The challenges of multilingual and intercultural team collaboration. A case study of KAM organization.
BOSZCZYKOVÁ, Iva
This master thesis examines challenges of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration using the example of Christian non-profit organization - Křesťanská Akademie Mladých (KAM). Qualitative guided interviews with its American workers were used to collect data that provided information on various aspects of intercultural and multilingual team collaboration such as challenges, communication, multilingualism and interculturality in the organization. Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis was used to evaluate the data, which led to conclusion that one of the biggest challenges for the American staff of this organization is the Czech language. In terms of longevity, quality of work and life in the Czech Republic, it is extremely important to learn the Czech language.

Interpersonal relationships and their projections into the quality of nursing care provision in intensive care units
FÜRST, Zdeněk
This thesis deals with interpersonal relationships and their projection into the quality of the provision of nursing care at intensive care units. 3 goals were set for this purpose and 8 hypotheses were subsequently defined and statistically analysed. The above-mentioned goals were achieved by the means of a quantitative research in which the technique of non-standardized questionnaires was applied (valid questionnaires returned: 56.5%). The research sample consisted of 173 intentionally selected respondents from among non-doctoral healthcare workers. The research has shown that positive interpersonal relationships prevail at intensive care units (61.3%). 87.3% of the respondents met their colleagues outside of working hours. Interpersonal troubles occurred among 44.5% of respondents, while interpersonal conflicts were noted among 59.5% of respondents. The occurrence of bullying was noted among 26.6% of respondents. Respondents mostly faced arguing and aggressiveness (22.1%) within the performance of their duties. They also faced offence and humiliation (18.2 %) and slandering (18.2%). The quality of nursing care was defined on the basis of the opinions of the respondents and their ability to cooperate. The proportion of the occurrence of good-quality and poor-quality nursing care does not differ (p = 0.323). The fact that the quality of the nursing care with positive and negative relationships differs (p < 0,001) was a significant finding; negative relationships reduce the quality of nursing care. We consider the issue this research deals with to be topical. The thesis presents an insight into the problems in question and can serve as a basis for further projects. The thesis also points out the importance of the regulation of interpersonal relationships at intensive care units on the basis of empiric data, and urges that interventions positively affecting these relationships be implemented as they can have a desirable impact on the quality of nursing care.

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.

Nováková, Linda ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Trunda, Jiří (referee)
The main aim of the work is a closer examination of team cooperation issues, and evaluation team coaching efficiency as a tool of prevention or of subsequent team problems solving. Formally, the text is divided to two elemental parts. The first one is comprised of theoretical framework of team coaching. There is a principal of team functioning explained, difference from a group and possible dangers that are connected with effective team functioning. Further on, the work describes basic coaching theories, principles, structuring, procedures and a partial framework definition, where the coaching implication is desirable and where it is not. Team coaching is here introduced as not particularly specific branch of coaching, attention to it is paid mostly from a methodological point of view. Student coaching and school team coaching issues are also a part of the work, which is followed by the empirical section. The empirical part consists of a basic evaluation of the pilot project, which subject was team coaching in high schools. Such a project has not had a parallel in the Czech Republic so far. Its primary part therefore worked not only as a coaching application test on class teams, but also as verification of a tool for such a project evaluation.
