The article is devoted to determining the significance of corporate events in the system of motivation of employees of locomotive crews (on the example of one of the locomotive depots of the Sverdlovsk Railway), identifying the nature of the social request for their implementation on the part of the labor collective. Pointing to the socio-demographic characteristics of the contingent, the authors determine the degree of participation of drivers and assistant drivers in corporate events and the level of satisfaction with them, determine the priority formats of events of interest and forms of leisure during off-duty hours in terms of their impact on labor motivation. The results are based on the data of a sociological study (April-May 2020) using the methods of an online and offline questionnaire survey, which was attended by 127 drivers and assistant drivers (50 people in offline format and 77 in online format); to determine the existing problem field and adjust the research tools, a guide interview with the deputy head of the enterprise for human resources and social issues was implemented. The measures developed on the basis of the results of the study will strengthen the motivational impact of events of interest on the work behavior of employees of the enterprise, especially during the pandemic.

By introducing the assumptions of social participation into the practice of implementing revitalization projects, we assume that through dialogue, even if sometimes difficult, a compromise and agreement can be reached, which may result in cooperation in the implementation of a given project. The aim of this text is to present a practical application of the idea of dialogue and social participation, the theoretical context of which was de-scribed in the first part of the text in the process of developing and implementing the Local Revitalization Pro-gram of the City of Wojkowice which was reported in the second part of it. Civil dialogue can be understood as a more or less institutionalized form of conducting broad social consultations in the aspect of planning, solving and making decisions on socially important issues in a given group or community. Anna Olech and Tomasz Kaźmierczak (2011), proposed four models of public participa-tion. The basis for their separation and differentiation is the level and scope of their influence on the decision-making process of various social partners. The presented considerations refer to the experience and observations collected during the project titled Wojkowickie Social Revitalisation Laboratory implemented as part of the project entitled Silesian revitalization programs – support for municipalities, financed under the Operational Program Technical Assistance 2014–2020. The Social Work Unit of the Institute of Sociology, US team was involved in the work on the development of the Local Regeneration Program, especially in relation to the social issues of this document. Referring to the models of participation carried out in the revitalization activities referred by Krzysztof Skalski, it can be stated that the activities undertaken in the process of developing the Local Revitalization Pro-gram in the City of Wojkowice are close to the model with the highest degree of participation. Another issue is whether the idea of broad social participation will be maintained in practice at the implementation stage of this program.

The article presents the data of a sociological study conducted among the population of the Altai Territory (n = 1200). The purpose of this work is to determine the relationship between the population's perception of corruption and the level of social trust. Within the framework of this article, the characteristics of the level of generalized, interpersonal, particular and institutional trust were given. Perceptions of corruption were examined at the social, group and individual levels. An analysis was also made of the degree to which the population feels that they are protected from corruption. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the perception of corruption depending on the socio-demographic characteristics of the population (gender, income, education, social status). As a result of the classification carried out using the decision tree method, it was revealed what role generalized, interpersonal, particular and institutional trust plays in conjunction with the socio-demographic characteristics of the population and the feeling of their protection from corruption in the structure of positive / negative perception of corruption by the population in the public, group and individual level.

The issue of disability is one of the most important social issues in all human societies. Disability has become particularly important as a result of the statistics done by many international organizations and bodies. These statistics have strikingly confirmed high rates of disabilities. It is worth noting that these high rates of disability are viewed as a real waste of human resources in the human society, where human resources are one of the most important elements of its development. Every child who is born in a family and diagnosed as a disabled child with one of the motor, mental, sensory or social disabilities makes changes in the social environment where he or she lives. The change starts in concepts and determinants of family members' understanding of the new situation.

The article examines the state of motivation and the level of satisfaction of employees (on the example of working students and teachers of higher education institutions) in the pandemic and presents the most significant instruments for their strengthening. In particular, the authors, based on the results of a sociological study, define that in the context of the pandemic, the values of employees have changed, which causes the need to strengthen the motivation instruments that provide safe working conditions, help reduce the «toxicity of the environment» and provide a decent level of remuneration. Researching the level of satisfaction and motivation of employees, the following risks of motivation and decrease in employee satisfaction from work for the company are systematized and distinguished: operational, brand (image), productivity, and also well-being. By introducing the concept of «motivational portfolio», by which the authors understand the set of instruments, measures that provide internal and external motivation of employees; the following recommendations are formed to strengthen the efficiency of motivation and increase the level of staff satisfaction: 1) harmonious combination of material and intangible components of motivation; 2) taking into account the value profile of employees; 3) combining and coordinating the goals (tasks) of the employee and the company; 4) strengthening the social component of motivation (improving the social package, involving intangible motives, such as working hours management, labor organization, ensuring decent safe working conditions, recognizing the results of work and its value for society).

La crise politico-militaire de 2010 en Côte d’Ivoire a affecté les flux migratoires dans certaines régions du pays. On a assisté au retour massif de certaines populations dans leurs régions d’origine. Cette étude explore la question de la réinsertion des émigrants dans le jeu foncier de leur zone de départ, et met en exergue les enjeux sociaux liés à leur réintégration. L’étude vise à appréhender les stratégies développées par les populations résidentes et les émigrants dans la quête de ces derniers à intégrer l’arène foncière de leurs familles d’origine. La collecte des données a mobilisé la recherche documentaire, l’enquête par questionnaire, l’entretien et l’observation dans les sous-préfectures de Zoukougbeu et Gregbeu. L’étude relève que le retour définitif ou partiel des émigrants traduit un jeu de repositionnement, tant chez eux que chez les résidents. Le paradoxe de l’autochtone frustré par la raréfaction foncière mais qui constitue un acteur impulsant la dynamique sociale, politique et économique est expressif. En somme, cette étude invite à une politique de modernisation de l’agriculture afin que l’espoir des émigrants internes et externes (diaspora) débouche sur un retour partiel ou définitif réussi, avec des investissements productifs. The politico-military crisis of 2010 in Ivory Coast has affected migratory flows in some regions of the country. We have seen the massive return of some populations to their regions of origin. This study explores the question of the reintegration of emigrants into the land game of their area of departure, and highlights the social issues linked to their reintegration. The study aims to understand the strategies developed by resident populations and emigrants in the latter's quest to integrate the land arena of their families of origin. Data collection involved documentary research, questionnaire survey, interview and observation in the sub-prefectures of Zoukougbeu and Gregbeu. The study notes that the final or partial return of emigrants reflects a repositioning game, both for them and for residents. The paradox of the native frustrated by land scarcity but who is an actor driving social, political and economic dynamics is expressive. In short, this study calls for a policy of modernizing agriculture so that the hope of internal and external emigrants (diaspora) leads to a successful partial or final return, with productive investments.

Fundamental sociological theories of migration study reveal the motives for an individual’s and households’ making decision to migrate, as well as the social factors and consequences of the unfolding of migration processes. Structural changes taking place in society caused by both the innovative nature of economic growth as a whole and the digitalization and expansion of information and telecommunications technologies imply the perception of the phenomenon of migration not only as a territorial movement of the population in space for a long period. Digitalization and development of remote forms of work, in particular, reduces the need for physical concentration of human resources, which allows people to choose the most comfortable places to live. Special attention is paid to the Diaspora, which is one of the important tools for solving communication difficulties. The sociological analysis of migration processes in Armenia illustrates the application of the main concepts, in particular, networked migration and reliance on the Diaspora.
