| description | Purpose: The article focuses on the assessment of knowledge workers’ relation with superiors, internal
communication, perceived autonomy and feeling of appreciation. The goal of the article is also to
extend current knowledge of the perception of cooperation between employees. The authors were able
to identify interdependencies among the researched variables and the impact of COVID-19 on peoples’
professional situation.
Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of a CAWI survey conducted on a large
sample of 2778 specialists and managers in Poland. The researchers used the purposive sampling method
to reach the population of white-collar workers who experienced remote work or remote cooperation
with their colleagues.
Findings: The empirical study showed that in most cases superiors passed the test and were positively evaluated
by their subordinates. The correlation analysis also showed that certain positive qualities of amanager
go together and are positively correlated with professional situation assessment during the COVID-19 period.
Research limitations/implications: The study describes the results in a large sample; however, the
sampling method was not probabilistic and therefore we cannot use statistical inference for the general
population of working specialists in Poland.
Originality/value: The value of the article is the presentation of the up-to-date opinion of almost 3 thousands
specialists employed in Poland. The text plays an important role in recording the influence of the pandemic
on Polish employees. |
