(NON)AUTONOMOUS SUBORDINATION OF ACADEMIC TEACHERS

The aim of the foregoing study is to show that the subordination of academic teachers employed on the basis of an employment relationship is not at all autonomous, although it is generally accepted that their work is characterized by a high level of independence and does not display elements of classical subordination. It turns out that the traditional paradigm of subordinate work also works well in relation to those pursuing creative careers, including academic teachers. Using the example of academic teachers, the author tries to prove that despite the changes in socio-economic conditions, progressive technological development and new forms of work, the role of subordination as an essential feature distinguishing the employment relationship from other legal employment relationships is still crucial, making this criterion a necessary, most important structural feature of the employment relationship which should not be abandoned in any case.
