On the basis of results afforded by questionnaire survey the author stresses the role played by managers in expanding participation of workers in management of the company. In the opinion of most interviewed participation in management depends on the attitude of managers and their authority. Effectiveness of this participation and its expansion, according to the author, is not an object of evaluation of managers by their superiors, and that is why participation continues to be only a general social norm, an accepted but not rewarded element of the social role performed by managers. Discussing the prospects of employees participation in management, the author stresses that employees wish also to participate in planning the company development, technical progress, improving working conditions perceiving here a chance for development of personality and growth of effectiveness. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/9189 Uczestnictwo robotników w zarządzaniu - uwarunkowania sukcesu Kulpińska, Jolanta The workers’ self-management in Poland is a term describing an institution the aim of which is participation in management.

They are connected with the qualify of the environment of the worker and with his class consciousness. Already Marx and Engels drew attention to significance of physical working conditions for the situation of the working class. These problems are equally important today which is confirmed by the number of accidents at work, number of people exposed to professional diseases, size of absenteeism, percentage of workers exposed to physical and chemical hazards. Data form this sphere quoted by the author can hardly illustrate the scope of the phenomenon and they do not describe it fully. Numerous researches conducted in Poland and abroad testify that in the hierarchy of values connected with work the physical working conditions hold a distant position with a negative assessment of these conditions exerting but an insignificant influence on dissatisfaction with work and the place of work. The author warns here that one should not draw a conclusion that physical working conditions ceased to represent an important criterion of assessment of work and attitude to work as their role is undergoing changes with time. In a „normal” period they are generally treated as unchangeable, and independent of an individual, aspects of work to which one should get adjusted. On the other hand, in periods of tensions and eventual conflicts they are often considered to be unbearable and as such they become an object of workers’ revindication. Finally the author puts forward a thesis that in conditions of the socialist society improvement of the physical work environment should be prompted not only by economic advantages, which may result from it, but primarily bу a humane consideration represented by the benefit of a working man. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/9178 Kolektyw pracy w społeczeństwie socjalistycznym Ducke, Kurt The author begins his article with general discussion of the importance and role of collective working groups in the socialist society. There is especially emphasized the thesis that „collectivity” is a historical process of development of groups of employees taking place in the socialist society. By means of sociological studies carried out in different enterprises in the GDR the author is trying to define factors determining it and degree of implementation in practice of collectivity features in the analyzed working groups. These studies prove that in the German Democratic Republic there is well advanced implementation of the model character of socialist relations of working people. To prove this statement the author quotes among others opinions of workers that good relations between colleagues are indispensable to achieve satisfaction in work and positive appraisal of the place of work. The assessment of these relations depends on the degree of friendliness and matter-of-fact as well as critical climate in the working group An important role in this process is also played by the socialist superior and the political organization — the core of collectivity. When summing up the article, the author presents a list of eight criteria being components of social maturity of the working group. 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z
