The Employee’s Personal Character and its Imperative in the Post-Covid-19 Pandemic World
It is a known fact that all organizations, other than philanthropic ones, are concerned about increasing their financial performance. The Covid-19 pandemic indisputably affects the organizations’ triple bottom line, especially profit. Hence, it is essential to make plans for the post-Covid-19 pandemic world. Consequently, one solution is to pay more attention to the increase in the level of advantageous personal character traits among the employees. The personal character is a blend of virtues and vices. The highest level of virtues will enrich the level of the advantageous personal character traits. The aim of this paper was to provide a definition of the personal character and to present an instrument for the construct of the personal character. The importance of having a good personal character is also addressed as a part of this study.
Keywords: personal character, employee, post-Covid-19 world, virtues, vices
Osobisty charakter pracownika i jego imperatyw w świecie po pandemii Covid-19
Powszechnie wiadomo, że wszystkie organizacje, niebędące organizacjami filantropijnymi, troszczą się o zwiększenie swoich wyników finansowych. Pandemia Covid-19 bez wątpienia wpływa na trzy filary organizacji, zwłaszcza na zysk. Zatem istotne znaczenie ma przygotowanie planów na potrzeby świata po pandemii Covid-19. W konsekwencji, jednym z rozwiązań jest zwrócenie większej uwagi na podnoszenie poziomu pozytywnych cech charakteru wśród pracowników. Osobisty charakter stanowi mieszankę zalet i wad. Najwyższy poziom zalet wzbogaca poziom korzystnych cech osobistego charakteru. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie definicji osobistego charakteru oraz przedstawienie instrumentu dla konstruktu osobistego charakteru. W ramach badania zajęto się również istotnym znaczeniem posiadania dobrego charakteru osobistego.
