Managing such a system can pose many issues to biz such as feature evolution, concept evolution, concept drift, and infinite data length – and often makes it impractical to effectively store such big-data. To curb this, previous studies have assumed data to be stationary in using associative rule mining. This has deprived such systems of the flexibility and adaptiveness required to handle the dynamics of concept drift that characterizes transaction datasets. Our study thus proposes a basket frequent pattern growth trained associative rule mining model to handle large data. The dataset was retrieved from the Delta-Mall Asaba and consists of 556,000 transaction consumer records. The model consists of six-layers, and yields the best result with a 0.1 value for both the confidence and support level(s) at a 94% accuracy, sensitivity of 87%, and a specificity of 32% with a 20-second convergence and processing time.

APPROACHES TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC LITERACY OF UKRAINIANS USING BUSINESS JOURNALISM
Authors:   State Tax University, Hyrina Tetyana
Published: May 2024

According to the results of an empirical study using a sociological survey method, it was established that Ukrainians are oriented towards receiving information from various digital platforms (92 %). Business topics in the structure of daily information consumption take third place according to the recognition of 43 % of respondents, military (69 %) and entertainment (50 %) are more popular. It was found that more than 91 % of respondents have little or limited knowledge of financial literacy and only 3 % of 138 respondents feel knowledgeable and prepared. Among the main problems in the perception of business information, which limits contact with it: the complexity of the presentation, the accumulation of numerical data, the use of difficult-to-understand terminology. Instead, the interviewees expressed the need for a simplified explanation of the subject of the material (46 %), illustration with specific examples (32 %), integration of the message with social platforms, which naturally updates the infotainment toolkit (16 %). Based on the expectations of the audience, promising recommendations for authors of media content on economic topics are proposed, including: the need to simplify professional concepts, avoid jargon, complex theories without explanation; visualization, as an irreplaceable criterion for interpretation and approximation of the subject of presentation; use of interactive digital platforms; initiation of educational columns, projects, thematic blogs, audio podcasts, selections, digital almanacs dedicated to economic literacy in the media; activities in social networks, systematic educational work in the format of infographics, Stories, Reels; stimulating critical thinking of your audience; use of the principle of convergence of interests, localization of global problems; polyphony of feedback possibilities. An educational infographic has been developed to explain certain aspects of the financial and economic sector that users encounter in everyday life.
PECULIARITIES OF COVERAGE OF THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI CONFLICT IN THE WORLD MEDIA
Authors:   International Humanitarian University, Parkhitko Oleg , Danylov Vladyslav ,   International Humanitarian University
Published: May 2024

The article attempts to identify the peculiarities of the coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the world media. The research was based on publications from the websites of three media outlets - «The Washington Post», «The Guardian» and «Al Jazeera». The author talks about the difficulties that journalists may face when covering armed conflicts. Firstly, it is the threats to the physical and mental health of the journalist. Secondly, it is the difficulty of abstracting from one's own preferences in the conflict. Thirdly, it is difficulty in determining the status of the parties to the conflict. The author notes that in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict there are difficulties in determining the status of Hamas, since not all countries in the world consider the group to be terrorists. The article examines the views on the conflict of two high-quality private newspapers - «The Washington Post» and «The Guardian». The intrigue of the position of quality publications is that they are located in the United States and Europe, i.e., they should hypothetically support Israel against the collective Arab world. In fact, both media outlets have maintained a high level of quality and have covered the conflict in a balanced manner. Moreover, the newspapers' coverage is somewhat critical of the Jewish state. While «The Washington Post's» criticism is more of a guess, the Guardian's journalists express it quite frankly and emotionally. When expressing its attitude, an American newspaper must take into account the views of the powerful Jewish diaspora in the United States. As for the Guardian, the newspaper criticizes Israel from the liberal anti-war position of the British and European elite. The state-owned Qatari television company Al Jazeera has long been criticized for its bias and rather open communication with individuals whose activities are considered terrorist by some parts of the world. The intrigue with the Qatari media's coverage of the conflict is whether they will at least try to pretend to be objective to a global audience. In practice, the Arab media's website is falling into outright anti-Israeli and anti-American propaganda. It uses a selection of «correct» sources of information, mockery and manipulation of facts. The author of the article assumes that media workers are well aware of their target audience, which is quite effectively influenced by such publications.
JOURNALISM IMPARTIALITY: HOW TO WRITE ABOUT RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES

