NHL Players Reward Management and Practice
 Calta, Ondřej ; Dvořáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Cetkovský, Pavel (referee)
The thesis investigates the rewarding system of professional ice-hockey players in the National Hockey League. The opening part describes theoretical foundation of collective bargaining and human resources management activities -- reward management and performance appraisal, while it also reviews related bases of sports economics. The empirical chapters describe the framework of reward practices as a result of collective bargaining between representatives of the National Hockey League club owners and the National Hockey League Players'Association and investigate effects of the Salary Cap and related instruments of cooperation between the clubs on the player labour market and certain activities of human resources management of the clubs. The thesis discovers a large impact of collective bargaining on economic system of the NHL, low flexibility of rewarding system as a result of Salary Cap related restrictions, a significant impact of these restrictions on the mobility of players within the market and an increase in importance of the club rewarding system rationalization. The thesis also aims for alternative application of the findings on HRM in organizations of more traditional sectors of economy.

Salary Cap and Its Influence on the NHL Human Resource Management
 Calta, Ondřej ; Beroušek, Petr (advisor) ; Campbell, Jan (referee)
This thesis describes the impact of salary restraints adopted by the National Hockey League after the 2004/05 season lock-out on human resource management (especially building of a team) and on a professional ice-hockey labour market. The theoretical part contains a description of all NHL HR management procedures and rules necessary to grasp the following empirical part. Negotiations, which led to formation of the contemporary Collective Bargaining Agreement are also mentioned in this part. The empirical chapters describe concrete impacts of the salary cap, some of which are illustrated in the case study. I ponder the veracity of hockey and economic experts' statements according to statistical evidence. The findings of my thesis point out a significant influence of the salary cap on HR management, concerning the (re)building of an NHL team. There is a growth of the importance of drafted players, while the trade volume of key players decreases. The salary cap also caused a more equal wage distribution at the expense of greatest stars and supported the employment of less experienced players. The thesis should set the basis for a more profound research of the NHL salary cap effects.
