Feature of oeuvre of Marina Tsvetaeva – the predominance of the motive of death. Henry Gorchakov discovers this topic in sixty percent of the poet’s works of M.Tsvetaeva. Naturally, reflections on death are accompanied by reflections on life. The article analyzes the peculiarities of development of Tsvetaeva’s work of another constant motive – the motive of life, the concept of which is found out in a complex metaphysical context of thinking. Particular attention is paid to the diversity of approaches to understanding life and their changes. At the same time, the poet does not develop his own philosophy of life, focusing on the world of experiences, on the one hand, or on a holistic and volatile reality, on the other.

The paper aims at determining the differences in self-evaluation of the motives for playing online video games among university students. The presence of differences between the two genders was built on the assumption that in our cultural environment various gender roles, such as rebellion, non-conformity and refusal to comply with norms, are more typical of the male gender role, and also when it comes to playing online video games. The results of the survey have shown that there are differences between female and male students concerning the motives for playing online video games, which suggests the need to record these indicators, in particular the negative ones, within the university environment.

In this article the authoress has presented the understanding of the good as the motive for human action on the basis of the position of M. A. Krąpiec. At the beginning, the authoress has concentrated on an analysis of the fact of action, which includes three major factors: the end, the exemplar, and the efficient cause. The good-end here performs the most essential function. The good-end is the motive due to which action has come into existence rather than not. That “which throws” man “out of passivity” to action is described as the motive that appears as the good. In the next part of the article, the good is presented as a fundamental transcendental property of being. The connection of being with the good shows that the world that surrounds us is a world of goods, that is, of beings ordered to the will of a maker or of the Creator. The transcendental good thus understood constitutes the foundation for all action. In the final part of the article, an analysis is made of the functions that are shown by the good that constitutes the motive for action. The first of these functions is the cognitive apprehension of the good understood in the context of the end—the motive of action. At the end, the domains of goods are listed, in which the ontic good, which is a transcendental property of being, plays the most important role.

The fact that a lot of people in Poland travel by car creates a lot of different business opportunities for the retail sector. Petrol stations are among various entities that attempt to take advantage of this situation. The main purpose of this article is to identify and assess the behaviour of petrol station customers in Poland regarding their motivations for choosing particular facilities and their non-fuel purchases.The study is based on results of a CAWI survey of 603 customers. To make sure that sample was representative, its composition was controlled in terms of the following respondent variables: sex, age, size of the town of residence and province. Consumer behaviour can be affected by a number of factors but only some of them could be addressed in the study, which can be regarded as one of its biggest limitations. Nevertheless, the results provide an interesting insight on this topic. The main contributions of the study include the creation of a typology of petrol stations, identification and assessment of consumer motives for selecting a given facility and information about non-fuel purchases made by customers. The most frequent motives for selecting a given petrol station include convenient location, brand, and the price of petrol and other products. In addition to fuel, customers usually stop to buy coffee and fast food, alcoholic beverages and basic groceries. The authors discuss statistically significant differences between different types of petrol stations in the above mentioned respects. The results of the survey can be of interest to owners of petrol stations as guidance on how to adjust their marketing strategies, especially in terms of the composition of their offering.

The Action–Trait theory of human motivation posits that individual differences in predispositional traits of action may account for variance in contemporary purposeful human behavior. Prior research has supported the theory, psychometric properties of scales designed to assess the motive dimensions of the theory, and the utility of these scales to predict an array of behaviors, but this is the first study to evaluate the cross-linguistical invariance of the 15-factor theoretical model. This study evaluated translations of the English language 60-item Quick AIM in 5 samples – Croatian (N = 614), French (N = 246), German (N = 154), Polish (M = 314), and U.S. English (N = 490) – recruited from 4 countries (Croatia, Poland, Switzerland, and the U.S.). Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) supported the theoretical model on which the traits of action are based and scrutinized the measurement invariance (configural, metric, scalar invariance) of the scale across the languages.

