DETERMINANTS OF PLANNING IN THE SLOVAK ENTERPRISES IN GLOBALIZATION ERA

The planning in Slovak enterprises is influenced by the turbulent development of the business environment ever since 1989. There were numerous capital amends of Labour Code, there were changes of tax rates and taxing system in general, there is public finance consolidation ongoing, etc.). There is also a historical context (the central planning ceased to exist in 1989 and a lot of starting entrepreneurs were lacking experience in planning since they did not need to plan by themselves in the past) which influenced and is influencing still the way of planning in many enterprises. The paper evaluates the impact of the foreign ownership, size of organisation and work position on selected problems (the methods of planning used for estimation of the future need of employees; further education and development of employees and fairness of assessment system of employee performance). The number of evaluated enterprises was 1221, which means the research sample is representative for the Slovak Republic. Since the assumption of normality was violated, the non-parametric methods (Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance; Mann-Whitney Test) were used for evaluation of the impact of selected factors. Were needed the post hoc testing was applied. The results confirmed the type of used planning methods depends on the size of organisation and the perception of fairness of assessment system is influenced by the work position of respondent. The impact of foreign ownership on further development and education of employees was not confirmed.