Published: May 2024

Existing journalistic standards are designed to prevent conflicts within society. In particular, this concerns the standard of balance of opinions, points of view, which implies the need to «give the floor to all parties to the conflict and reflect their positions, while the journalist himself must be as impartial as possible». Specifying of this standard, experts advise to avoid a false balance to consult with professional experts and to refuse altogether from writing material in case of lack of information. The standard of separation of facts from comments is also designed to convey the most unbiased information, where the position of the journalist himself, if any, is presented separately from the information presented. However, the journalist is a part of this culture of perception of the world that exists in this society. the consequence of the above is, in our opinion, that the journalist is not aware of the presence of his own prejudices, and therefore it is quite difficult for him to avoid them. Prejudice against Protestant religious communities has deep historical roots. Thus, in the Russian Empire, Protestants were forbidden to carry out missionary activities in relation to the Orthodox population. Both in imperial times and in Soviet times, the «struggle against sects» was relevant, which usually meant any deviations from the dominant religion/ideology. The Soviet authorities added to this active anti-religious propaganda with the help of cinematography. A vivid example of such propaganda is, in particular, the tape «Clouds over Borsk», where Pentecostal Protestants are presented as a group that makes human sacrifices. Conducted field studies prove the stability of such ideas. Thus, among the Orthodox, there is a widespread opinion about the «exorcism» of Pentecostals, not knowing the denominational affiliation of Protestants («probably not Christians») and even ideas about human sacrifices. The questions raised in this investigation relate, firstly, to the presence/absence of extrapolation of similar ideas to individual journalistic materials devoted to sensitive religious topics. Secondly, we are trying to find out in what way it is possible to create unbiased journalistic material on religious topics. For this purpose, an analysis of the material for compliance with journalistic standards and an interview with the journalist – the author of the material, were conducted.
THE CONCEPT OF HATE SPEECH IN THE PROPAGANDA DISCOURSE OF THE AGGRESSOR COUNTRY

Published: May 2024

The article attempts to catalog the key markers of hate speech used in the propaganda narratives of the aggressor country to create an image of the enemy. The article analyzes an array of propaganda material produced by the Russian Telegram channel «SlezhuZa». The most frequent and significant concepts for the propaganda ecosystem of the Russian Federation are identified: «Ukrainianism», «Russophobia», «decaying West», and «Anti-Russia project». The extra-linguistic circumstances of the origin of each concept are characterized; the etymological layer of each concept is revealed to expose its primary meaning; the polar components of the concepts are established through the explanation of lexemes with associative links, mythologemes, culture, and ideologemes. The linguistic picture of the world based on a particular concept is reconstructed. The historical manifestations of concepts that ensure their influence through the diachrony of «visions» of the Russian Federation are understood. The effect of the information bubble, into which the recipients of the Russian network channel «SlezhuZa» fall, is problematized, given the transboundary nature of the Telegram environment and the lack of development of media critical thinking among Ukrainian users. It is noted that hate speech, instrumentally used in hybrid influences, inspired aggression against our country and is now used to legitimize military actions. It is concluded that propaganda campaigns that unfold around precedentsetting narratives exploit the binary opposition of Us/Them, which keeps the image of the enemy in the focus of public attention. It is indicated that the lexical expansion of hate speech occurs through the creation of neologisms and occasionalisms. It is found that the peripheral meanings of the considered concepts are situational in nature of application, have a high level of associativity and allusiveness to the historical past.

