Machová, Veronika ; Gregor, Martin (advisor) ; Švarcová, Natálie (referee)
Non-equity Crowdfunding: Funding Success and Dynamics on Hithit Veronika Machová Abstract Non-equity crowdfunding, as an innovative way of financing new ideas, has been growing enormously over recent years. Crowdfunding projects are often characterized by a predetermined monetary goal and the length of the campaign. Furthermore, potential contributors can observe the level of funding provided by others, which suggests that details of previous contributions play an essential role in funding behavior. We obtain data from the Czech crowdfunding platform Hithit, which allow us to empirically analyze the determinants of success and the funding dynamics of crowdfunding projects. Outcomes from several probit regressions indicate that shorter campaigns and campaigns offering private rewards of lower value are more likely to be successful-but these results do not demonstrate causality. A short campaign signals confidence; this positive signaling effect outweighs the marketing- opportunities effect of a long campaign. Applying fixed effects model to panel data, we show that the amount of contributions is negatively associated with the level of funding already achieved, providing evidence of free-riding effect. However, the effect of past contributions is reversed in the final phase of the campaign as the risk of...

Possibilities of Influencing Job Satisfaction of Nurses by Nursing Management
BALOGOVÁ, Renata
Aims, research questions and hypotheses: The subject of the research is to evaluate the possibilities of influencing job satisfaction of shift nurses by head nurses. Three aims were set based on the subject of this research. Aim 1 To assess the level of job satisfaction of nurses with working conditions. Aim 2 To evaluate the requirements of nurses to increase their job satisfaction. Aim 3 To identify the possibilities of influencing job satisfaction of nurses from the view of head nurses. Methodology and research sample: In this diploma thesis the qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were used. The quantitative research was carried out by using standardized HCI questionnaires. The questionnaires were given to nurses in selected organizations (Tábor Hospital, Jindřichův Hradec Hospital, Kutná Hora Hospital, Chýnov Retirement Home). The size of the research sample is 164 respondents. The qualitative method of the research was carried out by in-depth interviews with ward and head nurses of the selected organizations (Tábor Hospital, Jindřichův Hradec Hospital, Kutná Hora Hospital, Chýnov Retirement Home). We interviewed 10 head nurses. Conclusion and the results: The results suggest that the shift nurses are not satisfied with their job, 39% of nurses feel to be "not very satisfied" in their job. The overall job satisfaction of nurses increases with the good working team. Job satisfaction of nurses is also influenced by the length of practice. Job satisfaction gradually decreases with the length of practice. However, in the category "10 and more years of practice" job satisfaction increases again. Education also affects job satisfaction of nurses. The university nurses are the most satisfied, on the other hand the college nurses are the least satisfied. Job satisfaction of nurses decreases depending on physical demands of their jobs. The preferences of motivation factors of shift nurses differ in the category "Others" (meal vouchers, supplementary pension insurance). The preferences of benefits increase depending on age and the length of practice. The nurses' requirements do not change with the other benefits. The good financial evaluation would help to influence job satisfaction of nurses. Head nurses influence job satisfaction of nurses by non-financial benefits, pleasant leadership style, positive assessment and the opportunity of changing shifts. The output of this diploma thesis is the proposal of motivation program to increase job satisfaction of nurses.
