Analýza generačních odlišností na pracovišti v České republice

Abstract

The issue of multi-generational management in the workplace is one of the core areas for effective management of organisations. Not only due to demographic developments in many developed countries, but also to changes in the understanding of individuals' career lives, more generations interact in workplaces, and situations where subordinates reach a lower age within organisational structures than their superiors are no exception. This is one of the reasons for changing the approach to the issue of age diversity, where research in this field has in the past focused mainly on the issue of older workers (50-55 and over). Currently, the focus of scientific research, as well as business practice, is on the understanding of age diversity in personnel from the perspective of individual generations. The world's scientific knowledge to date is focused primarily onthe characteristics of individual generations and their comparison with each other. The aim of this paper is to analyse generational differences in the workplace in the conditions of the Czech Republic. Differences are statistically tested by data dependency on a sample of 214 workers who, according to their date of birth, are part of one of the economically active generations: Baby Boomers, X, Y and Z. The results of the analyses show that, for parts of the areas examined in relation to business practice, the dependence of attitudes and opinions on individual generations can be statistically confirmed. Specifically, the areas of remuneration and benefits; content of work; atmosphere and workplace relations
