"We drag the cart of capitalism on and on": Ethnography of factory production
Virtová, Tereza ; Stöckelová, Tereza (advisor) ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (referee)
This thesis presents the main results of a five-month ethnographic research project in a global factory in the Czech Republic. It is focused on three topics. Due to a number of ethical dilemmas that accompanied the research, the first part examines ethics in anthropology, both the instruments of the institutionalization of professional ethics and "ethics in practice". As a strategy for dealing with ethical dilemmas the thesis aims at a reflexive approach, as proposed by Guillemin and Gillam (2004) not only to ensure rigor in research methodology, but also as a form of "morally adequate research work". The second research focus is the production line. The line makes sense - that is, produces stuff - only when people and machines interconnect. Symmetrical analysis juxtaposes humans and machines and explores the dynamics of agency as it shifts the borders between people and machines and the characteristics that each takes from the other. The last part of the thesis presents the factory as an actor in the labor market. Through the analysis of economic and organizational factors as well as workers" stories and interpretations and regional authorities" accounts, the final part tries to explain the perception of the factory as a stable and relatively solid employer. Keywords: global factory, ethics,...

Gender consequences of parents' separatation on their subsequent career paths in connection with caring of their minors
Malínková, Markéta ; Dvořáčková, Jana (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the effects of parents' divorce or separation on their subsequent career paths in connection with the care of joint minors and the gender differences of this situation. Using qualitative research, I am looking for an answer to my research question: What is the perception of career changes after divorce/separation from the point of view of mothers and fathers? The work is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, I focus on the principles of the functioning of the current social order from the gender point of view and how it shapes the behavior of individual actors and actresses. Using the concepts of somatization of domination, cultural optical glasses or hegemonic masculinity, I draw the attention to the invisible mechanisms that influence the actions of every member of society. This social order frames the situation of parents after separation/divorce, when women and men are in a different social position and therefore have to choose different strategies. Parents who do not live in the same household must find new ways to satisfy their own and their children's material, emotional and practical needs. Both have to decide whether to go to work for economic earnings or to stay at least partially at home and take care of their...

Svobodová, Tereza
The diploma thesis deals with the development of unemployment in the territory of the Czech Republic in the period 2020–2021. The aim of the thesis is to reflect the changes in unemployment rate in the given territory as a result of government restrictions in order to protect the public health of the population in connection with the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Based on secondary data of the unemployment rate, the thesis interprets the numerical transformation of the growth of unemployment across the regions of the Czech Republic. These knowledges are placed in the context of temporal events of interventions in the economy. The results of the analytical part proved that the anti-epidemic measures is-sued as part of the prevention of the covid-19 disease had an effect on increased unemployment. The national average of the unemployment rate increased by 1.1 p. p. as of 31 December 2020. At the same time, based on the results, it can be stated that there are differentiations between regions, which are dependent on the struc-ture of the industry and their share of employment in the given industry. The high-est year-on-year increase as of 31 December 2020 was recorded in the district of Karlovy Vary by 3.4 p. p., the smallest in the district of Prachatice by 0.3 p. p.

The Effects of the Level of Motivation for Junior Staff in Ghana: The Case of University of Ghana, Legon
Baffoe-Takyi, Kwame
Abstract This study is about the connection between the types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and their effects on employee performance. The thesis is an extensive research on the campus of the University of Ghana together with a review of the work of other scholars. In prior research on this subject led by Vroom (1964) it was presumed that a positive relationship between motivation and employee performance was non-existent. Be that as it may, later researches demonstrated that it is a possibility indeed to motivate employees intrinsically and extrinsically to perform to their maximum best, and that employee motivation and job performance are decidedly related (Petty et al., 1984). Those latter theories proved that when organizations put the right measures in place, employees are naturally propelled to repay management with improved performance. This perceived relationship is investigated in this thesis and the idea is to provide valuable information to stakeholders in the management of public universities in Ghana, especially the University of Ghana, to help make informed decisions on junior staff employees in these institutions. At the end, the researcher makes useful policy recommendations to management of public universities in Ghana to help forestall the possibility of industrial actions, which have plagued the Ghana labour market from hitting the country’s few public universities.

Asare, Angelina
This thesis seeks to ascertain the current situation as compared to the development of the Agricultural sector and other sectors before and after the commercial production of crude oil in Ghana on economic development. The study assesses the performance of Agricultural export and import, the labour market in the economy and the industrial sector. Data for the study was obtained from the Ghana statistical service, Bank of Ghana database, OEC, and Statista databases. Leontief Wassily Input-output model was modified as import-export for data analysis and concluded that the newly discovered oil has led to the decline of Agricultural and other product export market share in Ghana but with no significant movement of labour from other sectors to the oil sector due to lack of skills. To address this issue, the government must focus on agricultural and other sectors which have been the main source of revenue before commercial production of oil to achieve economic diversification and stability in Ghana Economy.
