Volunteer management system in nursing homes
ŠTEIEROVÁ, Michaela
Volunteering is an integral part of human life. Voluntary activity can be defined as an independent activity carried out for the benefit of others without the right to a financial reward. The social area is one of the most needed areas in which volunteers can carry out their activities. This thesis deals with the management system of volunteers in homes for the elderly. The main goal of this work was to analyze the management of volunteers in homes for the elderly and their cooperation with other subjects. Qualitative research was chosen to achieve the goals of the thesis. The interviewing method was chosen as the method of data collection, which took place with individual informants using semi-structured interviews. The data was processed using the grounded theory technique and graphically represented in the software program ATLAS.ti, which complement the diploma thesis. On the basis of the research, it was found that the volunteer management system that nursing homes provide in cooperation with volunteer centers is managed more efficiently than in cases where nursing homes provide it themselves. Above all, the wide range of services provided results in long-term involvement of volunteers in homes for the elderly. This fact brings for the facilities themselves an increase in the quality of life of their clients. The results of my work can be useful especially for volunteer centers and homes for the elderly. They can be of benefit to the public as an insight into this current and very important area. I believe that the results themselves can also be useful for social service providers in the South Bohemian Region, as the work is mainly focused on this region, and is supplemented by the statements of the workers of homes for the elderly in this region about what information they have about the volunteer management system.

After getting needed data, the interviews were written down and then evaluated by open coding, where all data were organised into concrete categories.

The Types of Volunteers in the Volunteer Centre
KOLPASKÁ, Kateřina
Anyone who wants to dedicate his or her time, energy, knowledge or abilities in favour of other people or society can become a volunteer. There is wide range of services and tasks where a volunteer can be used. The volunteer{\crq}s activities are conveyed and coordinated by a volunteer centre. The mission of a volunteer centre is the promotion and support of the voluntary work in the society. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on the explanation of the basic terms, history and the types of voluntary work. The Czech Voluntary Work Act (zákon o dobrovolnické službě {--} Law No. 198/2002 Sb.) which defines the terms as volunteer, voluntary work, structures organizations, that deals with the acreditations of volunteer centres, is also mentioned. This thesis is further dedicated to the types of volunteers from the aspect of motivation, social rank and values. It consideres the volunteer centre in general, the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU and the chosen volunteer programmes of ZSF. The objective of this thesis is the qualitative mapping of criteria (motivation, values and social rank) which influence the volunteer who enters the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU in České Budějovice. The questioning method and questionnaire technique has been used for the quantitative reasearch. The monitored group was formed by volunteers from the volunteer programmes of the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU. Based upon the monitoring of this data, it is obvious that from the aspect of social rank, female students from the Faculty of Health and Social Studies are the ones who most often become volunteers in the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU. It has been further discovered that the volunteers in the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU profess non-material values (such as love, friendship, education, hobbies and interests) and, as the main motivation that these volonteers have considered are: to help other people and to also gain new experiences and skills. The results of my Bachelor`s thesis could serve as information material for the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU or similar university volunteer centres.
