Coworking spaces emerged in the mid-2000s as collaborative workplaces that actively supported teleworkers and self-employed knowledge workers who shared various (work) environments to interlace themselves in supportive networks, tackle isolation, positively influence well-being, and collaboratively participate in knowledge-sharing activities. However, with the swift popularisation of the coworking model by 2020, newly established flexible office spaces have begun to refer to themselves as community-based workplaces even though they lacked the capacity to support their users’ interactions and collaborative work. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to explore how coworking spaces have transformed from community-based environments to a flexible place of work where establishing a collaborative community is not an organisational priority. The following exploratory research investigates a sample of 13 coworking spaces in Prague, the Czech Republic, and considers their capacity for supporting interactions and collaborative processes between their users. The results uncovered significant differences between coworking spaces, their spatial designs, the presence of mediation mechanisms, and the frequency of interactions between users, and suggest that the handful of sampled coworking environments misuse the notion of community. In that context, the following study indicates that contemporary coworking spaces can revert to community washing to deliberately pursue economic self-interest rather than support decentralised peer-to-peer exchange that would lead to developing a coworking community.

Coworking, choć bywa porównywany do biur sąsiedzkich i satelitarnych, jest nową formą organizacji pracy biurowej, plasującą się pomiędzy klasycznym zatrudnieniem a pracą domową. W systemie tym indywidualni przedsiębiorcy – freelancerzy – współdzielą przestrzeń biurową, pracując nad własnymi zadaniami. Historia coworkingu jest stosunkowo krótka, liczy niewiele ponad 10 lat. Jednak od czasu otwarcia pierwszego kolektywu w 2006 roku zyskała ogromną popularność, tak że prognozuje się, iż na koniec 2017 roku na całym świecie będzie już 1,2 mln zaktywizowanych użytkowników współdzielonych przestrzeni pracy. Tematem opracowania jest sytuacja biur coworkingowych w Polsce ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Krakowa jako drugiego pod względem wielkości miasta w Polsce i największego spośród regionalnych rynków biurowych w kraju. Dla pełnego zobrazowania zjawiska coworkingu, wciąż nieznanego szerszej grupie odbiorców, analiza rynku krakowskiego została poprzedzona obszernym wstępem poświęconym omówieniu tej ogólnoświatowej tendencji, zasadom organizacji tego typu biur i historii ich powstawania, co poparto przykładami interesujących centrów z Europy Zachodniej i Stanów Zjednoczonych. Na tym tle prezentowane są wyniki badania przestrzeni coworkingowych w Krakowie, wraz z przykładami, przeprowadzonego w okresie od stycznia do marca 2017 roku. Dane statystyczne dotyczące krakowskich współdzielonych przestrzeni pracy skonfrontowano z wartościami charakteryzującymi rynek warszawski, będący bezsprzecznie największym i najbardziej prężnym ośrodkiem w kraju, co ma na celu zarysowanie ogólnej sytuacji coworkingu w Polsce i daje podstawę określenia tendencji rozwoju tej formy organizacji pracy.

Despite being sometimes compared to neighbors and satellite offices, coworking is a brand new system of office work, falling between conventional employment and working at home. In this system, individual entrepreneurs—freelancers—work at their own businesses, sharing office space at the same time. Its history is relatively short, just slightly over 10 years. However, since the first coworking office was founded in 2006, the movement has become largely popular; moreover, it is forecast that there should be at least 1.2 million active users of coworking spaces by the end of 2017. The purpose of the article is to describe Polish coworking spaces with a particular emphasis on Cracow being the second largest city in Poland and the biggest regional office work markets in the country. In order to present coworking phenomenon properly, still unfamiliar to a broad group of consumers, the analysis of the Cracow market has been preceded by a comprehensive introduction devoted to the discussion of the global tendencies, principles of offices organization including their types and history of origin supported with examples of interesting centres in Western Europe and the United States. Against this background, the results of coworking spaces in Cracow research are presented, together with examples, conducted during the period from January to March 2017. The statistical data concerning Cracow shared work spaces are confronted with the values characteristic for the Warsaw market being indisputably the largest and the most dynamic centre in the country, which is aimed at determination of the overall situation of coworking in Poland and provides the basis for determination of development tendencies of this form of work organization.
