CONVERGENCE OF ECONOMIC MODELS OF UKRAINE AND POLAND: EVOLUTION, MECHANISMS, EFFICIENCY
Abstract: Among the neighboring countries that are members of the EU (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland), Ukraine's closest trade and economic relations are developing with Polish partners. The article analyzes the features of the transformation processes in the two countries after the collapse of the USSR (1991), the reorientation of their political and economic aspirations from Moscow (CIS) to Brussels (EU). The importance and necessity of studying the experience of Poland in the process of its accession and strengthening of its positions in the EU were emphasized. The author investigated the factors, whose influence quadrupled the economic potential (GDP, nominal) of Poland in comparison with Ukraine for the period of 1991-2020. The purpose of this paper is to study trends in the development of bilateral trade and economic relations, to develop recommendations for the further expansion and diversification of trade in goods and services between countries, as well as to substantiate the need to use effective mechanisms and tools for the European convergence of the national economies of Poland and Ukraine. These proposals correlate with the European and Euro-Atlantic course of Ukraine with the active support of Poland as one of its most important strategic partners.

PROBLEMS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Abstract: Mechanical engineering is the most innovative segment of the world economy, and especially the economy of industrial European countries. The purpose of this article is to analytically identify the problems and outline the prospects for the development of mechanical engineering in Ukraine. According to the results of the authors’ research, the dynamics and features of production and foreign economic activity of mechanical engineering enterprises in Ukraine within the regional context are determined. The dependence of the Ukrainian economy on imports of mechanical engineering products is calculated, and the share of imports in the costs of Ukrainian mechanical engineering productions is determined. The key trends in the development of mechanical engineering in Ukraine during 2010-2020 are substantiated. The measures of the state industrial policy directed at overcoming the challenges and threats in the development of Ukrainian mechanical engineering in the conditions of globalization are offered.

IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE JOB ATTITUDES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A STUDY BASED ON CO-OP CITY MANAGERS OF MULTIPURPOSE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES, NORTH CENTRAL PROVINCE, SRI LANKA
Abstract: Co-operative society businesses are one of the major contributions to the Sri Lankan economy. The multipurpose co-operative societies provide several services to people. The study was based on the managers of the retail stores of multipurpose co-operative societies in the northern central province of Sri Lanka, as they have suffered losses for several years. The study assessed the impact of employee job attitudes on organizational performance with selected managers as a study sample. A survey questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data. The study was conducted to measure and identify variables. The data collected were fitted to the created model. Model validation was assessed using the validity test of Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. A correlation coefficient and a regres-sion analysis were used to analyze the dependencies between employee job attitudes and organizational performance to evaluate the hypotheses. All the hypotheses developed in the study were positively confirmed. The results of the study confirmed that managers have negative attitudes towards their employment, which has an impact on organizational performance. The study recommends that co-operative societies should have mechanisms to assess employee job attitudes and improve the quality of work-life to enhance organizational performance.
Keywords: co-operative societies, co-op cities and mini co-op cities, employee job attitudes, or-ganizational performance

IMPACT OF ECONOMIC INERTIA ON ECONOMICS: A METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Abstract: The article is devoted to the phenomenon of economic inertia. The authors of the study conducted sufficiently detailed research of economic inertia, on the basis of which the damage to the economy from various economic reforms or economic shocks can be revealed in a timely manner. as Additionally, guidelines can be outlined for further economic growth and sustainable economic development. In their in-depth research on the concept of economic inertia, the authors introduced into usage and employed new concepts of certainty, uncertainty, insufficiency and the redundancy of economic inertia. The authors delineated out as many as four levels of complexity of economic inertia uncertainty. The empirical research is based on a model of the impact of subsidies on the economy. The research model demonstrates that the use of subsidies decreases the market equi-librium price. Innovative companies lose motivation to pursue sustainable economic growth and ensure competitiveness. In this case, the phenomenon of economic inertia is obvious and deprives businesses of the incentives to use innovation to ensure eco-nomic growth. Thus, subsidies as a system of stimulus and rescue in the strategic as-pect of increasing competitiveness have negative effects on the country's economy.

SYSTEM FINANSOWANIA MEDIÓW PUBLICZNYCH W POLSCE I NIEKTÓRYCH KRAJACH EUROPEJSKICH – WYBRANE PROBLEMY
Streszczenie: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie mankamentów systemu finansowania mediów pu-blicznych w Polsce i możliwych zmian w jego obrębie. Od lat brak jasnych decyzji politycznych, a w konsekwencji – rozstrzygnięć ustawowych. Utrudnia to transparentne zarządzanie mediami publicznymi. Ustawa o radiofonii i telewizji sankcjonuje szczególną pozycję mediów publicznych, nie gwarantując stabilnego finansowania. W artykule przedstawiono systemy finansowania mediów publicznych w wybranych państwach UE i możliwe rozwiązania w Polsce. Tym samym pokazano ścież-kę dojścia do efektywnego sytemu finasowania, zarządzania i podnoszenia jakości w mediach publicznych, która dla wielu medioznawców jest warunkiem niezbędnym do funkcjonowania demokracji i społeczeństwa obywatelskiego.
Słowa kluczowe: abonament, media publiczne, skuteczny system finansowania mediów publicznych, zarządzanie finansami

Autor artykułu, w oparciu o przegląd literatury tematu, definiuje jakość w mediach, interpretując ustawę o radiofonii i telewizji. Ponadto przedstawia wybrane wyznaczniki wpływające na zarządzanie jakością w mediach publicznych, które przez dekady były traktowane jako synonim wysokiej jakości, tak w procesach zarządzania, jak i w zakresie proponowanej treści programowej. Autor, choć kładzie nacisk na procedury ustawowe, dodatkowo odczytuje je w porównaniu z modelami systemów zarządzania jakością, m.in. takimi jak cykl W.A. Deminga.
