HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AT CZECH SCHOOLS

There is no doubt that school workers (including teaching and non-teaching staff) are the most valuable source of any school because their actual abilities, motivation and results determine desired results of schools. The goal of the paper is to define the organization of human capital management at Czech primary and secondary schools and propose an optimal approach of school leaders (headmasters, deputy headmasters and other school managers) to managing school workers. Achieving the goal of the paper is based on the analysis of available scientific literature and the results of the authors' questionnaire survey on the organization of human capital management at Czech primary and secondary schools. The survey was conducted during the winter and summer semester 2017-18. The respondents were headmasters, deputy headmasters and other managers of Czech primary and secondary schools. The relevant data were obtained from 150 respondents. The data analysis was based on the calculation of relative frequencies and the evaluation of the dependence of responses using contingency tables and chi-square tests of independence. The findings support the assumption that anyone who leads others in the school should be involved in human capital management and participate in various human capital management activities.
