Social Aspects in a New Work Age

Abstract

The chapter deals with social aspects in a new work age. It describes perceptions for a new era society that will affect the labour market and all organisations on the markets. There are actually soft systems. Managers often do not know to collaborate with them. This leads to a deterioration of the working environment, an increase in sickness, and an increase in the number of nonconformities. At the same time, we are already an information society. Of course, morals are disappearing. Employees of organisations are ageing. The consequences of economic, technical, and political changes worsen the social sphere. Classical management methods are not so effective at solving them and they have been associated with a functional approach. Organisations within the management system should have an established process approach. Therefore, there is a need to change the characteristics of the system and to adapt the managerial approach to the soft aspects.
