Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Actions for the Benefit of Persons in the Non-Mobile Age in the European Union Countries

Abstract The purpose of the paper is to assess the effectiveness of the applied solutions in individual EU countries in terms of supporting non-mobile people. Demographic aging affects most EU countries. It results in an increase in the number and proportion of older people and an increasing share of the post-working population. In such conditions, it is very important to maintain the activity on the labor market of people in the so-called non-mobile age. Maintaining professional activity depends on a number of factors, including, first and foremost, the assurance of openness in the labor market, adequate financial standing and medical care, and the ability to develop competencies and keep pace with technological change. This requires, on the one hand, the application of appropriate policies to this group and, on the other, the possibilities of the country. The study compared the situation of people in the indicated age group with the situation of the general population at working age.

Burnout and its Correlates - an Empirical Study Conducted Among Education, Higher Education and Health Care Professionals

Abstract Burnout has serious consequences both for individuals and the organizations they work in. The issue generates interest among psychologist and management professionals and - according to the subject literature - there is a growing demand for helping those professional groups who face the risk of experiencing the negative effects of an exhausting working life. The aim of this paper is to characterize the phenomenon of burnout in Poland in the selected professional groups. The primary research was conducted on June and July 2017 on the group of 153 people working in the following areas: healthcare, education, higher education. Two types of questionnaire were used for the purpose of this research. The first was an LBQ Burnout Questionnaire, which is an adaptation of an Italian Link Burnout Questionnaire. The other questionnaire was originally devised by the authors to assess the perception of the phenomenon among Polish employees. The article presents the results concerning all the methods used during research and compared the results of the LBQ and the original questionnaire.
