3.8.2.1: In the last decade of the past century one of the most profound changes in the structure of organisations worldwide was the growing number of temporary workers. The basic structure of organisations in the 21st century  might well be that of a small nucleus of staff members encircled by a constantly changing workforce of temps. One of the questions brought about by this model is how company spirit and loyalty to the organisation can be maintained. The answer is that spirit and loyalty of temps should be directed towards the project they are working on.  In every project the goals and values of the organisation should be clearly visible. Staff members should be able to show the temps that a project is no less than the realisation of values in a practical form, thus enabling them to work motivated and inspired on the project. Company spirit in its original sense is restricted to the staff members in the nucleus.
