Peripheral staff loyalty

This article presents the results of research among persons employed in nine flexible forms of employment: teleworking, replacement work, tempo- rary work, seasonal work, employment under civil law agreements, contracts for a defined period of time, employment on part-time basis, in social econo- my, self-employment. The psychological variable chosen for the analysis was loyalty. The issue of loyalty, as shown in the review of literature, generates many methodological problems. Additional setback is intuitive understanding of the term. For this reason it was decided to measure the global loyalty rate among persons employed in flexible forms of employment. The most important results are described in the second part of the article.
