Čechurová, Helena ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Moree, Dana (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on the commercialization of civil society organizations (CSOs), specifically the institutional isomorphism that makes CSOs "business like" as well as the relationship between CSOs and the commercial sector in the context of commercialization. The purpose of this thesis is to gain an understanding of the manager's perspectives representing CSOs in the field of elderly care in the Czech Republic, with a particular emphasis on the institutional isomorphism and the relationships mentioned above. The findings of the study were obtained from narrative and semi-structured interviews with seven selected managers in the field of elderly care in the Czech Republic. The findings indicate that the participants regard the institutional isomorphism (coercive) as unfair and meaningless; patchy and outdated. The examination of the level of relationships between CSOs and the commercial sector resulted in the Relationships Typology. The typology presents three foundations based on need, reputation, and crisis that have been identified as the foundations for developing relationships between CSOs and the commercial sector. Each foundation conceals the unique nature of relationships visible in commercialized CSOs as reflected by selected managers. Key words: business-like, hybridization,...

Hlavatá, Aneta ; Vránová, Miriam (advisor) ; Legnerová, Kateřina (referee)
New civil society organizations are those that are most often commercialized. Salamon (2005) discusses commercialization when organizations are motivated to offer services and products exclusively for profit. He presents commercialization as the penetration of market principles, culture and thinking into the non-profit sector. This phenomenon at NGOs serves the purpose of gaining financial independence and legitimization. On the other hand, the Center for Public Opinion Research (2019) published a report in which it was found that NGOs find themselves at the bottom places in a survey of credibility in selected institutions. The diploma thesis aimed to determine how NGOs should successfully communicate their activity to stakeholders to strengthen external credibility and gain financial independence and corporate culture. The research included techniques such as questionnaire survey, non- intrusive techniques and semi-structured interviews. The results have shown that the role of communication strategy is significant in the selected NGO. The NGO develops and evaluates the strategy annually and includes its entire organizational team. The results also drew attention to elements of commercialization in the organization. The processes in the selected NGO are to build a good name in society, which could...

Urbanová, Adéla ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (referee)
This diploma thesis presents the conclusions of a qualitative research that dealt with the civic engagement of female founders of private shelters for dogs and cats. The topic is grasped on the basis of the theory of social movements and with the help of models bridging the opposition of volunteerism and activism. At the same time, the interpretation of the results of the thematic analysis relies on the concept of zoopolis, which presents citizenship as a category applicable to human-animal relations. The founders of private shelters approach the animals in their care as unmistakable individuals, beings with personhood and actors who can be and are invited to participate in decisions affecting their lives.
