Team leadership in the hospital
MIKEŠ, Zdeněk
The first objective of the bachelor?s thesis was to assess the team via the first line manager. With regard to this issue, I had created the related questionnaires. I have also applied the method of interviews. Based on these methods, I have acquired information that helped me to understand the team management from the view of the first-line manager. The second objective of my thesis was to propose measures to develop teamwork in the above stated organisation. This included the assessment of the manager and their duties and the team management and their motivation for a consistent or better performance. I found some shortfalls at this point which I have addressed and further suggested certain measures.

The role of the nurse manager in facilitation of adaptation process of new employed anaesthesiological and intensive care nurse
HUDCOVÁ, Lenka
Successful coping with adaptation process by a nurse newly joining an intensive medicine workplace is quite a complicated process. Mastering sophisticated instrumentation, specialist demands of nursing care provision and everyday physical load as well as psychical stress expose each newly coming nurse to a wide spectre of demands the unconditioned coping with which is a basic precondition of successful integration to an elite team. Each incoming nurse (not just at an intensive care workplace) should be particularly supported by her nurse manager in the far from easy adaptation process, who can substantially help a new nurse adapt to the new environment and become an equivalent team member. The Thesis is aimed at the role of a nurse manager in comforting an adaptation process of a nurse joining an ARD and an ICU. The aim of the Thesis was to map the role of a nurse manager in adaptation process of a nurse joining an ARD and an ICU and to find out how such a nurse manager helps a nurse joining an ARD or an ICU with adaptation. Further aims were to map the process of adaptation of a nurse joining an ARD or an ICU itself and to examine the factors that mostly influence the adaptation process of a nurse joining an ARD or an ICU. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research was applied to the research part of the Thesis. A semi-standardized interview conducted with ARD and ICU ward sisters in selected hospitals in Prague was chosen as the data collection technique for the qualitative part. A questionnaire designed for nurses working at ARDs and ICUs in selected Prague hospitals, who themselves were undergoing or have recently undergone such an adaptation process was chosen as the data collection technique for the quantitative part. The aims of the Thesis have been met. The research results clearly showed that the adaptation process of a new nurse is not only based on effective specialist training, but also in integration of the nurse into the existing working team. It is thus necessary for a nurse manager to take sufficient care to the adaptation process and help a new nurse become an equivalent member of the team, which will thus achieve the set goals of the department as well as the whole organization under her efficient guidance. The results of our research may thus contribute to better awareness of the individual motivation factors of the adaptation process among the involved public. Upon the information found about functioning of a nurse manager in the process of adaptation of a nurse joining an ARD or an ICU a thought map was created, which might help as inspiration or as a manual for execution of this highly demanding process itself.

Requirements for manager development in the current human resources management
ŠPERLOVÁ, Radka
The aim of my bachelor{\crq}s work was to define manager development requirements in an engineering company. I consider such topic as essential. Managers play a significant role in any firm, company, etc. They contribute to company achievements and prosperity by their own efforts and because they not only make employees put their best skills and efforts to give their best performance, but they themselves put in their best skills and efforts as well. The managers are responsible for obtaining the results demanded. In order to gain needed information, the selected group of managers were submitted a questionnaire survey whose questions and enquiries concerned basic information about the managers (age, education, period spent in a managing post), education itself (the most important areas of education, assessment of educational activities, etc.) as well the assessment and evaluation of their working environment, manager{\crq}s traits of character or motivation of the employees. The surveyed company has developed a well functional personnel department ensuring trainings for all the company employees. As positive finding, I consider the fact that the managers in general find further education as beneficial and important, even though the majority has gained rich experience drawn from years of work practice. At the same time however, not all of the managers would be willing to devote their time to further, several-year education, which is more or less the consequence of the higher age structure of the manager sphere. I found out that the company dealt with foreign customers and clients a lot, with German speaking companies in particular and on the base of the answers provided in the questionnaire I would suggest regular language courses tailored for some of the managers. Unfortunately, language courses in general are now considered as benefits and perks being limited in most companies. On the other hand, I have to admit that the employees dealing with foreign companies on regular basis prove their language skills on a high, professional level. Most of the examined managers consider expert knowledge as the most essential. However, I would recommend them to pay more attention to working relationships among the employees working in teams as well as to focus on sufficient motivation of their inferiors. In conclusion, I would like to point out that the education of the managers in the surveyed company is on a high professional level and that the further development of each manager is his or her own personal development, as no company cannot be responsible for further development of its employees.

