Efficient functioning of a company is largely determined by improvements in the process of human management. Human resources are, next to financial resources, a company's basic resources and the style of human management conditions effects of management of the whole company.
Human resources in a company are a group of employees who are labour power and who constitute a system that has the following aspects [10]: the organizational aspect which refers to the division into teams and into clusters of workplaces within the organizational structure of a company, the ergonomic aspect which refers to different kinds of man-machine relationships or man-work relationships, the psychological aspect which refers to a set of different behaviours displayed by individual employees; as far as employees' motivation to work is concerned, these behaviours are conditioned by the work environment and, more importantly, by the management process, the socio-economic aspect which refers to group professional identity and to the professional group as labor force on the job market, the legal aspect which refers to all subjects who are parties in the employee-employer relationship.
The management process is a series of actions taken over a time period. It is complex and contains many components (subprocesses, phases, stages, particular actions taken one after another in a sequence or a cycle) [4]. The author points out that most of negotiations conducted within or by a company are processes, e.g.: salary negotiations, budget negotiations, loan negotiations, negotiations concerning cooperation, a fusion or an alliance. It is important to note that the process of human management has developed enormously over time. Nowadays it is a set of concepts, methods and techniques to choose from depending on determinants of work and objectives of work.
The decades-long development of job evaluation methods proves that the most common and widely accepted synthetic criteria are: professional knowledge and skills, professional responsibility, effort that must be put into job performance and conditions of work environment [6, p. 211]. Such methodology, however, selects the criteria from the point of view of the employer. In the case of companies which employ people with disabilities, the level of employee work satisfaction should also be taken into account. At the same time, the research clearly shows that the very possibility of working and the very fact of being professionally active are motivating factors conductive to efficient work. Just as any other employee, a person with disabilities needs clearly assigned tasks and well-defined scope of responsibility. If he or she fails to fulfil his or her duties, the employee and his or her manager should work on this problem. Another possibility is to change the scope of responsibility according to the manager's opinion of the employee's skills and knowledge or absence thereof. The publication was financed from the resources allocated to the Management Faculty of Cracow University of Economics, under the grant for the maintenance of the research potential.
