Abstract
Dynamiczne zmiany w otoczeniu skutkują poszukiwaniem przez organizacje nowych źródeł przewagi konkurencyjnej. Za główny czynnik budujący pozycję firmy uważane są obecnie aktywa niematerialne, a w szczególności kapitał ludzki, czego efektem jest wzrost oczekiwań pracodawców względem kompetencji pracowników. Powoduje to, że posiadanie ogólnych kompetencji jest niewystarczające do zapewnienia sobie odpowiedniego poziomu zatrudnialności. W artykule przedstawiono możliwości podnoszenia zatrudnialności poprzez pracę w MŚP. Organizacje te, ze względu na swoją specyfikę, kreują unikalne systemy pracy, które mogą tworzyć warunki do rozwoju pożądanych obecnie kompetencji. (abstrakt oryginalny)

Dynamic changes on markets cause organizations to search for sources of competitive advantage in intangible assets. These mostly correspond to human capital. As a result, the number, scope, and characteristics of required competences differ among branches and organization types. This is why generic competences stemming from knowledge obtainable by way of formal education are not enough to achieve an appropriate level of employability. In this article it is the possibility of improving employability by working in SMEs that is analyzed. SMEs create specific work systems that, because of their informality and flexibility, can provide an opportunity to improve competences crucial for modern organizations. (original abstract)
