in most European countries. On the one hand there was a growth of hostile attitudes toward immigrants coming from North Africa and Islamic countries and on the other hand the growth of right-wing populism. In part I theoretical claims referring to trust, immigration, and populism are presented. It is argued that trust as a type of the social capital relations is an essential “glue” for the existence and development of social systems. Moreover, feelings of similarity and dissimilarity are crucial for social cohesiveness. Part II encompasses conclusions from empirical research on attitudes and social beliefs in Poland and Germany and their comparison. It is argued, that the situation in both countries is different in many respects, but one can see a similarity as well, mainly a growing fear of and hostility against immigrants which are a comprehensible social fact, but also a result of populist right-wing agitation.

The article discusses the problem of challenges for methodology of private law research, connected with border phenomena combining legal and extra-legal issues. The concerns in question are related not solely to the array of applicable instruments of analysis, but also to the fundamental issues of the nature of private law research and possible ways of its discourse with other disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. The remarks upon this questions has been founded upon the analysis of the problem of trust by concluding a contract in a monograph of P. Machnikowski. The article attempts to identify the core aspects of its methodological approach towards legal associations of trust – which may be rated among the aforementioned border questions – and show them against the broader background of private law research. The remarks focus primarly upon the interdisciplinary attitute towards these phenomena, presented in the P. Machnikowski’s monograph. It may be considered as the efficient and prospective way of handling research problems of such a heterogenous nature, providing more thorough perspective than a classical analysis of legal texts. Hence, it may supplement the classical dogmatic method, providing a deepened insight into private law questions with a view to their social context. As the book of P. Machnikowski illustrates, it may help to integrate different legal institutions playing alike or complementary roles in the legal system and to seize their implicit interdependences and functions – not always apparent in terms of dogmatic construction. In this way, the interdisciplinary approach towards private law problems may provide useful practical tips for law-making and judicial interpretation. Last but not least, given this methodological background, the article examines also possible further steps in analysing the problem of trust, sketched by the monograph. It tends primarly to identify more general instruments (for instance, estoppel as a specific case of abuse of rights), which, potentially, could be used to fill gaps in more tailor-made legal mechanisms.

The purpose of this paper is to attract attention to the extent of mobbing, especially in the public sector and to its destructive character. Mobbing reduces the value of human capital because of incurred psychological and health losses. It influences innovation negatively and in consequence leads to lowering the effectiveness of an organization. Negative effects of mobbing may be also seen in the social and individual dimensions. According to Heinz Leymann, abandoning moral norms, wrongly comprehended tolerance are creating a climate for practising different forms of hidden violence and psychical terror. Psychological war of this kind in workplace involves the abuse of power and manipulation. Once it has appeared, it is – as put by M.F. Hirigoyen – like a machine, which set in motion, may smash everything on its way. This asymmetric and destructive interaction can only keep strengthening unless someone from the outside intervenes decisively. Yet, the introduction of the notion of mobbing to labour code does not provide sufficient protection from mobbing in workplace – regulations leave too wide, unfilled space which needs to be filled up with concrete solutions and measures. On one hand, action taken by an organization should have a formal, administrative and organizational character. On the other hand, it should take into account the ethical sphere of an organization’s functioning. It should put special emphasis on the maintenance and the development of integrity, one of the most important dimensions of the conception of trust.

The article brings up the problem of making use of trust in organization management. Modern organizations and the conditions of their functioning enforce some inevitable changes in different areas of their activity. An attempt at adapting to these changes may be shaping trust culture and an opportunity to use this tool in organization management. The article contains elements of trust theory as well as organizational culture theory. It also presents an effort put into defining the guidelines for organization management concerning the trust culture shaping (on the basis of a theoretical model) and positive aspects of trust existing in an organization as well as a possibility of using it in management science as an effective tool.

The article presents the analysis of different factors which are or may be the source of corrupt behaviors among the citizens. The analysis refers to the field of formal actions taken by the services whose goal is to protect broadly understood security of the residents. Psychological sources are then presented, emphasizing the corruption-generating role of the low level of trust and individual competition orientation. The social factors are first of all the mechanism of social comparisons, which can activate the consent to corruption or justify the person's unethical behaviors. Educational factors are also discussed, with consideration of the fact that school is the institution which should properly shape young people's attitudes, making them sensitive to unethical behaviors and providing them with competencies and knowledge connected with the ability to behave in difficult situations. These areas, though apparently distinct, are integral parts of the system and they mutually stimulate or inhibit each other.
