Summary/Abstract: Współczesny świat stawia przed nami wyzwania o niespotykanej dotąd złożoności i dynamice. Postęp technologiczny, globalne kryzysy, takie jak pandemia czy konflikty zbrojne, oraz zmieniająca się rzeczywistość rynku pracy wymagają od nas nieustannego dostosowywania się i refleksji nad naszymi rolami zawodowymi. W obliczu niepewności zatrudnienia oraz ewolucji form pracy pytania o sens życia zawodowego, dobrostan i rozwój osobisty stają się coraz bardziej istotne. Monografia ta stanowi wszechstronną analizę psychologii w biznesie, ukazując współczesne wyzwania i możliwości w dynamicznie zmieniającym się środowisku. Poruszono w niej szerokie spektrum zagadnień, w tym adaptację migrantów na rynku pracy, rolę coachingu, ekopsychologię oraz konieczność dbania o dobrostan pracowników. To nie tylko diagnoza wyzwań naszych czasów, lecz także inspiracja do tworzenia środowisk pracy, które wspierają rozwój, uczenie się i krytyczne myślenie. Publikacja skierowana jest zarówno do badaczy, jak i praktyków oraz wszystkich, którzy pragną zrozumieć, jak odnaleźć się w świecie pełnym zmian i niepewności, zachowując dobrostan i sens zawodowego działania.

- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the concept of work meaning into the scientific discourse in the field of work management. It discusses the main characteristics of work and the concepts related to the meaning of work from both philosophical and psychological perspectives. The study presents various concepts and models of well-being,including hedonistic and eudaimonic interpretations, which shape the understanding of the sense of work. Consequently, a theoretical model of perceiving the meaning of work is proposed. The practical dimension of these considerations involves shaping conscious employee attitudes based on higher values that extend beyond the narrow self-interest of employees or employers. This approach influences employee engagement and their sense of well-being in an eudaimonic sense. The study emphasises that the meaning of work, derived from a sense of social value, should be recognised and appreciated at every stage of work. Moreover, the proposed model of perceiving the meaning of work can serve as a conceptual basis for further empirical research in the field of management.

- Summary/Abstract:Many researchers highlight a strong relationship between the sense of meaning in work and work engagement. However, few studies address the factors that most significantly enhance employees’ sense of meaning and engagement in their professional roles. The goal of the chapter is to determine the relationship between the four sources of meaning in work (Schnell & Hoffmann, 2020) and work engagement (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). This chapter presents a review of the literature on the sources of meaning in work, followed by the results of quantitative research on the sources of meaning and work engagement in Polish enterprises. Research conducted on a sample of 212 employees revealed that cohesion plays a particularly important role in fostering work engagement but only three out of four sources of meaning show a positive correlation with work engagement. Finally, the “Sinntrify Your Work” tool (Hardering, 2024) is introduced, which supports sources of meaning in work at both the individual and organisational levels.

It analysed various dimensions of well-being in the context of Polish enterprises through qualitative research. The focus was on understanding how employees and managers experience emotional, psychological and social well-being. Interviews were conducted with 15 experts from different sectors, analysing their individual experiences and perceptions of well-being. The results indicate that emotional well-being, which is related to positive emotions and satisfaction with life, is central to an overall sense of happiness.

Social well-being, reflecting the quality of interpersonal relationships, is essential for a sense of support and belonging. In addition, the study revealed a new type of environmental well-being, related to sustainability efforts, which underscores the growing awareness of and responsibility for the environment.

This chapter offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the psychological aspects of environmental sustainability. It contributes to the growing body of literature on how ecopsychology can inform sustainable development and offers practical recommendations for integrating these concepts into various sectors.

- Summary/Abstract:During the COVID-19 pandemic, international migration posed significant challenges,deeply affecting labour markets globally, including in Poland. Migrants faced difficulties such as job loss, unstable employment, and worsened living conditions. In Poland,where the number of employed non-nationals had risen prior to the pandemic, it is crucial to understand the coping strategies employed by migrants in such uncertain times. This study investigates the psychological coping strategies used by Ukrainian migrants in Poland, based on an empirical analysis of 309 participants. The findings contribute to the development of knowledge on migrant resilience and adaptation mechanisms during crises, offering insights for future research on migration psychology.

- Summary/Abstract:Job insecurity impacts various areas of employment and work, such as the perceived employability, perceived job control, occupational stress, engagement, relationships and trust, and consequently work efficiency. The aim of this chapter is to present the phenomenon of job insecurity and to indicate its selected potential links with burnout, which may be of both direct and indirect nature. This chapter presents the key findings from empirical research on the consequences of job insecurity and focuses on those consequences that may be related to employee burnout, ultimately creating a map of connections leading from job insecurity through various work-related areas and phenomena to burnout. Additionally, the concept of reciprocity is considered, meaning that a given aspect can simultaneously beboth a cause and an effect. For instance, job insecurity can be both a cause and a consequence of burnout. The same applies to the remaining aspects included in the model.
