The Impact of the Coronavirus on Competence, from a Generation-Specific Perspective

Abstract

The range of knowledge, skills and competencies that are considered important and useful is constantly changing.A combination of many factors shape our preferences in learning and how acquired knowledge is perceived.The focus of this paper is to analyze what kind of knowledge and competence levels have been appreciated by the pandemic, as well as how each generation perceives the role and importance of the knowledge elements examined in the research.In the context of primary research, it was demonstrated that the Coronavirus has led to an increase in the value of more conscious behaviors, such as, health orientation and the pursuit of safety (H1).Furthermore, it was proven that, beyond the impact of the pandemic, it is true, that age (generational affiliation) influences the perception of the importance of certain competencies (H2).
