Keywords:
Resilience, technology, self-employment, freelancing, home officesAbstract
Resilience helps us to accept and respond quickly and flexibly, tailoring our actions to business situation. The aim of this paper is to investigate benefits that self-employment and freelancers bring to employees. Moreover, we explored both subjective and objective dimensions of job quality, such as job satisfaction, motivation, changes in working hours, along with issues related to physical and mental health and work-life balance. The research is based on two hypotheses, which we tried to prove. We used qualitative and quantitative methods in our research. In the paper is concluded that working from home is a general trend in the world that will continue in the future, as more and more people are leaving “corporate life” and replacing it with business, which they do in a much more relaxed environment of their home and family.
