Quality of management of social service providers
Vrzáček, Petr ; Lorenz, Walter (advisor) ; Matulayová, Tatiana (referee) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Social peace has a high political value in democratically functioning societies, especially in countries with a socialist past. Politicians are responsible for its achievement by creating appropriate legislative and financial conditions, as well as organizations and their managements, which perform the specified functions in the system. Social service providers have an important position in the performance of social work. While there are quality standards for social services, no sector-relevant model has yet been created for management quality. The aim of this dissertation is to create a quality model of social service provider management based on pragmatism and constructivism. This model is created as an intersection of knowledge contained in organization theory and the current legislative setting of the two legal forms of providers, which are associations and institutions. The theory of the organization is conceived in the work as a meta-theory consisting of three perspectives, which are saturated with content by a set of sub-theories. The relevance of the resulting model is tested in the environment of organizations that took top positions in the Nonprofit of the Year competition in 2013-2019. The created management quality model has 14 perspectives, while the relevance of 12 of them was also...

Furthermore, I present other possibilities of working with youth that could be used in the context of low- threshold facilities. The aim of my work is to find out whether outdoor leisure activities have a positive potential for working with Roma youth.

Social work as a profession in the Czech Republic
Zajacová, Melanie ; Šámalová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Navrátil, Pavel (referee) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Social work, as one of the essential helping professions, must respond to the challenges of today, and social workers must reflect current events in the content of their work on a daily basis. The profession of social work and its theoretical foundations can be viewed from different perspectives. The thesis focuses on the description and analysis of the social work profession in its sociological-psychological-cultural context. The theoretical part is based on the conceptualization of the social work profession from the perspective of social constructivism. Malcolm Payne (2021) explains that a good reason for using social constructivism at social work is the idea that social conditions are "not set in stone". The nature of social work changes, just as historical events or relationships change in different social contexts. It is therefore not possible to define social work in one way for all times and across the whole world. The objective of the empirical part is to find out how social workers and the public perceive the profession of social work in the Czech Republic and thus supplement the so far missing empirical base with knowledge of the current state. The rating of the importance of the social work profession by the public and the rating of the importance of the social workers' own profession...

Where is the community? Case study of neighborhoods in Žiar nad Hronom
Kirschnerová, Hana ; Illner, Michal (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Community and its ties to locality have been bothering sociologists and researchers since society has abandoned its traditional organization. Many of them considered positive and negative aspects of industrial and later modern society's influence on community sense and human relationships. This thesis will walk the reader through the influential writings on the topic of community, meaning of space and human relationships. Starting with the appreciation of traditional community, through worries about its disappearance, diminishing importance of local ties and ending with complete anonymity and individualization. The empirical part of this thesis brings up results of the research conducted in neighborhoods of Žiar nad Hronom, town in central Slovakia. Findings from the interviews were confronted with ideas of New Urbanism, basically confirming role of architecture design in neighbors' relationships. Intensity, frequency and quality of interaction among neighbors are thus influenced by factors of spatial design, length of residence and busyness of residents. Nature of the relationships among neighbors is far from ideal (as in traditional community) but people look for communities in wider sense, creating networks with people from other social circles than those bounded to a place.

Work motivation
Jirásková, Hana ; Mudd, Dana (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Práce l spolu s rodinou představuje pro člověka jednu ze základních životních hodnot. V práci tráví člověk velkou část svého času a kromě toho, že mu poskytuje hmotné prostředky nutné pro obživu, je i základem jeho sociální identity. Zatímco pro člověka je důležité, aby práce uspokojovala jeho aktuální potřeby, pro zaměstnavatele je naopak důležité, aby člověk odváděl co nejlepší výkon, protože výkon jednotlivců se pak promítá do celkového výkonu organizace. Z tohoto pohledu je třeba zaměstnance k lepšímu výkonu podněcovat, motivovat. Z hlediska organizace je tedy motivace pracovníků považována za důležitou součást práce s lidmi, neboť se odráží ve výsledcích činnosti. Motivace jednotlivce se projevuje například v jeho vztahu k práci, v pracovní ochotě. Nemotivovaní pracovníci nebudou efektivně využívat pracovní dobu, nebudou se na práci dostatečně soustředit a jejich výkon bude celkově nižší ve smyslu kvality i kvantity. Nedostatečná motivace jednotlivců může také narušit pozitivní sociální klima organizace a tím ovlivnit i motivaci ostatních zaměstnanců. Problematika pracovní motivace a přístupu jedinců k práci je interdisciplinární záležitostí, systematiky se jí věnuje kromě sociologie andragogika. organizační psychologie či personalistika a Na pracovní motivaci je možné působit mnoha prostředky, které...
