The accompanying organisations established by the various churches, such as Charity of the Czech Republic, have their own specific system of values and specific managerial aims. They, however, employ people regardless of their religious practice or their being or not being a member of a church or religious societies. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain whether a system of ethical values, namely the DekaCert system, is a suitable tool to enhance the feeling of freedom and the level of loyalty of the non-practising Christian Charity employees. The thesis thus tries to answer the question whether training in the DekaCert system and its practical use helps these employees to identify themselves with the Charity and at the same time to achieve the second managerial aim of Charity, which is to fulfil the commitment to the church. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter describes the specifics of leading a Charity; it explains the notions of freedom and loyalty. The second chapter focuses on the core of ethical values and the DekaCert system. The third chapter is experimental and it tries to ascertain the influence of DekaCert system on the feeling of freedom and the level of loyalty of non-practising Christian employees in Charities. The main research method was a qualitative...

The thesis analyses the motives of charity and its various forms in the present society. It builds on the critical theory of "studying up", formulated by Laura Nader in 1970s. It considers the difficulties of ethnographic research in an unequal-power terrain, where the anthropologist finds himself in an unwelcome position. Based on a one-year long research of Rotary clubs, the thesis examines the question of whether the charity is a pure act of altruism, following of self-interest, or a combination of both. Charity has lost its significance from its original Christian form over time. Today, it takes the form of a successful marketing tool. For someone it may mean caring for the disadvantaged, for another a simple tool to ease his conscience; for others a convenient pretext for the setting up of a private club. Charity in some respect replaced the Christian confession and like other commodities in the neoliberal system is consumed without creating a long-term relation between the donor and the donee. Rotary International is a worldwide network of private clubs, among its members are leaders in the financial sector, health care, public administration, journalism and science and research. One can therefore examine the Rotary club from an anthropological point of view of emerging capitalism in the...

The diploma thesis deals with an analysis of a concept of a value on the basis of the selected literature. It tries to point out a connection of ethical theories with a practical human behaviour. It has been structured from an explanation of key concepts as ethics, morality, manners; it examines a word of the value and fundamental philosophical theories which are associated with values. In detail it analyses the values in terms of so called philosophy of the material and formal subjectivism. It focuses on representatives of the phenomenology - Max Scheler, Nikolai Hartmann and Dietrich von Hildebrand. It specifies approaches to the values as well as in terms of a human personality, especially from a perspective of the analytical psychology. The thesis shows an importance of the values in the practical application - in the professional ethics of social work, where ethical codes provide an orientation for employees. Caritas Czech Republic was chosen as a model organization. That is also why a theological perspective on the values has been mentioned and basic values and principles of the Code of Caritas Czech Republic as well. This study should be a stimulus for a further exploration of the concept of the value and its significance for human beings. It considers the values to be a fundamental motivation that will lead mankind to a good behaviour (virtues) in the future.
