For an individual, a sustainable career is a sequence of events in one’s professional life that both brings professional satisfaction to the career actor, but also allows them to stay healthy, fit, satisfied with their non-work life, feel stable and secure, and free to decide their professional future. It is challenging to pursue a career as a performing artist in such a way that the artist can say of their career that it is sustainable. Indeed, research shows that artists struggle with job instability, being paid below expectations, high competition for lucrative career opportunities and the loss of psycho-physical fitness, which is important in the profession. Dual career is one of the paths for artists to build a conscious sustainable career. Inspired by research on dual careers for athletes, we found many similarities between the sport and artistic settings, mainly related to the short-term nature of these professions. The idea of an artist pursuing a dual career in such a way that they start preparing for an alternative career path already during their artistic training seems to be a potentially attractive career management strategy to facilitate career reorientation. This study investigates the opinions of performing artists regarding the opportunities to pursue a sustainable career through conscious preparation for career reorientation. A total of 111 performers from Poland participated in the survey. Assessments of the situation of artists in the labour market during the pandemic crisis, their attitudes towards the end/descent of their artistic careers, their opinions on alternatives to practising as a performing artist, and their assessments of the potential for pursuing a dual career strategy were investigated. The survey revealed that the opinions of artists are diverse and ambiguous, probably due to the internal diversity of this professional community. Importantly, a significant group of respondents in our survey said that it was the pandemic that made them aware of the instability of a career as a performing artist (56.7%). The analysis of the research results shows what career self-management strategies the respondents use. Remarkably, for a group of respondents, the pandemic crisis has become a determinant for taking steps towards sustainable career management.

The article is devoted to the issue of mothers returning to work, after being on parental leave due to the birth of a child. The theoretical part presents the specifics of the Instagram social network, which was used by women who have children, as well as the results of secondary research on searching for the source of origin and work. The research part presents the results of the analysis of the content communicated on Instagram by mothers returning to work. The results of the research show that for many ‘instamothers’online activity is a substitute for social relation, and makes them willing to share their observations also regarding the topic of returning to work. Moreover, the analysis of the posts showed that some mothers perceive motherhood as a limitation in shaping their professional career, while other mothers are convinced that it is their work that limits them in fulfilling the role of mother.

Currently the value of intangible resources of the organisation, such as: knowledge, skills and attitudes of employees, is increasingly important. The most valuable asset of any organisation is a creative attitude of the staff. Creative attitude is a willingness to initiate innovative actions, perseverance in achieving ambitious professional tasks, customized approach to problems and conflicts, skillful shaping of relationships with colleagues. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the psychology of creativity has many aspects, it is still not clear, what is the set of conditions that affect the formation of new, brilliant ideas. Due to insufficient knowledge about the conditions of work of employees, the author poses the question: are there universal methods of shaping the creative attitudes? The aim of the article is to show the extreme approaches to shaping creative attitudes due to the antinomian character of creativity. The article is theoretical. In the first part of the article the author explains the importance of creativity in contemporary organisations, then taking individualistic point of view on creativity, describes the concepts of creative attitudes of employees. In the next part of the article refers to the achievements of pedagogy and psychology of creativity to explain the nature of the antinomian attitudes of creative workers.
