Contemporary times pose many threats to life and health. The type of changes in many areas of human life, e.g. changes in the economy, value loss, consumerism causes unexpected intensification of extreme social problems, e.g. suicides. Suicide is an extremely complex phenomenon in its aetiology, which is a problem not only of individual but also of social pathology. Due to their size, structure and dynamics, and above all the social consequences of suicidal behaviour, suicidal behaviour is an important social problem that cannot remain unnoticed.

During the study authors stated that the main determinant of demoralisation of youth, joining scarfers subcultures, where they act with aggression and brutal violence, are disturbances in the process of their education and socialization. They have presented, in their opinion, the most important factors determining the processes leading to deviant and pathological behaviour of youth, whose negative final is criminal activity. These determinants, in their opinion, are: family environment, school, peer group and negative social background. According to the researchers, occurrence of dysfunction in these areas results in criminalisation of the youth, which takes place in an informal group, which are the scarfers. The authors conclude that it is necessary to start comprehensive programs aimed at improving situation in family, schools, which in addition to implementation of educational process, should focus their attention on pedagogical work. Without taking into account, in a comprehensive way, all of the indicated factors, we cannot achieve the goal of normalisation of environments associated with fans.

The manuscript presents the results of anthropological work in Tell Masiakh, conducted in 2010 season. Unfortunately the 15th season of excavation was conducted only in Tell Masaikh. The second site (Terqa) was closed for the excavation. The human remains were studied in an excavation house in Tell Ashara, and some samples were prepared for further analyses in specialist laboratories (histological, radiological and molecular examination). In sum, the remains of 70 individuals were examined: 18 (2 males, 2 females, the sex of the rest is unknown) come from Tell Masaikh from this season, 52 were found at Tell Masaikh and Tell Ashara in the previous seasons (2008, 2009).

Mobbing is one of the examples of pathology in organization management. In the article, we presented the problem in the perspective of organizational games using the technique of participant observation. The article is not intended to stigmatize the help facility, but to show mobbing as a significant and difficult problem for the victim. It has destructive effects and is difficult to identify and prevent. The authors believe that the article will help to pay attention to the essence of the problem and to notice negative effect.

Controversial religious groups are a phenomenon accompanying the man for a long time. Fascinate, captivate, reflect, inspire. Despite the existence of several works on the unique issues and research related to it constantly raises questions and concerns that are difficult to dispel, for which there is no clear and simple answers. This publication is the result of the author’s thoughts, her personal perspective on this interesting part of social reality. Attention was focused on a few issues which seem to be leading. Firstly, on the possibility of mutual replacing dates sect - controversial religious group. Secondly, on classifying phenomena which are taking place on rich, religious stage. Thirdly, on effects of the stay in groups stirring up controversy, including the use of their unethical practices - the brainwashing and the mind control. The last, fourth dilemma is correlating with the accessibility to forms of this type, rather hermetic of the community and the attitude presented towards them by the researcher which ultimately affect the test result. The article doesn’t exhaust the issues and indeed it can be treated, for the invitation to dialogue, exchanges of the opinions, effects that are essential to the development of science.

The subject treats the problem of social maladjustment widely. on the basis of research carried out on 195 respondents from secondary and primary schools, answers to a dozen or so questions were received. In the presented research, the survey method was used. questions relate to min. addictions, willingness to learn or relationships between peers. The results of the research give a certain image that characterizes the given age group and gender and indicates in what criteria the given element of social pathology or the problem occurs more often. Analyzing the results of the research it can be concluded that many young people’s needs are not met. They are not motivated in an appropriate way. The problem is too frequent alcohol abuse, fewer cigarettes, while the drug problem is practically non-existent. Thanks to questions with open answers, it can be stated that young people ripen unevenly. in a given peer environment there are people who are more mature with a greater perspective of life, planning their future several years ahead, as well as those with smaller requirements and sometimes very basic and everyday needs.

