The importance of experience gained through student work in subsequent employment of Human Resource Management students

Pomen delovnih izkušenj, pridobljenih tekom študentskih let, je v današnjih sodobnih družbah vse večji. Vse pogosteje se namreč izpostavlja dejstvo, da izobrazba nikakor ni več edina ločnica pri razlikovanju med »boljšimi« in »slabšimi« zaposlitvami oziroma boljše ter slabše plačanimi delovnimi mesti. Ravno zato je, ko govorimo o kakovosti tranzicije mladih na trg delovne sile, o že osvojenih znanjih in veščinah zelo pomembno raziskovati. Pri tem je cilj diplomske naloge (poleg predstavitve dosedanjih teoretičnih dognanj s tega področja) pridobitev mnenj oziroma stališč študentov kadrovskega menedžmenta in zaposlenih kadrovskih menedžerjev o vplivu študentskih delovnih izkušenj s področja kadrovanja na opravljanje poklica kadrovski menedžer. Podatki so bili pridobljeni preko izvedbe 20-ih pol strukturiranih intervjujev. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da izkušnje kot prvič krajšajo dolžino dobe iskanja kasnejše zaposlitve. Kot drugič, večinoma krajšajo dolžino uvajalne dobe in kot tretjič pozitivno vplivajo na samo kakovost opravljanja tega poklica. Natančneje, povečujejo hitrost, kakovost izvajanja delovnih nalog, ki se pojavljajo na tem delovnem mestu (četrti pomen) in zvišujejo stopnjo razvitosti tistih splošnih kompetenc (peti pomen) ter tistih predmetno-specifičnih kompetenc, ki kadrovske menedžerje vsakodnevno spremljajo (šesti pomen).The importance of the work experience gained during the student years is growing in today’s modern societies. It is becoming increasingly more obvious that the education is no longer the only dividing line between "better" and "worse" jobs or higher and lower paid jobs. That is why it is very important to research the field of knowledge and skills that had already been acquired when talking about the quality of the transition of young people to the labor market. In addition to the presentation of current theoretical findings in this field, diploma thesis gathers opinions or views of Human Resources Management students and employed Human Resources Managers on the impact of student work experience in HR on Human Resources Manager profession. The data was collected using 20 semi - structured interviews. Firstly, it was found that experiences shorten the length of the job search period. Secondly, they shorten the length of the onboarding process and thirdly, they also have a positive impact on the quality of the work performance (as Human Resources Manager). Specifically, they increase the speed, quality of completing work tasks that are part of the job (fourth meaning) and increase the level of development of those general competencies (fifth meaning) and those subject-specific competencies that HR managers need on a daily basis (sixth meaning)
