The Study of Polish, French and American Universities","authors":"Zofia Glińska, Katarzyna Pogorzelczyk","doi":"10.12775/10.12775/JCRL.2018.016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/10.12775/JCRL.2018.016","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to identify the differences and similarities in applying positive leadership strategies in American, French and Polish universities. Design/methodology/approach: The research methods applied in the study include literature analysis and the online questionnaire survey conducted within university staff from the United States, France and Poland. Findings: The research has shown that generally speaking, the closest to Cameron’s (2012) positive leadership model is the image presented by the Americans. The French and the Poles should still work on implementing positive leadership strategies in their organisations to achieve extraordinary performance. The investigation has determined some beneficial takeaways for higher education institutions leadership. Research and practical limitations/implications: The paper has some limitations: a limited access to literature, a small size of the study sample, the questionnaire in English where for only one of the countries it is a first language. Originality/value: Embedding the research on positive leadership in various organisational and cultural contexts is one of areas which require more research attention. Among them the studies in the context of academia are worth mentioning. As of 13 May 2018, in the Scopus database, there were found no records including the conjunction of phrases ‘positive leadership’ and (‘university’ or ‘higher education institution’) in the titles of indexed articles. As regards the conjunction of phrases ‘positive leadership’ and ‘culture’, one item (Youssef-Morgan and Luthans, 2013) was found under the aforementioned criteria. With this paper an attempt to present current research on positive leadership strategies in the university context and contrast that with cultural dimensions will be taken.

Design/methodology/approach: The narrative literature review methodology is applied to achieve the aim of the study. The paper is divided into two main sections. In the first one, the development of the CSR concept is presented. In the second one, the variety of theories related to the issue of social responsibility of business organisations is discussed. Findings: The papers points out relations between development of the CSR concept and evolved theories referring to the matter of CSR. Research and practical limitations/implications: The article is theoretical and may be subject to further research. However, analysing the data basing only on the literature review may appear as the limitation of the study. Originality/value: A major concern of the article is the development of the CSR concept.

{"title":"Structure of Corporate Responsibility Reporting in Polish Organisations","authors":"J. Maj","doi":"10.12775/JCRL.2018.012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/JCRL.2018.012","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a long history, dating back to the 1950s and undergoing since than many changes. Although environmental responsibility is one of its fundamental paradigms, there are also other dimensions, which constitute CSR: the social dimension, focusing on people and the economic dimension. Studies suggest that organisations tend to a selective disclosure of non-financial information. This may lead to disparities in the nature of non-financial information disclosed. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to determine the structure of CSR information disclosed by Polish organisations. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis has been conducted on organisations listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. For this purpose sustainability reports made available by the organisations have been analysed using the Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines. The data has been analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings: The analysis shows, that organisations disclose non-financial information most specific in the category General Standard Disclosure. Within the category Specific Standard Disclosure, organisations are most likely to disclose social information followed by environmental information and economic information. However, within social information the disclosure level is not even. Most specific information is being disclosed in regard to the Labour Practices and Decent Work categories, while only a few organisations disclose Human Rights information. Research and practical limitations/implications: Due to the low number of organisations disclosing non-financial information in general, the results presented in this paper must be treated with caution, especially in regard to the attempt to show the structure of CSR reporting in particular industries. The practical implications of the results include the presentation of existing disparities within CSR reporting and thus point towards reporting areas, which need to be approached with more attention. Originality/value: Previous research relating to the disclosure of non-financial information focused mainly on selected industries. This paper evaluates CSR reporting in regard to all organisations listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Furthermore, previous research analysed mostly the disclosure level in selected categories, without showing the relation between the disclosure levels in all categories.

The purpose of this study is to challenge the universal concept of diversity and inclusion by obtaining practical insight into local phenomena. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical findings draw from communication campaigns and in-depth interviews. Findings: It has become apparent that diversity management does not transcend organisational or national boundaries. The results suggest that diversity practitioners ought to take into consideration the historical, political, and cultural contexts. Research and practical limitations/implications: Communi-cation campaigns rather than other management practices were examined. Future research should study the complexities of local diversity management practices and take into account the oper-ational challenges faced by employees in different departments. This study sheds light on the necessity to adapt carefully best practices that stem from corporate assumptions.

