Motivational factors in the selection of study fields of Special Pedagogy and Rehabilitation and Psychosocial Care for Handicapped Children, Adults and Seniors
MEDOVÁ, Šárka
This Bachelor´s thesis deals with the motivational factors when selecting fields of study in Special Education and Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care for children, adults and seniors. The concept of motivation is not important only in the professional life of a person. Motivation is the motive which leads towards one´s set objective. The choice of a branch of study depends on many factors that can influence it. Continue studying can be a family tradition, or it is only seen from the economical point of view, with an idea of a better economic security. Some people see selecting their field of study as a way of self-realization. The aim of this thesis is to determine the most important motives that influence students of Special Education and Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care for children, adults and seniors at Faculty of Health and Social Studies in České Budějovice when selecting their field of study. The secondary aim of the thesis is to determine a level of satisfaction of examined fields of study and professional training. Quantitative research methods, in this case questionnaires, were used during the research. The questionnaires were anonymous and each included 18 questions that were mostly closed or semi-closed questions. From the 7thApril to the 10th April 2014, the questionnaires were distributed to full-time students studying Bachelor´s programs of examined fields. The total number of respondents was 120, 115 of them answered. The majority of respondents were women. According to the research, the students studying Special Education and Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care for children, adults and seniors studied mostly at secondary vocational schools specialized in health care. Other secondary schools were secondary vocational schools specialized in pedagogy, chosen by the students studying Special Education, and secondary grammar schools chosen by the students studying Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care. The most respondents studying Special Education have chosen this field in order to continue in the same field they studied at secondary school. This may lead to satisfaction that they have made a good decision when selecting a secondary school and reinforce their idea of future profession. We can notice a similar development for the field of Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care. However, in this case, there is a high number of students who studied secondary grammar schools, which might be caused by searching the right specialization or by influencing their choice. The most common answer to the question about motivation was that anybody from the family was not a role model. This is related to another examined fact: in most cases, the choice of the field of study has not been influenced by anybody else, the choice has been made by respondents themselves. That is why they have chosen a school where they can use their interests and where they can study what they enjoy. A high number of respondents were also influenced by their after-school activities. Just a minimal percentage of respondents have chosen their field of study form their negative experience. Almost a half of the respondents have experience with a handicapped person from their family or surroundings. The majority of the respondents, studying the examined fields of study, is satisfied with the curriculum, only a small part of them is not satisfied or sure with the field of study. The respondents studying Special Education feel they deepen their interest in the field of study thanks to the professional training they practise; to a lesser extent so do the respondents studying Psychosocial Rehabilitation Care. The respondents from both fields of study agree that their field of study make them surer about their ideas of future professions.

Working Motivation of Nurses
FLORIÁNOVÁ, Michaela
Current status: The word motivation means to move. A motive is a factor that forces us to move ahead and meet our goals. The American Professor Frederick Herzberg dealt with motivation and compiled the motivation-hygiene theory of motivation. In this theory he focused on the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of respondents with work and the circumstances that led to those feelings. (2, 3). Subject: The aim of the research was to explore the extent to which hygiene (maintenance, external) and motivation (internal) factors affect job satisfaction of nurses. Methods: To obtain the necessary data for processing the thesis, quantitative research was used and it was conducted using a non-standardized questionnaire. Nurses and ward nurses in hospital wards in České Budějovice were involved. The theme of the questionnaire concerned the motivation and external factors according to Herzberg. The questionnaires were processed by SPSS, a non-parametric correlation test, and for evaluating the response rate a descriptive statistical function was applied. For statistical confirmation of the hypotheses was chosen 5% level of significance. Participants: In the study were included shift nurses and ward nurses in hospital wards in České Budějovice. A total of 250 questionnaires (100%) were distributed and 143 questionnaires were returned (57.2%). Nurses were contacted at the Department of Dermatology, ENT, ophthalmology, internal, surgical, rehabilitation, aftercare, ARO, children and urology wards. Results: The evaluation of the external factors of work motivation were observed in the following areas: policy and administration, relations with superiors, relationships with workers of the same level, salary, job security, personal life, working conditions and status. The results show that nurses are not satisfied with the wages (74.2%) and in their opinion, wages do not correspond with the work done (78.4%). Respondents pointed out that there are frequent conflicts within the team (52.5%) and lack of involvement in decision-making (57.4%). On the contrary, most nurses (92.3%) feel good among colleagues and say there is also a good atmosphere in the workplace (89.5%). Interpersonal relationships at work are also evaluated positively (88.8%) and the majority of nurses (93%) get along well with colleagues. The following areas were monitored within the evaluation of the motivational factors: recognition, promotion, work itself, the opportunity for personal growth and responsibility. Evaluation of the motivating factors revealed five negative areas. One of them is the stipulation of benefits given by the employer for work done above the norm; nurses responded that they do not receive these advantages (83.9%). According to the respondents, nurses do not have the opportunity for professional growth (51.1%) and promotion (74.2%). At the same time, in their opinion the occupation of a nurse is not considered prestigious (76.3%).They do not get recognition from superiors for successful or quality work (56.7%). On the contrary, a positive finding is that nurses have the option of continuing education (88.1%) and find self-fulfilment in their work (76.9%). Nurses get recognition from patients (62.2%). Conclusions and recommendations for practice: The results of the survey show that most nurses surprisingly answered both the motivation and external factors positively. The greater presence of external and motivation factors increased job satisfaction of the nurses. Their biggest problem was considered wages, which in the opinion of nurses does not correspond to the workload. The motivating factors fared best were training opportunities, good acceptation to the team and that the nurses enjoy the performed work and it suits them.

The motivation for the social work profession
KOŽURIKOVÁ, Magda
The thesis deals with the motivation that leads social workers to the choice of this profession. It refers mainly to the fact that the social work profession does not always act on the basis of pure motives, but sometimes its motives to help people can be not entirely correct. Despite this fact it cannot be said that such employee is unfit for social work. The crucial thing is to become aware of the source of the desire to help others and to learn to work with it. The theoretical part of the thesis should lead the readers who are involved in helping professions to think about what their motivation to be a social worker is and to use their knowledge for the benefit of their work and their clients. At the end of the theoretical part I deal with the burnout syndrome which may be caused by unresolved shady motives for a worker and also the question of the proper motivation and taking care of it. The practical part contains a study carried out by means of questionnaire, which was designed for social workers / social service workers in organizations if the Moravian-Silesian Region. It deals with the study of motivation (the motivation in choosing their profession, how the length of practice affects the motivation, the care of worker motivation in organizations, positive and negative motivation factors).

Ondračka, Michal ; Vláčil, Jan (advisor) ; Tvaroh, Stanislav (referee)
Work motivation is one of basic methods of management, it is a specific scientific field containing many scientific theories. An Effective motivation must be focused on characteristics of both the subject and the target. The greatest economic subject is the national economy with two cooperating sectors -- private, based on private ownership, and public sector financed by public sources. People engaged in one of these sectors can have various ideas and claims. For all managers, it is essential to know these claims and interests in order to apply a convenient motivation method. The aim of the proposed diploma thesis is to contribute to a solution of the following question -- is it necessary to motivate employees in public sector differently than employees in private sector? For this purpose I designed and evaluated a questionnaire. In last chapter, I suggest what measures are most convenient in order to reach the most effective motivation of employees in a public sector as well as in a private sector.
