E-learning has become a challenge for many universities worldwide, which during the pandemic had to switch overnight from offline to online learning and meet the expectations of students for whom this form of education was often alien. The aim of the paper is to present how students from two different countries, Spain and Poland, perceived e-learning during the pandemic, what factors, in their opinion, influenced their satisfaction with this form of education, which of them decreased it; and what are the similarities and differences in their opinion. In order to get to know their opinions, an online survey was conducted with students at the University of Manresa (Spain), and telephone interviews with students of the Warsaw University of Technology Business School. A comparative analysis of the obtained results was then performed to determine the similarities and differences in the satisfaction with e-learning between the Spanish and Polish students. The study shows that the main factors satisfying both groups of students are the possibility to use digital didactic materials, the quality of e-learning platforms, the organisation of e-learning, and the support provided by universities and lecturers. The most significant differences were visible in the perception of online classes, the formula for completing the course, and the didactic activities for students. The research results lead to the conclusion that despite the cultural differences and different teaching systems, the factors satisfying students with e-learning in the two countries were in fact quite similar.

Organisational culture has been the topic of research and in-depth analysis for around fifty years, emphasising the multifaceted nature and operationalisation challenges of organisational culture. Studies on its manifestations (i.e. values, behaviours, symbols) and functions have been conducted in relation to corporations, perceived as one entity rather than its subsidiaries. The aim of this article is to investigate the factors shaping the organisational culture of the growing number of shared service centres (SSC) of transnational corporations in Poland, an area that has not yet been thoroughly explored. The article is both theoretical and empirical, with the theoretical part devoted to the characteristics of the growing numbers of SSCs in Poland and a comprehensive classification of environmental factors in which SSCs function, while in the empirical part the author conducted statistical tests regarding the choice of dominant factors shaping SSC culture. A practical dimension of the study is the ranking list of factors shaping the SSC organisational culture: at the top of the rank are the factors related to the activity profile (both for the SSC and parent company) and human capital factors (age, competences, qualifications, employee gender both for the SSC and the parent company). The reverse approach to culture, concentrating more on the process of shaping it rather than an analysis of the actual state and the specificity of the culture, brings added value to the study.

This article attempts to present a flipped classroom (FC) model from a glottodidactic point of view in the context of a language school educational situation. The introduction to the article briefly explains the socio-economic context, the variable and dynamic nature that initiates and catalyses changes in both a formal and non-formal education system, and language schools belonging to the latter type. The first part of the article presents the FC phenomenon, its definition, features, as well as areas that directly influenced its evolution: constructivism and computer assisted language learning (CALL). Furthermore, it discusses the crucial consequence of the implementation of the FC model, i.e. changing the tasks of both the student and the teacher. The second part describes the implementation of a glottodidactic model developed by the educational and IT team in a particular language school, where it ultimatalely became the primary way of learning and teaching Spanish. It contains the following elements: presentation of the structure of glottodidactic materials available on an e-learning platform before meeting with a teacher, and the organisation of stationary lessons in relation to the traditional model commonly used in language schools. A proposal of the methodology of research on the described phenomenon is also presented. As a conclusion, it points out the positive effects of introducing the FC model into a language school, both from a didactic and economic perspective.

The aim of the presented research was to check what determines the creative thinking of IT employees. The concept is defined with reference to Urban's concept of creativity, the personality conditions are described using Costa and McCrae's five-factor model of personality, while the overview of the environmental conditions is based on Kolb's organisational climate approach. 224 programmers (110 women and 114 men) participated in the study and were asked to complete the following research tools with validated psychometric properties: Urban and Jellen's Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Performance, Costa and McCrae's NEO-FFI Personality Inventory, and Kolb's Organisational Climate Questionnaire. The data obtained confirms the association of the programmers' creative thinking with openness to experience, conscientiousness and organisational climate, including demands and leadership. Gender modifies the relationships considered. The knowledge gained can help develop training programmes addressed to people who wish to develop their creative potential; it can also create an innovation-friendly organisational culture.

In recent years both in Polish and international literature, the number of studies devoted to trust in inter-organisational relations has grown at a steady pace. The authors of these studies tend to apply two methodological approaches: variance theory and process theory. The aim of this article is to compare Polish and English language academic literature with regard to the methodological approaches. The article is based on a systematic literature review of inter-organisational trust, with literature collected based on keywords and snowball methodology. The election was based on abstract analysis and the text of selected articles. The methodologies of the selected articles were presented and compared. From the initial pool of 726 positions, 32 articles in Polish and 30 in English were analysed and compared, with the data presented in a comparison table. The findings indicate a research gap in Polish-language literature in the form of an insufficient amount of research on trust at inter-organisational level using a process-based approach. Applying this approach would potentially deepen the understanding of organisations' relationships with each other, especially in the context of Poland.