Motivation represents a foundation cornerstone on which analyses in a number of humanities and social sciences are built. For a long time, economists have seen motivation as connected with the act of giving, trying to interpret it in the context of the neoclassical economics assumptions. The objective of this paper is to find answers to the question of what mainly motivates the Czech population in their decisions to make a donation and whether there is any interdependence among such motives. We also ask what the relationship is between the determining motives and the rate or frequency of donating. The donation models that we analyze and use as the basis of our research are nowadays considered being the principal or at least interesting donation models commonly taken into account by economists in their work. We have only focused on selected microeconomics models to make the text clearly targeted; specifically, we are examining the public goods model, private consumption model investment model and impure altruism model. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey and analysed by means of mathematical-statistical methods that are commonly used in similar cases, such as descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient and the ANOVA method based on the F-test. The empirical testing confirmed several assumptions connecting with this type of a research; however, our paper opened a space for a follow-up research, too.

The text describes the values that are currently implemented in hospice volunteer service under consideration as per the theory of the symbolic dimension of collective action proposed by Donatello della Porta and Marco Diani. The values are presented from the two perspectives: motives mobilizing volunteers to get involved, the most important key in voluntary work and descriptions and interpretations of hospice volunteering by those in charge: coordinators and leaders of the movement. The method was used in order to display the current values of hospice volunteer movement and compare them with the ideology of the movement at the beginning of its formation in Poland. The data used for the analysis comes from my own research concluded in two palliative and hospice centers. Analysis of the transformation of values in hospice volunteer service shows the emergence of new motives to take action, for example, experience of illness, death of a family member and support received from the hospice, and elevation of self perceived value. A service to a person in need, charity, especially in the rhetoric of promoting hospice volunteering fades slowly. Leaders of hospice centers show voluntary service as a way of life, the purpose-making factor, and the possibility to develop people-to-people contacts. The added value of the text is extending the analysis to other areas of voluntary activity, drawing attention to the aspect of values and motivation. A more in-depth analysis on the subject matter would be of value and would furthermore help to determine key human values (selflessness, charity, and the will to help fellow man) surrounding the issue.

The article analyzes the views on the problem of motivation. The research has been made on the existing approaches, concerning the formation of educational motivation of pupils. The article discloses the notion of motivation, in particular training, highlights the content and leading group of motives. The conditions of formation of educational motivation are characterized. The peculiarities of creating a situation of success in educational activity as subjective mental state meet as a result of overcoming physical or mental stress. For a better transition to the new system of education, which is aimed at developing students’ desire to learn, to achieve their objectives, the priority task is to develop students’ interest and generate positive motivation to learn. The analysis of the literature shows that in a modern psychology and pedagogy there is no unity in the essence of definition of the concept of motivation. Motivation is a multidimensional form of individual motives, needs, goals, intentions, interests, ideals and values. The learning motivation consists of several motives that are constantly changing and enter the new connections with each other. Motivation is one of the most important conditions that ensures the successful development of students’ knowledge, serves them a source of new information and understanding, its language development and self-understanding of the material. There are different approaches to the definition of the essence of motivation that generate different interpretation of motive. Motive is the most important part of the motivational sphere of a person, is the real motivation that causes people to act in certain situations, under certain conditions. The efficiency of educational activity directly depends on the motives, which impulse the primary school children to activity and determine its aspiration. The teacher should develop the motives of education for generating the interest and positive motivation for learning activities. For the formation of educational motives it is important to use situations of cognitive novelty, educational games, educational discussions, cognitive contradictions, a variety of analogies, create situations of success and so on. Forming a positive motivation, the teacher not only develops interest and responsible attitude to teaching in the primary school children, but also contributes to a desire to achieve high results, feel themselves a successful person.

