Příspěvek v úvodní části shrnuje vývoj konceptu celoživotního učení, který je založen na formování a rozvíjení (klíčových) kompetencí. Tento přístup, prosazující se nyní nejen v České republice jako určující prvek kurikulární reformy, má delší tradici a opodstatnění v profesním vzdělávání dospělých a uplatňuje se v rozvoji lidských zdrojů. Příspěvek je proto dále věnován představení výsledků několika výzkumných šetření provedených právě v této oblasti a věnovaných požadavkům na kompetence manažerů a možnostem učení v inovativních pracovních organizacích v České republice. Konkrétně se jedná o výstupy z analýzy inzerce nabídky pracovních míst pro manažery a odborné specialisty a výzkumného šetření provedeného technikou ohniskových skupin a částečně strukturovaných rozhovorů s manažery firemního vzdělávání, jehož cílem bylo zjistit stav a predikovaný vývoj v oblasti vzdělávání a učení pracovníků.

Research background: The study focuses on the search for talented individuals depending on the size and form of organizations in the Czech Republic. Purpose of the article: The article answers the question where organizations are looking for talented individuals in the Czech Republic in the era of digitization and Industry 4.0. It also reveals whether different forms of organization and their size play a role in finding talented individuals. Methods: A representative sample of 301 talent management organizations found whether the search for talented individuals depends on the size of private organizations and whether the form of the organization affects its application. The study is part of a very extensive research completed in 2018 dealing with the effectiveness of talent management methods in the Czech Republic. Findings & Value added: It produces specific results related to the way talented individuals are found in small, medium, and large private organisations and public organisations. The result is to determine the dependency between size, form of organization and search for talented individuals. The study also points to the fact that the “talent pool” method is independent of seeking talent within an organisation or in the labour market. The study covers a wide range of organisations, including public organisations, which are neglected in most current research.

The aim of this research was to identify leading problems within Polish andragogical discourse.The chapter's content was guided by answers to the following questions: what topics are most commonly being explored, and what most interests Polish andragogues? Academic articles published from 2014 to 2018 in four specialist journals were examined in the research. A qualitative method was used in the process of analysing the content of the articles. The keywords listed were grouped into clusters and issues, and analytical categories were identified for use in developing a typology of research issues: 1) the domain of andragogical reflection, with subcategories: theory, methodology, subject of analysis; 2) formalised teaching processes; 3) competences, consultation, labour market -a subjective perspective; 4) development tasks, problems and conflicts in social roles; 5) spaces of development, animation and personalised learning. The present research highlights the vast area of Polish androgogical research, thus widening the boundaries of the research field, going beyond formal learning spaces and exploring microworlds of individuals and social problems.
