“…Therefore, the importance of the Big Five traits in professional development was taken into account. Personality traits have been found to be a predictor of: employment instability (Wille et al, 2010); the intensity of job search activities (Pavani et al, 2021); and career change and employability decisions (de Vos et al, 2021). Moreover, career exploration correlates negatively with neuroticism, but positively with openness to experience, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (Li, Guan et al, 2015).…”

The result of an effective management of the redistribution of European Union funds should be a reduction of disparities between EU regions by guaranteeing their comprehensive and harmonious development and supporting the economic and social cohesion of member countries. A poorly-conducted programming process of fi nancial interventionism, the source of which is EU funds, may result in divergence between regions, the direct effect of which would be their social and economic marginalisation. For this reason, it is important to skillfully manage those funds. The main aim of this article is to present the factors affecting the decision-making process of the use of EU co-fi nancing, and that includes the pandemic as an external variable being a threat to the implementation of investments from the EU's structural funds. To explain the multivariate associations between explanatory variables and the binary outcome variables, logistic regression was employed. Based on the tests' results, signifi cant associations were observed between the dependent variable and (a) participation in training co-fi nanced by EU funds, (b) receiving information regarding additional EU funds as pandemic support, and (c) the suspension of planned investments using EU funds due to the pandemic situation. A comprehensive distribution of respondents according to the response categories in the analysed variables within the entire sample (N = 950) was presented. Corresponding associations were evident within a sub-sample (N = 303). The model showed that all signifi cant independent variables explain the use of EU funds, but the model explains just 28.6% of the 8 Studia Europejskie -Studies in European Affairs, 1/2024 decision to use the funds. Thus, the following study indicates directions that require further research.

“…Interestingly, anxiety even appears to have a detrimental effect on problem solving among certain individuals. In these individuals, anxiety fosters engagement in the repetitive rehearsal of negative thoughts (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006;Pavani et al, 2017), in turn discouraging them from engaging in problem-solving behaviors (Lyubomirsky et al, 1999;Pavani et al, 2021).…”

“…Another influential hypothesis in psychology research is that the impact of anxiety on problemsolving behaviors differs between individuals according to their personality (e.g., Pavani et al, 2021;Robinson et al, 2010). For instance, it has sometimes been observed that the higher individuals' neuroticism is, the stronger their inclination is to reduce their problem-solving behaviors in reaction to anxiety states (Lyubomirsky et al, 1999;Pavani et al, 2021). Consequently, we also decided to test whether eco-anxiety at t1 could influence pro-environmental behaviors at t2 differently according to individuals' personality.…”

“…Finally, research on emotions and problem-solving behaviors frequently examines the reverse influence that problem solving exerts on emotions (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 1990;Pavani et al, 2021). Therefore, we decided to study not only the effect of eco-anxiety at t1 on pro-environmental behaviors at t2 but also the reciprocal influence of pro-environmental behaviors at t1 on eco-anxiety at t2.…”

Recent studies suggest that eco-anxiety motivates pro-environmental behaviors. However, these studies are all cross-sectional in nature, and they frequently neglect possible important confounding variables (e.g., ecological identity). The present study was designed to deepen our understanding of the effect of eco-anxiety on pro-environmental behaviors by addressing the abovementioned limitations of recent research. The present study consisted of a 2-wave longitudinal study in which eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors as well as possible confounding variables (i.e., ecological identity and personality) were assessed among French adults. As hypothesized, individuals' experience of eco-anxiety at t1 was positively and significantly related to individuals' engagement in pro-environmental behaviors at t2. This significant positive relationship was observed even when ecological identity, the Big Five domains of personality, and proenvironmental behaviors at t1 were controlled for. It thus appeared that compared with individuals with low levels of eco-anxiety at a given time, individuals with higher levels of eco-anxiety at a given time displayed a greater likelihood of experiencing increases in their subsequent engagement in pro-environmental behaviors. The results are discussed in light of current knowledge about the function of anxiety.
