The paper investigates the psychological factors associated with the unprecedented assistance that Poles have offered refugees from Ukraine since the outset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Building on social identity theory, and examining the current social context in Poland, we focus on three social identity dimensions, i.e., a feeling of closeness towards refugees from Ukraine, anticipatory fears (of a Russian invasion), and a community norm of helping. These three dimensions predict collective helping resulting from a sense of a common fate and a feeling of togetherness with Ukrainians. We tested this hypothesis in a study (N = 1066) conducted between 11 and 17 March 2022. Participants were asked about their helping activities during the previous week; they also responded to questions on different measures of social identity processes. The results support our expectations, revealing that closeness, anticipatory fears, and social norms are associated with two forms of help: benevolent and activist. The results of the study contribute to the discussion on social identity processes underlying offers of help to people fleeing from war-zones. Thus, they enhance our understanding of the role of citizens in terms of their contribution to helping refugees, and can be used to improve responses to other humanitarian crises.

Kaczmarczyk [10] describe the pressure on the labor market of Poland exerted by the reception of refugees from Ukraine. They note the inconsistency of the candidates' existing skills with the needs of the labor market.…”

Introduction. The emigration of more than 5.5 million citizens of working age and the internal displacement of more than 7.7 million Ukrainians after the start of the full-scale war with Russia caused changes in the HoReCa labor market. Problem. The portrait of an employee in the HoReCa sector in Ukraine and abroad has changed significantly. Therefore, the study of the state of the labor market in the field of restaurant industry in wartime conditions is relevant. The aim of the work is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian labor market state in the field of restaurant business in war conditions, to determine the main trends and prospects for further development. Methods. General scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, isolation, generalization and resulting systematization of the researched material are applied. Results. As a result of the war there was a decrease in the market potential of the restaurant business. Consequently, the labor market changed its orientation from the employee to the employer. Candidates are forced to give in to salary interests and adapt to new realities of work. The number of line workers is reduced as much as possible, resulting in an increase in the number of responsibilities of the rest of the staff. The Ukrainian restaurant business market suffers from a lack of qualified personnel, some of whom are mobilized, belong to IDPs or refugees. The labor market potential of the restaurant business abroad is analyzed. As a result, a portrait of a potential employee in the wartime restaurant business is described. Conclusions. There will be a significant personnel update, we will have to reckon with changes in the portrait of a potential employee, and these circumstances will have a negative impact on business in general. While the Ukrainian restaurant market is undergoing structural changes, nothing will fundamentally change abroad.

The armed conflict in Ukraine has caused a lot of emotions around the world. Many countries have been involved in helping brutally attacked people, especially mothers and children. The versatile involvement of large powers is monitored and noticeable by the media. Active help from Poland is a very visible sign of human solidarity with the suffering Ukrainian nation. Open hearts, houses and institutions and humanitarian and medical aid are elements of Polish kindness and empathy. The aim of the research was to collect Poles’ opinions about the need to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians from the territories of the Russian–Ukrainian war. Capturing feelings of Poles towards Ukrainians during the war is an interesting issue that shows subjective opinions about the existential situation perceived in the space of mutual personal interactions. The results showing opinions on help were collected from a group of 1012 people throughout Poland with the help of an authorial questionnaire. The obtained data shows a positive attitude of Poles to Ukrainians. The most willing to help are people over 49 years old, more often with a good and very good financial situation. Respondents believe that general assistance from other countries and the European Parliament is not sufficient. Military support is accepted the most by the oldest participants of research, and less by the age group up to 30 years who support medical help more. More concerned about the ongoing conflict are respondents under the age of 30 and the least wealthy, including, more often, women. The richest respondents are least afraid of the effects of the ongoing Russian–Ukrainian conflict. The conducted research confirms the openness of Polish society to refugees and brings opinions about existential solidarity with the suffering Ukrainian nation.
