This paper presents a case study from Hungary about the “Nagykunságért” LEADER Local Action Group, which demonstrates the limits of an actor’s involvement in local rural development. Project participation in this region depends on the financial and managerial capacity of participants. Actors with capacity are involved with the project as a matter of course, but those without capacity are crowded out and lack access to resources. Actors in rural development are characterised by their ability to disseminate diverse kinds of information and use of knowledge. Inclusion, exclusion, and the power of local oligarchies are main concepts in this paper, which studies LEADER as a tool which may be used either for democracy or against local democratic control over the distribution of development funds.

In previous research, studies on motivated correction in the evaluation of branded products are rare. This experimental study with 246 participants examined how the motivation to correct the impact of brand knowledge influences the product evaluation of actual strong and weak brands in low and high involvement situations. As predicted, asymmetry between the strong and weak brands was observed. After the induction of the motivation to correction, the smaller brand effect occurred only in the cases of low involvement and the weak (negative) brand. The effect of motivated correction was smaller than the effect of high involvement; therefore, the overall results suggest that conscious explicit motivation to correction evokes correction only in cases of weak brands under certain circumstances. However, this impact is not as strong as the influence of high motivation or a strong brand, even though explicit instructions are given to avoid the negative influence of the brand.

The study reflects on the changes in the attitude of Czech writers towards politics and social events after 1989. Primary renunciation of mutual attachments and overlaps between literature and social life represented namely by Jiří Kratochvil was gradually replaced by a situation typical for the history of the Czech literature in which literary works usually presented an active reflection on political and social events. The process of escaping the “trap of aestheticism” was accompanied by an intense and long-standing dispute on the issue of politically and socially committed literature. In the paper, Milan Kozelka is considered the most noticeable critic of contemporary political events in Czech society.

: Nowe koncepcje zarządzania takie jak Zarządzanie Kapitałem Ludzkim czy Total Rewards wskazują na konieczność kompleksowego oddziaływania motywacyjnego ujmującego zarowno finansowe jak i pozafinansowe czynniki motywacyjne. Pracodawcy, ktorzy rozumieją te wyzwania stwarzają pracownikom możliwości szeroko pojętej partycypacji, co w dalszej mierze przekłada się na wysokie zaangażowanie pracownikow. Celem artykułu jest wyjaśnienie istoty zaangażowania pracowniczego oraz jego głownych determinantow, ze szczegolnym wskazaniem na wolontariat pracowniczy. Na bazie literatury przedmiotu i analizy przypadku wybranej organizacji, wskazane zostaną najważniejsze działania stosowane przez dzisiejsze organizacje, ktore pozytywnie oddziałują na poszczegolne rodzaje zaangażowania pracownikow. Artykuł pozwoli nie tylko na uzupełnienie występującej luki literaturowej, ale rownież na uporządkowanie wiedzy z tego zakresu.

New management concepts such as Human Capital Management or Total Rewards point to the need for a comprehensive motivational impact capturing both financial and non-financial incentives. Employers who understand those challenges create opportunities for employees in broadly understood employee participation, which as a result translates into high employee engagement. The purpose of the article is to explain the essence of engagement with its main determinants, with par- 1) Mgr, Wydział Zarządzania, AGH Akademia Gorniczo-Hutnicza w Krakowie. 80 Wyższa Szkoła Ekonomii i Informatyki w Krakowie ticular reference to employee volunteering.

An airsoft gun (ASG) is a faithful replica of a firearm, as well as, a team game based on the reconstruction of war and the struggle involving the replicas of such weapons. The aim of this study was to determine the conditions of involvement in outdoor recreational airsoft games. The main research problem was the following question: what determines the level of involvement of the airsoft players? The hypothesis formulated in the research process was that an important motive for participation and involvement in the airsoft game is the desire to act like a berserk. The result of the survey conducted on a sample of 100 ASG players stated that the level of their involvement in airsoft is relatively high and, for most of them, it is the most important form of recreational activity. Players mostly participate in individually organized games on a small scale and prefer meeting places that are less frequented and happen to be ruins of buildings. The main motives of the players are: the desire to be with friends, an escape from everyday life, and the desire to experience the survival of the fittest. The results have forced the authors to reject their hypothesis as the motives associated with a sense of the nearness of death received the lowest rank, and did not show a connection with an involvement in airsoft.

