Ključne reči: brend poslodavca, upravljanje ljudskim resursima, zaposleni, ljudski kapital, konkurentnost, hoteli, Srbija

Sažetak


Ljudski resursi predstavljaju jedan od ključnih resursa za sticanje i održavanje
konkurentske prednosti hotela, pa uvećavanje vrednosti ljudskog kapitala postaje
prioritet za menadžment hotela. Jedan od načina da se vrednost ljudskog kapitala uveća
jeste izgradnja brenda hotela kao potencijalnog poslodavca. Cilj rada je ispitivanje
postojanja povezanosti između brenda poslodavca i konkurentnosti u Srbiji. Dobijeni
istraživački rezultati ukazuju na značaj sledećih pet dimenzija brenda poslodavca:
organizacione kulture, balansa između života i posla, atraktivnosti hotela, korporativne
društvene odgovornosti i mogućnosti obuke, razvoja i usavršavanja zaposlenih.
Sprovođenjem korelacione analize utvrđeno je prisustvo pozitivne, značajne veze
između dimenzija brenda poslodavca, dok rezultati regresione analize podržavaju uticaj
brenda poslodavca na konkurentnost. Značajan uticaj na konkurentnost ima
korporativna društvena odgovornost, kao jedna od dimenzija brenda poslodavca.
