“…The information and communication technologies significantly affect the general economic growth of the country, in particular, the education sphere (Bauters et al, 2021;Cosmulese et al, 2019;Samusevych et al, 2021;Yarovenko et al, 2021;Shkarlet et al, 2019). Scientific works (Aljoghaiman al., 2022;Nezai et al, 2022) present a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of higher education institutions in the world's countries precisely in terms of the technology and knowledge development.…”

The purpose of this work is to identify the functional links between key indicators of scientific activity and socio-economic development and to check whether the quality of scientific activity and the dynamics of innovative development are the key determinants of socio-economic progress. Following the chosen methodology, the paper forms an array of input data that characterizes the level of scientific and innovative activity, economic and social development. The principal component method is used to identify the most relevant indicators from each group and to introduce three latent variables that denote each group separately. A system of simultaneous structural equations is obtained as a result of establishing functional relationships between manifest and latent variables and building a structural model. In addition, the paper determines two clusters of the studied countries to confirm the obtained results through structural modelling. The study is conducted for 35 European countries based on 33 indicators, which characterize the quality of scientific activity, economic and social development during 2014-2020. The obtained system of structural equations confirms the hypothesis regarding the importance of scientific activity quality in terms of ensuring the socio-economic development of the country.

University-industry collaboration in R&D has great potential as a partnership that promotes sustainable development. This article aims to confirm that university-industry collaboration in R&D contributes to reducing the size of informal economy and strengthening sustainable development. Correlation and causal analysis are applied to achieve this goal: Shapiro-Wilk test, Pearson’s and Spearman correlation methods, vector autoregression and Granger causality test are used on the basis of STATA software for a cross-country sample of 10 countries with the highest Sustainable Development Index over 2011-2018. Research results show that stronger university-industry R&D collaboration contributes to more robust sustainable development in 6 out of 10 sample countries and shrinking informal economy in 4 out of 10 countries. In turn, growth of the informal economy leads to a decrease in university-industry R&D collaboration in 5 out of 10 countries and inhibits sustainable development in 7 out of 10 countries. In conclusion, policymakers should transform the national policy and strategy to emphasize and strengthen R&D cooperation between the universities and the industry.

“…Remote employees may experience a sense of professional isolation due to their limited knowledge about organizational happenings and reduced interaction with colleagues. This can lead to feelings of exclusion within the work environment (Bauters et al, 2021;DiabBahman and AlEnzi, 2020;Staniec, 2021). Furthermore, inadequate communication can contribute to social isolation and feelings of loneliness (Williamson, Colley, and HannaOsborne, 2020), and the limited feedback received from the office can create uncertainty about whether they are fulfilling their responsibilities effectively (Watson and Lightfoot, 2003).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the experiences of university teaching staff in Poland in a forced work-from-home situation and its impact on autonomy, productivity, labour relationships, work-life balance, and job satisfaction. A conceptual model based on the literature review was built and empirically verified using structural modelling. A pandemic-enforced shift to remote work negatively affected job satisfaction, increased productivity and reduced autonomy perceived by the university teaching staff. This study differs from the previous ones in that the requirement for mandatory remote work during the crisis has a different impact on employees’ perceptions of autonomy, satisfaction, productivity, work-life balance, and relationships compared to when the transition to remote work was a voluntary choice. Plenty of lessons remain to be learned from the initial response to the COVID-19 crisis and experience acquired under the disruptive circumstances of the pandemic. Universities should pay closer attention to the needs of employees and current digitalization trends and implement specific strategies to foster work-life balance so that research and teaching staff can develop academic activities and provide expected results even in an unfavourable environment while maintaining teaching quality. In the long run, these actions can lead to the creation of agile universities.
