Poczucie skutecznościi satysfakcja z życia osób bezrobotnych oraz rodzaje i poziom nieadekwatności otrzymywanego wsparcia społecznego

In the paper, selected personal resources of the unemployed (n = 120) that can play an important role in their functioning in a difficult situation, i.e. the lack of work, have been analysed. A sense of self-efficacy, self-control and life satisfaction have been taken into con-sideration. In addition, it has been ana-lysed from whom and what kind of sup-port the unemployed people expect and to what extent it is relevant to their needs. The following research tools have been applied: Generalised SelfEfficacy Scale, The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS;) in Polish adaptation by Z. Juczyński and the Questionnaire for Research on Social Support in the Case of Unemployment by K. Ślebarska. The conclusions may be useful in planning support adequate to the expectations of the unemployed.
