Płaszczyzny budowania zaufania do funduszy emerytalnych działających w Polsce

Celem artykułu jest analiza zaufania do otwartych funduszy emerytalnych (OFE) jako podmiotów funkcjonujących w polskim systemie emerytalnym. Zadaniem OFE jest gromadzenie funduszy zaoszczędzonych przez Polaków i zarządzanie nimi w celu zabezpieczenia kapitałów po przejściu na emeryturę. Polacy często lekceważą potrzebę oszczędzania środków na starość, mimo że polski system emerytalny zakłada indywidualne przedsięwzięcia emerytalne. W artykule wskazano czynniki i płaszczyzny budowania zaufania do OFE jako instytucji funkcjonujących w II filarze systemu emerytalnego. Zaufanie do systemu emerytalnego może być budowane przez zaufanie do poszczególnych instytucji funkcjonujących w danym systemie. Wydzielenie czynników zaufania do OFE może wskazać metody budowania zaufania do całego systemu emerytalnego.The purpose of this article is to analyze the trust in Open Pension Funds (OPF) as entities operating in the Polish pension system. The task of OPFs is to collect and manage the funds accumulated by Poles in order to secure their capital after retirement. Poles often ignore the need to save money for old age, despite the fact that the Polish pension system provides for individual pension schemes. This article indicates the factors for building the trust in OPFs as institutions operating within the second pillar of the pension system. The trust in the pension system can be built through the trust in the individual institutions operating in the given system. Separating trust factors related to OPFs can indicate the methods of building the trust in the entire pension system

Determinants which shape confidence in third sector organisations

NGOs are forced to pay more and more attention to relations with cooperating entities, the so-called stakeholders. Building trust seems to be the way of facilitating cooperation, achieving set goals and developing the organization.

Zaufanie i nieufność jako różne koncepcje : ramy pojęciowe dla sektora publicznego

W światowych rankingach uogólnionego zaufania Polska zajmuje niską pozycję. Polacy raczej są nieufni. W analizach dotyczących zaufania podejmuje się próby wyizolowania (rozróżnienia) nieufności. Nieufność coraz częściej jest definiowana jako odrębny termin, nie tylko jako przeciwieństwo zaufania. Niezbędna wydaje się analiza nieufności, szczególnie w odniesieniu do sektora publicznego. Organizacje publiczne zwracają uwagę na budowanie zaufania. Celem artykułu i badań jest opis ram teoretycznych do analizy nieufności w sektorze publicznym. Artykuł jest oparty na przeglądzie literatury oraz ogólnodostępnych danych.In the global rankings of generalized trust, Poland occupies a low position. Polish people are rather distrustful.

The article is an attempt to systematize the concept of distrust through analysis of trust and separation of basic differences in both concepts (trust and distrust) was made. A great significance of distrust towards entities (organizations) of the public sector may be observed.

The paper includes theoretical frameworks, which may be used for a detailed research on the role and significance of distrust in the public sector. The paper is based on the literature review and generally available data
