Od biurokracji do nowego zarządzania publicznego

The civil service and broader the public administration, should be more often the domain of managers, politicians apart from lawyers. Classically, the public management has adopted a hierarchical basis, the slim organizational structure with many levels and a small span of management – commonly called a bureaucratic. Currently, the term 'bureaucracy' is a synonym for lazy, inefficient, although it originally meant specialization, formalization, centralization, and the continuity of tasks. The purpose of this article is therefore to compare approaches to the administrative department – the bureaucratic and managerial one. There is also the attempt to identify the Polish position on the background of the European Union in this regard

Fungi inhabiting the aboveground organs of downy willow (Salix lapponum L.) and swamp willow (Salix myrtilloides L.)

The species of downy willow (Salix lapponum) and swamp willow (Salix myrtilloides) are extremely rare relicts among all members of the genus Salix. In Poland, they occur only in the eastern part of the Karkonosze Mountains, Masurian Lake District, and Polesie Lubelskie area. A huge threat to both species is the drainage of peat bogs and their excessive exploitation as well as diseases caused by bacteria and fungi. The present study aimed identify fungal species colonizing the aboveground organs of plants with disease symptoms and to indicate which species may pose a threat towards S. lapponum and S. myrtilloides growing under natural conditions. This research was conducted in Polesie National Park as a part of a research project by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Plant health assessments were carried out in natural habitats, while aboveground organs with disease symptoms were collected for laboratory mycological analysis. Colletotrichum salicis (teleomorph Glomerella salicis), Coniothyrium concentricum, Cylindrosporium salicinum, Phomopsis spp., Truncatella angustata, and Cytospora chrysosperma (teleomorph Valsa sordida) were the fungal species most frequently isolated from leaves and shoots of both willow species. The above-mentioned fungi are dangerous plant pathogens from the family Salicaceae. There were no obligatory parasites or monophagous pathogens on the aboveground organs of downy or swamp willow. Obligatory parasites may indicate a markedly low population of host plants in Polish conditions

Internal communication satisfaction while remote work : the organizational culture perspective

PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to answer the question whether the Organizational Culture Affect Communication Satisfaction in Remote and Hybrid Work Settings.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In this study two stages of methodology were applied with the systematic literature review as the first one and second data collection (N=701) by the means of a quantitative research. Two already verified, reliable questionnaires were adopted - OCAI (Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument developed by Cameron and Quinn 1999) for the company culture assessment and the CSQ (Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire developed by Downs and Hazen 1977) for assessing the communication satisfaction evaluation, both in remote and hybrid settings.FINDINGS: The results presented show differences in communication satisfaction depending on perceptions of organizational culture in remote and hybrid work. Perceived organizational culture affects communication satisfaction ratings, but in differently across each of dimensions assessed. The highest satisfaction scores were reported by employees assessing their organization culture as Clan, slightly smaller was reported by those assessing the culture as Adhocracy, next Hierarchy and the lowest satisfaction was shown by those who rated the organization culture as Market. Employees rating their organization culture as Clan are more satisfied than others show greater satisfaction in six of the eight dimensions.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Managers seeking to improve the communication satisfaction of their employees should simultaneously work on improving communication – which seems obvious – but also on organizational culture. Introducing elements of the e.g., clan culture into the daily remote or hybrid activities of employees will increase their satisfaction with communication. Having that in mind managers would influence culture change more attentively.ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study measures how much are employees satisfied with communication while working in remote or hybrid conditions with relation to organizational culture as they perceived it. In the remote work condition, when communication media are similar, the organizational culture has important influence on emploeeys communication satisfaction.peer-reviewe
