Abstract:
The corporations using the varied workforce can supply a greater variety of solutions to problems
in service, sourcing, and allocation of their resources. The current labor market mentions
four generations that are living and working today: the Baby boomers generation, the Generation
X, the Generation Y and the Generation Z. The differences between generations can
affect the way corporations recruit and develop teams, deal with change, motivate, stimulate
and manage employees, and boost productivity, competitiveness and service effectiveness. A
corporation’s success and competitiveness depend on its ability to embrace diversity and realize
the competitive advantages and benefits. The aim of this paper is to present the current generation
of employees (the employees of Baby Boomers Generation, Generation X, Generation Y
and Generation Z) in the labor market by secondary research and then to introduce the results
of primary research that was implemented in selected corporations in the Czech Republic. The
contribution presents a view of some of the results of quantitative and qualitative research conducted
in selected corporations in the Czech Republic. These researches were conducted in 2015
on a sample of 3,364 respondents, and the results were analyzed. Two research hypotheses and
one research question have been formulated. The verification or rejection of null research hypothesis
was done through the statistical method of the Pearson’s Chi-square test. It was found
that perception of the choice of superior from a particular generation does depend on the age of
employees in selected corporations. It was also determined that there are statistically significant
dependences between the preference for heterogeneous or homogeneous cooperation and the
age of employees in selected corporations.
