Every day, individuals commit acts which are considered immoral, unethical, even criminal, often to gain material advantage. Many people consider cheating on taxes, cheating on tests, claiming false benefits, or avoiding transport fare to be wrong, but they do them anyway. While some of these acts may not be formally illegal, they are, at best, considered morally dubious and is labeled “everyday crime.” Anomie theory holds that individuals make decisions based on socialized values, which separately may be contradictory but together, balances each other out, producing behavior considered “normal” by society. When one holds an imbalanced set of values, decisions made on that set may produce deviant behavior, such as everyday crime. RD theory holds that individuals who perceive their own deprivation, relative to someone else, will feel frustration and injustice, and may attempt to ameliorate that feeling with deviant behavior. Data from the 2006 World Values Survey were analyzed using logistic regression, testing both constructs concurrently. An individual was 1.55 times more likely to justify everyday crime for each calculated unit of anomie; and 1.10 times more likely for each calculated unit of RD. It was concluded from this study that anomie and relative deprivation were both associated with the tendency towards everyday crime.

The thesis deals with the crime of everyday life, i. e. unfair practices committed by individuals who are considered to be "respectable citizens". The aim of the theorical part is to define the phenomenon of everyday crime, to put it into the relevant sociological and criminological context and also to perform quantitative analysis, which will focus on two of the most important factors for prediction of everyday crime - norms and values. The theoretical part, in addition to the basic definitions of the research focuses on the concepts of values (in particular the concept of S. H. Schwartz), and also on the religiosity. Empirical part of the thesis provides the analysis of the everyay crime on the basis of two data files of the Czech population (European Social Survey 2010, Aktér 2011) and verifies the influence of norms and value profiles on the commitment of everyday crime.

(in English) This thesis examines erosive elements (counterproductive behaviour or dishonesty) within the organization culture. The study is based on organization theories and criminology and also on studies on a same or similar topics not only from Czechia but also from foreign researches. The practical part of this study works with data file of Quality of life research (Štohanzlová, 2016), which includes the battery of thirteen erosive elements that were explored. The analysis of the occurrence, tolerance and unacceptability of these elements was conducted. Its context and influence on the perceived frequency of respondent's stress at work environment were analysed too. Connections with erosive elements were tested with basic socio-demographic variables and with sizes of organizations and it was often argued by industries in which respondents work. There were identified differences in an appearance and tolerance of observed phenomena. Based on the analysis was found that relationship problems at workplaces proved to be problematic: The relationship problems have significant influence on a frequency of perceived stress of respondents at work.
