Motivational system of a particular company
FÁBEROVÁ, Lenka
The aim of this study was to analyze the current motivational system for employees in terms of multinational company and also to propose steps that would lead to higher employee satisfaction and to improve performance across the enterprise. Information for processing the first - theoretical part - I found from sources available to the theme of employee motivation and stimulation. Information for processing the other - the practical part - I especially gained from the survey on job satisfaction and employee motivation. Based on the results of a survey I have attempted to specify the areas in which employees don´t feel much satisfied and propose possible solutions that could lead to improvement or elimination of these shortcomings. The aim of these proposals is to stimulate employees to greater efficiency and, in any case, these recommendations would not lead to an increase in staff costs without a positive reaction in terms of incrase of work productivity. Based on the investigation I was able to reveal that employees are quite happy at their work. Although there are areas for work satisfaction and motivation that employees identified as unsatisfactory, the positive findings should be included in particular a good working atmosphere, working conditions or interesting job tasks. As the most troubled area was found an ineffective corporate education system. I therefore propose to create a long term view of the business skills and knowledge. It´s necessary to improve communication between managers and employees. Several times employees responded to have a feeling of inadequately supplied information. The current trend in business towards decentralization and delegation of powers to lower levels. Likewise, DuPont should follow this trend with a delegation of powers as well in order to facilitate the work of managers and give them a chance to use a more flexible response of employees in lower positions knowing local market conditions. As a further proposal I would recommend management to focus on improving the career development of staff. Employees claim that they are very satisfied with their job tasks, however they find the possibility of career growth very limited. I see a strong need to develop a model of targeted career plan for each position in the enterprise, both in terms of moving up the hierarchical ladder, as well in terms of development staff competencies. The last proposal relates to the findings of the current state of motivation and job satisfaction of employees in the form of anonymous electronic questionnaires that would be sent out by email to all staff at any positions. Employees participated in survey work at administrative positions, which represent less than half of all employees. For a more detailed evaluation of the analysis would be helpful to have a higher percentage of participation. Nevertheless, I believe that the results obtained in this investigation may be beneficial to the management of DuPont.

We have identified number of possible advices for the Czech Republic to improve its rating for both Heritage Foundation and Fraser Institute Economic Freedom Index, which often leads to top 10 countries in the world. These advices range from cuts in government spending, betterment in judicial system, to the establishing healthier environment for startups and advices to combat corruption. We further noticed some divergence between above mentioned indexes and managed to evaluate those indexes, which showed the simplicity yet usefulness of Heritage EFI and flexibility and sensitivity of the Fraser EFI. Weak sides of the research were noted and ideas for further research were given.

The effect of investment in tertiary education on gross wages in the region Prague
Diessner, Daniel ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The aim of this work is to determine whether and how higher education affects gross wages. The theoretical part focuses on the theory of human capital, especially investment in education. The theory posits that a higher investment in human capital leads to higher yield, higher wages. The validity of this concept will be tested on the group of respondents who entered the labour market at the turn of millennium. Concentration of candidates with tertiary education in this period has risen considerably, which could cause an imbalance in the labour market. The practical part is based on the work of Mincer (1974). I used Mincer Earnings Function as a basis to build regression model. Partial aim is to prove the declining rate of return on investment in tertiary education using Mincer Equation.

Fiscal rules in selected EU countries between 2004-2015: sensible method for consolidation of public finances or fad of politicians?
Veselý, Lukáš ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
The subject of fiscal rules is very topical issue. The rise of public debt in certain developed countries resulted in what is sometimes called "debt crisis". Debt of those countries which is higher than their annual gross domestic product is viewed as unpayable by some economists. The main objective of this thesis has been to prove or disprove hypothesis that the fiscal rules studied in this paper are an effective solution for public finance consolidation. This verification was based on the analysis of fiscal rules functioning in selected countries between 2004 and 2015. As per results of analysis the paper aims to give recommendations for the Czech financial constitution proposal. The actual results of inquiry proved the hypothesis. Well-chosen fiscal rules are the right way towards fiscal consolidation, provided they are observed. Fiscal rules making thus requires an emphasis to be placed on the well-formulated exit clauses altogether with prospective sanctions. The current Czech financial constitution proposal is built on the correctly picked fiscal rule type, although the reference value lacks economic sense and it would not lead, with a high degree of probability, towards fiscal consolidation.
