Design/methodology/approach: The research covered employees of Polish small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises and was divided into three main stages. In the first two stages, the subjects for the research were selected, i.e. those companies that have achieved a high degree of digital maturity. Then, in order to identify and recognize which factors are most important for achieving employee job satisfaction in the Industry 4.0 era, a survey questionnaire was used for the study. Findings: Empirical research indicates the most important factors related to job satisfaction in manufacturing SMEs with a high degree of maturity level are: job security, autonomy, and empowerment. Research limitations/implications: The main limitation is the selection of the sample, i.e. Polish SMEs, as well as the last economic conditions and the global crisis, which can have an impact on the research results and limit the generalization of the results. Practical implications: The conducted empirical research contributes to the science and practice of management by providing insight into the premises and factors related to achieving job satisfaction in small and medium-sized industrial enterprises in the Industry 4.0 era.

{"title":"The demand for competence and qualification of medical personnel in the light of the results of empirical studies","authors":"M. Haberla","doi":"10.29119/1641-3466.2022.166.21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29119/1641-3466.2022.166.21","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The article's primary purpose is to present issues related to the demand for competence and qualification of medical personnel. The specific goal is to identify gaps in healthcare professionals' qualifications and competencies and prepare recommendations/ positions for system changes. Design/methodology/approach: The author based his considerations on Polish and foreign literature on the subject, studying scientific articles and electronic sources. The author used the following professional databases to collect scientific literature: the Library of Science and Google Scholar. The author then performed qualitative (qualitative research – individual in-depth interview) and quantitative (statistical – online survey) analysis based on extracting as much knowledge as possible from the collected quantitative data. Qualitative research is a qualitative technique for obtaining data in which an interview is conducted based on a previously prepared interview scenario. The IDI technique makes it possible to get – in direct interaction with the respondent - data of a qualitative nature, which, although it does not allow (due to lack of representativeness) to generalize it to the entire population under study, provides in-depth information within the framework of a specific research question. On the other hand, the statistical analysis made it possible to determine the extent to which a given phenomenon occurs, and then indicate the main trends observed in a specific area and environment. As part of the research, more than 1,000 CAWI interviews were conducted with owners of medical facilities (POZ), and medical and non-medical personnel. Findings: The level of competence of healthcare workers concerns all citizens. The Polish education system is mainly oriented towards professional skills training. Social competencies are acquired by medical graduates only when they begin their professional work. On the other hand, employers require documents confirming professional qualifications when looking for employees. Increasing the competencies and qualifications of the staff of medical institutions will contribute to the continuous development of POZ. It will be the foundation of the entire, efficiently operating healthcare system. Therefore, special attention should be paid to management, finance, personnel development, and the comprehensiveness of care. Social implications: The market for medical services is developing rapidly in Poland. According to a report by research firm PMR titled: „Private healthcare market in Poland 2022. Market analysis and development forecasts for 2022-2027\" (EMIS, 2022), price increases are one of the main challenges for the private healthcare sector. According to PMR, for the whole of 2022, prices for outpatient and other health-related services will increase by about 14 percent compared to 2021, which will, on the one hand, affect the nominal increase in the value of this market, but will also reduce its fundamental dynamics.","PeriodicalId":184741,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Papers of Silesian University of Technology.

{"title":"Challenges of the SMEs in the 21st century","authors":"Gerda Bak, Regina Reicher","doi":"10.29119/1641-3466.2022.166.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29119/1641-3466.2022.166.3","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study aims to identify the challenges, difficulties and opportunities for the SME sector in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries in the 21st century in the area of innovation and development, in particular digitalization. This research is justified by the prominent economic role of the SME sector and the key importance of adapting to the rapid pace of digitalization. Design/methodology/approach A literature review on this topic was used for the research, based on the Web of Science database. The scope of articles included in the survey was limited to peer-reviewed journal articles in English and published up to 2021. The process of selecting suitable studies for the search consisted of several steps, each of which aimed to include or exclude articles based on predefined criteria. Findings: The literature review has revealed significant gaps in the subject area. One of these is the lack of research on SMEs in the V4 countries. Another gap is the study of the relationship between SMEs and cloud computing from a computer science perspective, but other areas, not including the economic area, are less studied. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the research include the database on which the study is based, the volume of the database and the criteria for the articles included in the study. Social implications: The study provides an overview for academics of who is working on the topic, from what aspect research has been done so far, and the links between publications. However, it may also be of interest to professionals interested in the subject area, if they want to see what areas are worth addressing, taking into account or just want to get a more comprehensive picture of the V4 SMEs in relation to digitalization. Originality/value: The importance of the study lies in the fact that it sheds light on the unanswered questions in the field and on the areas that have been little or not at all investigated by researchers. It can be used as a guideline for future studies in the field of cloud computing adoption by SMEs. Keywords: challenges, digitalization, SMEs, literature review.
