Kariery zawodowe w optyce młodej generacji pracowników

Abstract

Employment and the labour market are dramatically changing these days. Clear symptoms of the changes can be seen also in the career-related attitudes, expectations and aspirations of the young generation of workers. A specific trait of workers’ aspirations is their orientation to professional self-development. According to workers’ beliefs and objectives, the course of one’s career in the workplace should result from partnership-based negotiations with the employer, one benefit of which would be the acquisition of transferable skills. However, in the reality of their firms many workers fail to find suitable conditions for building careers matching their aspirations. This situation largely disables the formation of workers’ loyalty attitudes to the organization.
