The work presents the result of research on the farmers' own labour costs in the agricultural holdings selected according to their economic size or geographic location. The analysis was based on the FADN standard results, minimum subsistence figure and minimum standard of living. The research results have shown sharp differentiation of the possibilities to cover own labour costs on the agricultural holdings of different economic size. The minimum standard of living was found in the agricultural holdings falling under at least 'medium small' size class, and the minimum subsistence figure was reached by at least 'medium large' farms. Without subsidized operations, mainly EU direct payments, the minimum standard of living would be reached by the farms considered at least 'medium large'. This proves that production factors engaged by agricultural holdings falling under lower economic size class and those beyond the scope of FADN observations are used ineffectively and do not provide support to farm family. Additionally, large regional differences were demonstrated as for the dependence of own work costs on the EU Common Agricultural Policy instruments, particularly direct payments. Agricultural holdings in Malopolska and Pogórze macroregions are the least dependent on the EU support, while those in Pomorze and Mazury macroregions are the most dependent.

Labour costs is a very important economic as well as social issue. Its amount is determined by the amount of employment and wages. At the same time, level of labour costs may be one of the factors that determine the rate of inflation. From the comparative analysis of labour costs, carried out in the article, it appears that these costs are influenced by many factors, but especially by: remuneration amount, including the minimum wage in force in the country; the relation between salary and efficiency; the sort of economic activity carried out by the entrepreneurs; the employment structure that occurs in companies; the quantity of non-salary encumbrances and charges; the amount and manner of financing the state budget from the encumbrances directly connected with the work factor; the amount of charges and taxes encumbering the salary. The amount of labour costs is the more important for the entrepreneurs the larger is their share in the general amount of entrepreneur's expenses. High labour costs can greatly disturb development, especially of small and medium entrepreneurs. That is why every entrepreneur should thoroughly analyse their structure of expenses, including the labour costs.

The article deals with questions connected with the possibilities to cover the cost of own work in various types of agricultural farms. The author draws attention to methodical difficulties in defining the real cost of labour in the context of agriculture's specific role in the highly developed economies and the specific character of farms obtaining incomes from both agricultural and non-agricultural production as well as assistance from public sources. The article also presents the results of research conducted on a sample of farms covered by the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), which attest to significant differences in the possibilities of farms to cover the cost of own work without endangering their development chances. Only economically strong farms are able to cover the cost of all production factors, labour included, and to ensure at least a simple reproduction.

(Title in Polish - 'Analiza kosztów pracy w ramach zatrudnienia tradycyjnego i elastycznego w relacji do wydajnosci pracy w Polsce oraz innych krajach Unii Europejskiej'). Achievement of higher rates of work efficiency in the Middle-Eastern Europe countries can be reached by creating new workplaces and reducing the unemployment in traditional sectors, being capable of absorbing IT and telecommunication innovations created abroad. It also seems that in long-term time period it is most profitable to invest in human capital. Investments in human capital increase work efficiency, generate raise of employees' income, as well as entrepreneurs' and even countries', and in the end lead to reduction of labour costs. In this area entrepreneurs, as well as the governments should stimulate employees to self-education and increasing professional qualifications which facilitate performance of changing duties. As a result it can enable employees to adapt to changing demands of the labour market. Of course, the assumptions of the 'Green Book' referring to modernization of labour law in order to come up to the challenges of 21st century, are right. Apart from investments in human capital in Poland, it seems that further increase of flexibility on the labour market is necessary. Strict law in employment protection area decreases the dynamics of labour market and worsens employee's prospects. As it was underlined in European Commission's report on employment in Europe in 2006, unintended deregulation of labour market leads to segmentation of labour market and decreases the efficiency of employees. That is why it seems necessary to, at least partially, leave strict frames of traditional employment mode and regulate this area only in necessary range. Such actions can lead to improvement in work efficiency since it is typical - as the researches carried out by the author of this article have shown - that using the flexible employment mode by the entrepreneurs leads to increase in work efficiency.

The article presents the use of personnel management in chosen fields which are analogous to particular personnel functions. It briefly describes the chosen fields of applying personnel management, which leads to the discussion of the following areas to be managed: the size and structure of employment, personnel planning, hiring employees, employee evaluation, personnel development, remuneration, the conditions of employment and employment relations, efficiency and productivity, and labour costs. A set of both quantitative and qualitative indicators and measures is applied to each field of the personnel management.
