Psychological aspects of the functioning of workers in flexible forms of employment

A psychological analysis of the functioning of people in the work envi- ronment has been conducted on the basis of the results of quantitative research carried out among workers employed in nine forms of flexible employment, drawing on a model of selected psychological variables, in- cluding employment choice autonomy, attribution of organizational mem- bership, form and content of psychological contract, and attitudes towards work and social skills, including personal flexibility and assertive behav- iour. Work satisfaction in flexible types of employment has also been stud- ied, along with the psychological cost associated with this type of employment.
