Abstract This paper aims to analyse the employment of women in banking during the Second Polish Republic (i.e. interwar Poland). The banking sector was small in terms of employment. The number of people associated with this sector was 18.1 thousand in 1921 and 31.2 thousand in 1931, which accounted for 0.5-0.6% of all professionally active workers outside the agricultural sector. The banking community was dominated by men, the number of women working in banks was about 6.1 thousand in 1921 and 8.5 thousand in 1931 (30% of all human resources). This paper presents the nature of jobs performed by women, their positions and earnings. The presentation takes a number of forms: according to bank types, groups of voivodeships, size of the town and according to headquarters and branches. In all cases, the activities and earnings of women and men were compared.

The role of education, knowledge and human resources in the agribusiness becomes of primary importance for the development of agricultural sector and, more generally, of the territory. The main objective of the present paper is to verify the role of investment in human resources and, consequently, in services for the agricultural development for the dynamics of rural development, trade and international cooperation of agribusiness.After a literature review, the paper firstly analyses the characteristics of the Italian Region of Basilicata, selected for our empirical application, and secondly develops an econometric model to explain the relationship between the rural GDP and a set of economic variables and of network-education-social (NES) dummy variable. These NES is representative of social, educational and, network factors, describing the degree of openness of the region firm. As expected, the results show that farmers may act as engines for economic development when they are trained on the basis of the needs and requirements related to innovation and research, and they are assisted through new models of organization of agricultural services.

The article is devoted to the study of the features, as well as the establishment and analysis of factors for the formation and imple-mentation of an effective personnel policy of enterprises, including the agricultural sector of the economy. The parameters that affect the effectiveness of the company's personnel policy are defined. The basic principles of personnel policy implementation are summarized and expanded. It is established that the implementation of the personnel policy of the enterprise and the achievement of maximum use of its human resources potential should be based on the creation of equal employment opportunities and career growth of employees. It is proved that the personnel policy of an enterprise is formed under the influence of the external environment, namely socio-political, demographic and socio-economic processes, while adapting through the prism of strategic goals and objectives into a unique manage-ment model for each individual business entity, the main purpose of which is to maximize the full disclosure and use of its own personnel potential. A set of strategic tasks is outlined that should ensure the constant preservation of the numerical and qualitative composition of employees through its periodic restoration and maximum use of human resources in order to constantly improve the efficiency of person-nel work. Various approaches to the interpretation of the content of the concept of «personnel policy» are studied and generalized. The industry features of enterprises operating in the agricultural sector of the national economy are established and cause specific problems in creating a model of personnel policy. It is established that the effectiveness of the personnel policy of agricultural enterprises depends not only on the chosen corporate governance model, which is based on a system of strategic goals and objectives, but is also directly influenced by a complex of factors specific to this sphere of the economy. It is noted that the personnel policy should be formalized as much as possible and clearly, while at the same time remaining flexible and open to continuous improvement. It is noted that when form-ing and actually implementing the personnel policy, it is important for an enterprise to achieve a certain balance of interests of interested parties – the enterprise itself and its employees.Keywords: personnel policy, human resources potential, enterprise personnel, Personnel Management, labor activity, personnel development, agricultural sector of the economy.

Population, man, human resources, human capital are the defining concepts in the consideration of issues related to the functioning of the national economy in modern economic conditions. It is generally recognized that labor activity is the main prerequisite that determines the material and spiritual wealth of man and society as a whole. Therefore, human resources at the present stage is one of the main components of the production potential of management in Ukraine, increasing the efficiency of use and reproduction of which are especially relevant. On the level of efficiency of human resources depends the level of welfare of the population, the development of productive forces, the scale of material production, etc. The development of intellectual productive forces and the strengthening of the influence of innovation and information factors contributes to the formation of a new socio-economic role of man in the modern economy and requires appropriate research. The article reveals the theoretical issues of trends in human capital development, a thorough analysis of the current state of human capital development and its importance in the modern economy. Based on the generalization of different views of scientists, the main stages of human capital formation in the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy are identified and characterized. The problems of human capital use have been studied and proposals for its improvement have been worked out. It is revealed that the process of reproduction of human capital in agricultural enterprises and its effective use in the conditions of market transformations should be based on the principles of active policy aimed at reviving the economic situation in agriculture; scientific substantiation; development of measures in order to increase jobs and increase the labor needs of agricultural enterprises; improvement of the system of remuneration, social protection of agricultural workers; formation of the mechanism of social partnership, etc.

This research is implemented in the banking sector. Knowledge about counterproductive behavior that emerged in banking activity is still limited. Bankers, human resources in the banking sector, deal a lot with customers in their day-to-day job activity by assessing the credit proposal of their bank customers. Qualified credit assessment is essential to determine the approval of bank credit. The failure to assess qualified debtors will result in bad credit in which debtors do not repay the credit they receive. To get qualified credit assessment, bankers follow the 5C Principles in assessing credit proposals. Counterproductive work behavior occurs when workers perform indifferently from what the rules and norms of a company have stated. Qualitative research with a phenomenology approach was conducted to determine how these deviances performed while bankers assessed their customers’ credit loan proposals under the 5C Principles. Six bankers with different job positions were the subjects of this study and were interviewed to get in-depth information. This research reveals items of behaviors related to production deviances in each principle they assessed. Deviances are reported in each principle then categorized into production ones since these behaviors deal a lot with how they perform their job in the credit sector.

Purpose Following the recent global financial crisis, US regulatory agencies issued laws to implement the Basel III accords to ensure the resiliency of the US banking sector. Theories predict that enhanced regulations may alter credit issuance of the regulated banks due to increased capital requirements, but the direction of changes might not be straightforward especially with respect to the agricultural loans. A decrease in credit availability from banks might pose a serious problem for farmers who rely on bank credit especially during economic recessions. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the impact of Basel III regulatory framework implementation on agricultural lending in the USA is examined. Using panel data of FDIC-insured banks from 2008 to 2017, the agricultural loan volume and growth rates are examined for agricultural banks and all US banks. Findings The results show that agricultural loan growth rates have slowed down, but the amount of agricultural loan volume issuance still remained positive. More detailed examination finds that regulated agricultural banks have decreased both the agricultural loan volume and their loan exposure to the agricultural sector, showing a possible sign of credit crunch. Originality/value This study examines whether the implementation of the Basel III regulation has resulted in changes in agricultural loan issuance by US banks as predicted by the lending channel theory.
