“…This only protracts recruitment processes and, as a consequence, generates additional costs for the organization. The organization has to deal with long-standing staff shortages, while the succession of knowledge in the organization is non-systemic and, above all, rather problematic (Pasieczny & Rosiak, 2021). These problems are noticeable even by clients who explain delays in procedures with staff shortages:…”

Theoretical background: An efficient public administration is a prerequisite for a harmonious development of business, and for the security and prosperity of society. Its rapidity and quality are particularly important in the situation of dynamic economic, political and social changes. However, the model upon which administration is built and functions fails to meet the requirements of the present day. The subject of dysfunctional bureaucracy has been thoroughly analyzed and described in detail. Blind adherence to regulations, reluctance to introduce changes and lack of motivation to help clients are well-known vices of bureaucratic organizations throughout the world. Although countless attempts have been made to change the way these organizations function, the design and implementation of such improvements is hindered by a variety of obstacles. In this article, we shall describe barriers to the process of implementing the concept of a learning organization in a large bureaucratic organization. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to discuss a number of barriers to the process of implementing the concept of a learning organization within a specific bureaucratic organization, namely the State Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service (Państwowa Inspekcja Ochrony Roślin i Nasiennictwa, PIORiN). The barriers discussed were identified in the course of research. Thus, the article adds to the existing body of knowledge about the functioning of bureaucratic organizations, their specificity and processes that take place within them. By identifying potential and actual barriers to the process of change, we can better understand organizational behavior. It also provides practical knowledge about the critical elements of the process of change. Research methods: Research was conducted within a large public institution in charge of phytosanitary controls. Three types of triangulation were used in the study: methodological, theoretical and investigator triangulation. Conclusions were drawn on the basis of a total of 51 interviews, of which 31 were conducted within the organization and 20 with external partners (clients). The basic tool used for collecting data was an open interview, always conducted by two researchers at a time. Interviews were transcribed and read on an ongoing basis with a view to carrying out a preliminary selection and category coding. Four team members participated in the coding process. Codes were subsequently analyzed and grouped into categories that served for drawing conclusions. Main findings: A number of barriers of great consequence for the process of implementing the concept of learning organization in administration have been identified; the most important are: excessive formalization, limited use of clients’ knowledge, insufficient financing, inadequate IT support, and limited cooperation with other public institutions.

“…New Public Management called for the use of business tools and techniques in the public sector. The efficiency of state institutions was to be achieved through decentralisation and managerialization (Pasieczny, Rosiak, 2021). The question that naturally arises in this connection is how to encourage professional managers to work in the public sector for salaries that are offered there.…”

Purpose: Paper is an attempt at theoretical and practical answer to the question about the economic preparation of young people for Economy 4.0. Design/methodology/approach: The paper consists of a literature study relating to research findings on multicompetence vs specialization of youth attending secondary schools and a review of own research with young people carried out as part of the project "New Generation in the New Economy" carried out at the Poznań University of Economics and Business in 2021- 2022.Findings: The results confirm high correlations between competencies. Authors calculated also the Competencies Index, as the arithmetic mean from normalized results of all measured competencies. This lead to the recognition of inconstant variabilities of competencies along the Competencies Index results. The variability of competencies levels is much bigger among students with average lower multicompentecies index. Research limitations/implications:The results of the conducted own research seem worth carrying out on subsequent groups of respondents and on a larger population of them. Particular attention should be paid to the research sample -panel studies taking into account cultural differences, age, gender and the type of school attended by the respondents seem particularly interesting in the future. The undertaken research topic is undoubtedly worth exploring and more extensive research. Practical implications: As indicated by literature research, the competences analyzed in the paper are the subject of interest of various stakeholders (including scientists, institutions and organizations responsible for education or the future of the labor market). Originality/value: The novelty of the paper comes from unique research consisting all the most important competencies. This allowed to measure the relations between them, calculate the multicompetencies index and check if inter-competency differentiation is different in the group of people well prepared for Economy 4.0 and in the group of people with worse preparation.

The project analysed the functioning of the State Plant Protection and Seed Inspection Service (SPHSIS), and this article presents a study of the international benchmarking of public administration (6 seed Inspections from European Union countries were analysed). The research question posed by the authors of this article is: how did this tool help in the development and strategy planning of a public administration unit? The project used a number of research steps, both directly dedicated to benchmarking and interviews with Service recipients or Inspection staff. The following recommendations for Inspections emerge from a comparative analysis: 1) the introduction of the digitalisation of services, which may enable an increase in customer orientations, 2) legal changes in Poland’s Inspection Service – increasing powers and building a single, national Food Agency. 3) Seed Inspection Service clients suggest increasing pro-export attitudes among ofﬁcials.
