Motywacja do pracy w biurze w dobie pracy zdalnej i hybrydowej na przykładzie firmy z branży IT
Remote work in the IT industry has become extremely popular, and encouraging employees to work on-site or to do hybrid work is now a significant challenge for many organizations. This article presents an analysis of a case study of a company that successfully introduced a hybrid work model with a large share of on-site work (approx. 85%). The theoretical framework is based on the two-factor theory of motivation (Herzberg et al., 1959). The aim of the study was to learn the opinions of the organization's employees on the introduced work model and to analyze the role that hygiene factors and motivators play in motivating people to work from the office. The study used a qualitative method, and 17 individual semi-structured interviews were conducted, involving most of the company's employees. The respondents positively assessed the adopted work model, including the prevailing ratio of working days from the office and remote work. Employees were encouraged to work from the organization's headquarters primarily by motivators such as better cooperation or organization of their own work.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-08-01
Ponowne rozpoznanie sprawy przez ten sam skład sądu na podstawie art. 386 § 5 k.p.c. w świetle strasburskiego standardu prawa do bezstronnego sądu
The article assesses the compatibility of the solution adopted by the legislator in Article 386 para. 5 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) with the standards of an ‘impartial’ court as defined in Article 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). The article aims to answer the question of whether the re-examination of a case by a court that has already expressed its opinion on the matter meets the requirements of court impartiality under the norms of the ECHR, and how national courts should interpret Article 386 para. 5 CCP, and which procedural instruments may be utilized by parties to ensure compliance with the ECHR standards. Currently, the provisions of Article 386 § 5 of the CCP fail to meet the test of objective impartiality as required by Article 6 of the ECHR, insofar as they establish,as a general rule, the possibility of a case being re-examined by the same court. An ECHR-compliant interpretation of this provision presupposes a broad understanding of the criterion precluding re-examination of the case by the same court, encompassing a variety of circumstances, both of a personal nature and those involving other types of impediments. The responsibility for making this assessment lies with the appellate court. Only such an interpretation of Article 386 para. 5 of the CCP can ensure its coherence with the standards developed in the case law of the Strasbourg Court, and thus its compatibility with Article 6 of the ECHR.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-09-26
Source awareness and vaccine attitudes: evaluation of a novel technique for combating disinformation
Previous studies on combating disinformation have focused on methods based on rational argumentation like correcting misinformation or on news and media and literacy. However, these methods have proved to be less effective when strong emotions are involved. The presented research tested the effectiveness of a new technique for combating anti-vaccine disinformation: making people aware that most anti-vaccine disinformation comes from a source that evokes strongly negative emotions. Such a technique, appealing to emotions rather than rationality, has never been tested before. A Pilot Study, two Experiments, and a Control Study, with N = 1436 participants (486 males, 432 females) aged 18–64, mostly of Polish nationality, were run after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The participants read articles about Russian anti-vaccine propaganda or neutral ones. Then, their readiness to vaccinate was tested. The results of the first experiment indicated that people who read articles about Russian anti-vaccine propaganda had more positive attitudes towards vaccinations than those who read neutral articles. However, the effect was not replicated in the second experiment. The possible reasons for this lack of replication are discussed, one of which was excluded in a Control Study. Nevertheless, the results encourage further studies in this direction.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-08-27
STRESSmission as a new stress reduction and mood boosting tool: a proof of concept study
Introduction and aim: In the post-COVID-19 era, mental resilience is crucial to cope with stress effectively. Thus, a psycho-educational game called STRESSmission was created. It consists of 54 cards divided into sections relating to the body (Soma), the psyche (Psyche), and social interactions (Polis). The aim of the study was to compare the subjective stress and mood levels before and after the game in group of students and seniors. Additionally, a survey was conducted on its attractiveness and the desire to purchase the game. Material and methods: The study was conducted among 206 participants in two age groups: students (n = 102) and seniors (n = 104). In Study 1, the impact of the game on stress levels was measured using a tool (a game element) called the STRESSometer, while mood swings were measured by the Mood Barometer. Study 2 evaluated the game using a customized questionnaire with open-ended questions, among 114 participants to assess its attractiveness and the desire to purchase the game. Results: We found a decrease in subjective stress levels and an increase in reported mood levels in both groups after playing STRESSmission, with the effect on stress levels more pronounced in students, and no difference between groups in mood. Most participants rated the game as attractive and worth buying, with more significant results for students. Conclusions: We provided preliminary evidence that the STRESSmission game can be a tool for lowering subjective feelings of stress and improving mood in students and seniors.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2024-08-20
“God is my vaccine”: the role of religion, conspiracy beliefs, and threat perception in relation to COVID-19 vaccination
Religious and conspiracy beliefs are based on the assumption that a potent force exists which is capable of affecting people’s destinies. According to compensatory control theory, the belief in such a potent external agent may serve to alleviate feelings of uncertainty and help restore a sense of control. This is of particular relevance and importance to attitudes and behaviour of religious individuals towards vaccinations during the Covid-19 pandemic, where a belief in such a potent external force controlling events and destinies may have lowered the sense of threat posed by Covid-19 and in turn reduced vaccination uptake. To test this, we conducted a cross-sectional study of highly religious adults in Poland (N = 213) and found that the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses taken was negatively predicted by conspiracy beliefs, perceived closeness to God, and frequency of church attendance, and positively predicted by the perceived COVID-19 threat. Furthermore, mediation analysis revealed that both conspiracy beliefs and perceived closeness to God were related to a decreased perception of the COVID-19 threat, which in turn led to a decreased number of vaccine doses received. Our study offers important insights for public health professionals and identifies further research pathways on conspiracy and religious beliefs in relation to health-related behaviours.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
