Summary/Abstract: Over the past three decades, Poland’s economy has experienced a deepstructural change in terms of ownership: from almost entirely state-ownedto predominantly private, and from relatively consolidated to largely fragmented.The shift in the dominant form of ownership has been arguably thekey factor behind the profound reconfiguration of work and employmentrelations, which has become fragmented and, to a large degree, subject tothe voluntarist behaviour of employers. The article follows the changes in thesocial perceptions of the labour market in the context of ownership structureand the evolution of the economic mentality of Poles, using empirical datacollected in the course of longitudinal research conducted at the WarsawSchool of Economics (SGH).
