Kariérní růst Čechů v Austrálii: Bariéry a strategie pro dosažení manažerských pozic

This diploma thesis addresses the career growth of Czech migrants in Australia with the aim of proposing a strategy for overcoming barriers during advancement to higher managerial positions. The work responds to the need for a practical guide for the success of Czech professionals in this specific environment. Using a qualitative research method through semi-structured interviews with twelve respondents, key obstacles were identified, particularly regarding visa policy, non-recognition of qualifications, and cultural differences. The thesis concludes that the key to success is not merely expertise, but primarily the adaptation of soft skills, networking, mastering the principles of power distance, and cultural adaptation. The main contribution of the thesis is the formulation of specific strategic recommendations for Czech migrants aiming for permanent residency and career growth in Australia.
