The effect of the banking systems of the Arctic Council countries on their economic development

This article considers the human capital development in the Russian Arctic regions as a basis for economic, social and demographic development. The article highlights main human capital theories and changes of its concept undergone over the past years. Human capital components were analysed using demographic resources capital (natural increase, migration growth), health capital (life expectancy, morbidity, mortality), education capital (level and structure of education, level of employment). In the last decade of the 20th century, the Russian Arctic regions lost their attractiveness as a labor market and experienced the negative migration. After the 2010s, the increased state’s interest changed migration trends and natural population growth there. The demographic capital is more prosperous in the Russian Arctic zone than in other Russian regions. It is not typical for other countries and shows little impact of living conditions in Russia (harsh climate, underdeveloped infrastructure) on population growth. The employment structure shows that workers with higher and secondary professional education replace less educated workers. High mortality and morbidity of the population demonstrate low health indicators and problems with health care system in the Arctic regions. In conclusion, summary and recommendations are made to improve the human capital quality in the Russian Arctic regions.

Deep organisational changes that the banking sector has undergone, also in terms of working conditions, resulted in the increase of emotional tension experienced by its employees. However, the stress levels commercial and cooperative bank workers suffer from are unequal, as the management methods implemented by the two types of banks are different. The aim of the study is to compare the stress levels of employees of commercial and cooperative banks in Poland. A hypothesis has been formulated that the Perceived Stress at Work (PSwP) questionnaire, stress indexes, classification trees CHAID and CRT and tests of difference significance can be successfully applied to carry out comparative analyses of stress levels among bank employees. The paper is based on the results of the author’s own survey conducted in the years 2016– 2019 on a group of 2,357 bank employees in Poland, and, as a background for the analyses, on the results of a similar study done in Russia. It was found out that the level of stress observed among employees of commercial banks was higher than that of cooperative bank workers; additionally, the difference was particularly visible in certain groups of employees (e.g. in operational units and regional branches, among employees who worked up to 41.5 hours a week, according to the CRT method). Strong pressure to achieve the best possible sales results cause higher levels of stress among employees of commercial banks. Moreover, the increase in the use of information technology as well as internal competition in the workplace may affect stress levels. The conducted research demonstrates that the PSwP questionnaire and the applied statistical methods prove adequate tools for performing stress level comparative analyses.
