Influence of freedom at work on performance of an IT company

Companies running a business in the 21st century are facing heavily turbulent environment full of changes. Highest profiting companies are mainly those that can react to the changes faster and better than their competitors. However, basic work principles and methods of work organizing slowly stop suiting the needs of turbulent and change-demanding business environment. These principles simply aren't flexible enough. The right answer to higher flexibility demand could be freedom at work. This thesis examines the influence of freedom at work on selected economic indicators of companies operating in the field of information technology, especially their performance. The theoretical part describes freedom and responsibility, as well as concept of freedom at work and characterizes typical signs of classical and liberal companies. The empirical part defines a model that is capable of determining a level of freedom of any organization. This model is then applied to the sample of surveyed IT companies. After determining the level of freedom for each of the surveyed companies, companies are subsequently involved in the research examining the impact of freedom at work on performance, productivity and wage cost per employee of IT companies
