Master's thesis

Abstract:

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of diversity management in a chosen company. It consists of theoretical part, dealing with goal establishment and materials and methods description, and practical component. Fundamental terms necessary for understanding the topic are described in the first part. The main goal of the thesis is to specify the issue of diversity management and to assess this subject in a chosen company while focus is directed at age diversity, gender diversity and national diversity. Practical component elaborates this issue in XY s. r. o. whose name could not be published due to internal regulations of the company. However, all the materials and data needed were provided. Findings for elaborating the practical part were collected by quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative research (directed interview with representatives from top and middle management). Outcomes of the practical part are analysed and described. Assessing the questionnaire and interviews resulted in confirming one precondition established in the beginning of the work. Remaining two preconditions were denied. Elaboration of the practical part resulted in recommendation to promote diversity management through the company and to balance age diversity within individual departments.