The article examines moral responsibility as a specific subjective-objective phenomenon of oral folk art using the example of folklore non-ritual lyric-epic texts. It is analyzed the conceptual dilemma of responsibility – irresponsibility and its role in implementing the functions of oral traditional culture. The authors focus on the correlation between the concepts of individual and social responsibility. In addition, the problem of social responsibility as an evident form of the relations between the individual and society driven by the need to comply with coexistence rules is actualized. Folk consciousness accumulates knowledge about responsibility as one of the forms of social relations, which objectively exists, is reflected in the psychological and spiritual aspects, and hence is an internal (towards oneself) and external (towards the community and humanity as a whole) manifestation of responsibility. Essential characteristics and forms of textualization of moral responsibility in folk songs are outlined: every time a practical act is compared with a proper one in real life, i.e., a moral ideal, through the reflection of the characters of a folklore work and the manifestation of behavior in a particular life situation. It is established that morality in oral literature appears simultaneously as a regulatory structure and a system of meanings of the subject and society as a whole. The imperativeness inherent in the belief system of a traditional work becomes not only a statement of a particular position but also a request for understanding the idea of life purpose at the author-audience level. The tragic event reinterpreted by folk consciousness transfers the axiological content of the depicted act to the collective memory. The essence of the responsibility–irresponsibility dilemma unfolds through a specific human reality. The analysis of non-ritual lyric-epic songs highlights a crucial axiom: moral responsibility is, first of all, the affirmation of the view of life, beliefs, and principles of a person who perceives these moments as own, imagined, and suffered. Having separated temptations of the empirical world, the essential from the insignificant, a person isolates the dominant landmarks of their existence, often leveling out the possibility of personal happiness, acting for the benefit of others. A folklore work conceives the relevance of individual and social consciousness since the depicted folk event raises the current problem to the level of collective comprehension, highlighting the imperative of human life value.

Professor Jerzy Pelc was the creator and long-time manager of the Department of Logical Semiotics, University of Warsaw. He also founded the Polish Society of Semiotics. He published six own books, among others Studies in Functional Logical Semiotics of Natural Language (1971; in English); he edited also dozens of volumes of Semiotic Studies and Library of Semiotic Thought.  As Kotarbiński, his master, and Twardowski, the master of his master, Professor Pelc was a radical rationalist. This radical rationalism has linked him to atheism, anti-communism, a distance to politics, and a frown on the falsehood of public life. He was a great patriot – in his life and in his work. He considered himself a successor of the Lvov-Warsaw School tradition. In the field of metaphysics, Professor Pelc combined theoretical minimalism with anti-rationalist attitudes, including the postulate of precision and the requirement of criticism. The main field of his interest was logical – and broader: theoretical – semiotics. He advocated and largely developed the functional concept of signs. To traditional paradigms of research: historical, teleological, causal and prognostic ones – Professor Pelc has added a semiotic paradigm, determined by the question “What does it mean that p?”. Referring to the interdisciplinary fashion for interdisciplinary research, he conducted an analysis of the notion of interdisciplinarity. In ontology, he analyzed the notions of object and causality. In his approach, aesthetics was treated form a semiotic point of view: he sought mainly ways to logically rewrite its terminology. In particular, he reconstructed the main aesthetic notions: form and ideology (of literary works), theme, motive, metaphor and (literary) fiction – as well as semiotic notions essential to the description of literary arts, namely the notions of assertion and intensionality. In the field of ethics, Professor Pelc declared himself as an advocate of the ideal of trustworthy guardian, which he took over from his teacher, Kotarbiński. In metaethics, he analyzed the notions of norm, evaluation and humanity. A master of Polish: beautiful Polish – he was certainly a true humanist.

