Kultura pracowników a efektywność ekonomiczna
Employees’ Culture and Economic Efficiency

Summary/Abstract: The links between culture and economy are quite well recognized. The existing literature confirms a close relationship between the level and type of social and individual culture and the level and growth of economic efficiency. The paper presents the results of a survey, in which the respondents indicated various cultural characteristics of the employees which influence their efficiency. The evaluation encompassed 25 factors regarding general and economic culture. Factor analysis supplemented by correlation matrices made it possible to identify the most important factors. The results of the research (subdivided by sex, education and age of the interviewed) suggest that creativity and continued learning are most important for economic efficiency. Honesty, but also envy, are the next in the ranking. Religion seems to be also quite important. Other cultural factors distinguished in the study seem to be less important in shaping the efficiency.
