Women in ICT professions and ICT sector in the Czech Republic
Kristová, Markéta ; Šiklová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee) ; Riegel, Karel (referee)
This thesis analyses the low representation of women in the ICT professions as well as their inadequate representation in the ICT companies in the Czech Republic. Given it is the very first study of this kind in the Czech Republic, it also provides comprehensive catalogue of relevant foreign theoretical studies and hypothesis, which examine the issue of gender gap in the ICT. This thesis also deals with social and historical factors that - as approved by numerous empirical studies - have negative impact on the way girls and women relate to information and communication technologies, resulting in a low representation of women in the ICT professions. The above factors are applied to the context of the Czech society, using academic studies and other relevant sources in the field of equal opportunities, including qualitative interviews, which I conducted with ICT teachers and lecturers as well as women and men working in the ICT field. Not last, the thesis builds upon a qualitative empirical probe, which aims to introduce more detailed information about the experiences of women holding ICT positions in the Czech Republic. This particular research failed to prove the presumption that the work environment in the ICT companies in the Czech Republic is not sufficiently friendly or obliging towards women. Moreover,...

Pfeiferová, Štěpánka ; Dudová, Radka (referee) ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis "Women in the Role of Breadwinners and Care-takers: Work and Family Strategies of Single Mothers. Qualitative Inquiry" was written on the bases of a qualitative inquiry concerning the mutual relationship of single mother's work and private lives which is a part of the research "The Context of Changes in the Labour Market and Forms of Private, Family and Partner Life in Czech Society", carried out by the Gender and Sociology Department of the Institute of Sociology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The first part tries to survey the important labour market changes and the most distinctive family behaviour trends after 1989. The analytic part has as its subject to observe the mutual relationship of the changes within the two fields on a particular group of single mothers. To seize the problem, the method of semi-structured qualitative interviews was used, completed by a statistical analysis of previous representative survey data. The procedures applied should have helped to find an answer to the two key questions: In which way the current labour market demands reflect in the partnerships' fragility and How the single mothers' family situation affects their work behaviour. It reveals that structural changes of the labour market are closely related to the family-life modifications. It...

Fatherhood after parental separation
Dudová, Radka ; Šubrt, Jiří (advisor) ; Kozlová, Lucie (referee) ; Rabušic, Ladislav (referee)
Studies on fatherhood after a divorce usually focus on the father in terms of his negative or positive effect on the development of the child rather than as an actor experiencing a complicated personal and social situation. This study focuses on fatherhood as it is experienced and constructed by men who are divorced, do not have custody of their children, and no longer share a household with their children. It is aimed at analysing the changes in the role, identity, and practices of fathers after a divorce. The methodology used in the research is draws on a constructivist version of grounded theory, based on the assumption that observed reality arises out of the interpretative process and its temporal and cultural context. Thus the aim is not to identify a single objective reality but to observe the ways in which the subjects construct and interpret their own subjective reality. In the theoretical introduction to the study, contemporary theories on private life are discussed, in particular the theory of the individualised process, presented by Ulrich Beck and Elisabeth Beck-Gersheim, François de Singly and Anthony Giddens. The main factor for the increasing fragility of contemporary marriage and the failure of partner relationships is seen as lying in the individualisation of society. Theoretical findings...

Obstacles and opportunities for implementing flexible working arrangements in the Czech Republic
Formánková, Lenka ; Dudová, Radka ; Vohlídalová, Marta
The aim of the research project is to analyze all types of factors influencing the implementation of flexible working arrangements in the Czech Republic. In the analysis we research the flexible working arrangements in the international comparative perspective. We have chosen 5 European countries (France, Netherlands, Slovenia, Denmark and Sweden) with long lasting tradition of part time employment to analyze their specific experience and the relevant policy measures. Consequently we aim to compare the typical features of part-time employment and flexible working policies in the selected countries with the specific situation in the Czech Republic. On the basis of the findings, we will propose policy measures which would lead to better availability of the flexible working arrangements, above all part-time work, same as better conditions for the ones in flexible contracts, in the Czech Republic.
