Determinants of pro-environmental behavior among students
Kopecká, Lucie
This thesis deals with determinants of pro-environmental behaviour among students and graduates of Czech universities. According to many scientists from all over the world, humanity must change its behaviour towards the environment otherwise it may face catastrophic consequences of global warming. Unfriendly environmental behaviour is a significant contributor to climate change. On the basis of research on determinants of pro-environmental behaviour, it should be possible to identify which factors positively influence pro-environmental behaviour. Ultimately, it should be possible to establish methods that could encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. The primary aim of this thesis is to identify how selected determinants influence the pro-environmental behaviour of Czech university students and graduates. Based on these findings, recommendations for companies should be formulated in order to increase the pro-environmental behaviour of Czech university students and graduates. The secondary objective of this thesis is to determine whether business CSR activities influence students' job-seeking decisions and to establish recommendations for companies. This thesis first explains the theoretical background of pro-environmental behaviour and its determinants. The findings from this section are then applied in the practical part of this thesis, which involves the evaluation of a questionnaire survey with 232 valid respondents. The aim of this thesis was achieved by examining self-determination theory and social interaction theory concerning pro-environmental behaviour. Recommendations for businesses were developed to increase pro-environmental behaviour of students and graduates. Finally, areas and activities of corporate social responsibility were found, which influence the decision-making of the research subjects in their choice of employer. These results provide the basis for establishing recommendations for companies to increase their attractiveness in the labour market.

KYSELOVÁ, Jitka
The bachelor thesis presents two lifestyles/philosophies - voluntary simplicity and veganism. The aim of the research part was to find out whether people, who consider themselves vegans and agree with vegan philosophy, know the term of voluntary simplicity and whether their lifestyle is in accordance with the selected characteristics of this concept. A survey had been conducted and the results showed that one third of the vegans is familiar with the term of voluntary simplicity. However, most of the vegans are aware of its characteristics (values and attitudes). In addition, a majority of vegans find their lifestyle more modest in comparison with other people. Two thirds of vegans act pro-environmentally in their everyday life. Also, vegans are frequently involved in voluntary organizations and they often take disadvantaged groups into consideration.
