ARE THERE ANY SHORTCOMINGS IN LOGISTICS QUALIFICATIONS IN THE GROUP OF EMPLOYEES 50+?

Abstract

Rapid changes of the economic conditions seem to drive constant evolution of the logistics concept, thus introducing new ideas of supply chain management (SCM) and / or new management paradigms. These new concepts are reflected by the changes in organisational structures of companies requiring now modified skills and new type of knowledge from logistics employees [Kisperska-Moroń, 2000]. Dynamic changes on the market, the development of information and information technologies contribute to the growing demand for qualified and effective employees of logistics departments who can meet these and other challenges of the modern economy. The sources of employee efficiency, including competencies, have been the subject of interest of management sciences for years [Jarosz-Lewandowska, 2016]. Numerous studies and scientific studies prove that it is the competences of employees that affect the company's ability to achieve market success and are one of the sources of enterprise competitiveness. This makes it important to pay attention to logistic qualifications in the group of people 50+ who are employees of the logistics staff of Polish enterprises.
