Management Of An Intergenerational Cooperation – Effect Of Company Size

Abstract

Business management in the face of the modern demographic trends leads to new challenges for enterprises in the field of an intergenerational cooperation. Labour force varies in age and represents different attitudes to work, value systems and expectations towards employees. This makes communication and cooperation between employees from different generations more difficult (especially from a work experience perspective). In view of the different functioning of entities with different employment levels, the Authors of the paper have attempted to examine intergenerational cooperation in the context of the size of an organisation. The main aim of this paper is to attempt to answer the question: Is the company size reflected in the approach to intergenerational cooperation? Therefore, statistical analyses were carried out to verify the research hypotheses. The statistical analysis was based on authors' own pilot study on the intergenerational cooperation in Polish enterprises. The results of this research have approximate characteristics and refer only to the examined sample size.
