BOŘÍKOVÁ, Dana
The aim of the thesis is to analyze the influence of organizational culture on the provision of social services. The work deals with the description of organizational culture of the selected model. As an example of a non-governmental non-profit organization, I chose the ecclesiastical legal entity Diocesan Caritas Pilsen. The inspiration for me was the model of author Beata Hofmann and her comparison of organizational culture to the image of water lily. I have added this model to the author Edgar Schein, which has three layers - the highest are artefacts, middle values and norms and the lowest basic beliefs. For processing I used the method of participant observation and informal interviews with DCHP staff and further analysis of available documentation of the organization.

Changing Attitudes towards Human Rights in Europe: Perceptions of Czech Non-Profit Organisations
Libová, Anna ; Císař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Blokker, Paulus Albertus (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the identification and the analysis of the changes in society which lead to questioning the basic principles of human rights from the point of view of Czech non-profit organisations. In this study, it is important to divide the definition of human rights into their legal aspect, i.e. as rights of people, and their institutional aspect, i.e. as the moral imperative of equality and liberty. The latter is the main objective of this study, and is in this thesis labelled as the human rights. While the legal aspect of human rights is hard to change and to challenge, the institution of human rights is confronted by both the politics and the public. Because of their unique position between the political and the public spheres, non-profit organisations who advocate the human rights were chosen as the research sample. The dimensions of the researched phenomenon are divided into decreasing political influence of countries promoting the human rights, and increasing distrust in the legitimacy of the human rights. Findings from the research uncover the unequal intensity of the potential reasons of the changing attitudes towards the institution of human rights, and we can identify the political sphere as the creator of the boundaries in which the public reacts. As a result, this...

For this comparison was used analysis of interviews with non-profit organizations workers. The results of the comparison were in the end linked with the theoretical starting points of the work - the causes of youth criminality. It has been found that the non-profit organizations , which have been compared, consider as the most important factor the influence of the family. The identified problems of non-profit organizations include financial aspects, insufficient evaluation of the efficiency of organizations and in some cases also the lack of cooperation.

Comparison of Organizational Culture in Public, Comercial and Nonprofit Service Providers
Boháčková, Markéta ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (referee)
This Diploma Thesis focuses on comparison of organisational culture in state-controlled, commercial and non-profit organisations in the area of pre-school education. It is based on the Competing Values Framework developed by Cameron and Quinn, according to whom there are four types of organisational culture. The goal of this Thesis is to identify and describe the culture types in organisations in the above-mentioned three sectors, and to subsequently compare these types so that their similarities and differences can be revealed. The chosen method of research is a case study; the data was collected by a questionnaire survey among employees and by analysis of documents used in the organisations. My research has indicated that the organisational culture in the three sectors is similar in certain elements, but different in others. An established similarity is the presence of the clan culture, which is a friendly and informal working environment. Regarding the differences, the culture is more bureaucratic and hierarchic in a state-controlled organisation, while more dynamic and focused on innovations in commercial and non-profit ones.