We are encountering the term artificial intelligence more and more often. In everyday life, we are almost completely unaware that we come into contact with it and use it. It is found in various areas of human life. Artificial intelligence does not have comprehensive legislation to date. There are a number of states active in this area, with their own leaders. These include the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the European Union. There are a number of signed declarations, regulations and procedures in this area, but a complete regulatory framework is still lacking or is only at the beginning and needs to be implemented in society. In this paper, we pay attention to the basic concepts and breakdown of artificial intelligence, which we define in the theoretical part. We then characterize the risks that artificial intelligence may pose. In addition to its relatively large contribution in various fields of development, education, or streamlining administrative affairs, artificial intelligence poses risks that humans can exploit for their own enrichment, information acquisition, or political influence. AI can work efficiently and relatively quickly with large volumes of data. It can analyse it and learn from it. It can therefore be exploited, for example, in the context of censorship, the creation of false content and disinformation, phishing, Ramsomware, cyberattacks on various companies or institutions, deepfake videos and so on. In the conclusion of the present study, we will analyse the activities of the European Union in the field of laying the legislative framework for artificial intelligence from 2020 to the present. These regulatory activities can contribute to positive developments in eliminating the misuse of artificial intelligence for various activities dangerous to society. The speed of implementation and the quality of regulation will be an important factor for the future direction of AI.
CONTENT OF UKRAINIAN WOMEN'S ONLINE MEDIA ON THE SOCIAL NETWORK «INSTAGRAM» («UKRAINKI», «DIVOCZE. MEDIA», «WONDER UKRAINE», «4 MOM», «BEAUTY HUB» AND «LEMONADE»)
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Mudra Iryna
Published: May 2024

Mass media have long used social platforms to distribute and promote their content, and it is also an opportunity to attract new readers and advertisers. Women's online media also actively use various social platforms to inform their readers about the latest news about fashion, beauty, teach them how to take care of their bodies and share important topics. One of the best content sharing platforms for women is Instagram. This social network is one of the most popular platforms in the world. It gained popularity not only among people of the younger generation, but also among the older generation. These social platforms are best suited to tell about what interests women with the help of photos and short videos. Ukrainian women's online media distribute their content on the social network Instagram using regular posts, reels, live broadcasts and stories. The results of the study showed that most often in 2023 mass media published posts with photos and stories, and did not use live broadcasts. For content analysis, the Instagram pages of such Ukrainian women's online media as: «Ukrainky», «Divocze. Media», «Wonderzine Ukraine», «4 Mama», «Beauty HUB» and «Lemonade». After analyzing their content on the social network, it was possible to find out which topics are covered most often on their pages, who they write about and how they present information to their readers. The study showed that in addition to purely such «female content» (about hairstyles, makeup, clothes, etc.), the media raise serious topics about health, domestic and sexual violence, and also often write about women in the army and call for donations to support the Ukrainian army. Mass media «Ukrainki», «Divocze. Media», «Wonderzine Ukraine», «4 Mom», «Beauty HUB» actively maintained their pages on the Instagram social network in 2023, and «Lemonade» published only two posts during the year. During the study, 1709 posts were analyzed.

Published: May 2024

The general scientific, interdisciplinary problem of building the concept of message theory is solved. Accordingly, the object of research is all possible types of messages that function in the real world both within any cybernetic systems and between them. The subject of research is axioms, laws, structure, attributes, characteristics, typology, as well as operations on messages. The purpose of the article is to develop the concept of the theory of messages as a component of such universal sciences as the theory of mass communication, information science and cybernetics. Analysis, synthesis, idealization, logical method, and generalization were used among research methods. In addition to methods, the research also used techniques such as systematization and typology (typologization). The article is written in the style of a review, theoretical genre. The literature review analyzed 22 sources, including the world's most famous encyclopedic editions and dictionaries in the fields of journalism, mass communication theory, and cybernetics. In the obtained results, it is determined that a message is a fragment (a part that has a beginning and an end) of data of a cybernetic system, which (a) is a tuple, (b) is located in time or space, and (c) is intended to transmit information from the sender (source ) to its recipient (recipient). Features of creation, meaning and meaning of messages are determined. The structure of messages and types of their context are considered. It is noted that any kind of messages can be represented in an idealized digital form as a chain of 0 and 1. Six axioms are considered as the basis of the concept of message theory. Within this concept, six laws are distinguished. Five attributes of messages, as well as seven of their main characteristics, are considered. Among the types of messages, informative (9 types) and non-informative (also 9 types) are highlighted. In addition, formal (non-meaningful, 13 items) and informal (meaningful, 9 items) operations performed on messages are indicated.

