  • Forms of employment and attitudes to work in selected construction companies (12)
    The article covers the issues of employment forms and attitudes towards work measured by means of internal motivation to work, job satisfaction and employee loyalty towards the organization.

  • Evaluation of demands seen as either challenges or hindrances and its impact on the effectiveness and well-being of employees (15)
    The aim of the article is to present a concept regarding the twofold nature of work requirements: requirements - challenges and requirements - obstacles. A theory developed by Cavanaugh and co-workers (2000) was described, and research was conducted on the relationship of challenges and obstacles to the functioning of employees: their well-being, efficiency, attitudes towards work. The results of the described research indicate that the requirements - challenges are rather positively related to the functioning of employees, and the requirements - the obstacles are negative, but these results are not unambiguous. The individual perception of work requirements seems to be important here: do employees perceive them as requirements or as obstacles. Research also indicates the role of individual and psychosocial resources as moderators and mediators in the relationship between challenges and obstacles and the functioning of employees. The article indicates the directions of further research in this area.

  • The CIOP-PIB research stand for studies of spatial sound perception with the use of ambisonic technique (24)
    In acoustic conditions, acoustic signals can be a source of information affecting the safety of employees. Possibilities of sound perception, directional hearing or spatial orientation of people in the work environment depend on a number of factors, such as acoustic properties of the work room, noise and its parameters, hearing losses, the use of hearing protection or hearing protections. The study of the impact of these factors on the abovementioned possibilities (perception, directional hearing, orientation) requires the use of surround sound and is essential for creating safe working conditions. The article presents basic information on ambisonics as one of the spatial sound processing techniques. Characterization of the performance at the Central Institute for Labor Protection - National Research Institute is a laboratory stand for conducting (using the ambiosonic technique) the study of sound perception, directional hearing and spatial orientation of people.