In this article we would like to touch upon the problem of reprehensible practices, pathologies that are present in many economic organizations today. We would like to consider how much unethical behavior should be largely attributed to employees, and how much it is associated with external cultural, organizational and situational factors. With this perspective, the author wants to associate pathologies in the workplace with the rich in associations, synonymous with the word kitsch, which can also be applied to economic and business issues. It is worth emphasizing that kitsch and pathology seem to permeate, and maybe even one of them can result from another. This is a paradox that the author wants to address in this article. The proper tracking of the activities of organizations by their management is the basic form of preventing pathologies in the organization. It is also associated with a significant impact on the economy, because the effectiveness of work is closely related to the problems of anxiety or embarrassment in the workplace. Some researchers may conclude that kitsch, pathology and frustration that leads to professional burnout can often be related to workaholism or even law violations in specific companies. This article is based on the method of critical analysis of literature and the method of deduction in observing behavior in organizations.

Internal sensations, especially organic ones, are not only the foundation of our consciousness of life and self but also an integral part of each feeling. This is probably the origin of the genuine affinity between feelings and consciousness of life and self, an affinity that manifests itself even in speech. Indeed, the ex- pression “sense of self” is more natural than saying “representing” or even “im- agining one’s self”. It is also easier and neater to talk in French about “sentiment du moi” than “representation du moi”; the expression “das Ichgefühl” is less grating than “die Ichvorstellung”, the latter being rather used to mean the con- ceived self as opposed to the self of which one is conscious all the time. The self is not a feeling, however, if only because there are no feelings that would be equally constant or, to be more precise, that would recur with equal constancy. Even so, we can say it is closer to emotive states than to any representation or mental image. [...]

Social capital has the potential, the energy and the value needed for development. The author is one of those who believes that economic capital is a source, a base and a knowl-edge base for all other types of capital: social capital as well as economic capital that can and also should be collected in order to improve the quality of life of individuals, organizations and societies as well. The article aims to organize the collected knowledge about social capital and to present its own methodology and operationalization of its measurement method. The article at-tempts to answer the questions: Is the accumulation of social capital in the organization or in the state justified and necessary? What is the impact on the quality of life in a given soci-ety? The first part of the paper describes the concept of social capital whereas the second part describes the core of its components. In the third part the concept of accumulation of social capital is described and the last one presents the results of measurements of social capital in some countries after 2000. The accepted method of research are own researches conducted in 2000-2010 and critical analysis of the literature.

Wszelkiej działalności organizacyjnej nieustannie towarzyszą zjawiska niepożądane, które przyczyniają się do tego, że cele organizacyjne nie są w pełni osiągane. Te zjawiska i mechanizmy potocznie określa się m.in. przy użyciu takich pojęć, jak: dysfunkcje, patologie, błędy czy niesprawności. Patologią zarządzania jest długotrwała istotna niesprawność w procesach zarządzania organizacją. Przykładowo mobbing może być traktowany jako stan patologiczny, ale również dysfunkcjonalny mechanizm prowadzący do nieprawności organizacji. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie najnowszych sposobów przeciwdziałania patologiom organizacyjnym, w tym mobbingowi. Główną metodą badawczą były nieustrukturalizowane wywiady pogłębione. Przedstawione rozwiązanie opisują konkretne przypadki firm i powody podjęcia takich, a nie innych działań. Autorem części prawnej będzie wieloletni praktyk i twórca podobnych rozwiązań.

Any organizational activity is constantly accompanied by side effects which contribute to the fact that organizational goals are not fully achieved. These phenomena and mechanisms are commonly defined as Using terms such as dysfunctions, pathologies, errors or malfunctions. Management pathology is a long-lasting significant malfunction in organizational management processes. For example, mobbing can be treated as a pathological condition, but also a dysfunctional mechanism leading to organizational malpractice. The aim of this article is to present the latest methods of counteracting organizational pathologies, including mobbing. The main research method was unstructured in-depth interviews. The solution describes specific cases of companies and the reasons for such and not other actions. The author of the legal part will be many years of practice and the creator of similar solutions.

