Working Conditions in the Context of Building Employer Image

Abstract

Differentiation of job expectations maintained by persons employed in business entities is also evident with regard to working conditions. Proper realisation of these expectations does have a notable impact upon employer image – an attribute of growing significance in the modern Polish labour market. The focus of this paper is placed on the process of building the employer image, as expressed in the employer’s observance of employee interests and other activities designed to increase their job satisfaction. The research is based, predominantly, on the results of empirical studies on observance of employee interests in business setting. The findings seem to corroborate the view that an employer’s approach to the formulation of working conditions is largely influenced by employees’ traits and the attributes of the organisational culture, which both have a notable impact upon the differentiation of employer images as viewed from the employer’s standpoint.
