Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Conflict or coordination are the most frequently used words describing the industrial relations in developed economies. What is the relationship between the biggest industrial actors in the former Czechoslovakia and is there any coordination? This paper tries to answer this question focusing on the coordination in the main economic spheres in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The research is based on the analysis of statistical data and a survey in which a group of experts completed a questionnaire stemming from the Varieties of Capitalism approach. Almost 30 experts representing employers, trade unions and the state from both countries provided insight into the amount of coordination that exists among the main economic actors. Our findings not only undermine the recent classifications of the Central Europe in the Varieties of Capitalism literature, but also show a slightly different institutional setting of the industrial relations in these two post-communist countries. The main results of our research shows that there is an emerging pattern of ‘systematic un-coordination’ among the key spheres of the national economy as defined by Varieties of Capitalism. The authors conclude this article with a discussion regarding the results and limitations of their research.

Kvalitativní monitorování a prognózování trhu práce: Švédskou cestou?
- 2014
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book presents the results of a pilot study testing the applicability of selected elements of the Swedish approach to labour market monitoring in selected local labour markets and its implementation in terms of selected contact centres of the Czech Employment Office in the South Moravian Region. This study which was put together under the project "Active Matching: Strategic Consultancy Support in the Labour Market" aims to answer the question whether an approach based on qualitative analysis of the employers’ requirements on the labour force is applicable in the circumstances of the Czech Employment Office and whether it improves its efficiency. The pilot study verified the possibility of implementing an adapted Swedish methodology on the Czech labour market and confirmed the possibility of collecting data from the employers in the required structure (combination of qualification, skill and competency requirements). It clearly showed that employees of the Employment Office are prepared and competent enough to collect data on the labour market and the demand for labour force through interviews conducted with representatives of employers. The limit for the implementation of targeted extensive monitoring is however the current organizational capacity of the Czech Employment Office. Also subsequent work with the information obtained through the monitoring and specific matching of supply and demand in the labour market faces certain restrictions, especially on the high number of applicants per one clerk, and lack of information system support.Important benefits of the evaluated programme include not only the information obtained from interviews with employers, but also the process itself, which brings self-improvement of the public employment services staff, independent learning in collecting the data, and development of the Employment Office as a learning organization that is able to change its preconceived practices through knowledge gained from the interaction with employers. An equally important aspect includes building cooperation and partnerships between the public employment services and employers.

Active matching : Strategic support of labour market counselling
- 2013
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The poster presents the project "Active Matching: Strategic Support of Labour Market Counselling" which aims to identify, compare and evaluate a tool (method) for monitoring, analysis and prognosis of skills and qualification needs in regional labour markets in the Czech Republic and in Sweden.Furthermore, the project aims to innovate the tool using the best from both of the models (the Czech one and the Swedish one) and to test functionality and applicability of the innovated tool in conditions of a regional labour market in the Czech Republic.200 employers in the Czech regional labour market will be interviewed and asked about demanded skills for different occupations in short-term (up to one year) as well as in long-term (3 years) perspective. Then, interviewing and the matching process will be evaluated.Once the applicability has been assessed, we want to draw recommendations for implementation of the innovated tool in a Czech labour market counselling practice and for a more effective matching process. We assume that thorough knowledge of contents of skills requested by employers is one of the key preconditions for improvement of labour market counselling and for effective matching of the unemployed to job vacancies.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper presents different interpretations of a problem situation associated with ensuring of appropriately skilled workforce and different ways of problem solutions by the selected employers in mechanical engineering (representing the Fordist production regime) and IT (representing the post-Fordist production regime) sectors in the Czech Republic. The paper tries to explain these differences by use of functionalist and institutional approaches.

Employers’ view on problems related to workforce skills and qualification

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this exploratory study is to reveal employers’ views on problems related to workforce human capital (skills and qualification). Where do employers themselves view the core of difficulties with ensuring adequately skilled workforce? Do they assign them to technological and organizational changes (a functional concept of job-specific human capital obsolescence), or do they see these problems as a result of other circumstances, such as macro-structural conditions or institutional settings? To answer these questions selected employers in mechanical engineering and information technology sectors in the Czech Republic were interviewed. The results show that the employers see the problems: 1) on the side of workforce – insufficient abilities and skills, exaggerated demands and low motivation; 2) as inadequate capacities and capabilities of the organization itself; 3) at macro-level as institutional shortcomings in the initial educational system and social benefits system. The problems related to workforce skills and qualification cannot be, thus, interpreted only in the functionalist view as job-specific human capital obsolescence, but the formulation of the problems is significantly affected by the institutional framework.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research on the flipped classroom in business courses suggests that this approach can increase student involvement, task orientation and innovation as well as motivation and engagement. Even though research findings regarding impact on student grades differ, the overall outcomes of flipped classroom teaching seem to be encouraging. However, to reach these positive outcomes the flipped classroom needs to be carefully thought through and implemented.Based on previous research findings and author’s personal experience of implementing the flipped classroom design in two business administration and management courses at Dalarna University in Sweden, this chapter presents some key thoughts to be considered when flipping the classes and provides some empirical examples of flipped classroom implementation.In conclusion, the chapter suggests a) not covering everything in videos, but rather stimulate students’ curiosity for reading and participating in classes, b) considering carefully what shall be done prior the class and what can be done during the class, c) using the information from students’ pre-class activities to customize in-class activities, d) creating incentives for students’ participation in classes as participation seems to be important for development of higher level cognitive skills (applying, analysing, evaluating) which are the key skills of all business graduates.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- King (1993) in her often-cited work “From sage on the stage to guide on the side” describes the shift from the traditional classroom where professors lecture and students listen and take notes, towards classrooms where students are actively involved in processing information and relating it to their previous experience and knowledge and making sense of it. Students get involved and use their higher-level cognitive skills to analyze, synthesize and evaluate the information received rather than passively receiving and memorizing it. As emphasized by many authors, students’ active participation and engagement is critical for their deep learning and understanding.The aim of this paper is to present several practical examples involving students in classes in Business Administration and Management, such as think-pair-share, experimental exercises, “send‑problem” exercises, gapped outlines of lectures, learning by teaching, but also an example of how to get students engaged in improving courses via the structured group feedback method.

Ingår i: Scientia et Societas. - Praha : Newton Books. - 1801-7118. ; VI:1, s. 91-110
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article aims to present and discuss factors determining the growing importance of human capital in contemporary labour markets. These factors include: economic globalization, international specialization, technological development, a shift from mass production to production of more specialized and individualized goods, a shift from manufacturing production to service economies (de-industrialization, tertiarization) as well as changes in organization of production, de-standardization of employment, and population ageing. Additionally, in Central and Eastern European countries these factors include the transition from centrally-planned to market economies. The article concludes with an analysis of the risk of human capital obsolescence as a consequence of some of the abovementioned factors.
