Abstract

The research was done on how the effectiveness of human capital exploitation is influenced by the relevance of skills required by employer. The research problem: the mismatch of employee skills to employer’s requirements gives cause to an inefficient use of human capital, causing damage to both employers and employees. Study objective: To ascertain employees, working in the banking sector, skills, education and qualification compliance with industry requirements and determine how discrepancies affect employee motivation. The ability to make impartial self-appraisal of own activities and competences, is particularly important, because only a man who is able to impartially assess may plan the future, choose the right career directions, evaluate own characteristics, and identify cumbersome obstacles.
