Pracownik i przedsiębiorstwo - globalne i lokalne układy odniesienia pracowników Państwowych Gospodarstw Rolnych

Abstract

The presented material is a fragment of a study carried out in three State Farms in 1984 as part of a government-sponsored project "Man and His Work". The study covered 383 workers. The paper deals with the perception by workers of their farm in the global system and in the local environment. The author observed a low self-estimation of the workers status (esp.material) relative to other social and occupational categories in the rural society. On the other hand there were no traces of an "inferiority complex" among the workers of State Farms towards those of Cooperative Farms or individual farmers. It is characteristic that workers perceived little connection between the success of their farms and their personal welfare. This is an important barrier for any increase in productivity.
