Abstract:
The rapid development of AI technologies will bring about revolutionary changes in the labor market. When considering the possible impact of AI based technologies on the labor market it is important to consider the region-specific cultural differences in Europe, especially those differences which are relevant to understanding the attitude(s) toward work in the region in question. In Eastern Europe – a region once dominated by a workers’ state – work related cultural issues are particularly complex. The main complexity results from two contradictory attitudes, positive and negative, of Eastern Europeans toward work. The article argues that these two attitudes have their origins in one and the same underlying position, which is inherited from the Soviet Union, and that with differing political premises, dominated the Eastern European region.
