Zavadová, Kateřina ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Legnerová, Kateřina (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with volunteering of seniors in intergenerational programs. In my work I deal with the phenomenon of volunteering as a beneficial civic activity, together with the phenomenon of an ever-growing post-productive group of our population, the elderly. I connect these two phenomena in my work and put them into interaction with intergenerational issues. The aim of the research part is to map the possibilities of volunteer involvement of seniors in intergenerational programs in the Czech Republic, where senior volunteers act as service providers to the younger generation. I focus on various programs in which the oldest and youngest generation interact directly through various activities. The specific objectives are to find out how senior volunteers are addressed in these intergenerational programs from the perspective of program coordinators and to clarify the causes of the small number of senior volunteers involved in these programs.

Krčálová, Gabriela ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Legnerová, Kateřina (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of commercialization of civil society organizations, specifically the relationship between the social mission and the requirements of the market economy, which organizations encounter in the implementation of their own commercial activities. The research part of the work is a case study, which was carried out in the social enterprise Přestupní stanice as a hybrid form of civil society organization operating on the border of the non-profit sector and the market sector. Through a case study, the work seeks to understand the experience that managers have with situations where there is a confrontation between the social mission and the requirements of the market economy, whether they perceive this confrontation as conflict or not, and how to resolve a potential conflict. The research findings show that in the researched organization, commercialization in the form of the introduction of commercial activities serves to support goals and social mission, and both of these elements (fulfillment of social mission and implementation of commercial activities) complement each other, constantly balance and cannot be separated for functioning.

Motivations of employees to participate in corporate volunteering
Přibylová, Lucie ; Legnerová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with employees' motivation to participate in corporate volunteering, which is an integral part of civil society and each company's corporate social responsibility. Corporate volunteering is on the rise, but not every company perceives it with all the aspects that it could bring to it, its employees and society. I put into the context not only corporate volunteering, but also employee / volunteer motivation. In the research I found out the main and most frequent motivation of employees of three selected companies to participate in corporate volunteering, which I then compared with each other. Thanks to the research, I suggested to companies how they could improve corporate volunteering programs for their employees so the employees have more interest and credibility. Recommendations can be an inspiration for other companies that would like to start with corporate volunteering or promote it more in their company.
