Burnout Syndrome of the Czech Republic Labour Office Workers from Noninsurance Social Benefits Department
MARKOVÁ, Marcela
My thesis deals with the topic of burning out of Department of non-insurance social benefits (DNSB) Labor Office workers in the Czech Republic. We can find a lot of definitions of Burn-out Syndrome in the literature. Some of them are focused on the emotional, mental or physical exhaustion, others interpret the syndrome as a process with certain development. Nevertheless, Burn-out Syndrome is a pack of symptoms including lack of zest and energy, life joy and mainly enthusiasm needed for work. There are various functions of the Labor office CZ: to fulfill tasks in the employment area, protection of employees in case of employer´s insolvency and first of all, to administrate, decide and pay non-insurance social benefits. Social workers and referees who work in DNSB are extremely endangered with Burn-out Syndrome because of their specific work. Their job requires daily talks with clients who do not have only one but various problems and who are unable to solve them by themselves. And these clients usually expect more service than the office workers can provide. The aim of my thesis is to describe the Burn-out Syndrome issue and its appearance in the group of the social workers and referees of the DNSB Labor Office CZ. Partial aim of my thesis is to find out if the workers have information how to precede it and to compare the difference between small and big town workers. Other partial aim is to find out if the workers subjectively suffer exhaustion. Three hypotheses were set up. Workers of DNSB in bigger towns feel subjectively more exhausted than those in smaller ones. Social workers have more information how to precede it than referees. Referees feel subjectively more exhausted than social workers. Flowingly there is a survey question: what do the workers in the DNSB Labor Office CZ know about Burn-out Syndrome? A quantity strategy of survey was set up via using questionnaire. There were 148 DNSB workers in the survey sample who filled in completely and correctly the questionnaire. As a complement strategy a quality data survey was used via questioning method, semi-structured interview. 8 workers from total 249 workers were chosen by random choice to be interviewed - this group forms the second survey sample. Results of quantity survey are presented with descriptive statistics using graphs and charts. The set up hypotheses were tested with statistic method of Chi-squared test. The results show that DNSB workers in bigger cities do not feel more exhausted than those in smaller ones. Social workers of DNSB have more information how to precede it than referees. Referees do not feel more exhausted than social workers of DNSB. For analysis of quality survey, a hand written record was chosen. There were identified three clusters: awareness about Burn-out Syndrome, perception of clients and personal feelings. The results of quality part show that DNSB workers have information about the Syndrome, but the information is incomplete - sometimes even confusing in the sense of focusing on the unimportant peculiarities instead of core causes. Regarding individual answers, most of the workers see the clients and work with the clients as something unpleasant, not entertaining. Moreover, we can imply from the survey a necessity of specialized training about Burn-out Syndrome focused on the workers. Practical anticipated benefit of the thesis is providing study materials to the students of the Health and Social Faculty of the Southern Bohemian University in České Budějovice and providing the materials to the Labor Office CZ.

Non-Insurance Social Benefits as a Form of Support for Foster Families
MAROUSKOVÁ, Martina
Foster care is personal care for a child provided by a third person; it is one of the types of substitute family care that the Czech government funds, manages, brokers and monitors. The purpose of foster care is to provide a child with care in a natural family environment with nurturing relationships. Foster care provides material support for the child and reimbursement for those providing care for the child. The government accepted a legislative reform of foster care, effective January 1, 2013. Major changes included new provisions about the management of foster care services, and adjustment of the levels of government benefits for foster parents. The theoretical section includes a review of foster care characteristics presented in relevant legislation. The main purpose of this bachelor's thesis was to capture perspectives of foster parents on the government subsidies in the form of non-insurance social benefit. In addition, it aspired to clarify foster parents' opinions on the legislative changes of foster benefits. The empirical work was accomplished through a qualitative research strategy. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed through an open coding method. The sample of respondents was selected through purposive sampling from a foster parent register in the regional offices of the Úřad práce ČR in České Budějovice, including offices in Hluboká nad Vltavou and Zliv. The research findings showed that areas of family budgets that were affected by foster care are almost identical with areas, for which non-insurance social benefit are provided. These include expenditures for everyday needs of the foster child, but also increased housing and transportation costs that are part of the provision of foster care. Most of the respondents were satisfied with the level of foster care benefits. The responses, however, differed between the groups of temporary and long-term foster parents. These findings would warrant more attention to the legislative treatment of parental benefits for temporary foster parents and for those who receive a child from temporary foster care. Most of the respondents saw the changes in the level of foster benefits as good. The only exceptions are the perspectives on the level of compensation for caregiver and registered person respondents from both groups provided arguments for and against the set levels of compensation. It would be beneficial to treat foster care compensation as income from dependent employment. Currently, it is not clear for what purposes income from dependent employment is accepted. The findings could highlight additional needs to legislatively clarify and regulate practical issues that appeared after the implementation of the foster care reform.

The goal of each country is saving money during crisis. One of the ways how to reach it is to reform the social system. In the Czech Republic there is now ongoing the Social Reform of non-insurance social benefits. The aim of this thesis was to explore the experience of officers, who works on non-insurance social benefits with the ongoing reform and social changes, what with the link of this reform occurred.On 1st January 2012 there was a merger of pay sites of state social support benefits, personal financial crisis benefits and benefits for people with disabilities.

From the results of the work revealed, that individual officers still perceive in the reform rather disadvantages. Suggestions for improvement from his point of view doesn't have a range or they are only a small range. The biggest problem, what I see in the changes in the software, then in the creation and destruction subsequent of S-Card. Using of this card people should pay all non-insurance social benefits, in the future security and retirement benefits. Work have to feedback to the partial reform measures implemented in the context of payment non-insurance social benefits and can stimulate discussion on possible subsequent modifications.
