Inspired by the concept of erotic capital, we claim that candidates’ and employees’ erotic capital is one of the factors that may influence on the decisions related to human resources management. Hakim’s concept is however criticized for being too extensive, too incoherent and lacking empirical studies to support it. Therefore, we have conducted empirical studies. They aimed at validating the construct of erotic capital in the context of its role in the assessment of another person, assessment that is intrinsic to HR decision-making. An additional goal was to develop a tool (questionnaire) for estimating the impact of the candidate's/employee's erotic capital on decisions being made concerning recruitment and appraisal in the organization.Research was split into 3 stages. Stage one consisted of studying the literature. At the second stage, we proceeded with the assessment of content and face validity of the research tool. Within the third stage of the research, the construct was subject to theoretical validity check. Validation proved that the obtained model of erotic capital fulfilled the requirements of: reliability, validity (divergent and predictive) and unidimensionality.

Burnout is traditionally associated with the so-called helping profession, welfare, social, mission. This also includes the teaching profession, which involves great responsibility. Any dysfunctions and reduced efficiency in the work of a teacher may have major, including social, consequences. This study presents the burnout syndrome among educational workers (especially teachers), taking into account factors contributing to individual, interpersonal and organizational burnout. At the same time, efforts were made to indicate the organizational and social specificity of education in Poland. The aim of the study is to indicate how the problem of burnout was studied in Poland in the 2010–2020. The author was aimed to determine the most common subject of research and what measurement tools were used by the researchers. An analysis was conducted of dozens of selected publications presenting the results of empirical research on occupational burnout among employees in the Polish education system (published in 2010–2020). As a result, it was possible to identify the dominant areas and methods of research in this area, indicate their limitations, and present alternatives.

Purpose: The main purpose of this article is to present the stereotypes which – to the authors’ mind – are the most common on the Polish labour market and their relation to employability.Methodology/approach: The basic methodological approach profited from in this article is descriptive and has been on literature.Findings: The article can serve as inspiration to break down stereotypes regardless of the geographical location of the organization. It can also contribute to growth and the change of the perception of own employability. Implications/limitations: The paper aims to show how stereotypes at work can affect employability. But it would be advisable to perform profound empirical studies, revealing the relationships between an individual’s employability and stereotypes in the workplace. On the other hand, however, this issue would be an extremely challenging research process due to the ambiguity of stereotype category in a theoretical view.Originality/value: The article includes recommendations for practical application drawn from theoretical reflections, which can be an inspiration to break stereotypes and contribute to the increase and alteration of perceived employability.

This paper describes factors of material environment that are particularly important for employees comfort on the example of a selected University. The main goal of the presented research was to identify factors of work comfort related to material and social-living conditions of work and their assessment based on the opinion of employees in a selected institution. A two-stage study conducted in 2016–2018 among 440 university employees made it possible to identify factors relevant to the comfort of work, mainly related to material conditions. Based on the opinions of university employees (questionnaires and interviews), problem areas were identified in the scope of shaping comfortable working conditions.
