Pracodawcy a pracownicy – dwa punkty widzenia telepracy
Employers vs. employees – two points of view on teleworking

Summary/Abstract: Telework is considered to be a flexible form of employment and a one giving a broad spectrum of ways of providing telework and on the same hand, an excellent tool to jump-start those social groups that can be described as distanced from the labour market, handicapped persons for example. However, despite its usefulness telework does not seem to be frequently used by employers in Poland, even though they admit its advantages. The goal of the article is to show results of the research concerning the state of knowledge of employers and employees on telework as well as its various aspects. In order to provide such an assessment, Individual In-Depth Inteviews (IDI) were conducted among 36 employers and 20 employees, based on schemes prepared for that purpose. Results of these interviews allow a conclusion that telework is often mixed up with telemarketing meaning it’s supposedly performed via phone and based on reaching potential clientele. Only a handful of respondents described telework correctly, in accord to its real definition.