Published: May 2024

Identification of wood species that are difficult to distinguish from their anatomical structure can be done through phytochemical (extractive substance) profiling. This research aimed to analyze the phytochemical profile as a sorter for three species of mangrove wood from Indramayu and Cilacap Regencies, Indonesia, using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrum. The phytochemical markers of taxonomic were the dominant compounds only found in one wood species. The results showed that the three types of wood are dominated by phytochemicals dissolved in ethanol. The results of LCMS analysis of the ethanol extract showed that the phytochemical markers were triterpenoid, flavonoid, and fatty acyls glycoside groups for Rhizophora apiculata, steroid and naphthalene groups for Bruguiera gymnorhiza, and alkaloid as well as fatty amide group for Bruguiera cylindrica. The dominant compounds that characterize these can be used in sorting between mangrove wood species.

Sub-Saharan Africa continues to struggle with food insecurity, which has been made worse by issues like the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. In the African continent, plants have been used for food and medicine for many generations. Morula (Sclerocarya birrea), Moretologa (Ximenia americana), Mowana (Adansonia digitata L.), and Mogose (Bauhinia petersiana) are among the most consumed indigenous plants in Botswana. The objective of this study was to analyse nutritional and phytochemical profiles of these indigenous plants. The results showed that protein content ranged between 1.80% (Morula) and 25.54% (Mogose). The highest fat content of 14.29% was observed in Mogose seeds. Mowana proved to be rich in calcium compared to other plants. Manganese was detected only in Mogose samples. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of various phytochemicals. Moretologa proved to be a good source of beta carotene (419.33 μg/100 g). The plants contained different amounts of ascorbic acid; 163.83, 141.59, 24.78, and 3.00 mg/100 g were recorded in Mowana, morula, Moretologa, and Mogose, respectively. Total phenols ranged between 7.98 mg/100 g (Moretologa) to 14.3 mg/100 g (Mowana). The four indigenous plants proved to have good nutritional qualities and their increased consumption may contribute positively towards efforts to attain food security in Botswana. Additionally, the plants are good sources of phytochemicals, and they may aid in the discovery of novel drugs and medicines and be useful in formulation of functional foods.

