The objective of the argument in this paper is to attempt at answering the question whether learning and knowledge exchange are the key factors determining online work preferences for Generation Z employees. Design/methodology/approach: The essence of knowledge management is that all knowledge, both explicit and tacit, accumulated by an organization becomes easily accessible to each of its members. This is important for decision-making processes and allows the organization to become more agile. Knowledge management is most often associated with modern information technologies. Thanks to them, streams of various data can be processed and analyzed in many different ways. However, in the literature there is an increasingly common attitude that more attention should be paid not only to the technological but also to the human aspect of knowledge management. The processes of knowledge exchange among employees have been subject to extensive research and studies, yet the recent years have added another thread to the discussion about the matter, i.e. a significant proportion of employees switching to the online work model. Based on the findings of the studies conducted on a group of employees representing Generation Z, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique was applied to organize the factors with the highest relevance for the respondents in online work. Findings: PCA demonstrated that the components recognized as most important were those relating to knowledge transfer and their impact on employee efficiency, and on the other hand employee relations as a factor that supports the learning processes. Research limitations/implications: In order to dwell upon the underlying causes of this situation, it should be recommended to proceed with further in-depth qualitative research. Practical implications: What the research communicates to the organization is that although Generation Z members are aware of the significance of the knowledge transfer and learning processes and they understand the role of peer relations in these processes, they are unable to overcome the social barriers created by the online working system due to lack of appropriate skills. Originality/value: The paper reveals new aspects that play crucial role in shaping Generation Z attitude to online work from one side. On the other hand it also helps to design synthetic tool researching this area in the future.

This research aims at woven bamboo handicrafts which are one of the superior products of Magetan Regency. The problem that occurs is that innovation is not optimal, because the quality of the workforce is still low. Bamboo woven handicraft products cannot yet have an export market. The lack of coordination between craftsmen, distributors and the government resulted in a weak institutional structure. The purpose of this research is to determine the strategy for increasing the competitiveness of the small bamboo woven handicraft industry in the Ringinagung area, Magetan district. The method used is analytical descriptive. The instrument in the form of a questionnaire given to 5 key respondents. The research used the Process Hierarchy Analysis (AHP) technique. The results of the study show that there are five areas of strategy including 1). Innovation 2). HR, 3). Production , 4). Marketing, and 5) Institutional

The article aimed to present the balance of outlays and the effects of restructuring Polish hard coal mining companies in the face of directions of the Energy Policy of Poland PEP 2040. The research problem is defined by the following question: have the goals of restructuring coal mining companies been achieved (and to what extent), and has the restructuring-related expenditure been economically rational? An answer to this question is based on the verification of five research hypotheses, in particular, have the incurred costs of restructuring contributed to changes to the energy mix (its desired time and degree), reducing related expenditure? The scope of research comprises all companies engaged in the extraction of solid mineral energy resources (the entire industry). An assessment of the restructuring process was conducted from two perspectives related to its time and scope. The first perspective was the restructuring programme as a sub-process of the economic transformation (1990–2020), and economic forecasts until the planned coal phase-out (2021–2049). The second perspective was an analysis of the mechanism that determines companies’ performance after carrying out typical and direct restructuring activities (2007–2021). Two multivariate measures were developed for methodological purposes, and the analysis also made use of a logit prediction model and several financial analysis ratios. The analysis led to the general conclusion that the restructuring of hard coal mining companies was not effective—it did not ensure their independent and effective functioning. In particular, the analysis led to the following conclusions: (1) the restructuring process had different levels of intensity, which allowed for its periodization; (2) the main and increasingly important factor of changes was human labour productivity (as opposed to objectified labour—machines and equipment); (3) the identified mechanism of creating results pointed to the areas of inappropriate management; (4) the previous restructuring costs did not contribute to changing the energy mix, and they are likely to rise until coal phase-out.
