Description of the research topic:
Today's accelerated economic, political and technological changes require all economic actors to respond and adapt adequately, while maintaining and even strengthening their competitiveness. The decisive factors in this adaptation process are the people working in the organisations, the competences of the staff and the ability to "manage" them effectively, i.e. the efficiency of human resource management solutions. This can be seen as a significant factor in organisational effectiveness and competitiveness. The focus of this topic is therefore to examine what HR solutions are used in different organisations and how effective they are.
However, the functioning of human resource management is always embedded in a specific internal organisational and external environmental context, including the impact of cultural, social, institutional and political constraints, which influence it.
One of the main lines of management research is to capture the differences in management practices between different national/cultural contexts and institutional arrangements, with one important finding being that cultural embeddedness and the institutional arrangements based on it make different management solutions acceptable and appropriate. This makes the question of what similarities or differences there are in the human resource management practices of organisations in different countries and regions, and what factors influence them, when compared with global trends, a particularly fascinating one. In this context, the study of HR solutions in the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe is of particular interest.
The research therefore aims to examine the human resource management practices of organisations, with a particular focus on a contextual and comparative approach to the topic, and a comparison with international trends.
