Nurses' work could be a source of satisfaction. Unfortunately, this is not possible when financial and technical material resources are most important. They are then a source of problems and difficulties; they result in frustration, discouragement and dissatisfaction, which are conducive to different types of negative behaviour. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of negative behaviour at nurses' workstations in teaching hospitals. The study used a diagnostic poll of the Polish version of NAQ in a group of 178 nurses working in teaching hospitals. The results indicate that negative behaviour at nurses' workstations in teaching hospitals is widespread (78.7%). Mobbing is allowed at 34.3% of them. Because of the consequences that this high prevalence of negative behaviour may have on nurses' work and thus the quality of care, it is necessary to implement immediate changes in the management process to reduce or eliminate negative behaviour.

This article presents the results of a survey conducted among a selected group of office workers from 111 institutions, mainly local government institutions, from Lublin Province. The aim of this research was to determine the factors that could encourage workers to increase their physical activity. To that end, this article presents available solutions supporting physical activity in- and outside the workplace. As a result of the analysis of the research the dominant factors emerged which, according to the respondents, could influence a change in their lifestyles from inactive to more active ones. Those include having more free time, receiving season tickets from the employer, e.g., to the gym, and a discounts at sports facilities. This information may provide a basis for taking comprehensive preventive and educational measures in workplaces.