Empowerment is one of key management methods in contemporary organizations. The implementation of this method, however, is connected with creation of appropriate organizational conditions. In this article the characteristics of classical function-oriented organizations and contemporary process-oriented ones were presented, then the possibilities of applying empowerment in these organizations were analyzed. Barriers, costs and benefits of empowering employees were identified. The implementation of empowerment proves high competencies of an organization as well as it contributes to their development. Special attention was paid to the speed of making decisions and flexibility of acting and reacting to changing expectations of external and internal customers.

Emerging markets bring out the question of motivation to include of new investors in the market for financial securities often arises. The purpose of this study is to analyze how brands influence the investment intention of young potential investors. Specifically, the relationship between consumer based brand equity - according to Aaker’s multidimensional conceptualization - and investment intention, mediated by perceived risk, is analyzed. The study contributes to the literature in two ways: (1) based on the revision made, no study has analyzed Aaker’s brand equity construct in investment decisions; (2) studies linking brand aspects to investment decisions have not examined the mediating role of perceived risk. Through an experiment, where perceived risk and investment intention in a famous brand were measured as differences from fictitious brands, the following results were found: (1) the investment intention in a famous brand is higher than in a non-famous one, once controlled for risk and return; (2) the higher the brand equity, the lesser the perceived risk of investing in the famous brand, and the higher the investment intention; (3) the perceived quality of a brand’s products was the dimension by which the effect of brand equity is transmitted. Involvement with the investment task and cognitive ability, at an individual level, the relative size of comparable firms, and the risk and return of investment alternatives were introduced as control variables.

Crowdfunding appears to be an innovative way of fundraising various projects. Although it is a relatively new and unique way of financing, competition for potential backers increases every year. While recent works have explored the role of engagement and involvement in crowdfunding, there is still a lack of understanding of how creators can stimulate backers’ activity. Therefore the aim of this paper is to identify and classify the methods used for crowdfunding by the top creators to boost and maintain backer engagement. Drawing from the Theoretical Model of Customer Engagement and Theory of Intrinsically Motivating Instruction, we propose a theoretical model that is backer engagement-based. It presents the unique role of involvement and participation in engagement and its interrelationship with value and community involvement. We investigate the top 30 most funded campaigns on Kickstarter in the tabletop games category. Based on our cross-case study, we identify and categorise tactics that create engagement-friendly environments. Our findings suggest that over time creators tend to focus on shorter but more dynamic campaigns with the higher engagement of backers. The creators of the best campaigns use similar tactics that affect both engagement and involvement. The important but often ignored factor that influences engagement is social interaction.

Contemporary culture offers and constantly enriches many models of life, values, and consumption incentives. Pedagogy is also pluralistic today, rich in currents and trends. Teachers, including academics, face the unavoidable and constant choice between getting involved in the work with students and detachment and autonomy, or rather encouraging young people to choose their own identity and orientation, because all choices are equal. It is necessary to seek a common minimum of formal and material goals of upbringing. One of such formal purposes is that of independent judgment, i.e. the autonomy and the ability to think critically. Human is inseparable from the material; there is a dispute, however, about the components of this category. Recognition of the equality of all cultural discourses leads to nihilism with all its consequences.

