Abstract
Work is regarded as the most important and even the most essential human activity, however, the type of working activity, changes, unemployment influence person’s and society life. Most of the people define their status and importance in society according to their profession, therefore self-consciousness, self-perception and self-respect are dependent upon it. The occupied status gives social value and society recognition. Most of social contacts take place in work environment. In our culture the society encourages each of its member to work, who is considered at least a little independent and we are used to regard the ability to work and reconcilement with such a situation as important conditions of psychic health. The choice of profession, its acquisition, work itself determine people’s life. Work occupies quite a big or even the main part of personality’s life time. For many people work is the axis of life – both in everyday life and seeking for big goals. One can regard work as “boredom, torture, an inevitable evil” however it would be difficult to deny, that this is a fundamental part of our life. We spend plenty of time working and it is obvious, that working models form many aspects of our existence – beginning with friends and finishing with leisure time. Human lifestyle directly depends on the chosen profession, and physical, psychic health – very often on, how a person feels at work. While working people set in order and control their world, physical and social environment in which they live, create various material and spiritual values satisfying their demands. Therefore, basically one can claim, that professional activity and professional achievements define not only self-realisation field, but also human income, status in society, social prestige (value), form conditions for social mobility (social status change possibilities), allow feeling an important member of society. It is obvious, that every person, having chosen a profession, dreams about future perspectives and a successfully formed career.