{"title":"Intersections Between Diversity Management and Human Resources Management in Polish Enterprises","authors":"J. Maj","doi":"10.12775/JCRL.2017.028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/JCRL.2017.028","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The organisational environment enterprises operate in is constantly changing. Organisations and whole industries seek new ways of achieving competitive advantage and becoming innovative. Additionally socio-demographic changes like population ageing, migrations force organisations to adapt their management styles. One of the possible solutions for those challenges is diversity man-agement. The main goal of this paper is to identify the intersections between diversity management and human resources management in organisations and in consequence to determine where in the organisations’ structure and strategy diversity management is being implemented in the analysed organisations. Design/methodology/approach: For the purpose of this paper tele-phone-depth-interviews (TDIs) with representatives from companies implementing diversity management were conducted. The enterpris-es were chosen through purposive sampling. The organisations were firstly screened for implementing diversity management through an analysis of their websites and reports. The organisations imple-menting diversity management and informing stakeholders about it through their websites and reports were further included into the study. The respondents chosen for the TDIs were representatives of the organisations responsible for diversity management or indicated by the company itself as the most competent to give information about the diversity management related actions of organisations. Findings: The conducted research suggests that analysed organ-isations implement a wide range of possible HR approaches to diversity management from diversity enlargement, implemented by most of the organisations through a special diversity orient-ed recruitment process, diversity sensitivity achieved mostly through diversity trainings, diversity audit realized through social and diversity indicators and reporting to the strategy for achieving organisational outcomes implemented by single organ-isations through developing a horizontal approach to diversity management. Research and practical limitations/implications: For the pur-pose of this paper a qualitative research approach was chosen. Therefore, the presented results are not representative, but, due to the fact that only a few organisations in Poland implement diver-sity management, the entities interviewed for the purpose of this paper can be treated as flagships of this strategy in Poland and as a kind of good practices. Originality/value: The paper examines the intersections between diversity management and human resources management in select-ed Polish organisations. Due to the fact that diversity management is not a widespread approach in Polish organisations, the paper gives insight into the exiting solutions of implementing it and combining it with human resources management.

One way to reach this advantage is to choose conception of human resources based on the diversity principle. The purpose of this paper is to establish the characteristics of a business model based on diversity management. Design/methodology/approach: The aim of this article was reached by an analysis of literature on human resources manage-ment, organisational diversity management and business model-ling. The text includes assessments of business models concepts, and conclusions on advantages and disadvantages of a diversity management-based model. The article is theoretical in nature. Findings: In the article it was emphasized that the main rationale for implementing diversity in market activity is to create a support for creativity, innovativeness and, as a result, better efficiency. So, the company generates profits through greater creativity. Apart from the economic results, social outcomes – such as greater job satisfaction and empathy – may be expected.

The overarching question is what are the key contributions of the literature to deliver support to linkage between these two concepts. The literature analysis is also aimed at organising existing knowledge and identifying the key problems, trends and gaps in research output. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a systematic review of the literature, a content analysis on 18 peer-reviewed journal articles has been carried out. The Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection databases are used as a source for the sampling process. Findings: First of all, the results of the study allow to conclude that very few publications ranked as business and social scienc-es comprise together diversity management and trust. Thus, the analysed area seems to be an attractive field for further research. Among existing literature seven key research areas were identi-fied, representing different approaches to the relationship between trust and diversity management. Research and practical limitations/implications: The Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection databases, which were used to identify the publications analysed, do not contain all publications in the field of the study. Different languages of full text constituted an additional obstacle. Originality/value: The paper contributes to the diversity manage-ment and trust literature in three ways. First, it discovers a research gap in the field of linkage between trust and diversity management. Secondly, it organises existing body of knowledge and finally it identifies the key problems and trends in research output.
