Objective: The aim of our study is to identify ways of counteracting burnout by employers, and employers’ support for workers affected by burnout as indicated by young people setting out in their professional careers. Research Design & Methods: The framework was developed with the use of qualitative methodology. Focus group interviews (FGI) were used as the research method. The study was conducted in Poland among five groups. Findings: Young people are aware of burnout and its effects. They can propose several ways to prevent burnout on their own, but they acknowledge that they may be insufficient to fully cope with the problem, particularly if they operate in an environment conducive to burnout, or where the employer does not take active measures to prevent burnout. Implications / Recommendations: Burnout is a real threat to humans and causes numerous problems for enterprises. The article contains recommendations regarding the expectations young people have of employers and their support for employees affected by burnout. Contribution: The study contributes to and expands the knowledge about burnout in education and professional contexts and organisational prevention methods from the perspective of young people.
目的:本研究的目的是确定雇主应对职业倦怠的方法,以及雇主对职业倦怠影响的工人的支持,这表明了年轻人在他们的职业生涯中。研究设计&;方法:采用定性研究方法,建立研究框架。本研究采用焦点小组访谈法(Focus group interview, FGI)。这项研究在波兰进行,分为五组。研究发现:年轻人意识到职业倦怠及其影响。他们可以提出几种方法来防止自己的职业倦怠,但他们承认,他们可能不足以完全应对这个问题,特别是如果他们在一个有利于职业倦怠的环境中工作,或者雇主没有采取积极措施防止职业倦怠。启示/建议:职业倦怠是对人类的真实威胁,给企业带来了许多问题。这篇文章包含了关于年轻人对雇主的期望以及他们对受职业倦怠影响的员工的支持的建议。贡献:本研究从年轻人的角度对教育和职业背景下的职业倦怠和组织预防方法的知识进行了贡献和扩展。

Purpose: One of the fundamental ways to strengthen supply chains is by shortening them. This can be reflected in the degree of utilization of chains for exports and imports. This is crucial for efficient supply chain management as it enables simpler and faster logistics operations. However, on the other hand, comparative advantages, resource localization, and cost considerations may lead management decisions to refrain from significant supply chain shortening on a larger scale. Additionally, the increasing level of digitalization in the logistics industry, which supports supply chains, also contributes to this perspective. The purpose of this study is, therefore to examine the extent to which recent crisis situations have influenced the exchange of exports and imports, categorized by short, medium, and long supply chains. The Polish economy has been chosen as a reference for this analysis. Design/methodology/approach: Statistical methods based on time-series analysis were employed in this research. Findings: Despite the crises, supply chains have not been shortened. It can be observed that in the long term, as well as in the post-pandemic period, there has been a shift in the structure of supply chains towards longer chains, particularly noticeable in import dynamics. The reason why supply chain shortening for the purpose of enhancing resilience is not evident in the data, despite many declarative statements about this approach in empirical research, has been indicated. Research limitations/implications: The formulated arguments in favor of supply chain lengthening should be confirmed through research in various economies. Practical implications: The importance of this article lies in providing management decision- making suggestions, particularly regarding supply sources. Social implications: The establishment of shorter supply chains is crucial for environmental sustainability and meeting customer needs. Originality/value: Research in this field is often conducted in an aggregated form, without differentiating between various supply chain lengths. In this article, we have taken these factors into account. Keywords: supply chain management, international trade, pandemic, reshoring, resilience. Category of the paper: research paper.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find out the needs of co-opetition network members in the building material market, under the conditions of the TUNA organisational environment. Design/methodology/approach: In order to test the research hypotheses, an empirical research method was applied, involving a standardised interview questionnaire carried out using the CAPI technique among the companies associated in the “Stropy.pl” co-opetition network. The survey involved 53 respondents. Findings: Under the conditions of the TUNA organisational environment, there occurred differences in assessments of the economic situation in the building material market by the members of the coopetition network. Differences in assessments of the economic situation in the building material market have a moderate to large positive impact on the differentiation of needs of the members of the co-opetition network. Improving the quality of panel floors was more important for those who expected a moderate or high economic situation compared to those who were very or little optimistic. On the other hand, those who were very or little optimistic paid more attention to the clarity of communication, more frequent contact with the head office and new materials regarding the cooperation with “Stropy.pl”. In contrast, those who expected moderate or high economic situation were more appreciative of the improved sales availability of panel floors and the personalisation of fittings. Research limitations/implications: In order to obtain a more complete picture of the needs of the building material market in Poland, in the context of the TUNA organisational environment, it is recommended to conduct further research with the participation of end- users of these materials. Practical implications: The applicability of the study relates to the possibilities for company managers to use knowledge about the needs of members of a co-opetition network in the building material market, in the context of the TUNA organisational environment. Originality/value: The conclusions of the study made it possible to identify the correlation between the TUNA organisational environment, causing discrepancies in assessments of the economic situation in the building material market, and the needs of members of a co-opetition network. Conducting considerations in relation to the building material industry market further enhances the originality of the study. Keywords: co-opetition, organisational environment, TUNA, building material market. Category of the paper: research paper.

