Discrimination as a pathology of labour resource management

Abstract

The phenomenon of discrimination on the labour market is becoming more visible. It exists on social, political as well as
legal ground. The main aims of occurring discrimination in the world are commonly established stereotypes and prejudices
which are extremely hard to fight against. They result in a person’s exclusion from a group which makes her or him feel
inferior of the others. Unfortunately, the analysis of numerous research outcomes reveals that the discrimination phenomenon,
especially against women, as early as over the application process of the future employees and then in the job progress,
is becoming even more common. The aim of the article is to approach a subject of women discrimination: an explanation
of the main terms, the causes and effects of its occurrence as well as an attempt to confirm the hypothesis that despite a ban
on employee discrimination in Poland the phenomenon of discrimination against women still exists in the work process.
For the purposes of achieving this aim many literary references,
statistical reports of the Main Statistical Office altogether with
ambient studies concerning this issue, have been studied.
