Relation of Large Agricultural Holdings Towards their Employees

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The number of agricultural workers in the Czech Republic has been decreasing due to increased productivity and partly perceived unattractiveness of the sector. Besides, the workforce in the agricultural sector is ageing and most agricultural businesses are struggling to recruit workers, especially large agricultural holdings. Hence, attracting new people or retaining of employees is important. This can be done by both financial and non-financial incentives. Relation towards the employees is a part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concept and stakeholder theory as workers are important internal group that is influenced by the company and at the same time influence the company. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to examine the relation of the large agricultural holdings in the Czech Republic towards their employees. The article is based on the data from the survey mapping the socially responsible behaviour of large agricultural holdings in the Czech Republic with 133 representatives of the farms. The data was collected in October 2018. Almost all respondents acknowledged the importance of their employees. They communicated with them their decisions (mostly at the meetings) and provided them benefits to increase their satisfaction. The feedback was gained mostly by informal meetings. Considering the difficult situation on the labour force market, it was surprising that majority of agricultural holdings did not have elaborated strategy on attracting young people. The answers did not depend on the size of the farm which implicated that social responsibility towards the employees was very important for all of agricultural holdings for many reasons. Employees are understood not only a as production factor, but also represent important stakeholder from social point of view, because over half of companies stated that they employ some local people in agriculture also for the social reasons
