This paper seeks to point out the historically determined qualitatively verifiable laws of the influence of individual human values and attitudes on his organizational behavior in planning the manner and implementation of work, but also those that due to their nature are not so easily subject to numerical analysis. Therefore, such a topic largely requires insight into the achievements of the humanities such as psychology, sociology and philosophy, which deal with these segments in a general sense. However, this paper seeks in a specific context such as organized work in a company, association or any other type of association that seeks to achieve market placement, identify possible points to improve business efficiency or eliminate certain obstacles, for which the determinants of what the values and attitudes of the individuals who participate in them are crucial. Such determinants have often been omitted from the analysis of economic efficiency, but over time, with the development of business theory and its individual branches, one of which is the psychology of work, they are gaining in importance. Given this intention, but also the current general context of work with regard to the appearance of coronavirus, the paper includes: analysis of basic concepts for improving human motivation at work such as attitudes and values, then the challenge of interdisciplinary research for theorists of psychology of work and business, history of psychology workers and ultimately the opportunities and barriers to online work that a significant number of occupations are forced into during the lockdown during the coronavirus crisis. The question is what consequences this leaves on the individual, both due to the change in the work environment and the lack of physical contact with other employees.
