“…In recent research with industrial cases [41], weighted values were extracted using AHP methods for efficient environmental decision making. Pawlewicz et al [42] employed AHP to understand and evaluate a regional development process with environmental, social, and economic aspects. Hence, prioritizing such elements may inform regional development evaluation and policy.…”

It is imperative to develop a methodology to identify river impairment sources, particularly the relative impact of socioeconomic sources, to enhance the efficiency of various river restoration schemes and policies and to have an internal diagnosis system in place. This study, therefore, aims to identify and analyze the relative importance of the socioeconomic factors affecting river ecosystem impairment in South Korea. To achieve this goal, we applied the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate expert judgement of the relative importance of different socioeconomic factors influencing river ecosystem impairment. Based on a list of socioeconomic factors influencing stream health, an AHP questionnaire was prepared and administered to experts in aquatic ecology. Our analysis reveals that secondary industries form the most significant source of stream ecosystem impairment. Moreover, the most critical socioeconomic factors affecting stream impairment are direct inflow pollution, policy implementation, and industrial wastewater. The results also suggest that the AHP is a rapid and robust approach to assessing the relative importance of different socioeconomic factors that affect river ecosystem health. The results can be used to assist decision makers in focusing on actions to improve river ecosystem health.

“…In order to create the index, the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) has been used. This method was developed by Hwaang and yoon (1981) and was used for creating synthetic indicators for regional development by Pawlewicz et al (2020) and Malinowski (2019). In our study, the following six steps were followed in order to create the SSRR index:…”

“…Step 6: Divide the regions into classes based on their results using the arithmetic mean and standard deviation. This is the same method as used by Fura and Wang (2017) and Pawlewicz et al (2020). The classes are divided by the following criteria: -Class I -structurally strong rural region when C i ≥ C i + S C i ; -Class II -moderately strong rural region when…”

AbstractThis paper aims to analyse to what extent the level and dynamics of development of rural regions located in two firmly different countries, Austria and Portugal, differ. In order to do this, an index to measure the ‘structural strength’ of rural regions was created. This index is a more holistic measure of socio-economic development than the traditional GDP per capita. After the identification of structurally weak regions in both Austria and Portugal, the paper compares them in the context of challenges faced by such regions.

“…In this study, the choice of the two countries was determined by the fact that until the 19th century, Lithuania and Poland functioned in Europe as The Republic of the Two Nations that had common law, many creators of art, historical and political personalities are considered a common cultural heritage, and before the Soviet occupation, a part of Lithuania was mostly Polish. In addition to the significant role played by Catholicism for a large share of citizens, which is related to civic self-awareness (Müller, 2011), comparing the nearest regions of Poland and Lithuania, Pawlewicz et al (2020) drew attention to the similarities in the socio-economic potential, as it was influenced by similar factors, including socio-economic change that took place in both states in the 1990s and the accession of states to the European Union in 2004. Some studies also show similarities in entrepreneurial problems (Greblikaite et al, 2016), education (Vandenheede et al, 2014) and values, which distinguish Lithuania and Poland from other post-Soviet states (Yen et al, 2020).…”

Research background: In spite of abundant evidence that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributes to improving the emotional state of employees as stakeholders and can serve as a useful tool for reduction of their turnover in organizations, until now, it remains unclear how the different status of CSR is related to consequences accompanying mobbing. Purpose of the article: This study compares the emotional state and intentions of Polish and Lithuanian organizations? employees who have experienced mobbing with regard to the status of CSR. The paper presents part of the results of a wider study conducted in two neighbouring states, which are exclusively related to the employees? emotional state and employee intentions after experiencing mobbing in the workplace. Methods: The research sample involved 823 respondents employed in Lithuania and Poland. The questionnaire survey was conducted using the questionnaire ?Mobbing as a Psychosocial Stressor in the Organizations Accessing and Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility ? MOB-CSR?. Comparisons are made with regard to and CSR and relate to Lithuania (LT) and Poland (PL), when organisations are divided into three groups: (I) Is CSR; (II) Seeks to be-come CSR and (III) Does not seek to become CSR. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used as the research methods. Findings & Value added: CSR is related to employees? better emotional state and lesser intentions to leave the organisation, but the study revealed unexpected results showing that according to certain parameters, the situation in the organisations seeking CSR was better than in those already declaring this status (e.g. the feeling of hopelessness, reluctance to seek better results, etc.). It is discussed why the results between countries that have similar historical experience and are culturally close differ. The conclusions emphasize the necessity for practitioners and researchers to evaluate the impact of change on employees? emotional state and intentions at different stages of CSR implementation more carefully. Besides, the results revealed a significant impact of the different status of enterprises with regard to CSR on employees? emotional state and intentions to stay in the job. This article contributes to the literature analysing organizational management by filling gaps in empirical research on CSR, mobbing, employees? emotional state and intentions in different cultures.
