PIXA, David
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of psychological terror in the work environment and offers a compact view of this widespread social problem. The focus of the empirical research was quantitative survey aimed to discover the approximate dispositions of bullying in Czech workplaces. Data were gathered from a non-random convenience sample (N = 306; F = 66.0%) of anonymous workers through a modified online version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ-R). According to the self-labelling approach, 16.0% of the respondents had been (4.9% regularly; 11.1% occasionally) targets of workplace bullying during the past 6 months. The complementary behavioural method detected that 21.9% (11.4%) of the respondents had been subjected to at least one (two) of the negative acts on a weekly basis. The predominantly experienced negative acts had been work-related. The most prevalent source of workplace bullying was reported to be superiors (73.5%). There was no significant difference between males and females or the public and private sectors.

Mobbing in the Helping Professions.
KRŠIAKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis focuses on mobbing in helping professions - that is bullying among employees. This topic has been already discussed for several years nonetheless the problem apparently remains unsolved. It is a complicated task to determine when an exchange of views or a conflict turns into mobbing. Each individual of course reacts to this situation differently. I think that these days are mentally challenging for all of us, which implies that there is often only a short step for people to turn conflicts into mobbing. Most attention in my thesis is given to professions such as nurses, doctors and workers in centers for people with disabilities. The theoretical part handles with description and recognition of mobbing. I also described the definition of harassment, aggression as socially pathological phenomenon, issues of interpersonal conflict, interpersonal relationships and interactions with others. In the practical part there is a summary of written responses relating to harassment in the helping professions. Respondents were divided into three groups and the results of each were compared to the other groups. The respondents that took part in my research were aware of the fact that the questionnaire is exclusively anonymous. The quantitative research included 23 questionnaires. Of the 150 pieces total were 90 filled in questionnaires returned back, which stands for 60 %. The survey was carried out from 27th February to 18th March 2012. The main aim of my thesis was to determine which one of the helping professions is threatened mobbing the most in České Budějovice. On the basis of the survey, I have come to the conclusion that nurses have the highest incidence of harassment and it is in 63 % of the cases. I expect my project to be used as a background information material that could serve as a help to prevent harassment by people in the helping professions.

NURSING STAFF{\crq}S EXPERIENCE WITH MOBBING AT THE WORKPLACE
KAMASOVÁ, Simona
NURSING STAFF{\crq}S EXPERIENCE WITH MOBBING AT THE WORKPLACE Every kind of abusive conduct at work, such as denigrating behavior, gestures, acts, or words qualifies as a form of violence. The World Health Organization counts violence amongst the world{\crq}s severe public health problems. Unfortunately, mobbing {--} which one of the forms of chicanery {--} is far more common than we tend to acknowledge and the general society is willing to admit. Although this phenomenon applies to all spheres and groups of employees, the most affected sphere is the health care sector. Mobbing creates an unhealthy atmosphere at the workplace and therefore cannot be tolerated or overlooked. Moreover, it has unforeseeable consequences for the victims{\crq} health, as well as on the organization/company and the society. My goal was to do a survey of the knowledge registered nurses have about mobbing at work. With this goal in mind, I formulated the first hypothesis. Nurses are aware of the fact that mobbing as a term is not limited to physical violence alone. They know that mobbing can affect everyone of us and they do not consider its occurrence a negligible problem. Furthermore, I wanted to find out whether nurses have a personal experience with mobbing. This question led to formulation of my second hypothesis. The point was to find out when the nurses experienced or were witness to mobbing. This was linked to my third hypothesis, which presumed that newly hired nurses were the most endangered group in this context. Finally, I wanted to find out whether the nurses knew how to solve the problem of mobbing. In connection with this question, I formulated my fourth hypothesis {--} namely, whether nurses are able to share or participate in measures against mobbing. This undergraduate paper consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part contains descriptions of different forms of violence, the relevant factors and phases, as well as the types and characteristics of mobbers and their victims. Consideration has also been given to the consequences, prevention, and applicable legislation. As for the quantitative aspect of my survey, I used the method of an anonymous questionnaire containing 37 questions. As respondents, I approached the nursing staff in a medical institution in the Vysočina Region. A total of 226 correctly filled-out questionnaires were collected. The results of the survey confirm all four hypotheses. The results generate a challenge that managements of medical institutions ought to give some consideration.
