Covid-19大流行给斯洛伐克带来的人力资源管理挑战
本文分析了斯洛伐克企业和组织在Covid-19大流行方面面临的挑战,以及由此产生的人力资源管理解决方案。设计/方法/方法作者介绍了他们在六个中东欧国家进行的部分研究。根据及时的数据,本文介绍了斯洛伐克的社会经济特征以及在斯洛伐克雇主中进行的“Covid-19危机时期人力资源管理挑战”研究的结果。调查方法包括247个斯洛伐克组织。对企业、政府和个人来说,2020年都是不平凡的一年。根据这项研究的结果,斯洛伐克的组织没有为Covid-19危机做好准备。在疫情爆发时制定大流行行动计划的应答者寥寥无几。为保护人类健康而采取的措施直接影响到工作的完成和组织方式。这给雇主和雇员都带来了巨大的挑战。一般来说,小型组织使用成本和人员减少工具。另一方面,一些受访者(主要是大型组织)一直在使用面向未来的解决方案,例如组织发展。在这项研究中,作者分析了中欧国家斯洛伐克的经验。然而,在这里获得和收集的经验在国际舞台上也可能是有用的。
