Doskočilová, Veronika ; Fošum, Jan (advisor) ; Mohelník, Tomáš (referee)

Moral profile of a social worker as a prerequisite for the quality of social work
BLÁHOVÁ, Petra
The diploma thesis focuses on the core and issues related to the work of a social worker and it strives to evaluate the essence of their moral profile. Based on that, it was necessary to define the terms of social work and thus state that a social worker must have a whole range of knowledge, abilities and skills. These include so-called soft skills such as empathy, the ability to listen, the ability to solve conflicts, communication skills. The personal value ladder, characteristics, life views and experience and many others determine the social worker´s approach towards their clients. In the next part I was dealing with ethical dilemmas the social worker faces and they are trying to manage via specific types of approach. The main objective of this thesis was to uncover what kinds of ethically dilemmatic situations the social workers may encounter and what strategies they choose to use in order to manage them.

KUČEROVÁ, Kristýna
The bachelor thesis is focused on moral competencies and social desirability of the security and armed forces of the Czech Republick. Specifically, for firefighters and soldiers. The theoretical part of the work is divided into two main parts. The first of them is focused on moral competencies. First, I deal with the theoretical basis of moral reasoning and then the basic concepts related to morality. Furthermore, I deal with psychological theories of morality and their starting points. The second part of the theoretical part deals with the concept of social desirability. This part is focused on terminology, the construct of social desirabillity, the two-factor model and measurement methods. In the empirical part I focus on the preferred stage of moral reasonin accorditn to Kohlberg´s for security and armed forces, the relationship between social desirability and the level of moral judgment. The research group consists of a total of 213 respondents. In verifying the established hypotheses, no statistically significant difference was found between the level of moral competencies of members of the security forces and the civilian population, and no significant difference was found in the level of moral competencies depending on education. The difference between the level of social desirability of the security forces in comparison with the civilian population was found, the hypothesis determining the connection between the preferred level of moral competencies was supported and the hypothesis dealing with the inconsistency between the C-score and social desirability was supported.
