GDPR implementation in public administration in Poland – 1.5 year after: An empirical analysis
Streszczenie
Aim/purpose – The paper contains descriptive exploratory research on the implementation of General Data Protection Requirements (GDPR) in a group of Polish public administration offices. The purpose of this research is to investigate the current state of
personal data protection in the entities surveyed.
Design/methodology/approach – The diagnostic survey method using the Computer
Assisted Web Interview was employed. The survey was conducted in local government
administration offices a year and a half after the GDPR implementation.
Findings – All marshal offices and the majority of districts (about 80%) confirmed that
they comply with all the GDPR requirements. The situation was slightly worse in municipal offices – about 23% of them declared that they do not comply with all the GDPR
requirements. In officials’ opinion this situation may be improved by conducting training
for employees, employee engagement, and appropriate support of the office management. Another aspect that draws attention is a very small budget dedicated to the GDPR
implementation and maintenance in most of the offices surveyed.
Research implications/limitations – The limitation of the findings is the relatively low
responsiveness of the questionnaire survey.
Originality/value/contribution – The research concerns a relatively new subject. The
state of personal data protection in public administration in Poland after 18 months of the
GDPR implementation was analyzed. So far, there is no comprehensive research that has
been conducted into this field in local government administration
