Attitudes towards Work in Selected Groups of Industrial Plants

Abstracts

EN

The main objective of the Bydgoszcz research group has been to describe the present attitudes towards work among manual workers, technical inspectors and service workers in a selection of 20 industrial plants in the Bydgoszcz region. The research covered ca. 2400 persons. In the theoretical section the relationship towards work is defined as a concretization of one’s attitude towards work, while the attitude to work is held to be a feature of the worker referring to his occupational work. The authors have singled out four basic groups of attitude determinants: A. determinants relating to the general social and political condition ot the country and the world; B. determinants relating to the place of employment and the generally defined work milieu; C. determinants connected with the standard of life and the work performed by the worker; D. determinants relating to personal qualities of the worker. In the concluding section it is claimed that the studied workers were aware of the role and the importance of work in human life. This awareness, however, was not exhibited in actual work situations. Among the attitude determinants isolated in the course of research the most important were determinants related to the place of employment and to the generally defined work milieu . This means that the barely satisfactory attitudes to work expressed in opinions by the respondents should be accounted for mainly by poor organization and functioning of the industrial plant.
