- Inércia organizacionalPublication . Swiatkiewicz, OlgierdUltimamente muitas investigações têm sido levadas a cabo em diferentes áreas das Ciências Sociais e Humanas, nas quais o fenómeno de inércia, suas causas e resultados têm sido estudados, a saber: na Filosofia (Ética e Praxeologia), na Psicologia ou na Teoria Organizacional. Todavia, parece que a literatura científica das Ciências Sociais, maioritariamente baseada em estudos empíricos, nos quais a inércia é uma das variáveis independentes, carece de reflexão teórica. O problema de inércia organizacional é analisado no presente artigo como um caso específico da inércia do comportamento humano. Este artigo aborda apenas algumas questões relacionadas com a inércia do comportamento humano: o problema da aplicação directa do princípio mecânico para a área psicossocial, algumas concepções deste fenómeno nas Ciências Sociais com especial enfoque na Teoria organizacional, bem como a avaliação deste fenómeno. Por estas razões, o texto concentra-se nos aspectos conceptuais do fenómeno, levantando mais questões do que dando respostas. Tem um carácter introdutório a futuras investigações.

- Praxeological and ethical limits for incorporation of ethics and CRS into a corporate strategy and operational activitiesPublication . Swiatkiewicz, Olgierd; Michalski, MarekOne can observe in the whole Europe a general trend to include ethics and corporate social responsibility into corporate strategy and operational activities. Institutional, public, corporate and competitors’ pressure reinforce the increasing popularity of the corporate social responsibility concept. It sometimes even happens that it is done without any preoccupation with risks and threats it may have to the business bottom line and to the interests of those stakeholders the company should first attend. We describe the praxeological limits, submitted to the criteria of efficiency and effectiveness, of including ethics and corporate social responsibility into a corporate strategy and operational activities by reviewing the literature on these issues. We also discuss the other side of the problem, namely its ethical limits, in general terms though, focusing on axiological aspects of these matters. The analysis concludes by emphasizing the practical sense of the golden mean.
- Competências transversais, técnicas ou morais: um estudo exploratório sobre as competências dos trabalhadores que as organizações em Portugal mais valorizamPublication . Swiatkiewicz, OlgierdNeste artigo, aborda-se em termos gerais a problemática das competências e habilidades dos trabalhadores: um tema confuso e controverso com diversos resultados empíricos e muitas inconsistências, mas que continua a proporcionar oportunidades de pesquisa. Por meio do binômio soft skill e hard skill, almeja-se identificar o papel que as competências morais desempenham. No estudo empírico realizado com uma amostra de conveniência de trabalhadores estudantes portugueses, buscou-se responder a seguinte pergunta: “Dos três tipos de competências (transversais, técnicas ou morais), qual é mais valorizado nas organizações em Portugal, segundo a percepção dos trabalhadores e não dos gestores?”. Por isso, e com base em revisão da literatura, foram primeiramente caracterizados os traços dominantes da cultura portuguesa. Para categorizar as respostas dos entrevistados a uma questão aberta, recorreu-se à análise de conteúdo/redução fenomenológica. Os resultados obtidos, além de sua finalidade exploratória, indicam claramente a preferência pelas competências transversais e um interesse secundário e marginal nas competências morais. Essa conclusão, no entanto, demanda confirmações mais robustas por futuros estudos.
- What kinds of skills are expected by Portuguese and Polish employers?Publication . Swiatkiewicz, Olgierd; Perło, Dariusz; Perło, DorotaThe main objective of the research was to establish which skills and competencies are mostly demanded by organizations/employers in Portugal and Poland. Secondly, we wanted to determine if there are any differences in this type of skills and competencies in these two countries. In order to analyze the skills necessary in organizations, we applied the typology of soft and hard skills. In the analysis, we had to distinguish moral competencies from soft skills, due to the specificity of the formers. In the research, we use the mixed qualitative-quantitative methodology. In the survey, carried out on convenience samples composed of Portuguese and Polish working students, the respondents were eager to answer one open-ended question and describe/list the skills/competencies demanded by organizations. In order to categorize the answers, we employed a two-stage process of phenomenological reduction. For the purpose of conducting a comparative analysis of the data and due to a wide dispersion of results in the case of soft skills in the two samples, we grouped the soft skills according to the ESCO and interpreted the differences by referring to the cultural dimensions introduced by Hofstede et al. [2011].
- Linking CRS to strategy: a practical viewPublication . Swiatkiewicz, OlgierdThe purpose of this paper is to present a basic compendium of how companies can integrate social responsibility into their strategies. The paper analyzes and synthesizes ideas and proposals based on the literature review from different fields. It proposes a practical approach that does not highlight the differences but the positive and mutual synergy of social responsibility with firm’s strategy. There are many practical proposals in the literature and a lot of successful examples from business practice that show how organizations can or have made the implementation of social responsibility into their strategy to work efficiently, but their strategic, social, and environmental importance differs and is limited by many factors. The paper presents different means of connecting social responsibility with organizational strategy to make it work, which can be useful for practitioners, students, and wider public. The paper adds the praxiological or practical perspective to deal with a small but persisting organizational problem and a great social expectation, how to link efficiently social responsibility with organizational strategy into one coherent stream of purposes.

Then we present the history of the development of the company and the brand Delta Cafés. The paper ends with concluding remarks in which we discuss the issues of social and environmental responsibility in the light of the development of Delta Cafés business and brand strategies.
