“…Overall, the findings show that the governments should support Internet access among the older population since ICT skills can enable better employability in the future, especially with the threat of extended working life for EU citizens [31][32][33]. Furthermore, they should focus on the persons' life course and their social network and infrastructural ICTenvironment [30].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to detect and analyze some factors which hinder or contribute to the positive use of the Internet by older people living in Central Europe, specifically in one region of the Czech Republic. Methods: The key method is a questionnaire whose results were processed by using a model of logistic regression. The research sample includes 432 seniors from senior houses, municipal ICT courses and the University of the Third Age, all coming from the region of Hradec Kralove in the Czech Republic. Findings: The findings of the proposed model confirmed that the key determinants in the Internet use by older people were age, previous experience with IT in their past occupation and active use of IT enhanced by some kind of training, in this case attending IT courses of the University of the Third Age. Education and gender have not proved to be significant determinants in this study. Novelty/ improvement: The introduced model of logistic regression enriches current literature on the subject by emphasizing the possible factors that influence the use of the Internet by seniors in the region. The survey also investigates which factors in comparison with each other act more and which less, and which factors are significant within the model and which are not.

“…It can be concluded that age management is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility phenomenon (Feißel et al, 2018;Pytel-Kopczyńska & Oleksiak, 2019), specifically, activities focusing on the social pillar of sustainable business (Atkinson & Sandiford, 2016). Age management is vital for all ages of employees (Rašticová et al, 2019); however, for older workers in particular, specific working conditions need to be created with respect to occupational health and safety and increased risks (Dordoni & Argentero, 2015). It is advisable to adapt working hours to the flexible forms of work arrangement (Atkinson & Sandiford, 2016) by including training courses and limiting overtime.…”

Organizations are expected to be more actively engaged in the current issues within their respective focus field, including, but not limited to, social responsibility. The traditional business approach ignores social issues in management objectives. Determining the direction of the age management development is a criterion for the successful implementation of the concept of corporate social responsibility. Strategic documents support the implementation of age management at the society-wide level but not at the organizational level. Age management represents a specialized approach to management while taking into account the current unfavorable demographic conditions. The main aim of the paper is to identify problem areas of age management in the time of COVID-19 in the selected organizations in the Czech Republic and to make recommendations for their optimization. The research is based on the quantitative questionnaire survey (n = 183) and the statistical evaluation of data while looking for relations between the application of management practices with respect to the age of employees and identifying factors of organizations. The key findings of the study reveal that the greatest benefit of collaboration among all generations of employees in organizations lies in improving employee motivation and performance (67%), followed by the increased performance (59%).

“…Many authors emphasise the significance of the key dimension of diversity, i.e., the age of the hired employees [63] and the necessity for employers to adjust their attitudes towards different generations [49,64,65]. The analysis of academic publications indicated that a considerable proportion of studies in this area refer to elderly people [66][67][68]. However, age management rarely focusses on the youngest generation which is just entering the employment market or has only initial professional experience.…”

Applying the principles of sustainable development is an element of building the image of an organisation as an employer. The opinions of young people commencing their professional career in this regard may prove important for companies. The aim of this article is to identify a dependence between generation Z’s opinions on employer branding measures based on sustainable development taken by companies and the respondents’ gender. The article presents the results of primary research conducted on a sample of 291 students of higher education institutions in Poland. The methods include questionnaire surveys and statistical data processing. The results of the research suggest that sustainable development measures undertaken by employers increase the candidates’ motivation to apply for a job in the organisation. The analysis demonstrated that generation Z’s opinions on sustainable development activities carried out by employers and on the significance of employer branding are dependent on the respondents’ gender. The main conclusion is that women are more ecologically oriented than men, and following a sustainable development strategy is more important for them. Companies building employer branding should consider the adoption of various factors identified in the article, such as the Employee Value Proposition (EVP), especially when their workforce is gender-diverse.
