Work is an issue that accompanies the humankind from the very beginning of the human civilisation. Its meaning and importance have been changing during the civilisation development. The recent changes made this issue central for different disciplines, for example, psychology, economy, legal or medical studies, and praxeology etc. Work represents one of the most important forms of the human needs satisfaction. It remains the basis of the human existence both in terms of private and professional life. There has been long discussion concerning the structure of the human needs. Abraham Maslow considered that people aim to satisfy the needs that are found in the five levels hierarchy. Among those basic needs there are physiological and safety needs, need for love or belonging as well as esteem and self-actualisation. The self-actualisation need is connected with work, which has an autotelic value. It is essential for human beings to develop their personalities. Work represents the basic element and action incentive.
