Goal of the theoretical part of this thesis is an overview of approaches to organizational commitment and summary of factors, that have been according to many studies considered to be antecedents of organizational commitment. Following these findings, empirical part of this thesis sets the goal to summarize the results of qualitative and quantitative research which objective was to conduct a survey about extent and type of commitment to the organization and related factors. As research methods were chosen semi-structured interviews, TCM Employee commitment survey and survey examining related factors. Based on correlation analysis positive and negative factors related to organizational commitment were identified. Results also suggests that commitment does not correlate with any of demographic variables except of sex. From variables connected to work of employee for organization only length of employment did significantly correlate with affective commitment. Results of this research provide overall view on the organizational commitment at the branch...

However, there are some legal regulations that more or less affect employee benefits. How specifically is the content...

Termination of the employment relationship by the employer Abstract The dissertation focuses on termination of employment relationship under Act No. 262/2006 Coll., Labour Code of the Czech Republic, namely termination by the employer. It therefore focuses on the notice of termination of the employment relationship, the immediate termination of the employment relationship, the cancellation of employment relationship during the probationary period and the closely related issue of invalidity of the above legal acts. The dissertation is divided into a general part and a special part. The general part (1-3) first gives an overview of the basic features of the applicable legislation on termination of employment relationship by the employer and considers its function (purpose), then offers a brief insight into the legislation regarding termination of the employment relationship by the employer in the Republic of Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Slovak Republic and finally briefly summarizes the starting points of alternative approaches to termination of the employment relationship. The main focus of the dissertation is the special part (4-7), which focuses on the notice of termination, the immediate termination, the cancellation during the probationary period and the invalidity of the above legal...

83 The Limits of subordination of employee during dependant work Abstract An employment relationship is one of a civil law relationships. It differs from other civil law relationships because of its object, i.e. a dependant work and unequal positions of its subjects. At the time of commencement of the employment relationship, an employee becomes subordinate to an employer and the employee obliges to follow the instructions of the employer. The employee spends substantial part of his or her working day in this unequal relationship. Superordinate position of the employer is not absolute. In the history of the Czech labour law, we can see attempts to express this limitation of superordinate position of the employers. For example, the draft of the civil code from 1996 declares that an employee can refuse to perform the instruction of an employer which is not in compliance with the employment contract or the collective agreement and that an employee shall refuse to perform the task which is not in compliance with law. However, the act No. 262/2006 Sb., labour code, only declares that an employee shall perform instructions of an employer if they are made in compliance with law. Such absence of regulation shall not be interpreted in the way that a scope of the superordinate position of the employer is not limited....

Concurrence of the function of a member of a statutory body and an employment relationship in the same corporation Abstract The aim of this work is to comprehensively map the issue of concurrence of a member of a statutory body and an employment relationship in the same business corporation, both in terms of regulatory development and in terms of the most important court decisions concerning concurrence. The purpose is therefore to create an imaginary "timeline" that will reflect the various relevant provisions of the legislation and at the same time bring a selection of the most interesting court decisions. The more practical side of the matter is also not neglected, when the validity of employment contracts, which create concurrence, is analyzed. The first chapter is focused on the basic theoretical background of both the field of labor law and commercial law, which is worked with in other parts of the work and which are important for understanding the whole issue. In the third chapter, I focused on case law, which represents a key role in the issue of concurrence of a member of a statutory body with an employment relationship. A substantial part of this chapter is devoted to the analysis of the Constitutional Court's ruling from 2016, but several decisions of the Supreme Court are also mentioned, whose...

