- Flexible forms of employment This thesis deals with the flexible forms of employment as an alternative to an indefinite term employment with eight-hour working days and as an instrument for increasing employment relationship flexibility. These forms of employment, also called atypical or precarious, are attractive for employees who want to achieve a balance between their professional and personal lives, or for employers who can use these forms of employment as a competitive advantage or as an instrument to solve their economic problems. The thesis is divided into introduction, conclusion and five chapters which are divided into sub-chapters. The first chapter briefly describes the terms and principles which are important for the characterization of flexible forms of employment. The second chapter contains the definition of flexible forms of employment, their enumeration and brief summary of the survey on how czech employers use the flexible forms of employment. The third chapter deals with the flexible forms of employment provided for in the Labour Code. Namely fixed-term contract, agency employment, agreements on work carried out beyond employment, part-time job and homeworking. The next chapter deals with the forms which are not contained in the Labour Code, namely job sharing, compressed...

The thesis deals with the labour market flexibility in the Czech Republic and Germany, in particularly with flexible forms of employment. Analysis and comparison of the legislation of flexible forms of employment in the Czech Republic and Germany was the bottom line of the thesis. New types of flexible forms of employment which are used in Germany's labour market were discussed as well. The research of legislation has shown that there is not such a significant difference between Czech and German labour law, which would be able to rationalize the marked differences in usage of these forms in the Czech Republic and Germany.

The modern globalized world is developing rapidly thanks to communication technologies. This trend brought about the need for new and atypical jobs and flexible forms of work. National legislations are responsible for allowing such flexibility. These new forms of work as well as atypical jobs make it possible to better reconcile personal and working life and lead to increased labour productivity, which is in the interest of both employees and employers. This is closely related to the concept of flexicurity, which represents the effort to strike balance between the flexibility of labour law relations and the protective function of labour law. This balance is the legislator's goal. However, said goal is challenging to achieve, given the opposite interests of employees and employers. This thesis is divided into four main chapters and subsequent subchapters. The introduction is focused on a general introduction to the topic and objectives of this proposal. The first chapter summarizes the concept of flexicurity and European and Czech efforts to achieve it. Then it proceeds to the description of its implementation in Denmark with advantages and disadvantages of the possible use of this model in the Czech Republic. The second chapter focuses on the definition of the key terms: atypical form of...

Flexible forms of employment Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to map the flexible forms of employment currently offered by the Czech legislation as well as those that might possibly become part of the legal system in the Czech Republic. Flexible forms of employment are currently on the rise, and it is therefore relevant to address the possibilities offered by the legislation.

The following paper examines the part-time work in Metropolitan Lima in 2008. The overall objective is to identify the determinants of the incidence of part-time work in Lima. We worked with one Probit econometric model, measured by the National Survey of Households (NSH), which explores the job characteristics of people. This will determine the presence of part-time workers in the areas of trade, health, education and communication; also realized that this group has completed university studies and incomplete, and the woman has a probability of 83,11397% more than men of working part time. / El objetivo de este artículo es identificar los factores determinantes de la incidencia del trabajo a tiempo parcial en Lima Metropolitana en el año 2008. Se trabajó con un modelo econométrico Probit, basado en la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO) del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INEI), que analiza las características laborales de las personas. Con este, se determinó la presencia de los trabajadores a tiempo parcial en los rubros de comercio, salud, educación y comunicaciones; asimismo, se distinguió que dicho colectivo posee estudios universitarios completos e incompletos; y que las mujeres tienen una probabilidad de 83,11397% más que los hombres de laborar a tiempo parcial.

The objective of this thesis on the paid feminized domestic work is to describe the two current forms of employment of the live-inside maids and the live-outside domestic workers of paid domestic work in Lima Peru. The live-inside employment, cama adentro is the traditional form of maids living inside the household, and secondly, the live-outside employment, cama afuera, describes the working woman as an independent worker who lives outside the household. By focusing on the two forms of employment in the 1970s, the 2010s and the 2020s, this study aims to describe the changes on the urban labor market wherein 95% are women and almost 87% have informal employment. The feminized domestic work and the women domestic workers are objects of devaluation and subjects of discrimination. The critical case in this study is to understand the impact of informality and the informal working conditions. Vulnerability and precariousness are concepts frequently used in the current debate and research which describes the feminized remunerated domestic work as a forced labor. Who are the domestic working women, and how do they describe their work and life situation? What are the preferences or the facts of the persisting informality in the domestic labor sector that still have a great impact on the work situation as well as the women’s life situation? By considering women’s right to decent occupation this study also focuses on female empowerment, autonomy, economic independence in the urban domestic sector with influence from the market-oriented labor market in Lima. This case study is grounded in feminist care economy theory and Pierre Bourdieu’s human capital theory.

Arbetsmotivation på en arbetsplats kan kännetecknas av en bra arbetsmiljö, ett ökat ansvarstagande och att chefen och medarbetarna strävar efter att uppnå samma mål. I det moderna arbetslivet har arbetsmarknaden förändrats med ständiga effektiviseringar och slimmade organisationer. En påföljd är att andelen tidsbegränsat anställda har ökat som anställningsform. Syftet med denna studie var att få en utökad kunskap om faktorer som kan påverka arbetsmotivation med betoning på eventuella skillnader i arbetsmotivation mellan olika anställningsformer. Studien genomfördes på fem anläggningar inom bad- och friskvårdsbranschen i södra Sverige och 114 personer, fast- och tidsbegränsat anställda deltog. För att mäta arbetsmotivation utvecklades en skala baserad på QPS-Nordic 34+ (General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychology and Social Factors at work), som avser att mäta psykologiska och sociala faktorer i arbetslivet. Från denna skala valdes sju domäner: arbetskrav, kontroll i arbetet, social interaktion, organisationskultur, ledarskap, engagemang i organisationen, och arbetsmotiv, tillsammans med tre frågor om kön, ålder och arbetsposition. Resultatet visade ingen signifikant skillnad i arbetsmotivation mellan anställningsformer. Däremot sågs en positiv signifikant korrelation mellan ålder och organisationsengagemang, arbetskrav och organisationskultur. Resultaten bekräftar tidigare forskning som visat att äldre är mer motiverade än yngre medarbetare. / Job satisfaction in the workplace can be characterized by a good working environment, increased responsibility and that the manager and the employees strive to achieve the same goal. In modern working life, the job market changed with effectiveness and leaner organizations. A sanction is that the proportion of temporary employees has increased as a form of employment. The purpose of the study was to get an expanded knowledge of the factors that may affect the work satisfaction with the illustration of any differences in motivation between different forms of employments. The study was conducted at five facilities within bath and healthcare organisation in the south of Sweden with 114 persons, permanent and temporary employees. To measure job satisfaction developed a scale based on the QPS Nordic 34+ (General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychology and Social Factors at Work), designed to study psychological and social factors at work. From this scale was seven domains chosen: Job requirement, Control at work, Social interaction, Organizational culture, Leadership, Commitment to the organization, and Job designs, along with three questions about gender, age and working position. The results showed no significant difference in job satisfaction between forms of employment. There was however a positive significant correlation between age and organizational commitment, job requirement and organizational culture.  The results did not show any significant differences in job satisfaction between forms of employment. The results confirm previous research showing that older people are more motivated than younger employees.
