As the title of the thesis indicates, I addressed the number of the staff and their qualification representation at the individual departments of the hospital in Písek. I cooperated with head nurses as well as other nursing staff in the hospital and acquired information from them. The first hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at standard surgical departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was not confirmed as the average number of staff at surgical departments was higher than the methodology states. The second hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at standard internal departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. The number of staff at internal departments was also higher than the recommendations of the method; neurology was the only department where the number of staff was lower than recommended. The second hypothesis also was not confirmed. The third hypothesis was that the number of the nursing staff work load at nursing beds corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. The number of the staff at nursing beds was higher than recommended by the method. This hypothesis was not confirmed. The fourth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of the nursing staff at standard surgical departments corresponds with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was not confirmed. The fifth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of the nursing staff at standard internal departments does not correspond with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method. This hypothesis was confirmed. The last, sixth hypothesis was that the qualification representation of nursing staff at nursing beds does not correspond with the recommendations of Karla Pochylá{\crq}s method and this hypothesis was also confirmed. I believe that the thesis can be used in practice as a template and groundwork for determining the correct number and qualification representation of nursing staff at various medical facilities.

The main goal of my diploma work is to analyse methods of staff recruitment in the company. Recruitment of staff is one of the key activities in a company. It is a process that deals with candidate´s competence, whether he will be able to perform a work at the given position according to specified criteria. There are a lot of methods of staff selection. The most widely used of them is an interview, an assessment centre, aptitude tests and a questionnaire. In the first part of my diploma work I deal with basic characteristics of staff recruitment and selection, methods of staff selection, especially with the interview, assessment centre and aptitude tests. In the second part of my diploma work I describe the system of staff selection in the unnamed company that offers audit, tax and advisory services, and analyse staff recruitment and selection there. On the basis of gained information I created SWOT analyse that defines strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in a company.

This work analyses processes in a staff policy from the recruitment phase thru training and development up to employee retention. The output of this work is a proposal of personnel policy and a detailed description of specific measures applicable in the company in real time resulting problems in human resource management.

Performance analysis, based on operant analysis of behavior, has been utilized since the 1960s to investigate behavioral skills or deficits in the workplace. One type of analytical tool is Carr et al.'s Performance Diagnostic Checklist- Human Services (PDC-HS). This functional assessment allows investigators to pinpoint causes of performance issues (e.g., a training issue, task clarification/prompting, insufficient resources/materials/processes, or performance consequences/effort/competition). Typically, the PDC-HS is used with clinicians and therapists. The purpose of this study is to extend Carr et al. by evaluating the PDC-HS in assessing the clinical performance of graduate-level research assistants working at a specialized clinic for the assessment and treatment of severe behavior disorders. For each participant, three supervisors, the study investigator and the participants themselves completed the PDC-HS with respect to the performance concern. Results of the PDCH-HS showed variability in congruence across the three groups of respondents. Due to the occurrence of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic during the study's investigation, the project was modified to assess different clinical performance involving safety procedures. The PDC-HS was re-administered to assess participants' cleanliness behavior and a subsequent targeted intervention was designed. Results showed no improvement of performance for 4/4 participants in the nontargeted intervention for clinic session performance and an increase for 1 participant in the targeted intervention for the cleanliness performance. Implications of PDC-HS results and limitations are discussed.

Yes / The study extends customer-led co-creation research to the related staff-led value co-creation domain. In particular, the purpose of the study is to investigate the role of staff engagement as a facilitator of staff-led value co-creation. Design/methodology/approach: A new conceptual framework develops a model of staff-led value-creation, using three types of staff-led co-creation. A quantitative approach is used. Survey collection yielded a sample of 1165 employees in an Australian not-for-profit context across nineteen organizations. AMOS SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) analyzes the data. Findings: A major finding is the nexus between staff engagement and staff-led value co-creation. The nexus applies for three types of staff-led co-creation and three staff categories. Different explanatory mechanisms apply to each type of staff-led value co-creation. Research Limitations/implications: The not-for-profit context may not generalize to the for-profit sector, but future research could clarify this matter. Practical implications: The results can inform organizations wishing to create greater service contributions through greater staff participation, which can include a staff-initiating (staff-led) role. Different value co-creation targets require different corporate triggers, reflecting the different explanatory mechanisms of each co-creation type. Social Implications: The not-for-profit context provides major social implications. Originality/value: The emphasis on staff-led value co-creation augments the customer-led co-creation literature. Additionally, exploring the (staff) engagement to (staff) value co-creation nexus is a novel contribution.

Yes / Quality of residential care for people with severe dementia is in urgent need of improvement. One reason for this may be the assumption that people with severe dementia are unaware of what is happening to them. However, there is converging evidence to suggest that global assumptions of unawareness are inappropriate. This trial platform study aims to assist care staff in perceiving and responding to subtle signs of awareness and thus enhance their practice. Methods/Design: In Stage One, a measure of awareness in severe dementia will be developed. Two focus groups and an expert panel will contribute to item and scale development. In Stage Two observational data will be used to further develop the measure. Working in four care homes, we will recruit 40 individuals with severe dementia who have no, or very limited, verbal communication. Data on inter-rater reliability and frequency of all items and exploratory factor analysis will be used to identify items to be retained. Test-retest and inter-rater reliability for the new measure will be calculated. Correlations with scores for well-being and behaviour and with proxy ratings of quality of life will provide an indication of concurrent validity. In Stage Three the new measure will be used in a single blind cluster randomised trial. Eight care homes will participate, with 10 residents recruited in each giving a total sample of 80 people with severe dementia. Homes will be randomised to intervention or usual care conditions. In the intervention condition, staff will receive training in using the new measure and will undertake observations of designated residents. For residents with dementia, outcomes will be assessed in terms of change from baseline in scores for behaviour, well-being and quality of life. For care staff, outcomes will be assessed in terms of change from baseline in scores for attitudes, care practice, and well-being. Discussion: The results will inform the design of a larger-scale trial intended to provide definitive evidence about the benefits of increasing the sensitivity of care staff to signs of awareness in residents with severe dementia.

Consent for the research study was obtained from the divisional executive of the financial services division being researched and all ethical factors were clarified. All potential participants were engaged in a divisional communication session where participation was advised to be voluntary and anonymity and confidentiality was assured. The results of the study revealed that there was no statically significant relationship between intention to quit and organisational commitment but a statically significant relationship between organisational commitment and age, tenure, marital status and staff with dependants respectively were revealed. Further to that, a statistically significant relationship between intention to quit and age, tenure, marital status was also revealed. Therefore, based on the understanding gained, and the relationship it had with respect to the biographical factors used in the study, it presents organisations with the insight and opportunity to better retain staff. Clear understandings of the limitations of the findings presented are also discussed and additional recommendations for future research are also provided.
