“…Among the steps defined within the life cycle impact assessment phase of the standardized LCA methodology, only classification and characterization stages were undertaken (ISO 14040, 2006). The characterization factors reported by the ILCD method were used (Wolf et al, 2012). The following nine impact potentials were evaluated according to the selected method: climate change (CC); ozone depletion (OD); particulate matter (PM); photochemical oxidant formation (POF); acidification (TA); freshwater eutrophication (FE); terrestrial eutrophication (TE); marine eutrophication (ME) and mineral, fossil and renewable resource depletion (MFRD).…”

“…As part of sustainable development, it is necessary to reduce the negative impact of SMEs on natural environment (Khan et al, 2021;Wolf, Chomkhamsri, 2015). However, actions that reduce negative impact should be combined with actions that achieve customers' requirements from products' quality (Ostasz et al,…”

The originality of the conducted research lies in a holistic approach to analysing entrepreneurs' satisfaction, identifying statistical relationships between satisfaction and diverse economic behaviours, and exploring the role of emotions in making business decisions. This collectively provides a new perspective on the behavioral finance of businesses. Literature reviewEmotions play a significant role in the process of making business decisions. Despite the common tendency to focus on data and facts analysis, it is emotions, both conscious and hidden, that influence the shaping of strategies, the selection of business partners, and the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs, considering their personal emotions, introduce a subjective element into the decision-making process, which can lead to both successes and failures.The origin of the word "emotion" derives from the Latin verb "motere," meaning "to move".However, to fully understand the meaning of this term, it is worth noting the prefix "e-", suggesting something more than just movement or stirringit may indicate an additional, extended, or surpassing basic activity. This prefix indicates that emotions have a tendency to act or react (Goleman, 1997, p. 27). Emotions are not only associated with experiencing specific mental states but also with a tendency to evoke particular behaviors or reactions. They are deeply embedded within a person and often guide their actions and influence the decisions made.According to D. Goleman, emotions can be defined as a complex blend of feelings and thoughts that are associated with specific psychological states and biological reactions of the organism. These emotional states, along with predispositions to action, constitute an integral part of the human heritage passed down to us by evolution (Goleman, 1997, p. 442). D. Goleman asserts that emotions essentially serve as stimuli shaping an individual's readiness for action. These are rapid life-saving or life-sustaining plans embedded in our psyche by evolutionary history. Emotional reactions triggered by various situations, such as fear, joy, anger, or sadness, not only influence human thoughts and feelings but also activate instincts and prepare individuals to take appropriate actions at the given moment. Therefore, comprehending emotions is crucial for a better understanding of human behaviour and responses in various life situations.Another renowned psychologist, R. Lazarus, proposes a more intricate approach to emotions. He contends that emotions result from an individual's appraisal of a situation, rather than being merely reactions to specific stimuli. According to his theory, emotions are more

“…Sustainable production has a production and upstream perspective, searching opportunities to alter production processes and related activities in a more sustainable direction, sustainable consumption is directed to how and why goods and services are demanded, used, and consumed [8]. The sustainable production concept has been developed to align industrial sustainability with the global challenges of sustainable development [9].…”

Companies struggle with maintaining staff turnover at a low and sustainable level. Hiring a new employee means costs for the company, such as recruitment, medical examinations, and training, etc. In addition, new employees must learn to perform their tasks properly and quickly, which can take up to several months. Disabled employees change jobs less frequently due to the fact that it is difficult for them to find a new one. For employers, such an employee, if they have the same skills as a fully functional employee, can therefore be very valuable, for example, in relation to the reduction of costs associated with frequent employment of new employees. In addition, employing people with disabilities also brings social benefits related to counteracting social exclusion and the possibility of independent living by such people. The human factor is an element that greatly influences sustainable production. The objective of the research was to verify the potential of hiring disabled employees in order to reduce staff turnover. In other words, the analysis has been designed to understand if hiring disabled staff, making expenditures to prepare the workplace and training for them could be potentially efficient in terms of obtaining a higher level of sustainability of the employment in the company. The research has the form of direct (in-depth) interviews in the case of representatives of the companies involved, and a paper questionnaire for the disabled subjects (employees). It took place from September to December 2020 and was the basis for the statistical hypothesis testing. The conducted research was based on a statistical U Mann–Whitney test and fi Yule index calculation. The results showed that people with disabilities remain employed by the same employer longer in comparison to “able-bodied” employees, meaning it may be worthwhile to make extra expenditures to hire disabled persons who could become loyal employees for years. Moreover, it has been statistically proven that the key factor influencing the attractiveness of a given job for a disabled person depends on the type of disability they have.
