SMOLÍKOVÁ, Martina
This diploma thesis is a part of the project called Selected Aspects of the Social Work Management (registration number GAJU 052/2019/S). The aim of my diploma thesis was to find out how the social workers are satisfied with the working conditions in the organizations. The partial aim was to determined how the adaptation process of the new social workers looks like. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is concentrated on describing conception of a social work, the social services, a profession of the social worker and the working conditions in the organizations. For the practical part a mixed research strategy using a schema QUAN-qual (The QUAN-Qual Model) was chosen. The hypotheses were tested by using Chi-square test - X2 a and signs scheme with significance level 0,05, 0,01 a 0,001. In a qualitative part there was used a technique of an interview according to the instructions and the data were processed with the usage of open, selective and axial coding. The qualitative research completes the quantitative part with knowledges of managers of chosen organizations providing social services. The qualitative part was realised through a self-designed questionnaire which was send to the managers and the social workers of the organizations providing social services in six randomly selected regions in the Czech Republic. In the research participated 396 managers and 331 social workers of the organizations providing social services (there was made a choice of the organizations from the register of the providers of the social services, 1245 organizations providing social services were addressed). In the context of the aims of the diploma thesis were determined two hypotheses. The general hypothesis (hypothesis 1) determining the dependence of the length of practice and education of the social workers on the satisfaction of the social workers with selected working conditions and hypothesis 2 which deals with length of the training of the new social worker according to the target group of the organization. Within the general hypothesis was confirmed statistically significant relation between education and satisfaction with the team. In other cases statistically significant relations between variables were not confirmed. In the hypothesis 2 statistically significant relation between the target group of the organization and the length of the training of the new social worker does not exist. According to the research question which focused on finding out what the working conditions of the social workers are from the point of view of their managers came up with five categories of working conditions (working background, salary, working benefits, team, relationship between superior versus inferior) and 2 categories related to dissatisfaction of the social workers (dissatisfaction of the social workers and solutions of the dissatisfaction). Moreover 3 categories related to the adaptation process (steps of the adaptation process, length of the adaptation process and introduction of working conditions). The interviews were realized with 24 informants. The results of my thesis are a part of the complex results of the project GAJU called Selected Aspects of the Social Work Management (registration number GAJU 052/2019/S). The obtained data will be used for further extension research or they can be used to make a proposal which can improve management of organizations providing social services.

Care Contribution and Control of its Use
SMOLÍKOVÁ, Martina
On January 1, 2007 there are drafting of new social benefits - care contribution. This benefit is defined by the low No. 108/2006 Coll., about social services. Making this law has brought in this area, many fundamental changes. Except that there was created a new conception of social services, their types, forms and conditions of the provision, but also introduced a new approach to finance for people in adverse social situation need help. To this time well improved allowance for the care of a relative or other person being replaced care contribution. It is conceived as a only one cash benefit social service system. It is called a subsidy on the head, the idea is the think that the person who needs care is financially at least to some extent independent and can have their choice needed service to "buy". The degree of dependence on the assistance of another person is determined in four levels - it should allow detailed, reliable and yet highly individual assessment of the needs of people. Main goal thesis was to explore experiences with inspections focusing on the use of contribution care, intermediate objectives were to identify the limits of process control from the view of social workers and detect the most common areas of deficiencies in the framework of implemented controls. Qualitative research was done by polling technique and for this reason was used semistructured interview. Concept of interview was based on six tematic parts. The data were collected from January to March 2016. The research group consisted of 10 social workers selected purposeful selecting at each contact point of the Labour Office of the Czech Republic, Regional branch České Budějovice. The results of the work showed, the control of the use of care contribution are made regularly and all contact centers Labour Office under the same methodological instruction, it means, individual social workers follow the same process. Social workers are in the process of inspections limited mainly personnel, it means a shortage of staff the department of non-insurance social benefits, deciding on benefit care contribution.

SMOLÍKOVÁ, Martina
The goal of each country is saving money during crisis. One of the ways how to reach it is to reform the social system. In the Czech Republic there is now ongoing the Social Reform of non-insurance social benefits. The aim of this thesis was to explore the experience of officers, who works on non-insurance social benefits with the ongoing reform and social changes, what with the link of this reform occurred.On 1st January 2012 there was a merger of pay sites of state social support benefits, personal financial crisis benefits and benefits for people with disabilities. Decision and administration of these benefits from this date is made by one authority, which is the Labour Office of the Czech Republic. This step had carry on bring the possibility of more efficient management and administration of benefits and better controllability of funds. From 1st January 2012 can handle all services - both in the areas of mployment, state social support, assistance in personal financial crisis benefits for the people with disabilities through the Labour Office of the Czech Republic. Qualitative research was conducted by method of using the controllability interview. The concept of the interview was based on six topics. Collection data was ongiong in February and March 2014. The research sample consisted of nine officers of non-insurance social benefits selected purposeful selection at each office labor Czech Republic, the regional branch of the Ceske Budejovice. From the results of the work revealed, that individual officers still perceive in the reform rather disadvantages. Suggestions for improvement from his point of view doesn't have a range or they are only a small range. The biggest problem, what I see in the changes in the software, then in the creation and destruction subsequent of S-Card. Using of this card people should pay all non-insurance social benefits, in the future security and retirement benefits. Work have to feedback to the partial reform measures implemented in the context of payment non-insurance social benefits and can stimulate discussion on possible subsequent modifications.
