Simple and clear at the first glance, the word sea, having Indo-European parallels which have practically the only meaning ‘sea’, on a closer examination turned out to be not so clear. Linguistic and ethno-linguistic, including folklore, data of Slavic traditions make it possible to interpret the word sea in Slavic languages and dialects in the sense of ‘water’ in general, and especially – the vast expanse of water – regardless of salinity, flowage and other properties of water. Moreover, the same semantics are characteristic of many, if not all, Indo-European denominations of the sea, and many words of non-Indoeuropean languages as well. Aspects of future studying of this topic can be seen in the explanation of other words with root *mor-/mar-, identification of their semantics, motivational relations and etymology, as well as other lexems, denoting the sea, the causes of their emergence or preservation in i.-e. languages and solving a number of other problems of diachronic aspect.
Increasing demand on blood supply and attempts of blood collecting agencies in recruiting and retaining blood donors require deeper knowledge of existing factors driving donor behaviour. This research address the need to explore the relationship of factors driving donor behaviour – motivation, satisfaction and loyalty. The objective of this study is to explore the conceptual model representing the effect of donor motivation on satisfaction, attitudinal loyalty and behavioural loyalty in the specific context of social marketing impact. Model, based on structural equation modeling technique was developed using the data of donor population of the nationwide blood collecting agency. Study empirically confirmed the causal positive effect of donor motivation on attitudinal loyalty, behavioural loyalty and relationship satisfaction. Study also revealed the main motives for donation relevant to the surveyed donor population. The power of motivation towards donor satisfaction and loyalty have increased during the period of five years due to the positive moderating influence of social marketing (Non-remunerated donorship promotion program).