In the first half of the 1970s Witold Kieżun, basing on the contributions of the Polish school of praxiology, presented his theory of pathology of organization. Recently in the book on pathology of transformation he attempted — in my view, unsuccessfully — to apply this theory to the analysis and evaluation of the process of systemic and especially economic transformation in Poland. In this paper I try to present apartial critique of his position. First, the theory of pathology organization, that is reconstructed in the first chapter of his last book, is largely incompatible with market conditions and as such it impedes the understanding of the working of organizations within the framework of market calculative environment — because of it I point to some defects of the said theory. Second, this theory has little in common with later description of pathology of transformation, that is based not on the theory of praxeology, but on the ideology of neocolonialism — therefore I present also acritique of basic propositions of this ideology. Third, Iindicate, basing on some case studies, that Kieżun’s selection of data in the description of privatization processes is largely biased — consid­ering the wider context allows us to understand that the scale of “pathologies” during privatization had to be much smaller than is suggested in the book. Fourth, Ipoint out that vague alternative pre­sented by Kieżun does not take into account the realities of transformation, although — as is implied in many passages of the book — he was well aware of them.

W artykule zostanie przedstawiony przypadek wpływu dysfunkcji zarządzania wiedzą na konkurencyjność polskiej firmy działającej na rynkach międzynarodowych. Opisane zostaną czynniki rozwoju oraz regresji organizacji wynikające ze sposobu jej zarządzania. Zostaną zdiagnozowane dysfunkcje zarządzania wiedzą oraz ich wpływ na udział w sprzedaży na wybranych rynkach zagranicznych omawianej firmy. W badaniu zostały wykorzystane metody mieszane - wywiady oraz analiza dokumentacji wewnętrznej przedsiębiorstwa. Patologia w organizacji wg W. Kieżuna określa się "względnie trwałą niesprawność, która powoduje marnotrawstwo, w sensie ekonomicznym i (lub) moralnym przekraczające granice społecznej tolerancji" (Kieżun, 2012: 16). Natomiast dysfunkcje zarządzania to zjawiska mające negatywny wpływ na określony system społeczny. Skutkiem długotrwałego oddziaływania dysfunkcji w organizacjach może być stan patologiczny. R. Stocki twierdzi, iż "patologią jest każda dysfunkcja w organizacji; taka, która nie pozwala na osiągniecie realistycznych, wyznaczonych dla danej organizacji i zgodnej z dobrem społecznym celów w zakładanym czasie i przy określonych środkach" (Stocki, 2005: 49).

This article presents a case of the impact of the knowledge management’s dysfunction on the competitiveness of Polish company that is operating on the international markets. It also describes the factors of development and regression of the organization caused by the way of its management. The purpose of the article is also to diagnose knowledge management’s dysfunctions and their impact on the share in sales on selected foreign markets of the presented company. During the research work so called mixed research methods were applied – such as interviews and analysis of the internal documentation of the company. Pathology in the organization by W. Kieżun is defined as “relatively permanent disability, which causes a waste in the economic and (or) moral sense that exceeds the limits of social tolerance” (Kieżun, 2012: 16). Whereas management’s dysfunctions are a kind of phenomenon having a negative impact on a definite social system. The result of the prolonged exposure to dysfunction in organizations may appear as a pathological condition. R. Stocki says that “pathology is any dysfunction in the organization; the one that does not allow to achieve – realistic, designated for the organization and in accordance with a social good – aims, in the defined time and with specific measures” (Stocki, 2005: 49).

The picturesque landscape and tourist assets make Warmia and Masuria one of the most attractive regions in Poland. The area is commonly referred to as the “green lungs of Poland” and the “land of a thousand lakes”. Nonetheless, Warmia and Masuria rank among the poorest regions of Poland. The unemployment rate is the highest in Poland. Transport infrastructure (road and rail) is poorly developed. The tourism-oriented profile contributes to poor development of industry and commerce. Social and demographic problems to a considerable extent impact and determine the level of security of local communities. As demonstrated by research, safety and unemployment link with other social pathologies.