Authors: Sousa Carla , Neves José Carlos , Casimiro Cátia
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o potencial de um jogo tangível, o Glossário Inclusivo de Termos Matemáticos (GIM), para apoiar o ensino da matemática e da Língua Gestual Portuguesa (LGP) a crianças do pré-escolar e do primeiro ciclo, com ênfase na educação inclusiva, na aquisição de conhecimentos e no engagement. O GIM é composto por cartas físicas que são complementadas por vídeos, visualizados numa interface concebida para este jogo, onde os conceitos, personagens e objetos são identificados através de imagens, palavras e LGP. Durante o seu processo de desenvolvimento, foi possível envolver uma equipa multidisciplinar, da qual fizeram parte uma professora Surda e uma intérprete de LGP. Posteriormente, para validar o seu conteúdo, foi constituído um grupo de discussão de professores especializados no ensino de crianças s/Surdas. Participaram no estudo 120 crianças, com idades compreendidas entre os três e os oito anos (M = 5,61; DP = 0,78), e sete professores de LGP e de educação especial de três escolas portuguesas. As crianças utilizaram o GIM nas suas salas de aula, com a ajuda dos professores participantes, que foram posteriormente entrevistados e as entrevistas foram analisadas utilizando procedimentos de análise de conteúdo mistos. Os resultados indicaram que o GIM tem potencial para apoiar o ensino da matemática e da LGP no pré-escolar e 1.º ciclos do ensino básico, especialmente em contextos de educação inclusiva. A natureza tangível do jogo facilitou a compreensão dos conceitos matemáticos e da LGP por parte das crianças, levando a um maior engagement no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Além disso, o jogo promoveu a sensibilização para a diversidade e para os princípios da educação inclusiva.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar as dificuldades de acessibilidade com relação a pessoas surdas. Com a realidade das leis e o que elas declaram sobre a necessidade de proporcionar aos cidadãos, suporte suficiente para ter acesso a saúde. O trabalho busca a compreensão de demandas e dificuldades de pessoas acometidas pela surdez em locais voltados à saúde. A realidade das pessoas surdas se configura como uma questão humanística e principalmente, de inclusão social. A inclusão social, corresponde a um processo que precisa ser compreendido, considerando especificidades da história e cultura de determinado povo ou comunidade. A saúde ainda não contempla as pessoas surdas, visto que, barreiras existem de várias formas e possibilita um distanciamento dos sujeitos. Não existem profissionais capacitados, assim como falta intérpretes, tecnologia e políticas públicas para suprir as necessidades. A compreensão de problemas é uma forma de amenizar os danos causados por uma omissão de cuidados que as pessoas surdas sofrem constantemente quando procuram a saúde. A inserção da língua de sinais no currículo de um médico é de extrema importância para se estabelecer confiança no trabalho e cuidado com o sujeito. Os cidadãos possuem direitos, entre eles o de ter educação, saúde, trabalho, lazer e outros. A Constituição Brasileira prevê intérpretes de Libras ou que os profissionais tenham esse conhecimento, mas a realidade é bem distante. É necessário estudar essas questões para um entendimento amplo do que é preciso fazer para uma melhora efetiva nas lacunas da saúde. Assim, a comunidade surda poderá ter plena ciência de um direito que é para todos, mas que muitas vezes está restrito para eles. Trazendo a perspectiva da realidade da cidade de Penedo Alagoas.

Published: May 2024

This chapter highlights the importance of employment for Persons with Intellectual Disability (PwID), focusing on its impact on well-being and social inclusion. Mainly, it reviews the existing legal frameworks in Italy, Portugal, Sweden, and Türkiye to explore how they facilitate the workplace inclusion of these individuals. As a result, the developed research finds persistent challenges in implementing legal frameworks, aligning PwID's skills with job market demands, and providing comprehensive support. It also emphasises the importance of reasonable accommodations in the workplace and discusses the successes and limitations of legal and societal initiatives in the four case study countries. Conclusively, it calls for a holistic approach that includes improving legislation, enhancing support systems, and raising awareness to ensure the effective inclusion of PwID in the workforce, underlining the need for societal and legal reforms to bridge the gap between intention and practice in the employment of PwID.

This international study investigates the employability of People with Intellectual Disability (PwID) from the perspective of professionals in Italy, Portugal, Sweden, and Türkiye. Surveying 43 professionals through an online questionnaire, the research examines educational needs, the importance of reasonable accommodations, and evaluation frameworks in employment settings for PwID. Key findings highlight the critical role of social skills and interpersonal communication, with variations in focus across countries – Türkiye emphasises social skills, Sweden prioritises problem-solving abilities, and Italy values adaptive and self-care skills. The results advocate for customised educational strategies and the necessity of personal learning plans, especially in Portugal, Italy, and Sweden. Challenges in workplace accommodations due to limited employer awareness are also noted, with a call for increased use of assistive technologies to foster inclusive work and learning environments. The study underscores the need for tailored training and education to enhance the employability of PwID.
Empowerment through Language, Inclusive Models, and Activism: Nurturing Inclusion for Individuals with Intellectual Disability
Authors: Casimiro Cátia , Léste João , Sousa Carla
Published: May 2024

