Competency Models and the Generational Diversity of a Company Workforce
Streszczenie
This paper aims to present an analysis of
employee competencies across different generations,
placing emphasis on their attitudes towards the labour
market and future perspective concerning work, as
determining factors in creating competence models
encompassing employee diversity management.
A competence model is a set of competencies that stem
from the company strategy and allows it to fulfil its goals
in accordance with its values and an expected work style. It
is one o f the basic tools o f human resource management,
used in a wide variety of scenarios ranging from the
recruitment of employees, shaping career paths,
conducting training/development programmes and regular
assessments, to designing motivational and pay schemes.
The literature on the subject quotes many definitions of
competencies, as well as examples of many contemporary
competence models. Owing to their scope o f interests, the
authors decided to analyse selected competence models
with regard to the manner in which “competences” are
defined and the differences between employee-oriented
and job-oriented models. The authors used G. Filipowicz’s
approach (who created a combined definition of
competences embedded in a coherent model) to create a
research tool used to scrutinize the skills and attitudes of
individuals coming from three different generations. The
research results allowed the authors to draw conclusions
concerning the avenues o f designing competence
management models o f diverse employees (i.e. in respect
of age and knowledge) by creating a suitable work
environment, including a pro-effective organizational
culture and building employee commitment — which will
make it possible to create a new work model, tailored to
the needs of individual companies.
