    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-12-31) Błażejak, Yuliya ; Dąbrowski, Dominik
    Subject and purpose of work: The paper presents the tourist potential on the example of the small town of Stankava (Polish name: Stańkowo, Stańkawa, Stańków) in the Minsk Oblast in Belarus. Materials and methods: The research was conducted by means of the diagnostic survey method using the author’s own questionnaire survey in 2019. The sample used comprised 196 respondents – inhabitants and tourists (including 142 women and 54 men). Results: The results of the study show that Stankava is a naturally and culturally attractive tourist area referring to the history of the former borderlands of Poland with an unused development potential. However, in the opinion of the respondents, the actions of local authorities regarding the preservation of historical memory and the tourist promotion of the town by means of available resources are at a very low level. When assessing the tourist infrastructure, they indicated the lack of tourist trails, services, accommodation facilities and food outlets. The insufficient marking of existing attractions and historically important places was also pointed out. In the tourists’ view, it is natural and cultural objects that are the most important holiday attraction in the researched place. Conclusions: In order to fully exploit the tourist potential of the town, it is necessary to develop its tourist and recreational infrastructure and increase the role of tourism and recreation in the development policy of the local authorities.

    Professional expectations of the students of Economics at Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska / Oczekiwania zawodowe studentów kierunku Ekonomia Państwowej Szkoły Wyższej im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-12-31) Kuźmicki, Marek ; Borysiuk, Magdalena
    Subject and purpose of work: The aim of this paper is to identify the professional expectations of the students of Economics at the Pope John Paull II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska. The paper also presents the respondents’ opinions on particularly desirable values of potential employers. Materials and methods: The research was carried out using the CAWI method in January 2021. It involved 108 students of Economics pursuing Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Results: The values that most respondents expect from their future employers cover attractive remuneration, the stability of employment, a promotion prospect and friendly workplace atmosphere. The least significant values include work in a big city, work in a convenient location and an opportunity to work in an international environment. The students of older years would find it easier to cope with work at a high pace and under the pressure of time. The need to perform imitative work and focus only on the narrow scope of work duties would not be a serious problem for the participants of the study. Conclusions: The students of Economics at the Pope John Paull II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska will engage in their work and perform it to the best of their abilities if they are adequately remunerated and given a possibility of further professional development, and when working conditions and atmosphere are good and comfortable.

    Religious imperatives as a correlate of the development of human potential and the economic capital of society / Imperatywy religijne jako korelat rozwoju potencjału ludzkiego i kapitału ekonomicznego społeczeństwa
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-12-31) Karpiak, Maria ; Shparyk, Khrystyna
    Subject and purpose of work: This article examines the role of religion in economic development. Even though it is obvious that religion plays a vital role in economic development since a healthy economy requires that all people view one another with dignity, there are still some questions which need to be answered, for example, why wealthier nations tend to be less religious, and if economic development actually causes individuals to become less religious in today’s world. Materials and methods: The research is based on universal methods of formal logic and scientific abstraction, basics of innovation science, investment science and institutional economics, systemic, structural-functional and synergetic approaches, as well as information sources of the World Economic Forum. Results: The authors’ hypothesis about the influence of religion and religious values on rapid economic growth has been substantiated. Conclusions: In conclusion, it can be stated that there is strong negative correlation between GDP per capita and the importance of religion in a particular country, nevertheless, in most societies religious values were the main driving force of economic growth.

    Subject and purpose of work: Dairy production has key functions in food security and poverty reduction, however, dairy farmers do not always benefit from this production. The aim of the study was to analyze the dairy value chain in Ada’a Berga district, Ethiopia. Materials and methods: Primary and secondary research was employed. Using pretested structured questionnaires primary data was collected from 123 dairy producers, 48 actors and 30 dairy consumers. Value chain analysis, a practical method for assessing policymaking appropriateness, was applied for the analysis. Results: The study results revealed the lack of structured dairy value chain, poor performance and weak linkage among dairy value chain actors. Conclusions: There is a need to strengthen input suppliers, the dairy market and dairy cooperatives, as well as to improve the dairy herd, introduce contract farming and control unlicensed traders. Such initiatives will enhance dairy value chain development and sustainability within the district.