This chapter explores the pivotal role of language in the inclusion and empowerment of People with Intellectual Disabilities (PwID). It critically examines the historical evolution of language, highlighting the shift from ableist terms to more inclusive expressions, and the significance of adopting plain language to enhance informational accessibility for PwID. Moreover, it discusses the challenges posed by attempts to integrate gender-neutral language in texts, which may inadvertently increase their complexity. Through examples, it underscores the transformative potential of inclusive employment models in enriching corporate culture and adding value to businesses, while exploring the intersectionality of linguistic changes, including the impacts of gender neutrality on cognitive load and accessibility, proposing a nuanced approach to language that respects diversity while ensuring inclusiveness. Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis is aimed at fostering a more inclusive society through strategic linguistic and employment practices.
Recruitment and Job Coaching for and with Intellectual Disability
Authors: Cura Gülben , Kızılkum Şenay
Published: May 2024

This chapter explores the multidimensional facets of integrating individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID) into the workforce, highlighting the critical roles of job coaches and the importance of environmental assessments in job placements. The work discusses three primary employment models for people with ID: sheltered workplaces, supported employment, and competitive employment, each with its distinct set of stakeholders ranging from employers to families. By detailing the responsibilities of job coaches, including assessing the interests and abilities of individuals with ID, matching them with suitable jobs, and providing ongoing support and training, the study underlines the comprehensive approach required for successful job integration. Additionally, it underscores the need for job coaches to engage in activities beyond professional competencies, such as facilitating social interactions and advising on future career planning.

Como observação final, a equipa gostaria de salientar a importância de revisitar este e outros instrumentos para desenvolver versões dos mesmos em linguagem acessível, o que promoverá a sua acessibilidade cognitiva e a participação das Pessoas com Deficiência Intelectual no processo de investigação científica (Casimiro et al., 2023; McDonald et al., 2023).
Science in the service of politics. The cartographic representation of a local territorial context of the Kingdom of Naples in the early nineteenth century
Authors: Sisto Michele
Published: May 2024

The erudite priest Marciano Di Leo (1751–1819), a prominent personality in the historical and geographical panorama of his time, not only in his home territory, authored a vast literary and poetic production, but also tried his hand at producing some maps, referring to a province of the Kingdom of Naples. At a time when the principles of geodetic cartography had become increasingly known, even locally, hand in hand with improvements in technology and accuracy of measurements, the author reflects the historical narratives of progress of the European (and Neapolitan) Enlightenment and translates them into an unpublished manuscript of statistical, historical, and geographical nature, accompanied by numerous maps of various scales. The rediscovery of a largely unknown—and therefore not very thorough—minor cartographic production underscores the spread even in more marginal contexts of the most innovative ideas and increasingly precise scientific foundations in the cartographic-mathematical representation of the territory. It also illustrates the role of a number of intellectuals in the service of the political choices of their time, in an attempt-often unrealized-to bring about a decisive change of course in public administration, in accordance with Enlightenment ideals and in the spirit of reform that spread throughout Europe thanks to the French Revolution.

Regulating more? Comparing Ireland’s original and amended lobbying legislation
Authors: Hogan John
Published: May 2024

This paper compares the amendments introduced by the Regulation of Lobbying and Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) (Amendment) Act 2023 with the original regulations of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015. The study was conducted using the Hired Guns Method for assessing the robustness of lobbying legislation, developed by the Centre for Public Integrity (CPI), allowing findings to be compared with lobbying regulations internationally. The 2015 legislation was introduced after years of tribunals, scandals, unfulfilled political promises, and economic crisis, in an effort to increase the public’s trust in politicians, representative institutions, democracy and the wider bureaucracy. The 2023 Amendment came in the wake of a 2020 lobbying scandal. The paper finds that, despite the CPI score remaining unchanged, in-depth examination of the legislation showed that the amendment introduced more rules and sanctions, particularly in relation to designated public officials, and closed off outstanding legislative loopholes.
Housing and the West Cork islands: a national crisis in microcosm
Authors: Desmond Elaine , O’Sullivan Siobhan
Published: May 2024

