Vybrané přístupy k řízení zaměstnanců v kontextu současných trendů managementu

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on selected approaches to employee management in the context of contemporary management trends. Its aim is to examine how managers perceive and apply selected approaches to employee management and to identify the factors influencing their implementation in practice. The theoretical part discusses both traditional and contemporary approaches to managing employees, as well as the main barriers and drivers of their adoption. The empirical part is based on a mixed-methods design combining a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews with managers. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were processed through thematic analysis. The findings show that managers attach the greatest importance to employee motivation, feedback, and clearly defined rules and procedures, whereas more participative approaches are applied rather selectively. The main drivers of modern approaches were identified as pressure for efficiency and the need to respond to changing conditions, while the most significant barriers include resistance to change, lack of time, and limited resources. The thesis concludes that current managerial practice is characterised more by a combination of traditional and modern approaches than by the complete replacement of one by the other.