In the article the author describes theoretical reasons that stood behind Kołakowski's transition from being an orthodox Marxist to become an actual leader of the polish revisionist movement. His intention is to concentrate on those aspects of Kołakowski's thought that have not changed, apart from any biographical and psychological reasons. (1) First of those features is Kołakowski's inability of completability, the anti-code disposition. (2) The second trait is the moral attitude, an intention to influence on people's morality by convincing them that social and internal (necessarily bound with social) changes are desirable; that an existential calm demolishes morality. (3) Third feature concerns the fact that Kołakowski did not attempt to create his own philosophy, he was rather a historian of ideas, a skeptic, and a critic

PL

W artykule zestawione zostają dwa pierwsze etapy twórczości Leszka Kołakowskiego: marksistowski oraz rewizjonistyczny. Wychodząc naprzeciw pracom, które dotychczas poruszały tę problematykę, autor skupia się na tych przekonaniach polskiego myśliciela, które pozostały niezmienne dla każdego z obu okresów, więcej nawet – które wydały się leżeć u podstaw porzucenia przezeń marksistowskiej dogmatyki. Są to kolejno: (1) systemowa niezakończoność filozofii, jej antykodeksowe nastawienie; (2) potrzeba zaangażowania, związana z pomysłem, że do podstawowych zadań filozofii należy wpływanie na postawy moralne oraz ich odpowiednie kształtowanie; (3) antytetyczność podejścia Kołakowskiego, znajdująca istotny wyraz w przyjmowaniu pozycji błazna, a także konsekwentne nastawienie na negację zastanych propozycji światopoglądowych (tak tradycyjnych jak współczesnych polskiemu myślicielowi).

Engagement and volunteerism are important issues in the area of Human Resource Management. Organized in Krakow in 2016, World Youth Days (WYD) exposed many phenomena related to these areas, creating an interesting research fi eld. This paper identifi es and explains the terminology and concepts existing in the literature that concern engagement and characterizes the volunteering issue in the context of Polish social reality. The article also contains selected fi ndings of a survey conducted among World Youth Days volunteers. Based on it, this paper shows the characteristics of selected relationships and the social and demographic conditions of volunteerism in that specifi c research perspective. Research has shown that, within the volunteers’ groups, it is possible to use professional and modern management methods. Our fi ndings lead to a set of suggestions for team leaders that have the potential of creating a higher level of engagement among participants and may enable better organizational management.

Philosophers have long thought that what differentiates humans from mere animals is that humans are essentially rational. The rational nature of human beings lies in their ability to detach themselves from ongoing involvement and to ask for as well as give reasons for activity. According to the philosophical tradition, human action and perception generally should be understood in light of this ability. This essay examines a contemporary version of this conviction, one promulgated by John McDowell. McDowell follows the tradition in suggesting that people are always able to step back and to ask as well as answer why questions about what they are doing, i.e., they always have reasons for their actions. This essay shows that people have no reasons for many of the things they do. They often, instead, simply respond to shifting situational fields of attraction and repulsion. These attractions and repulsions cannot be captured in propositional form-any attempt to describe, or even just name, them turns them into objects and robs them of their motivational force. The demands of the situation are not available as reasons, but exist only as embodied in actions. McDowell, consequently, errs in claiming that conceptual capacities are inextricably implicated in human activity. Nor is the detached, rational way of being any more essential to human life than is involved coping.

This work aims at exploring the influence of selected factors that have received little attention in the past on ecotourism destination loyalty within the context of a developing country. The factors are destination image, familiarity, information search behaviour, involvement and travel motivation. The research was conducted on ecotourists visiting Malaysia who were approached on site and assisted to complete the survey instrument. The sample size was 813, representing a response rate of 47%. Hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Model. It was found that while there are no linear relationships between the tested variables and destination loyalty, there are findings from the study that offer some managerial implications towards the industry.