Based on a critical analysis of the literature, the theoretical part of the paper presents the essence and basic classifications of the motives for internationalisation of a company’s activity. Attention is drawn to the opinion that companies use internationalisation as a tool for achieving a specific overriding goal meaning an increase in sales and profit and in the company value. It should be noted, however, that in practice there is usually a multiplicity of goals (e.g. winning new markets, maintaining or building a competitive position, etc.). At the same time, it is indicated that there are different classifications of detailed motives including internal and external stimuli, as well as active and reactive ones. Regardless of the adopted classification, it may be assumed that individual motives are an important element of shaping the company’s strategy for growth and gaining the competitive edge in the international environment. While the issue of motives for a company’s internationalisation is exhaustively described in the theoretical aspect in the literature on international management, there are very few up-to-date and comprehensive empirical studies on the role and importance of individual motives in the process of internationalisation of Polish companies. This research gap is filled in the empirical part of the paper, which presents the results of own empirical studies aiming to identify and characterise the motives for internationalisation of Polish production companies. The research was conducted using the postal survey method. The results point to the dominant significance of market and institutional/systemic motives in the process of internationalisation of the surveyed companies. Resource and cost motives come next. The identified motives for internationalisation have a complementary nature. Mutual feedback exists among them enhancing the tendency to internationalise the company’s activity.

W części teoretycznej artykułu – na podstawie krytycznej analizy literatury przedmiotu – przedstawiono istotę i podstawowe klasyfikacje motywów internacjonalizacji (umiędzynarodowienia) działalności przedsiębiorstwa. Zwrócono uwagę na pogląd, zgodnie z którym przedsiębiorstwo poprzez internacjonalizację dąży do osiągnięcia określonego nadrzędnego celu w postaci zwiększenia sprzedaży i zysku oraz wartości firmy. Wspomnieć trzeba, że w praktyce zazwyczaj mamy do czynienia z wielością celów (np. zdobycie nowych rynków lub utrzymanie bądź zbudowanie pozycji konkurencyjnej). Jednocześnie wskazano na istnienie różnorodnych klasyfikacji motywów szczegółowych, wśród których można wymienić podział na bodźce wewnętrzne i zewnętrzne oraz aktywne i reaktywne. Bez względu na przyjętą klasyfikację można przyjąć, że poszczególne motywy stanowią ważny element kształtowania strategii rozwoju i budowania przewagi konkurencyjnej przedsiębiorstwa w międzynarodowym otoczeniu. O ile zagadnienie motywów internacjonalizacji przedsiębiorstwa jest wyczerpująco opisane w aspekcie teoretycznym w literaturze przedmiotu z zakresu zarządzania międzynarodowego, to niewiele jest aktualnych i kompleksowych opracowań przedstawiających rolę i znaczenie poszczególnych motywów w procesie internacjonalizacji polskich przedsiębiorstw na podstawie badań empirycznych. Powyższa luka badawcza zostaje wypełniona w części empirycznej artykułu. Przedstawiono w niej wyniki własnych badań, mających na celu identyfikację i charakterystykę motywów internacjonalizacji polskich przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych. W badaniach wykorzystano metodę ankiety pocztowej. W wyniku badań stwierdzono dominujące znaczenie motywów rynkowych i instytucjonalno-systemowych w procesie internacjonalizacji ankietowanych przedsiębiorstw. W dalszej kolejności znalazły się motywy zasobowe i kosztowe. Zidentyfikowane motywy internacjonalizacji mają charakter komplementarny, istnieją pomiędzy nimi sprzężenia zwrotne wzmacniające skłonność do umiędzynarodowienia działalności przedsiębiorstwa.

Hume’s view that the object of moral feeling is a natural passion, motivating action, causes problems for justice. There is apparently no appropriate natural motive, whilst, if there were, its “partiality” would unfit it to ground the requisite impartial approval. We offer a critique of such solutions as that the missing non-moral motive is enlightened self-interest (Baier), or that it is feigned (Haakonssen), or that it consists in a just disposition (Gauthier). We reject Cohon’s postulation of a moral motive for just acts, and also Harris’s attempt to dispense with motive as the source of their merit, by invoking extensive sympathy, and citing their beneficial societal consequences. These solutions assume that, if Hume remains a virtue ethicist, the natural virtues supply the paradigm. Taylor claims that a revolution in motivational psychology follows the inauguration of the artificial convention of justice, remoulding the natural virtues. This solution founders, we argue, upon unresolved contradictions besetting even these virtues

