Abstract
When faced with various challenges, modern organizations must be able to
function effectively. These challenges include globalization, technological advancements,
necessity to operate in the state of permanent flux, and finally,
generation of intellectual capital, which delivers the competitive edge. As
a consequence, the management of a modern organization and its diverse
staff, which enables the company to operate effectively without generating
losses or conflicts, becomes critical. Nowadays, organizations have to constantly
look for innovative ways of conducting business. The conclusion drawn
from observing successes of such organizations proves that taking a closer
look at the issue of Human Resources (HR) diversity’s role is worthwhile. Especially
the analysis of managerial skills and learning styles in the context of
companies’ innovation seems of particular relevance. The managerial skills
and their development are the basis for successful management processes
in a modern company. The aim of this study was to identify and assess skills
and learning styles of innovative companies’ employees. The empirical material
was collected in 2016 on the basis of a research conducted among
employees of innovative companies established in Poland. The results of the
present research allowed to analyze the impact of the respondents’ independent
variables on their skills and learning styles. As a result of the study,
recommendations for managers and Human Resources Management (HRM)
specialists were formulated on how to successfully manage employees’ various
skills and learning styles.
