Migration Decisions and Paths in Family Stories of Polish Intergenerational Dyads in Germany
The article addresses migration as a temporally-embedded process, shedding light on the complexity of individual and family trajectories. Through a multi-perspective lens, we examine migration decision- making and constructions of shared migration stories in Polish families in Germany. Previous research, largely focused on economic activity as a driver behind seasonal migration, has obscured the implications of generationality in this destination country. The findings stem from the IRIMTA study, which uses multi-perspective interviews with young adults (aged 18–29) who grew up in Germany and represent 1.5 and second-generation, as well as their parents (aged 44–68) who left Poland approx. 25 years ago. The article’s question is: How are migration decisions and paths intergenerationally narrated in the context of Polish families in Germany? The analysis reveals that parents and their adult children consistently recall the process of moving to Germany, referring to the same events, even if their emotional attitudes to the mobility projects differ. We reveal gender and subsequent relational and professional paths in Germany as filters that shape how migration is viewed today by the parents. As for young adults, we report mostly positive feelings associated with living in Germany, as well as their Polish background, thus demonstrating the role of migration stories in engendering intergenerational transnationalism.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-05
Linguistic features influencing information diffusion in social networks: A systematic review
This review summarizes research empirically addressing the link between linguistic features and spread of information in online social media. N = 85 studies were selected for the review. Features that consistently had a positive effect on diffusion were information value, words pertaining to social connection, as well as engaging, concrete and powerful language style. Instead, effects of sentiment polarity (positive vs. negative), basic emotions, and morality vary in their relation with diffusion. We also noted whether the diffusion has been investigated as influence- or homophily-based, i.e., whether the sharing occurred as the result of the message exposure or simply because of inherent similarity between the users. This difference in sharing was considered in only n = 7 of the selected works, of which only n = 2 identified features that positively affect both processes.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-06-09
Longitudinal links of parenthood regret and parental burnout at the between-person and within-person levels
Objective: This study examines the longitudinal and reciprocal relationships between parenthood regret and parentalburnout. Background: Parenthood regret and parental burnout are increasingly recognized as common, yet distinct forms of negativeparental experiences with potentially severe consequences for family wellbeing. Prior research has primarily studied these con-structs separately, providing limited insight into how they mutually reinforce one another over time. Method: Two longitudinal studies were conducted involving parents from Poland (Study 1; N = 1275, emerging adults, conveni-ence sample, 12-month duration) and primarily the United Kingdom and United States (Study 2; N = 1545, diverse ages, conven-ience sample, 8-month duration). Parenthood regret and parental burnout were assessed using validated self-report measuresadministered at three intervals; data were analyzed using cross-lagged panel models (CLPM) and random-intercept cross-laggedpanel models (RI- CLPM). Results: Findings indicated reciprocal associations at the between-person level: parents experiencing higher parental burnoutreported increased parenthood regret over time and vice versa. At the within-person level, however, only increases in parenthoodregret consistently predicted subsequent increases in parental burnout; the reverse direction was not supported. Conclusion: Parenthood regret and parental burnout are reciprocally linked at the between-person level, while parenthoodregret appears to play a particularly significant role at the within-person developmental level. Implications: Results underscore the need for interventions addressing parenthood regret concerns to reduce long-term burn-out risks.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2024-07-30
Out-of-court resolution of employment disputes in Poland
Amicable dispute resolution helps to alleviate social tensions in the workplace between employees and employers, and fosters a peaceful culture of dispute resolution. The above-mentioned out-of-court institutions for resolving labour disputes are in line with the implementation of the dispute settlement amicable directive established by the Polish legislator. When comparing the practical application of the offered out-of-court employment dispute resolution procedures, it should be noted that at the present time they are not popular among Polish employers and employees.The reasons for this are complex, and have been outlined above. However, mediation can be very helpful in resolving labour disputes, and its use has been steadily increasing since its introduction into the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, with the possibility of its use in labour disputes, as indicated by the statistics kept by the Ministry of Justice34. This may indicate that there is a growing interest in this new institution and that employees and employers are increasingly interested in using this form of dispute resolution. Mediation may therefore be a way out of a situation in which conciliation committees and arbitration have failed. It is also worth noting that mediation has been used as a well-established form of resolving collective disputes, which demonstrates its effectiveness in the context of labour relations35.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2024-12-24
Historical Conditions of the Development of the Institution of Mediation in Collective Labor Disputes in the United States
The purpose of this article is to analyze the historical conditions of the development of the institution of mediation in collective labor disputes in the United States. The unique historical conditions that fundamentally influenced the level of use of mediation as a form of dispute resolution, both in the early days of its development in the US and today, need to be characterized. The characterization involves a consideration of the introduction of regulations that initiated the use of mediation at the state and then federal levels. The reach of mediation in collective disputes expanded from its original use in the transportation (railroads and airlines) sectors to its subsequent application in most labor disputes in the private sector. Mediation became institutionalized, as well as professionalized, thanks to the important support activities of the federal government and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services (FMCS). Therefore, it should be considered important to look at the actions taken by the government in the past to promote the use of the institution of mediation, including through the formation of bodies (councils) that contributed to the professionalization of the profession of mediator. The issues presented herein are relevant because mediation in the United States has reached a high level of development and overall success. An analysis of these issues becomes useful in the light of the interest in the process of implementation of the American mediation model by other countries. The sources used in the article are American publications that discuss the historical development of mediation in the US, the relevant legislation, and selected case law.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
