Hruzová, Dominika
This Bachelor thesis processes the issue of motivation of volunteers at the non-profit organization Home-Start. It aims to identify key motivating factors that affect volunteers to carry out voluntary activities. In the sub-objectives, the work is dedicated to identifying internal and external motivating factors and, last but not least, identifies which of these factors have the greatest share of long-term exposure to the selected non-profit organisation. The work is made up of two parts. In the first part I defined theoretical background using professional sources, which is important to clarify and understand the empirical part of the thesis. The theoretical part defines the issue of volunteering, describes the sector of non-profit organizations, it is also devoted to psychological motivation, motivational factors and specifies the motivation for volunteering. In the empirical part, quantitative research is processed using a questionnaire – Volunteer Functions Inventory, which examines the level of individual motivating factors to fulfill the main goal of the Bachelor thesis.

The present thesis focuses on the development of volunteerism as a part of the professionalization of a nonprofit organization. Case study took place in the organization Pestrá společnost, which is dedicated to the training of assistance dogs and provides social services to the owners of assistance dogs. The organization uses volunteers regularly and on long-term basis.

The theoretical part focuses on the professionalisation of management of volunteering through the selection and training of volunteers with regard to their motivation.

Šimková, Romana ; Probstová, Václava (advisor) ; Stuchlík, Jan (referee)
The volunteering is an indespensable phenomenon not just worldwide but also in the Czech Republic, especially in recent years. It has lost its negative reputation acquired in the socialist era and it is continously getting more respect and credit in the eyes of society. It is not just the youth or students, who decide to dedicate their time to the others. The volunteering is effectuated in many areas, the projects focus on different problems or support various target groups. This thesis treats of volunteering in the area of mental health support and presents organisations, which help clients with long-term mental illness and which cooperate with volunteers. Who are the people who volunteer in this area and what is their motivation to work with clients? Because of the fact that the projects are mostly unique, it is interesting to find out, how the organisations recruit the volunteers and what the main motivation reasons for volunteers are. The target of this survey, on which volunteers of 3 different organisations participated, was to find out what reasons for volunteering they had, what encouraged them and what support they expected from the volunteering program of the organisation. Key words: volunteering, volunteer, people with long-term mental illness, motivation of volunteers

Volunteering in the hospice
WEGEROVÁ, Lenka
The bachelor thesis deals with a theme of {\clqq}Volunteering in a hospice``. Currently we much more often meet volunteers and a volunteering. The volunteering is extremely important in the area of the health care, as people meet the volunteers and they can help them to overcome difficult life situations. It is very important even for the people who are seriously ill to feel a sense of their own meaning and they should know that they are needed and somebody cares for them. At people seriously ill or dying it is very important to maintain their quality of life. One way how to achieve it, is a presence of the volunteers in a hospice and their individual approach to each client. Suitably chosen activities, which the volunteer and the client perform together, also ensure that the clients do not feel alone and they feel useful. The main objective of the thesis is to describe the volunteering, volunteers´ activities, their motivation and contents of the volunteer´s activity in the hospice. A partial goal is to map benefits of the volunteering in the hospice in terms of staff and clients. I used a qualitative research, an interrogation method with a technique of a semi-controlled interview. The interviews were conducted with 15 hospice workers and with its 6 clients. This research was performed in the Hospice of St. Jan N. Neumann in Prachatice. I believe that the objectives of the bachelor thesis ``Volunteering in a hospice{\crqq} were met. The research showed that the hospice volunteers are a great asset for the hospice clients and the staff. It also showed that the clients are very happy when the volunteers visit them. The volunteers help them to forget their misery, they reduce their feeling of boredom, the clients feel a sense of their own meaning and that they are still important for someone. The workers of the Hospice of St. Jan N. Neumann in Prachatice see the great benefits of the volunteering. They are very glad that the volunteers visit their clients, because they attend to them and positively influence the client´s mood. Thanks to the volunteers the staff can care, due to the large amount of work, for other clients as well.The bachelor thesis can be used to expand an awareness of the volunteering in hospices. It also can be used as a feedback for the given establishment.
