Pracownicza partycypacja finansowa. Geneza, uwarunkowania rozwoju, rezultaty

Maciej Kozłowski

Pracownicza partycypacja finansowa jest traktowana jako jedna z nowocześniejszych form motywowania i większego zaangażowania pracowników w życie organizacji, jaką jest przedsiębiorstwo. Szybki postęp w jakości i innowacyjności produkcji wymaga zmiany spojrzenia na tradycyjne relacje pracownicy - kierownictwo i domaga się innego podejścia do procesów występujących w przedsiębiorstwie. Dotychczasowe stosunki pracy, raczej konserwujące ustalone reguły oddziaływania, są często przyczyną biernych postaw pracowników, co stwarza konieczność modyfikacji dotychczasowych schematów organizacji działania firmy i zarządzania pracującymi w niej ludźmi. Ze względu na potrzebę upowszechnienia rozwiązań partycypacji finansowej pracowników praca jest skierowana do szerokiego kręgu odbiorców, w tym praktyków życia gospodarczego, menedżerów obecnych i przyszłych, działaczy związkowych i przedstawicieli stowarzyszeń biznesowych, a także polityków, studentów, pracowników zainteresowanych partycypacją finansową oraz innych osób i organizacji mogących wywrzeć wpływ na przyszłe zastosowania partycypacji finansowej. Ze względu na niedostatek literatury polskiej w obszarze problematyki partycypacji finansowej starano się, aby praca w pewnym stopniu zapełniła tę lukę i przyczyniła się do wzrostu zainteresowania powyższymi rozwiązaniami. 

Pracownik wraca po macierzyńskim, rodzicielskim czy wychowawczym - jakie ma uprawnienia?

Szymon Sokolik, konsultacja: Katarzyna Pietruszyńska

Załóżmy, że pracownik kończy urlop macierzyński, rodzicielski lub wychowawczy i zamierza wrócić do pracy. Czy jest on w momencie powrotu chroniony przed wypowiedzeniem? A co w przypadku, gdy jej stanowisko zostało w międzyczasie zlikwidowane? Jakie uprawnienia przysługują takiej osobie? Czy może ona żądać urlopu wypoczynkowego tuż po zakończeniu wszystkich tych urlopów? Czy trzeba jej wydać nową informację o warunkach zatrudnienia lub inne dokumenty?

Practica et Speculativa. Studies Offered to Professor Andrzej M. Kaniowski

Marek Gensler, Agnieszka Gralińska-Toborek, Wioletta Kazimierska-Jerzyk, Krzysztof Kędziora, ...

Ofiarowany Profesorowi Andrzejowi M. Kaniowskiemu z okazji siedemdziesiątych urodzin tom nosi tytuł Practica et Speculativa. Głównym przedmiotem zainteresowania Jubilata jest wprawdzie filozofia praktyczna – etyka, filozofia państwa i prawa, filozofia polityczna i społeczna – jednakże Jego refleksja nad praxis osadzona jest zawsze w szerszym, teoretycznym kontekście. Artykuły zamieszczone w książce dotyczą różnorodnej tematyki i także o nich można powiedzieć, że obejmują dwa przenikające się pola refleksji: praktyczne i teoretyczne. Niemal oczywistymi bohaterami tak zarysowanego zderzenia ludzkich aktywności są Immanuel Kant i Jürgen Habermas, których koncepcjom poświęcono tu najwięcej uwagi. Redakcja