The motive of “a-Russian-at-a-rendez-vous” and his type of hero is entrenched in the creative memory of Russian literature and culture as an initially complicated socially and literary phenomenon by its very nature. Transformations of this motive in the national literature and cultural process often lead to paradoxical results and require new research methods. This determines the relevance and productivity of the extrapolation and adaptation of the theory ideas of Russian formalism, Siberian school (E. Romodanovskaya, V. Tupa, I. Silantev) and S. Bocharov, U. Bibler. The motive of “a-Russian-at-a-rendez-vous” for the Russian pre-revolutionary intelligentsia becomes the symbol indecision, irresponsibility, internal confusion, weakness, selfishness, insecurity, and the doom to be spiritual wanderers (D. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky). These heroes are torn, thirsty and live with high ideas, ideals, and the remaining speculative, projectors and senseless projects. The stories of Panteleimon Romanov Vision and Without bird cherry have been written and published in the mid–1920s. In these stories, there is a paradox and collision of national identity, its cultural, ideological, psychological, moral and ethical, value constants and the emerging Soviet ideology, everyday life. This collisions most brightly, sharply and boldly are appearing through “inner life and history” the motive of “a-Russian-at-a-rendez-vous”. The essence this collisions can articulate so. Literary heroes different in their ideological convictions, character and worldviews equally turn out to be internally dependent on meanings and mental orientations set by the literary and social the motive of “a-Russian-at-a-rendez-vous”. The value, semantic, psychological, socio-cultural, moral and moral features and properties of this motive, generated by the national consciousness, formed and fed by the creative and cultural memory of the verbal and cultural process, are stronger than the ideological and historical specifics of any era. The stories of P. Romanov turn out to be yet another proof that the motive of “a-Russian-at-a-rendez-vous” is both a constant of the national literary and cultural tradition, and part of the social national mythology, manifested through a work of art.

Artykuł rozważa, w jaki sposób autorzy współczesnych dramatów o sowieckiej przeszłości modelują minioną rzeczywistość. Trzy różne strategie autora podyktowane są nie tylko przepaścią pokoleniową, ale także pragmatycznymi zadaniami do rozwiązania na scenie Jeśli sztuka Kapsuła czasu Nikołaja Kolady przesiąknięta jest nostalgiczno-sentymentalnym patosem i przeznaczona jest dla pewnego kręgu widzów tęskniących za dawną młodością, to Julia Tupikina miała za zadanie napisać na zamówienie sztukę o historii budowy Brackiej elektrowni wodnej Teatru Dramatycznego miasta Brack i Jarosława Pulinowicza w „Niekończącym się kwietniu” na temat historycznej, powtarzalnej traumy. .

В статье рассмотрено, каким образом авторы современных пьес о советском прошлом моделируют ушедшую реальность. Три разных авторских стратегии диктуются не только поколенческим разрывом, но и теми прагматическими задачами, которые предстоит решить на сцене. Если пьеса Капсула времени Николая Коляды пронизана ностальгическо-сентиментальным пафосом и рассчитана на определенный круг зрителей, тоскующих по ушедшей молодости, то перед Юлией Тупикиной стояла задача написать пьесу об истории строительства Братской ГЭС по заказу драматического театра города Братска, а Ярослава Пулинович в Бесконечном апреле обратилась к теме исторической повторяющейся травмы. В результате обнаруживается, что в этих трех пьесах авторы строят сюжет как попытку героев метафорически вернуться в прошлое, но она заведомо обречена на провал.

The paper focuses on how modern playwrights portray the reality of the Soviet past which does not exist any longer. The choice of different approaches is not solely determined by the generation gap; it also depends on the practical purpose that a play is to fulfill on stage. For example, Nikolai Kolyada’s Time Capsule is nostalgic and sentimental in order to appeal to the viewers that long for the long-passed time when they were young. Yulia Tupikina had a specific task to write a play about building the Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station ordered by the Bratsk Drama Theater, while Yaroslava Pulinovich’ Endless April focuses on the historical repeating trauma. What do these different texts and authors have in common?
