Abstract
The article aims to determine the current situation in economic
subjects (ESs), what values and competencies are for managers
and executives, and what motivational factors are essential for
financial entities in the era of Industry 4.0. The article used standard
scientific methods, such as analysis, synthesis, induction, and
deduction, but also methods, such as content analysis of professional
and scientific literature, comparison, modelling, and basic
statistical methods, which verified the dependencies between the
selected elements. The article processes data from a questionnaire
survey conducted in 2020 (905 respondents) and 2021 (561
respondents). The respondents who filled out the questionnaire
survey were managers or owners of ESs, which are based in
Slovakia and are classified as micro, small, medium, or large enterprises.
We found in the study that there is a dependence
between the employment orientation of managers and the use of
career motivation factors, as well as between the passion for
work and the creativity of employees, and between the technological
and IT skills of managers and executive employees. It is
surprising that ES in Slovakia consider soft skills more important
than technological ones despite the pressure to support and
develop people’s digital skills.