The article refers to the phenomena of cynicism and hypocrisy existing in the political space, in particular paying attention to the perception of the phenomena by research and, first and foremost, by societies. Cynicism and, above all, hypocrisy are inextricably connected to politics. In the article, a special place is devoted to the conceptualization of normality related to the aforementioned cynicism and hypocrisy, which are also subjects of analysis. An issue was taken up of not only the pathological nature of the phenomena, but also positive sides were pointed out which allow for applying other than a negative evaluation of their mechanisms. These considerations are accompanied by examples related both to historic and modern times, being only an exemplification of the formulated theses, in particular, the thesis of a thin line between what we consider as a negative aspect and what we recognize as having positive aspects. Secondly, it looks at how the phenomena of cynicism and hypocrisy can be relativized depending on the so-called point of view. Thirdly, it is discussed how interesting psychological and social phenomena are attitudes and behaviours of individuals and large social groups, very often unaware of the importance of their activities. However, it needs to be admitted that sometimes we encounter individuals (not only in politics) who use these means deliberately. Most frequently, hypocrites and authors of cynical behaviours are exposed by their social environment.

Rozważania rozpoczynają dywagacje nad rolą kapitału ludzkiego w funkcjonowaniu organi-zacji w warunkach gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Na tym tle jest przedstawiona kultura organizacyjna jako determinanta rozwoju kapitału ludzkiego. Bowiem istotność kultury organizacyjnej jako znaczącego elementu kształtującego poziom zasobów niematerialnych wymusza wzrost zainteresowania problematyką panujących w jej obszarze dewiacji. Stąd właściwy punkt wyjścia w opracowaniu stanowi teoretyczna synteza literatury w zakresie identyfikacji potencjalnych obszarów dysfunkcji i patologii w sferze kultury organizacyjnej. Kolejno zaprezentowano kulturę organizacyjną jako źródło dewiacji na poziomie indywidualnym, grupowym i systemu. Zasadnicza część pracy dotyczy więc analizy patologii samej kultury organizacyjnej w kontekście jej funkcji i typów oraz uwarunkowań gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Wychodząc od klasyfikacji wymiarów patologii organizacyjnych R. Stockiego w postaci ob-szaru łatwo dostrzegalnych objawów patologii organizacyjnych, zjawisk patologicznych związanych z osobami kierującymi samymi organizacjami, nieprawidłowości operacji i procesów oraz patogennego oddziaływania środowiska organizacji zaproponowano zestaw wybranych obszarów potencjalnych dysfunkcji w sferze kultury organizacyjnej, a także bazując na klasyfikacji funkcji kultury organizacyjnej Ł. Sulkowskiego przedstawiono płaszczyzny potencjalnych jej dewiacji. Finalnie zidentyfikowano teoretyczne symptomy wyłaniających się dysfunkcji kultury organizacyjnej. W ten sposób zaproponowano instrumentarium empirycznej analizy i diagnozy badanego zjawiska. W tym kontekście zaprezentowano wyniki pilotażowych badań empirycznych zidentyfikowanych dysfunkcji w organizacjach w Polsce.

Considerations start agonizing over the role of human capital in the organization’s functio-ning in knowledge-based economy. Against this background, the organizational culture as a determinant of human capital development is presented. Because the importance of organizational culture as a significant element of one level of intangible resources forces the increased interest in issues prevailing in the area of its deviance. Therefore appropriate starting point of this paper is a synthesis of the theoretical literature on the identification of potential areas of dysfunction and pathology in the sphere of organizational culture. Then the organizational culture is presented as a source of deviation at the individual, group and system level. The main part of the work concerns the analysis of the pathology of the same organizational culture in the context of its functions and the types and conditions of the knowledge economy. Starting from the classification of the dimensions of organizational pathology by R. Stocki in the form of area of easily noticed symptoms of organizational pathology, pathological phenomena associated with the organization’s managers, irregularities operations and processes and pathogen environmental impact of the organization a set of selected areas of potential dysfunction in the sphere of culture is proposed. Basing on Ł. Sułkowski’s classification of organizational culture functions areas of potential deviations are discussed. Finally theoretical symptoms of emerging dysfunctions of organizational culture are identified. In this way the instruments of empirical analysis and diagnosis of the studied phenomenon are proposed. In this context results of pilot empirical studies of identified dysfunctions in organizations in Poland are discussed.
