Šuk, Marek ; Novotná, Eliška (advisor) ; Šimůnek, Michal (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a study of the use of the social networking site Facebook in relation to a selected social community from the point of view of the author. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the selected social community and to address this issue, four aspects concerning the selected community are analysed; structure, sociopreferential relationships, social capital and social integration. In the first part of the thesis, I describe the existing theoretical knowledge about social integration, the sociological concept of social community, social capital and its theories and the history and basic characteristics of social networking sites. In the second part of the thesis, I describe the selected community's structure and the processing of data, obtained from research, exploring the frequency of social interactions in this community during a defined period of time. Through chosen sociometric methods, I draw conclusions which address the four aspects outlined above, thus fulfilling the aim of this thesis. The outcome and significance of this thesis is to provide inspiration to companies to achieve greater efficiency of performance by working more effectively with their employee teams.