The article presents experiments exploring the memory misinformation effect. Subjects heard a recording and afterwards read a description of it, which included, in the misled group, some details inconsistent with the recording; finally thay answered questions about the recording. The aim of the research was to replicate the tainted truth effect, consisting in poor memory functioning of non-misled warned subjects and to check whether a subject’s involvement in the issue moderates this effect. Highly involved subjects were more resistant to the misinformation effect than those lowly involved. In the case of highly involved participants, warning was effective in reducing the misinformation effect, but it also caused more errors in the case of non-misled subjects. Thus, warning witnesses about nonexising discrepancies between what they saw/heard and what they were told, might lead to less accurate testimony.

The reviewed book by Anna Filipowicz entitled (Prze)zwierzęcenia. Poetyckie drogi do postantropocentryzmu is one of the key dissertations analyzing human and animal relations as exemplified by Polish poetry of the 20th and 21st century. The author is innovative in her interpretation of poems by poets considered to be canonical (Anna Świrszczyńska, Tadeusz Różewicz, Marcin Świetlicki, Ryszard Krynicki, Tomasz Różycki, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz and Julian Tuwim), using her knowledge of ethology and natural science. The greatest strength of the dissertation, in the opinion of the reviewer, is the micrological analysis of individual works, enhancing the importance of the detail, due to which the reader receives a compendium of major problems connected with animal emancipation in two time planes (during the Warsaw Uprising and in contemporary times). Filipowicz calls for rejecting stereotypes which so far have enhanced species chauvinism and hierarchical structure in accidental encounters (the case of animals living in zoos and non-urbanized areas) as well as developing interspecies sensitivity. Its manifestations could include, for instance, concern about noticing individual biographies of animals during armed conflicts or preventing the destruction of biotopes. Filipowicz’s work is not only an example of skillful application of methodology bordering on environmental humanities, animal studies and affective studies, but also an important voice in the debate on constructing environmental order and the place/role of animals in human life.

Recenzowana książka Anny Filipowicz (Prze)zwierzęcenia. Poetyckie drogi do postantropocentryzmu jest jedną z kluczowych rozpraw badających związki ludzko-zwierzęce na materiale poezji polskiej XX i XXI wieku. Autorka w sposób innowacyjny odczytuje wiersze poetów uznanych za kanoniczych (Anny Świrszczyńskiej, Tadeusza Różewicza, Marcina Świetlickiego, Ryszarda Krynickiego, Tomasza Różyckiego, Jarosława Marka Rymkiewicza i Juliana Tuwima), wykorzystując wiedzę etologiczną i przyrodoznawczą. Największym atutem rozprawy, zdaniem recenzenta, jest mikrologiczna analiza poszczególnych utworów, dowartościowująca szczegół, dzięki czemu czytelnik otrzymuje kompendium podstawowych problemów związanych z emancypacją zwierząt w dwóch planach czasowych (podczas powstania warszawskiego i w czasach współczesnych). Filipowicz postuluje odrzucenie stereotypów, które do tej pory wzmacniały szowinizm gatunkowy i hierarchiczność w ramach akcydentalnych spotkań (casus zwierząt zamieszkujących ogrody zoologiczne i przestrzenie niezurbanizowane) i wypracowanie wrażliwości międzygatunkowej. Jej przejawami mogłyby być m.in. troska o dostrzeżenie indywidualnych biografii zwierząt w trakcie konfliktów zbrojnych lub zapobieganie niszczeniu biotopów. Rozprawa Filipowicz jest nie tylko przykładem zręcznego aplikowania metodologii z pogranicza humanistyki ekologicznej, animal studies, affective studies, lecz również ważnym głosem w debacie o budowaniu ładu ekologicznego i miejscu/roli zwierząt w życiu człowieka.

Representation of employee interests is addressed, as reflected in the modern human resource management concepts. By attending to the need of respecting employee interests, companies may greatly increase their chances of reaching company business objectives and increase their effectiveness, as a result of improved employee involvement. Direct and indirect expressions of this aspect in modern HRM concepts are discussed. Specifics of local approaches to the realization of employee interests are discussed, based on empirical studies of more than 200 companies operating in the Lower Silesia region of Poland. Based on the study results, the authors demonstrate that the practice of management in the area under study is only in part consistent with the model representations of human resource management, as recommended in professional literature.

