Čtvrtživotní krize jako výzva manažerského vedení

This thesis focuses on the issue of the quarter-life crisis as a challenge for managerial leadership in the workplace. The aim of the thesis is to use an in-depth analysis of a specific case to understand how managerial behavior evolved in response to an employee’s quarter-life crisis and what impact this situation had on the functioning of the work team. The research was conducted as a qualitative instrumental case study, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with four stakeholders involved in the situation under study. The results show that a quarter-life crisis is not merely an individual matter but a phenomenon whose effects permeate the entire structure of the work team. The study examines the managerial approaches applied during the observed period, their transformations, and their consequences. Recommendations are formulated based on these findings. The contribution of this work lies in offering a previously missing perspective on the intersection of the quarter-life crisis and managerial leadership in the workplace.