This article explores the first academic study on the housing crisis on Ireland’s offshore islands through a case study of the experiences and views of islanders on the West Cork islands. The paper covers the risk which the current housing crisis in Ireland represents for the ability of the West Cork islands, already susceptible to depopulation, to retain the next generation of existing inhabitants and attract newcomers. Through a participatory research project conducted between October 2021 and November 2022, the article reveals the challenges facing the West Cork islands in terms of housing affordability, availability and quality, and how these impact on the sustainability of island living. It also documents innovative policies and initiatives that islanders would like policymakers to implement to ensure the housing crisis is addressed and full-time populations on the islands are secured and sustained. The article concludes by reflecting on the recentNational Islands Policy 2023–2033in light of the current study.
Social care managers’ perspectives on statutory registration of social care workers in Ireland
Authors: Moore Audrey , Lalor Kevin
Published: May 2024

The focus of this paper is social care managers’ views on the impact of the statutory registration of social care workers in Ireland. The findings suggest that registration is welcomed by social care managers who believe that it will impact positively on societal recognition of social care workers as professionals and that it will improve accountability within the sector. However, the findings also suggest that there is confusion regarding information about registration and issues remain in the sector regarding multiplicity of titles, roles, and duties of social care workers. We conclude that the opening of the register is only a further step towards the professionalisation of social care in Ireland and that more action is needed to address inconsistencies within the field of work.
Does Success Really Hurt? Impostor Syndrome Among Managers of Polish Enterprises – Results of a – Preliminary Qualitative Study
Authors: Kowalczyk-Kroenke Anna
Published: May 2024

Objective

The aim of the study presented in this article was to examine how people in independent senior management positions (exposed and highly placed in the organisational structure), who are perceived as successful people in the social space, perceive themselves and the achieved professional success, and to what extent the attitudes adopted, perceptions and evaluation regarding themselves can be identified with impostor syndrome. Successful people, especially in the context of professional success, are usually defined as those who, in the professional and social dimensions, have achieved above-average results expressed in social, financial, economic, and job status.

Methodology

This article presents the results of a preliminary qualitative study conducted among 32 senior managers, directors, and business owners employed in large Polish organisations and in subsidiaries of foreign companies located in Poland. The research used Rosenberg’s SES self-assessment scale and individual in-depth interviews (IDI).

Findings

The research showed to what extent the problem of impostor syndrome actually affects people who seemingly should not be affected by it (managers).

Value Added

Research shows how diverse the perception of professional success is among people holding prestigious managerial positions.

Recommendations

Further in-depth research should be conducted to explore additional, individual psychological aspects related to the sense of professional success among managers.
Employee Motivation in Contemporary Academic Literature: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Jarkovská Petra , Jarkovská Martina
Published: May 2024

Background

Using the correct type of motivation is pivotal in triggering employees’ affirmative work attitudes, such as work performance, job satisfaction, or voluntary retention, ultimately leading to increasing the organization’s overall efficiency. Despite the ongoing academic debate, academics provide practitioners with mixed results on which motivation factors are relevant for targeted employee groups whose needs are under the economic and socio-psychological pressure of the rapidly evolving environment. Elton Mayo was the first to acknowledge these socio-psychological factors as significant motivation drivers almost a century ago.

Methods

Therefore, the purpose of this paper, using the narrative literature review method (supported by a systematic search strategy) on 83 articles, is to evaluate the research findings on employees’ motivation (related to their affirmative work attitudes) and to unfold the motivation theory’s advancement.

Results

Key motivation drivers were identified and unified into five motivation sets applicable to different employee groups. The findings also suggest that most academic works, theoretically grounded in classical motivational concepts, are quantitative analysis-based.

Conclusion

To increase the efficiency of employees’ performance, internal motivation or internalization of external motivation seems to be the best solution. Employees’ “floating” needs call for practitioners to be trained in techniques from psychology.