Dbałość o respektowanie tych interesów sprzyja realizacji celów przedsiębiorstwa i efektywności osiąganej w wyniku wzrostu zaangażowania zatrudnionych, co pośrednio bądź bezpośrednio zaznacza się w tych koncepcjach. Na tym tle zwrócono uwagę na podejście do realizacji interesów pracowniczych w ponad dwustu przedsiębiorstwach zlokalizowanych na terenie Dolnego Śląska. Na podstawie badań empirycznych wykazano, że praktyka w omawianym zakresie jedynie częściowo nawiązuje do prezentowanych w literaturze przedmiotu, modelowych ujęć zarządzania ludźmi.

W artykule przedstawiono zróżnicowanie przestrzenne absorpcji funduszy unijnych okresu programowania 2007–2013 na poziomie województw. Wykorzystanie środków europejskich omówiono najpierw w układzie programów operacyjnych, a następnie przy zastosowaniu wielkości bezwzględnych (liczby projektów i wartości funduszy) oraz względnych (wartości funduszy na 1 mieszkańca i wartości funduszy na 1 km2). W artykule postanowiono zweryfikować hipotezę, według której w Polsce występują znaczne dysproporcje przestrzenne w wykorzystaniu funduszy unijnych perspektywy finansowej 2007–2013. Najwyższą kwotę funduszy oraz największą liczbę projektów zrealizowano w województwie mazowieckim. Z kolei najwyższą kwotę środków unijnych w przeliczeniu na 1 mieszkańca odnotowano w województwie warmińsko-mazurskim, a w przeliczeniu na 1 km2 – w województwie śląskim. Ponadto w opracowaniu zbadano i określono związek między kształtowaniem się koniunktury gospodarczej w województwach a kwotą wykorzystanych środków wspólnotowych w poszczególnych regionach. Wykorzystanie funduszy unijnych w poszczególnych regionach było istotnie dodatnio skorelowane ze stopą wzrostu PKB. Najwyższe tempo wzrostu PKB zaobserwowano w tych województwach, w których zostało zaangażowanych najwięcej funduszy unijnych, a najniższe tempo wzrostu PKB odnotowano w regionach o najmniejszej absorpcji środków europejskich. Dane statystyczne dotyczące PKB zaczerpnięto z Banku Danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego, natomiast dane dotyczące zaangażowania funduszy unijnych wygenerowano z Listy beneficjentów publikowanej przez Ministerstwo Rozwoju. Z kolei wszystkie opracowania graficzne przygotowano w programie GIS-owskim.

The article presents the spatial differentiation of absorption of EU funds in financial framework 2007–2013 at the level of provinces. At first, the absorption of EU funds was discussed in the system of operational programs, and then – using absolute figures (number of projects and the value of funds) and relative terms (the fund per 1 inhabitant and the value of funds on 1 km2). The article includes the hypothesis that there are the significant spatial disproportions in the use of EU funds of the financial perspective 2007–2013 in Poland. The highest amount of funds and the largest number of projects were implemented in the Masovian province. In turn, the maximum amount of the EU funds per 1 inhabitant was recorded in the Warmia-Masuria province and per 1 km2 – in the Silesia province. In addition, the paper presents the relationship between the evolution of the economic situation in the provinces and the amount of EU funds used in the various regions of Poland. The absorption of EU funds in the particular regions was significantly positively correlated with the rate of growth of GDP. The highest GDP growth rate was seen in those provinces where there has been involved most of EU funds, and the lowest GDP growth recorded in the regions with the lowest absorption of EU funds. Statistical data on the GDP were taken from the Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office and the data on the involvement of EU funds were generated from the list of beneficiaries published by the Ministry of Development. On the other hand, all the graphics were prepared in the GIS program.
