ŘÍPOVÁ, Tereza
The goal of the bachelor thesis is to describe motivational aspects of volunteers working with the seniors in volunteer organizations in České Budějovice. Theoretical part is devoted to terms as motivation, issues with volunteering and volunteer's motivation. Qualitative research, method of questioning and technique of semi controlled interview was chosen for practical part. For answering research questions, the interviews were realized with two research groups which contained 14 volunteering seniors from Dobrovolnické centrum ADRA České Budějovice or Dobrovolnické centrum Diecézní charita České Budějovice in the age from 15 to 44 for younger generation and 45 and more for older generations. Interview for the research of this thesis contained 11 questions and its goal was to find out motivation of volunteers working with the seniors. After getting needed data, the interviews were written down and then evaluated by open coding, where all data were organised into concrete categories. The result clearly shows that the most important motivational aspect for volunteering is desire to gain new experience. On the other hand, each volunteer has certain combination of many motivational aspects between which correlation exists. There is no valid statement that either younger or older generation has prevailing motivational aspect. Knowledge of volunteers motivation is very important for working with them and the thesis could be helpful for coordinators of volunteers or social workers who co-work with volunteers in given organisations.

RODKOVÁ, Iveta
The thesis deals with a theme of a professionally guided volunteering which is at present a highly developed, professional, modern and fast growing activity. It is focused particularly on barriers to volunteering in the health and social area. In a theoretical part the author gives attention to information important for a comprehensive view on volunteering, she specifies its legislative embodiment. Next, for example, she introduces a division of voluntary activities from different points of view. Subsequently, she gradually moves in thoughts to characteristics of barriers which the volunteering fumbles with and which make impossible to implement it successfully. She clarifies their manifestations and tries to seek possible solutions. The emphasis is put on the barriers which occur on the side of social and healthcare facilities. The aim of the practical research is to refer to the barriers to volunteering in the health and social area and to offer possibilities of their elimination. Therefore the first objective is to chart the most frequent barriers to volunteering from the side of social and healthcare institutions in the Czech Republic. The second objective, partial, connected with the first one, is to chart opportunities how to overcome the barriers at the organizations which use the volunteers. The thesis offers two views of the issue. It analyses its findings at organizations which does not have any volunteers but also at those ones which already use their services. The research was realised by a quantitative form. The data were collected by means of an interviewing method and a technique of a semi-structured interview. They were analysed graphically and statistically. The results show that there are really a lot of barriers which facilities face in the context of the volunteering. Therefore thanks to particular examples from practice the results are bringing some possible ways how to solve the situation in facilities interested in the volunteering.