Purpose: This paper aimed to examine what the most important initiatives and sustainable development goals are visible in the activities of sustainable development universities (SDUs), where sustainable development issues are considered a priority in the opinion of students from in total 10 countries around the world, and how this affects the awareness and involvement of students, the main stakeholders of SDUs. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted among students at universities using the CAWI questionnaire in 2022. In the further part of the work, a statistical study was carried out using the non-parametric Pearson's Chi-square test for 2 × 2 tables and the PQStat 1.8 program from PQStat Software. Findings: The study showed that students positively perceive initiatives and sustainable development goals at universities and actively participate in them, especially at public universities. Moreover, research has shown that the university's efforts towards sustainable development increase students' awareness and involvement in sustainable development, contributing to creating a more sustainable future and "Society 5.0". Research limitations/implications: The study focused on the association between university initiatives and students' awareness and involvement, but it cannot establish a causal relationship. There might be other factors influencing students' engagement that were not explored in this research. Furthermore, the study primarily focuses on students, thereby excluding the perspectives and involvement levels of other stakeholders such as faculty, staff, and local communities. Understanding the views of these groups is critical for a more comprehensive assessment of SDUs' impact on sustainable development. Practical implications: The article can guide universities on what sustainable development activities students need and how universities can achieve sustainable development goals. Originality/value: The article fills the gap in the analysis of how the activities undertaken by sustainable development universities in the field of sustainable development affect the awareness and involvement of students. Keywords: managing sustainable development, sustainable development universities, CAWI survey, awareness. Category of the paper: research paper.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to assess the importance of European Union funds in the development of the regions, with an emphasis on the benefits of obtaining funding under the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) for the Podkarpackie voivodship. Design/methodology/approach: In collecting empirical material for the article, the method of economic and general statistics was used. The temporal scope of the research covers the years 2014-2020, some issues in the field of the effects of cohesion policy support for regional development were shown in the years 2004-2020. The rationale for the location of the research is the peripheral location of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and the related problems concerning the low level of economic growth and development, the lowest entrepreneurship rate, the low level of income of local governments and residents. Findings: The research has shown that the analysed province has narrowed the gap to the national average, thanks to investments in the development of technical and social infrastructure, renewable energy sources, innovation in enterprises and improvements in the quality of human and social capital. Originality/value: The article presents the use of EU financial resources supporting cohesion policy by the Podkarpackie local government in the form of the Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020 and the effects of the support based on selected indicators, including the author’s absorption indicator.

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to verify the process of β-convergence at a local level in Poland within 2007-2016, taking the impact of spatial effects and obtained EU funds related to innovation on economic growth into account. Design/methodology/approach: Spatial econometric methods were used in the research procedure. The modelling uses the economic aggregate, which is an alternative to the GDP measure of development. In addition, the traditional convergence equations were modified by adding variables defining spatial interactions to the specifications of the estimated models that may affect the rate of economic growth. The study covers data from all counties (NTS4) in 2oland. Findings: The estimated econometric models showed that between 2007-2016, there was a slow process of reducing economic inequalities between counties in Poland. The convergence process was conditioned by the amount of European funds obtained for innovation. The funds acquired in a given county stimulated the economic growth of this unit while, at the same time, having negative impact on the development dynamics of neighbouring units. Originality/value: The added value of this elaboration is the inclusion of spatial effects affecting economic growth in the conducted analyses of conditional convergence.

Design/methodology/approach: Spatial econometric methods were used in the research procedure. The modelling uses the economic aggregate, which is an alternative to the GDP measure of development. In addition, the traditional convergence equations were modified by adding variables defining spatial interactions to the specifications of the estimated models that may affect the rate of economic growth. The study covers data from all counties (NTS4) in 2oland. Findings: The estimated econometric models showed that between 2007-2016, there was a slow process of reducing economic inequalities between counties in Poland. The convergence process was conditioned by the amount of European funds obtained for innovation. The funds acquired in a given county stimulated the economic growth of this unit while, at the same time, having negative impact on the development dynamics of neighbouring units. Originality/value: The added value of this elaboration is the inclusion of spatial effects affecting economic growth in the conducted analyses of conditional convergence.