The effect of the type of profession on the perception of stress
NIEMCOVÁ, Markéta
The thesis reviews scientific findings relevant to the issues of stress and burn-out syndrome in its theoretical part. It focuses both on the general description of the two related phenomena and their detection and prevention options, as well as on the relationship between them and the individual{\crq}s specific professional specialization. The research part of the thesis concentrates on mapping out of severity and frequency of stress situations, on feelings associated with the burn-out syndrome, and on the possibilities of social support systems among the respondents working in different types of professions and represented by three samples: teachers {--}future educational counselors-, managers in supranational consulting companies, and therapists providing care for individuals with mental retardation and psychiatric disorders. The present work further looks at differential subjective perception of stress events among these professions. Questionnaires BMS (Ayala Malach-Pines, 2005, The Burn-out Measure Short Version) and JSS-CZ (Spielberger, Knotková, Man, 1999, Inventář pracovního stresu) were used for the data collection, as well as additional personal questions. In addition, the results{\crq} implications and their limitations for possible generalizations are discussed.

Manager of a basic line as a member of multidisciplinaire team and his possibilities of the nursing care quality impact
VACHTOVÁ, Ivana
A manager is the one who sets everything on movement in an organization. He/she is also the one who gives order to the movement and who conditions success of all the processes running in an organization. His/her aim is to lead the team to efficient and good quality work performance. A nurse-manager performs the tasks of nursing care of individuals or groups by managing the nursing process. People and their work activities are her goals. She leads them to work, influences them and coordinates their performance, checks, assesses, guides and manages their professional careers. She affects the everyday workplace operation towards high performance and cooperation. She indirectly influences patient satisfaction, the nursing care and moreover also the organization prosperity in her everyday effort. She does all that with regard to satisfaction of the team members and their professional development. If she is to be a really efficient source she must be perceived basically as a capable and motivated person. This also means to do everything for her to become like this. The first goal of the work was to find out the determinants of success of an operative manager and his/her position in general. The second goal was to map the attributes of manager{\crq}s managerial position. The third goal was to map manager{\crq}s work with an operative group. Quantitative research was applied on the issue processing. Questioning, the technique of a questionnaire, was chosen as a data collection method. The questionnaire was designed for head nurses working in hospitals and social care facilities within the region. It consisted of 48 closed and one semi-closed questions. Hypothesis No. 1 states that managerial position is affected by horizontal and vertical relations within an organization. According to the research results the vertical relations may affect a position of a manager in both, positive and negative senses. The position may also be affected by relations between the manager and the staff reporting to him/her. If a manager lacks managerial skills his/her team might be unstable. Such a team might not perform good work and might provide medical care of poor quality. In the sense of vertical relation the position of a manager may thus be uncertain. Hypothesis No. 1 was confirmed. Hypothesis No. 2 says that quality relations between an operative line manager and the staff managed by him affect positively the nursing care. According to the research results the good quality relations may affect the nursing care positively under particular conditions. If the manager creates condition for successful team work and nurses in the team are satisfied. Hypothesis No. 2 was confirmed. Hypothesis No. 3 on a stable team that forms upon forming a functional network of informal social and work relations was also confirmed. In some managers{\crq} opinion a stable team forms upon a functional network of informal social and work relations. The thesis might be utilized for providing the found out information to the basic line managers at professional training sessions. It may contribute to better understanding in relation to the managed staff. Actually if managers are able to understand the issues of leadership and management of people they will have sufficient information in this field and will be able to understand it and lead their teams much better.
