Determinants of perception of corruptive action
Nedorostová, Eva ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Höschlová, Eva (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the factors determining the perception of corruption, especially bribery. Its aim is to examine how selected situational and personality characteristics affect the extent to which certain behavior is perceived as corrupt. The theoretical part consists of the synthesis of theoretical knowledge about the phenomenon of corruption with a focus on its psychological aspects. The empirical part is based on the realization of the online questionnaire experiment, the main part of which consists of 11 hypothetical scenarios, which are evaluated in terms of the level of corruption. According to the prevailing finding is a certain behavior more often assessed as corrupt in the case of financial reward, "in advance" reward, required reward, the actor's consent to the incentive for corruption, the respondent's experience with bribery and surrogate experience with corruption. Less often, corruption is perceived in the presence of high probability of accepting or offering a bribe by the respondent, a high level of perceived prevalence of corruption in the Czech Republic and the perceived moral acceptability of corruption, and also in the case of service reward. No evidence of the influence on the perception of corruption was found for the amount of reward, the gender of the...
The Clock Drawing Test: Normative data for Czech elderly
Mazancová, Adéla ; Kulišťák, Petr (advisor) ; Vranka, Marek (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of limited normative data and its aim is to report the norms of the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) in a large sample of cognitively healthy Czech elderly (N = 501; aged 60 to 99). The CDT is a commonly used tool for screening of cognitive functions. We worked with the following version of test: clock drawing with pre- drawn circle and time setting 13.45 using three different scoring systems (Babins, Slater, Whitehead, & Chertkow, 2008; Cohen, Ricci, Kibby, & Edmonds, 2000; Shulman, Pushkar Gold, Cohen, & Zucchero, 1993). As a result, we found a significant effect of age and education, but non-significant effect of gender on CDT performance in old age. Therefore normative data was calculated considering those two demografical variables; the tables present means, standard deviations and t-scores based on defined subgroups. The results indicate that CDT performance of cognitively healthy elderly is negatively influenced by age, while directly proportional effect of education. Moreover it seems that the range of scores of the test grows with increasing age. Data collected in this thesis may be used for a more effective and standardized interpretation of CDT performance in old age in both clinical context and research. We also confirmed high inter-rater reliability...

The role of user data in digital marketing
Laštovičková, Andrea ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Vranka, Marek (referee)
This master thesis focuses on the role of surveillance and user data in digital marketing. It links the academic discipline of surveillance studies, which deals with the processing of personal data, with the field of digital marketing. Digital marketing, which is nowadays primarily mediated by the Big Five multinational companies, especially Google and Meta, operates primarily on huge amounts of user data. This data is often collected without the users' deeper knowledge and sold to advertisers to target and personalise advertising, analyse online shopping behaviour and modify user behaviour. Data mining thus has a crucial role in online marketing, which is constantly shifting and changing, also due to legislative protection of users' data privacy. This paper discusses the related theories of surveillance studies and links them to the practice of digital marketing. The research then focuses on the ethical aspects of the use of user data in digital marketing. It identifies and explains some of the ethical issues facing the field of digital marketing and data mining. Based on in-depth interviews with digital marketing professionals, it seeks to map professionals' attitudes towards ethical issues of working with user data and their possible solutions.
Differences in the perception of individual principles of persuasion according to Cialdini based on personality, gender, age and level of education
Klugerová, Sára ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
This study examines Cialdini's six principles of persuasion, which are reciprocity, scarcity, authority, commitment, consensus, and liking, and people's perceptions of these principles based on personality, gender, age, and level of education. The specific goals of the research are to find out how respondents with different personality traits according to the Big Five personality model are related to the rating of individual principles, whether there is a significant difference in the rating between men and women, between younger adults, older adults and seniors, as well as between several levels of education, and what order of persuasiveness the individual principles take according to respondents' rating. In the theoretical part, the study also provides an insight into the possible way of using knowledge about connections with persuasive principles in practice, through artificial intelligence. Several findings emerged from the questionnaire. Respondents rated individual principles from most to least persuasive in the following order: commitment, reciprocity, liking, authority, consensus, and scarcity. This order was the same within all persons and individual groups. Research has found associations between personality factors and ratings of persuasive principles. It shows that less open...

Within the exploratory research case study, the opinions of stakeholders in equestrian sport and horse breeding are obtained by a qualitative approach and then the socio-demographic data and information as well as the financial knowledge and financial behaviour of the horse owners themselves are collected by a quantitative method. According to the data obtained, the group of horse owners shows low financial knowledge and poor financial behaviour. In addition to the low level of financial literacy of the group of horse owners surveyed, problems related to poor general knowledge concerning horse breeding are also identified. On the basis of these findings, the thesis identifies subjects for which this work should serve as a basis for directing others to better formulate rules for...
Strategic communication of sustainability and social responsibility of Plzeňský Prazdroj: A Case study of the Pro Chmel project
Chánová, Lucie ; Klabíková Rábová, Tereza (advisor) ; Vranka, Marek (referee)
Although companies today are expected to be more socially engaged than ever before, and almost no company can avoid it, the topic of social responsibility and sustainable policies dates back to the 19th century. This paper explores both the evolution of social responsibility and its associated topics such as sustainability, ethics in business and legitimacy, while also addressing the communication side of the issue. Communicating both the socially responsible activities and the sustainable approach of a given firm has become a critical issue in building trust and maintaining the legitimacy of the firm in the eyes of stakeholders. This thesis focuses on the principles and rules of communication that Plzeňský Prazdroj has set in the context of sharing socially responsible and sustainable topics. At the same time, it examines the development of individual corporate sustainability reports, specifically in the years 2015-2021. In the analytical part of this thesis, the author conducts a critical analysis of the PRO CHMEL project, using not only a quantitative content analysis of selected communication channels of the project, supplemented by its media coverage, but also in-depth interviews with selected stakeholders.
