Summary/Abstract: People, with their knowledge and potential, are undoubtedly the most important part in any organisation because, thanks to them, it might accomplish its goals, gain a competitive advantage and achieve success on the market. That is why each organisation should hire the most appropriate employees and provide work-ing conditions that enable them to unleash their potential for the company’s benefit. The fundamental value for creating a good work environment is employ-ees’ subjectivity, which can be perceived in two ways. The basic level of honour-ing a person’s subjectivity is respecting human rights and the employee’s dignity in mutual relations. The higher level, though, is to give people a certain amount of autonomy and responsibility in their workplace. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse interdisciplinary concepts that managers can use in order to ensure that people are given the respect they deserve.
