Employee development represents both an imperative and a
necessity for organizations strategically planning their business
ventures and caring for their future, especially during the transition to
Industry 5.0, where employees’ knowledge, abilities, and motivations
create a comparative advantage and bring significant benefits to
organizations. The paper examines the developmental opportunities
for employees through theoretical analysis and practical research,
considering their subjective assessments, as well as managerial
factors influencing development. The research was conducted on a
sample of 480 employees, using standardized questionnaires. The first
questionnaire measured developmental experiences using the
Developmental Experiences Description Scale (Wayne et al., 1997),
while the management style was assessed using the Supportive and
Non-Controlling Supervision Scale (Oldham & Cummings, 1996). The
results indicate modest assessments of development opportunities but
suggest that a non-directive management model may have a positive
impact on employee development.
