Rozwój zawodowy pracowników w małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach

This paper discusses the issue of professional development by small and medium enterprise employees. The specific qualities of SME activities in this area are identified on the basis of literature and numerous studies—informality, reactivity, the short–term perspective, focus on solving current problems, learning by doing (“on–the–job” training is the predominant method), focus on the development of specific skills and organizational knowledge, and a lack of professionally organized training. The article also indicates the most important conditions for the development of SME personnel.
