NON-WAGE BENEFITS AS PART OF EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

Tematyka niniejszej pracy magisterskiej dotyczy zagadnień związanych z systemami benefitów w przedsiębiorstwach. Celem pracy było wskazanie, które benefity pozapłacowe są wykorzystywane w organizacjach oraz czy takie dodatki oddziałują pozytywnie na poziom zaangażowania pracowników. Główna część pracy dotyczy przedstawienia wyników badań przeprowadzonych za pomocą kanałów internetowych przy użyciu sondażu diagnostycznego, z zastosowaniem techniki ankietowania. Badania były prowadzone przez dwa tygodnie na przełomie kwietnia/ maja 2023 roku. W tym czasie uzyskano 111 odpowiedzi respondentów. Badania pokazały, iż pracownicy wymagają benefitów w miejscu zatrudnienia. Pracodawcy zapewniają zatrudnionym świadczenia pozapłacowe, jednak nie zawsze są one odpowiednio dopasowane. Jednocześnie respondenci odczuwają brak odpowiedniego poinformowania o dodatkach pozapłacowych, dlatego też negatywnie oceniają system benefitów. Można natomiast wnioskować, iż pracownicy dostrzegają pozytywny wpływ dodatków pozapłacowych na ich poziom zaangażowania do pracy.The subject of this thesis concerns issues related to benefit systems in companies. The purpose of the thesis was to identify which non-wage benefits are used in organizations and whether such perks have a positive impact on the level of employee engagement. The main part of the work concerns the presentation of the results of research conducted through online channels using a diagnostic survey, with the application of a questionnaire technique. The research was conducted for two weeks in April/May 2023. During this time, 111 responses were obtained from respondents. The research showed that employees demand benefits at their place of employment. Employers provide non-wage benefits to their employees, but they are not always properly matched. At the same time, respondents feel that they are not adequately informed about non-wage benefits, so they have a negative perception of the benefit system. On the other hand, it can be concluded that employees perceive the positive impact of non-wage benefits on their level of commitment to work

ON THE MECHANISM OF THE CURRENT INDUCED TRANSITION S → N IN THE TYPE II SUPERCONDUCTING WIRES

Deux modèles : l'état d'ancrage de flux et l'état de mouvement de flux sont présentés. Les résultats expérimentaux sur la distribution de l'induction magnétique dans la ligne conductrice sont comparés aux prédictions théoriques.Two models : the flux pinning state and flux flow state are presented. Experimental results of the magnetic induction distribution in the current-carrying wire and the theoretical predictions have been compared

Multidisciplinary Studies of Folk Medicine “Five Thieves’ Oil” (Olejek Pięciu Złodziei) Components

To meet the growing interest in natural antibacterial agents, we evaluated the physicochemical and biological properties of the folk medicine known as “five thieves’ oil” (Polish name: olejek pięciu złodziei). Five thieves’ oil consists of a mixture of five oils: rosemary, lemon, clove, eucalyptus, and cinnamon. In this study, we performed gas chromatography, FTIR, and UV–vis spectroscopic analysis, as well as L-a-b color tests, contact angle determination, and surface tension determination. To verify its antibacterial activity, the metabolic activity and changes in cell membrane permeability of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas were studied. As a result, it was found that among the constituent oils, the oils of clove and cinnamon were the least volatile and, at the same time, had the strongest antibacterial activity. However, a mix of all the oils also showed comparable activity, which was even more pronounced for the oils after 4 weeks of aging. This effect can be linked to the high content of terpene derivatives such as eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, which can cause changes in bacterial membrane permeability, affecting cell activity and survival. This study is the first to characterize the constituents of the popular folk medicine five thieves’ oil, confirming and explaining its strong antibacterial activity, thus constituting a significant contribution to contemporary health education.Land and Food Systems, Faculty ofNon UBCReviewedFacult
