Purpose: One of the significant consequences of changes in the contemporary Polish labor market is the growing importance of flexible forms of employment, including self-employment. A special type of self-employment is economically dependent self-employment (EDSE), in which the entrepreneur provides services exclusively or to a large extent to one entity in a manner similar to the performance of work under an employment relationship. The growing popularity of this type of flexible forms of relations between the employee and the employer prompted us to ask the following questions: What are the similarities and differences between organizations in terms of HRM activities with respect to EDSE and subordinate employees (SE)? Design/methodology/approach: The researchers used the data from quantitative research (CATI), conducted on a representative sample of 380 business entities from Poland. The objective of the empirical analysis was to group the organizations according to the criterion of differentiating their HRM activities in relation to EDSE and SE. Findings: The analysis allowed to distinguish three groups: ‘Traditionalists’ focusing on subordinate workers; ‘Transforming’ presenting a similar approach to EDSE and SE, with a slightly greater focus on SE, and ‘Genuinely equal’ having the same approach to EDSE and SE. The organizations mostly or to a large extent apply the principles of equality (i.e. various HRM instruments apply equally to EDSE and SE) or dedicate solutions to SE to a greater extent. Originality/value: The value of the research is to conduct extensive research on a representative sample of Polish companies on HRM in an increasingly flexible labor market. The research contributes to the growing trend of research on subordinate and economically dependent self-employed workers, extending it to HRM perspective.
