CHANGES IN JUDGMENT OF EMLOYEES WITH FAMILY COMMITMENT DURING THE LAST DECADE CHANGES IN JUDGMENT OF EMLOYEES WITH FAMILY COMMITMENT DURING THE LAST DECADE

Abstract

The judgment of workers with family is a very popular topic in the management research. Many results show that some family commitments may take effect on the performance of employees, and perhaps on their workplace attitudes.
In 2007, a question of the doctoral dissertation of author was that how the employees with family commitment were judged on the Hungarian labor market: there were positive or negative stereotypes against this type of workers.
Studies at that time did not demonstrate any negative prejudices towards employees with children. According to the opinion of author it was a very good information for employers and employees. Of course the author could not examine that the Hungarian Labour Code had any effect on this result. That is the respondents were influenced by that fact as the employers are obligated by Labour Code not to make any discrimination between the employees considering sex, age, family commitment, etc.
10 years later, in 2017, the author of the study applied the same questionnaire again in order to analyze whether the opinion of participants in survey has changed in this topic.
Although the results are not considered representative, but they are very useful for any companies
