By resolution of the same Faculty Council in 1987, he received his habilitation in humanities in the field of psychology. He was the head of the Institute of Value-Based Management at the Academy of Economics and Humanities in Warsaw.He was interested in the psychology of aggression and the application of this knowledge to social pathology, crime, and rehabilitation issues. In the 1980s, he studied human behavior in situations of temptation and humiliation. In the mid-1990s, he developed a model of dignity regulation of behavior, briefly called the "anomie – ethos" theory, and began applying it to issues of workplace temptation and corruption. He later developed training programs in dignity assertiveness and training for administration and business needs. His research interests included the issue of power over others and changes that cause two different ways of exercising power: creating a "control situation" and generating a "humiliation situation."
