Etos pracy w perspektywie badań longituidalnych nad preferencjami aksjologicznymi studentów UE Katowice

The economic crisis of recent years has refuted the myth of homo oeconomicus - rational man working to develop his economical capital. Employment is currently understood as needless burden and return on capital is achieved by egoism, greed and immoral actions. It is necessary to restore ethos of work. The work is for man, not man for a work. Human work must have a personalistic dimension. Analysis of hierarchy of principles declared by students of University of Economics in Katowice proves that the change is possible. One can hope that students indicating moral values will realize - as employees - ethos of work.
