Abstract [en]

The paper examines the reception of Ukrainian refugees in Poland from the organization employee’s point of view. A qualitative method was used by the researcher’s where semi-structured interviews were conducted with four staff members of Polish organizations working with refugees in their profession. The collected data was analyzed with the critical reflective theory. In the findings three major themes could be identified: Reception of Ukrainian refugees, satisfactions and dissatisfactions of the employees, and the difference in attitude towards Ukrainian and Syrian refugees. The empirical findings showed that the displaced Ukrainians were overall welcomed with a very positive attitude by the Polish people, and that there were contrasts to how this attitude has been different from the treatment that Syrian refugees have been met with. Finally, it was concluded that the main challenges that these employees foresaw in the future were the economic and professional lack of resources to in meeting the basic needs of these individuals.
