Německý jazyk jako předpoklad úspěchu při výběrovém řízení

The main goal of this Diploma Thesis, called German language as a prerequisite for success in a recruitment process, is to analyse the importance of German language at the labour market in Czech Republic. In the theoretical part, two key personnel functions are characterized, namely recruitment and selection. Furthermore, an analysis of the institutions that strengthen the Czech-German collaboration is presented. The theoretical part is concluded with an investigation of teaching of the German language at Czech schools, based on the statistics provided by The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The empirical part consists of both quantitative and qualitative research, in which the methods of questionnaires and structured interviews were used. The respondents of the questionnaires were companies operating at the Czech labour market as well as university students of economics. The findings of these questionnaires are complemented by structured interviews with three teachers of German language with a long-term experience in the field, as their expertise allows them to discuss the issue in a more complex way.