Contemporary problems related to the poor condition of our natural environment force changes in management models. The model that the economy has followed so far is a linear model - a highly consumption-based model that leads to an increased amount of waste and pollution, and consequently to not taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. As cities struggle with numerous problems (including a constantly growing population, pollution, demand for raw materials, etc.) they should change the way they are managed. The aim of the study is to identify which of them are most often used by these cities. The research questions asked in the article are: what is the role of the city as an authority in these models - is it an implementer or a recipient of circular models solutions? According to the current state of knowledge, is it possible to say that thanks to circular models used in cities the quality of life of residents is improving (from an environmental and social perspective)? The research method used was a review of professional literature (WoS and Scopus databases, as well as full-text databases), internet sources and reports. Three types of circular business models, in which Swedish and Dutch cities participate, were identified. The models that are used predominantly in cities in both Sweden and the Netherlands are models of sharing consumption. Cities as authorities assume different roles - they are both implementers and recipients of the models. It cannot be stated unequivocally that the introduction of circular business models in the current form has a positive effect on the quality of life in a city. Therefore, further research and experiments must be carried out, e.g. in the direction of expanding these models.

The aim of the article is to show the scope and importance of outsourcing in increasing the effectiveness of recruitment in organisations that implement it. The theoretical part of the article explains the concept and how recruitment outsourcing fits in with other HR functions, as well as the reasons for the interest in its implementation and the possible results. The empirical part, however, presents the results of own research conducted among 85 employers via a questionnaire using the CAWI technique. The aim of the research was to identify the scope of outsourcing in recruitment and assess the level of its effectiveness. The presented results show a significant improvement in the effectiveness of recruitment thanks to outsourcing, among others in terms of quality, costs, speed of process implementation and a high level of employer satisfaction.

One aspect of university governance during the Covid - 19 pandemic was the introduction of compulsory distance learning. This set-up required significant modifications in the organisation of the teaching-learning process, becoming an area of reflection in the field of academic didactics. The main addressees of the described educational change were female and male students - entities who chose different paths to achieve their learning goals. The analysis subject of this article is to identify such characteristics as, inter alia, their learning strategies, ways of evaluating online classes or emotions experienced in a learning situation. The pilot studies were carried out in the first phase of introducing remote university teaching, and were done using a unique questionnaire. The theoretical basis of the research was the learning theory of adults, described by M. Knowles, co-creators of the teaching-learning process, selecting methods of action to specific problems. In this article we refer to the description of the strategy (individual learning) according to R. Arends (1998), as well as other issues related to remote university learning, i.e. evaluation of one's own study process, satisfaction with studying and emotions evoked by the necessity to learn remotely. Referring to the research results, the most frequently chosen strategies were those around working with 'written text': highlighting the most important information, creating notes or adding comments in the text. On the other hand, online classes were often of low value for the students. The obtained results also indicate the predominance of negative feelings and states related to anxiety, anger or disappointment with the remote organisation of university work.

There are many translations of the term ambidexterity in Polish scientific literature. Some authors refer to this form of management as organisational two-handedness, universality, bilaterality, duality or bipolarity, while others leave the English name. The aim of the article is to compare theories of the phenomenon based on systematic literature review and linguistic meanings of Polish terms.

The aim of this article is to find an answer to the question of whether the PhotoVoice method can be used in online educational research conducted with children aged 10-11. The author describes the aims and methodology of PhotoVoice. The paper also presents the ethical and organisational challenges faced by researchers wishing to use PhotoVoice in educational settings. The conducted pilot study did not provide an unequivocal answer to the research question, but indicated the directions in which further research should be conducted. It showed how the PV procedure should be changed, while maintaining the main objectives of the method, enabling its implementation in work with children in the fourth grade of primary school. The changes should include greater involvement and empowerment of students, conducting a mini-project preceding the actual project, and limiting the role of the teacher to participation in the final stage, i.e. the presentation of photographic work to decision-makers. At the same time the pilot project made it possible to conclude that the involvement of students in the project, in-depth reflection on photographs and discussions and motivation to propose changes in the immediate educational environment pose additional challenges if the project is conducted online.
