Typology of team roles
Lexová, Adéla ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Voleková, Hana (referee)
This thesis deals with concepts of current team roles, personal dispositions and stages of teamwork development, which in theory are often thought to be related. There have been formed different typologies and categorisations of team roles, personality types and stages of teamwork. In most cases there was also designed an instrument, which is used to detect the current team role, personality type or stage of team development within a team or group analysis. These instruments are then used in teambuilding and to increase the effectiveness of teamwork. But their application and results bring different information. This work compares five instruments of team analysis, their application, validity, administration and connections. Final findings summarize, if these instruments are compatible, complementary or contradictory. The conclusions also show, if these instruments are subjectively assessed as appropriate and whether the instruments are able to detect team role, personal dispositions and stage of team development. Subjectively assessed as the best instruments for team analysis were showed Bělohlávek team roles test and MBTI personality type test, the higher level of their connection also highlights the link between current team roles and personality dispositions, as expected.

Matoušová, Barbora ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Gorčíková, Magdaléna (referee)
This thesis deals with recommendation as the omnipresent phenomenon, especially its mechanism of functioning. Recommendation is a common part of communication of each of us. It contains a conversation on any topic with friends or acquaintances that have certain experience with given topic and on the ground of this experience they intentionally provide negative or positive reference for the product, service or event discussed. It is not rare that the essence of recommendation is used for marketing and commercial purposes as for example various advertisements, websites or specific mobile applications. Recommendation is a specific form of social communication and we can look at it from more points of view. It is usual to divide communication situation using traditional models to participants, content, form, intentions and effects. These general findings are in this thesis connected with particular parts of life as entertainment, services, basic things and products of daily consumption, extra products and social relationships. As emerged from the analysis of the interviews, key concept of recommendation mechanism is trust. It plays an important role in all parts of recommendation structure.
