    A successful social enterprise in Hungary / Skuteczność przedsiębiorstwa społecznego na Węgrzech
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-06-30) Lipták, Katalin ; Szűcsné Markovics, Klára ; Horváthné Csolák, Erika ; Musinszki, Zoltán
    Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the study is to describe the development of the social economy sector, the emergence of social enterprises and the rationale for their establishment. Materials and methods: It is through social enterprises, that the social economy can provide solutions to existing social and economic problems that the profit-oriented sector cannot always solve. We interviewed Szimbiózis Foundation, a social enterprise that has been thriving in Northern Hungary for decades as one of the building blocks of the social economy. Results: The example of the foundation is used to illustrate positive social benefits of social entrepreneurship in general. The Szimbiózis Foundation has been operating as a social enterprise for 15 years and has intentionally become one. A fundamental problem for people with disabilities is that they do not have marketable occupations and their educational attainment is mostly low. Appropriate quality training is needed to ensure that they learn the most relevant skills for their abilities. Having identified this problem, the Szimbiózis Foundation set out to provide training courses for people with disabilities. This improved the number of skilled workers with a disability. Conclusions: The identified outputs have a number of measurable effects, such as a reduction in local unemployment, cost savings to society, and the improved quality of life for people with disabilities.

    Differences in defining the virtual and traditional teams / Różnice w definiowaniu zespołów wirtualnych i tradycyjnych
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-06-30) Seliverstova, Yana
    Subject and purpose of work: This paper aims to review the current literature on virtual teams in order to compile what we, as a scientific community, know about virtual teams and their management Materials and methods: This research study is based on a systematic literature review of the Scopus database. Results: The study provides a holistic definition of virtual teams and their classification based on a variety of criteria. It also discusses types of virtual teams as well as their benefits and drawbacks.. The key characteristics of virtual team management are analysed in relation to traditional team management Conclusions: In 2022, virtual teams are promising and dynamically developing as digital technologies, current globalisation and the COVID19 pandemic allow for and even enforce remote work. This form of employment is beneficial and convenient, but at the same time, associated with some risks and difficulties that can be avoided with the proper organisation of the process.

    Empirical analysis of financial development and financial inclusion nexus in Nigeria / Empiryczna ocena związku między rozwojem finansowym i włączeniem finansowym w Nigerii
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-06-30) Anthony-Orji, Onyinye I. ; Orji, Anthony ; Ogbuabor, Jonathan E. ; Onwe, Israel Emenike
    Subject and purpose of work: The literature on financial development and economic growth is expansive. The proportion of individuals and firms that use or have access to financial services can be referred to as the financially included. Considerable evidence shows that the poor benefit more from access to basic financial services such as payments, savings accounts and insurance. Thus, this study analysed the impact of financial inclusion on financial development in Nigeria between 1982 and 2019. Materials and methods: Multiple regression analysis was employed in the study in order to properly estimate the models and get robust results. Results: The findings reveal that financial inclusion has a minor impact on financial development. Investment was also shown to improve financial development. Conclusions: The study recommended that policies should be directed towards creating a more inclusive financial system in order to improve the current level of financial inclusion, so as to achieve better financial development in Nigeria.

    From the region attracting to the region pushing out the population (on the example of the Silesian Voivodeship) / Od regionu przyciągającego do regionu wypychającego ludność (na przykładzie województwa śląskiego)
    (Akademia Bialska Nauk Stosowanych im. Jana Pawła II, 2022-06-30) Rakowski, Witold
    Subject and purpose of work: The subject of the research is the Silesian Voivodeship, identified with the region which, almost until the end of the 20th century, was characterized by a positive balance of population migration in interregional flows. Since 1999, it has become a runoff area. The aim of the article is to present the size of the links in terms of permanent migration of the Silesian region population with other voivodeships and the resulting demographic losses that this region has suffered over 20 years. Materials and methods: The research method is reduced to the analysis of data on the migration of people to and from the Silesian region in 1999-2018 with the use of statistical methods. The basic source of data that formed the basis for the analysis of inter-voivodeship population flows were the numbers included in the Demographic Yearbooks 2000-2019. Results: The demographic processes taking place over 20 years caused a decrease in the region’s population by 251,934, of which 60,956 were inter-voivodeship flows, 97,059 for a negative increase, 93,919 for a negative foreign balance. Conclusions: From the analysis of population flows between the Silesian region and the rest of the country, the following correlations can be seen: − in the analyzed period of research, the attractiveness of settlement in the Silesian region decreased, − the Silesian region showed the strongest migration ties with its immediate surroundings, which would be in line with Ravenstein’s law, − the ties between the population of the Silesian region and voivodeships with a higher level of development, especially in the outflow, are tightening, and it is weakening with underdeveloped regions, − the migration efficiency of the population of the Silesia region was the lower, the higher level of development was represented by a given group of voivodeships.

Results: The results of this study show that in the Government of the Republic of Kosovo gives priority to women farmers in its agricultural policies. The support could be seen as the offer of good employment opportunities since women are the most vulnerable part of society in Kosovo. Furthermore, the support given to the women engaged in agriculture will help the agricultural sector to improve productivity, efficiency, and efficacy through a better and faster connection of producers with the market. It will also help to promote a new way of monitoring and ensuring thar agricultural products are in compliance with the set standards. Conclusions: The study confirms that the women in the municipality of Skendraj make substantial contributions to agriculture and rural enterprises. There is a wide diversity in women roles and any overgeneralisation undermines the importance and planning of policies.