Yes / Prominent writers in industrial relations (IR) have concluded the field is in significant decline, partly because of a failed theory base. The theory problem is deepened because other writers conclude developing a theory foundation for industrial relations is neither possible nor desirable. We believe advancing IR theory is both needed and possible, and take up the challenge in this paper. A long-standing problem in theorizing industrial relations has been the lack of agreement on the field’s core analytical construct. However, in the last two decades writers have increasingly agreed the field is centred on the employment relationship. Another long-standing problem is that writers have theorized industrial relations using different theoretical frames of reference, including pluralist and radical-Marxist; different disciplinary perspectives, such as economics, sociology, history, and politics; and from different national traditions, such as British, French, and American. In this paper, we seek to advance IR theory and better integrate paradigms and national traditions. We do this by developing an analytical explanation for four core features of the employment relationship—generation of an economic surplus, cooperation-conflict dialectic, indeterminate nature of the employment contract, and asymmetric authority and power in the firm—using an integrative mix of ideas and concepts from the pluralist and radical-Marxist streams presented in a multi-part diagram constructed with marginalist tools from conventional economics. The diagram includes central IR system components, such as labour market, hierarchical firm, macro-economy, and nation state government. The model is used to explain the four features of the employment relationship and derive implications for IR theory and practice. Examples include the diagrammatic representation of the size and distribution of the economic surplus, a new analytical representation of labour exploitation, identification of labour supply conditions that encourage, respectively, cooperation versus conflict, and demonstration of how inequality of bargaining power in labour markets contributes to macroeconomic stagnation and unemployment.

Yes / The academic literature widely acknowledges changes and variation in the practices of small firms but only a small amount of empirical work has explored the processes through which HRM practices undergo change. Research has tended, instead, to examine the presence and effectiveness of HRM in small firms and has often viewed this in terms of a deficit model relating such practices to an understanding of HRM derived from larger firms. This chapter focuses on the recruitment and selection and staff payment practices in use in three small services firms to explore the everyday, ongoing detail of their HRM processes and practices. Identifying the different processes through which recruitment and selection and staff payment practices changed in the participant firms provides a base for discussing persistent forms of informality and the lack of stability that reflects the everyday realities of the firms, not only in contrast to their formalized policies but in engagement with them. This chapter advances understanding of selected HRM practices in small services firms after periods of formalization and adoption of HRM policies and practices. The chapter also discusses how developing knowledge of small firms’ HRM practices in this way has implications for researchers and practitioners.

The thesis focuses on the issue of transfer of undertaking as recognized by the Acquired Rights Directive 2001/23/EC under the EU and Czech law. The first chapter "general introduction" offers an overview of the basic relationships that arise in the course of employment, and the basics of European law. The second chapter considers the rules of the transfer of undertaking under the Acquired Rights Directive and in light of ECJ case law. It defines the terms legal transfer and merger, economic entity which retains its identity, employee, transferor and transferee. Further, it considers the transferred rights of employees and the corresponding duties of employers, encompassing the right for information and consultation, protection against dismissal on the grounds of the transfer and the right for the same work conditions after the transfer. It covers a special case of transfer of undertaking in the case of transferor's insolvency. The third chapter deals with the regulation of transfer of undertaking under Czech law. Firstly, the chapter introduces the development of the provisions covering the transfer in the Labour Code. It focuses on the contemporary provisions of the Labour Code. It describes the grounds for the transfer covered by the Labour Code and particular statutes such as the Civil Code,...

Bakgrunden till studien var sjuksköterskebristen i hälso- och sjukvården och det faktum att många arbetsgivare har svårt att rekrytera och behålla sjuksköterskor. Det valda perspektivet var anställningsrelationen och teorin om ”psykologiska kontrakt”; individens uppfattningar om ömsesidiga åtaganden/skyldigheter mellan anställd och arbetsgivare. (Förhands)förväntningar, influerade av signaler/information från organisationer, kan vara en grund till nyanställdas psykologiska kontrakt. I denna studie undersöktes sjuksköterskestudenters förväntningar på ömsesidiga åtaganden i en anställningsrelation, liksom hur de fick information om arbetsgivare/arbetsplatser och varför informationen var viktig. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med 12 sjuksköterskestudenter från en svensk högskola, 11 var sistaårsstudenter. Analysmetoden var fenomenologisk. Två huvudteman för förväntade åtaganden framkom: sjuksköterskeprofessionen och personen. Tema tillit/förtroende framkom för hur studenterna fick viktig information om arbetsgivare/arbetsplatser, kategorierna var: direkta kontakter med organisationer/arbetsgivare, nätverk och media. Resultatet pekade på vikten av ett relationellt förhållningssätt i kompetensförsörjningen, liksom att arbetsgivare särskilt bör uppmärksamma förtroendefrågor och professionella värderingar i kontakter/kommunikation med sjuksköterskestudenter.
