Internal competition /

Vnitřní konkurence

Business Term of the Day

Definition

Internal competition is competition among employees within a given company.

Example sentence

The promotion policy at Thomson, Bertrand & Williams was amended to reduce internal competition and so that the employees will focus on productive endeavors rather than on trying to outcompete their peers.

Comment

Internal competition may result either intentionally or unintentionally in response to procedures, practices, and attitudes established and existing within a company. Up or out is an example of a working environment that is highly competitive internally. Even though it may seem that competitiveness among employees should boost productivity, this potential benefit is typically more than outweighed by the negative effects of reduced collaboration, workplace conflicts, and disagreeable qualities of the corporate culture.

Definice

Vnitřní konkurence je konkurence mezi zaměstnanci uvnitř dané společnosti.

Příklad použití ve větě

Politika povyšování ve firmě Thomson, Bertrand & Williams byla změněna, aby snížila vnitřní konkurenci, a aby se zaměstnanci věnovali produktivní činností namísto snaze předstihnout své kolegy.

Poznámka

Vnitřní konkurence může být způsobena buď úmyslně, nebo neúmyslně v reakci na procesy, praktiky a postoje ustanovené a přetrvávající ve společnosti. Systém up-or-out je příkladem pracovního prostředí, které je vnitřně vysoce konkurenční. Ačkoli se může zdát, že soutěživost mezi zaměstnanci by měla zvyšovat produktivitu, typicky ji zdaleka převáží negativní důsledky snížené spolupráce, konfliktů na pracovišti a nežádané rysy podnikové kultury.
