labour market situation is ever-changing and brings new problems but also new challenges and
opportunities for companies and their management how to increase their competitiveness. The

the Czech Republic. In this paper, there are used methods as literature review, questionnaire
survey, frequency comparison, Chi-squared test, and Mann-Whitney test. The paper includes
