Anthropological approach in recognising the employers’ interests

Summary/Abstract: The anthropology of organisations is an approach drawing on cultural anthropology both within the scope of research methods (qualitative approach based on observations conducted in natural environment), and the way of understanding culture (as a dynamic network of meanings). At the same time, the anthropological approach is human-oriented with respect to human needs, attitudes and customs. Owing to the above, this approach allows for a deeper analysis of organisational culture, individual and group behaviour, conflicts, motivation, the course of work, innovative processes, as well as the changes resulting from globalisation. Anthropologists are often able to more accurately define the relations and roles played within employees’ groups, since the primary cognitive apparatus that they apply is so-called thick description. This ensures that the results of their work are more resistant to the hypothetical and idealised assumptions about the character of employees’ actions.
