Conditionings for improving work time in the enterprise

Abstract

The study is an attempt at a holistic view of the determinants of functions and working time. It is considered that a more analytical view is also needed, which takes into account detailed determinants of working time. What is more, those determinants require deepen analysis. The legal determinants, technical-technological and economic conditionings, social and ergonomic aspects were selected as the subject of the analysis. The effect of these analyses was to find a strategic connector. This can provide consistency of objectives between the elements of generative system and the elements of working time. It was defined as a working method. In addition, the article includes a concept for the analysis and reconstruction of the work time system in the enterprise. The results of empirical research were also presented. Empirical research was carried out in the energy sector and in the gastronomy industry. A thesis was adopted which assume responsibility between the time system and the work method. In particular, it was considered that the achievement of the maximum production ceiling is possible, only due to the adjustment of the working time system to the components of the working method. Among the elements of the work method: technicaltechnological conditionings, elements of the work system and social determinants, in particular ergonomic working conditions were distinguished. Changing one of them causes the transformation of the working method and, consequently, requires a proper rectification of the working time system.
