The Impact of Rail Infrastructure on the Military Security of the Republic of Poland
Get PDFIn the nineteenth century, there was a significant development of rail transport in Poland.

Dilemmas of Management Psychology in Building a Social Group in Military Institutions
Get PDFTechnological progress on the battlefield and the evaluation of the tactics of soldiers' actions entail a change in the philosophy of human resource management in military institutions, and thus a reorientation in the preparation of commanders-leaders to perform this mission. The modern soldier represents a different level of psychophysical resources. The new, more precise and at the same time more complicated to use equipment forces a change in the concept of preparing a soldier to perform tasks. Directing the development of the contemporary battlefield forces the continuous expansion of the cognitive level, both in the general and specialist area. This new approach to soldier formation shifts the centre of gravity in leadership formation to the area of cognitive resource development. This changes the emphasis of training and education towards the theory of social communication underlying the creation of psychophysical resources and issues related to the contemporary psychology of management in the military environment

The specificity of motivating in Polish transport companies
Get PDFEach organization and industry is specific, and the solutions functioning there are adequate to the nature of the company. In its entirety, this applies to transport companies that are growing dynamically, especially with regard to road and freight vehicle transport. These assumptions underlie the authors' scientific interest in one of the functions of management, which is motivation. The article shows that it is interpreted in many different ways. It has a special dimension when dealing with transport companies, where two main groups of employees can be distinguished: drivers and employees of other departments who care for the effective functioning of the company. It has been indicated that motivation plays an important role in achieving the set goals. In the case of transport companies, motivation is "governed" by slightly different laws than in the case of other economic entities. In the case of drivers, who are mainly men, the main motivator is cash prizes. The results of the conducted research showed that various types of motivators are appreciated in relation to the remaining employees of transport companies. Regardless of the function performed or the nature of the tasks performed, they are to be a positive stimulus of behaviour and attitudes aimed at achieving the company's goals

SELECTED ASPECTS OF MILITARY LOGISTIC SUPPORT TO PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN ELIMINATING THE EFFECTS OF CRISIS SITUATIONS
Get PDFIn part I, the article presents the characteristics of non-military crisis situations, including natural threats and technical failures, terrorist threats, hybrid activities and disturbance of public order. The specified crisis situations imply specific actions of the public administration, which carries out its mission on the basis of national and international legal regulations. However, the forces and resources of the civil administration are not always able to provide assistance to all victims of crisis situations, in accordance with the applicable procedures. The implementation of procedures for providing aid and liquidating the effects of crisis situations requires specific, logistically prepared forces and resources.The legal regulations introduced on the basis of experience, including Poland's membership in NATO, enable the use of military forces to provide logistical support to the administration in crisis situations, under the so-called crisis logistics.Hence, the second part of the article presents the legal basis for the use of the Armed Forces in the logistic support of the civil administration, with particular emphasis on engineering troops and their support components, prepared for the liquidation of the consequences of crisis situations
