The aim of the thesis is to study and compare flexible forms of work in the Czech Republic and Switzerland from 2005 to 2014. The theoretical part defines basic terms of the labor market, major transformations of the current labor market and labor legislation of the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Comparative and factorial analysis are used in the practical part to analyse basic indicators and flexible forms of work of in the Czech and Swiss labor market. The analysis is then set in the broader context of microeconomic and macroeconomic conditions and educational systems in the Czech Republic and Switzerland. The main differences between Swiss and Czech flexibility of the labor market and the typical worker employed under flexible employment in the Czech Republic and Switzerland are drawn from the performed analysis.

Master thesis is focused on the research and comparing the level of flexibility of labor markets in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Labor market flexibility is an important instrument of economic policy, which increases employment. The aim of this thesis is the analysis of flexible forms of work in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands and comparison of non-standard working contracts in these two countries. The first part contains the explanation of theoretical approaches to labor market flexibility. The second part is a comparative and factorial analysis of Czech and Dutch labor market. During the thesis labor standards in both countries are compared, on the basis of statistical data LFS (Labour Force Servey) is made an evaluation of the level of flexibility of the labor markets in both countries, the quality of flexible working arrangements and the reasons for their use. Recommendations for economic policy of the Czech Republic are proposed on the basis of the obtained results.

The goal of the master thesis is the research and comparison of the flexible forms of work in the Czech Republic and Norway in the 2004 - 2013. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to the changes on the labour markets leading to higher unemployment and insecurities of the labour market. In the practical part are listed the forms of working contracts according to the labour law in the Czech Republic and Norway. The analysis of the Czech and Norwegian labour market has the focus on the flexible forms of work that are compared in terms of flexibility, security, usefulness, effectiveness, quality and the reason for using flexible forms of work. Using methods comparative and factorial analysis is the level of flexibility of the Norwegian labour market evaluated and compared with the level of flexibility of the Czech labour market. Due to the analysis of the micro- and macroeconomics conditions of the Czech Republic and Norway and an interview with Aline Bütikofer from the Norwegian School of Economics are identified the main reasons for the different degree of the flexibility of the labour market in the Czech Republic and Norway.

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...

As I have noticed how different teachers have various ways of organizing their teaching, despite following the same curriculum and having the same mission, a curiosity arose within me to investigate what makes the organization look so different between teachers. Therefore the aim with this report is to examine how teachers interpret the role teachers have in teaching and how this affects their teaching within problem solving in mathematics. To analyse this I have conducted a qualitative interview with ten active teachers who teach or has taught in primary school. The result of the study found that the teaching role is complex and varying, but is generally considered to be of the supervising and follow-up character within the working field of problem solving. The forms of work and the working methods are characterized by active learning where investigation and discussion are in focus. The difficulties are to create functional group dynamics to make the teaching rewarding, but also the higher requirements imposed on teachers´ competency. The positive effects generated by these forms of work and working methods are described as student motivating, but it also enhances discussions, leading to deeper understanding. / Då jag har märkt av att olika lärare har olika sätt att organisera sin undervisning på trots att de följer samma styrdokument och har samma uppdrag, blev jag nyfiken att ta reda på vad det är som gör att organiseringen ser så olika ut mellan lärare. Därför är syftet med denna studie att undersöka hur lärare tolkar den roll läraren har i undervisningen och hur detta påverkar deras undervisning inom problemlösning i matematik. För att undersöka detta har jag genomfört en kvalitativ intervju av tio verksamma lärare som undervisar eller har undervisat i de lägre årskurserna. Resultatet av studien som framkom var att lärarrollen är komplex och varierande, men anses generellt vara av den handledande och uppföljande karaktärsrollen inom arbete med problemlösning. Arbetsformerna och arbetssättet karaktäriseras av aktivt lärande där undersökandet och diskussionen är i fokus. Svårigheterna är att skapa fungerande gruppdynamiker för att göra undervisningen givande, men också de högre kraven som ställs på lärares kompetens. De positiva effekter genererade av dessa arbetsformer och arbetssätt beskrivs som motiverande hos eleverna, men det berikar också diskussioner, som leder till djupare förståelse

The purpose of this report is to examine which working methods and forms of work some teachers for grades 1-3, describes that they use in mathematics teaching, what makes them choose the working methods and forms of work, and if their attitude to mathematics teaching changed in recent years. In order to examine this, qualitative interviews with six teachers have been implemented. It emerged that these teachers partly use a variety of working methods and multiple forms of work in their mathematics teaching even if this differs between different teachers. Their arguments to the choice of working methods and forms of work are that they believe that the chosen working method, or form of work, works based on their own experience and partly because it is timesaving but also that changes in working methods in other topics inspired. All teachers think they have changed their attitude to mathematics teaching in different ways. / Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka vilka arbetssätt och arbetsformer som några lärare i årskurs 1-3 beskriver att de väljer att använda i matematikundervisningen, vad som gör att de valt just dessa arbetssätt och arbetsformer samt om deras inställning till matematikundervisningen förändrats de senaste åren. För att undersöka detta har en kvalitativ intervju med sex lärare genomförts. Det framkom att dessa lärare till viss del använder ett varierat arbetssätt och flera olika arbetsformer i sin matematikundervisning även om det skiljer sig mellan olika lärare. Deras argument till val av arbetssätt och arbetsformer är dels för att de anser att dessa arbetssätt och arbetsformer fungerar, baserat på deras egen erfarenhet, dels för att det är tidsbesparande men även för att ändrade arbetssätt i andra ämnen inspirerat. Samtliga lärare anser att de ändrat inställning till matematikundervisning på olika sätt.

Topic is analyzed in two aspects: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part there are discussed changes in the labour market, flexible forms of employment diversity, the arguments for and against non-standard forms practise, and situation analysis of Lithuania. In the practical part there are proposed the examination results of three target groups - employed, unemployed and students. It was found that the unemployed are linked to accept work under flexible forms, and employed workers are reluctant to change the current working model. Analysed that students want to work 4 hours per day 5 days per week during the studies.

The diploma thesis deals with flexible forms of work in the Czech Republic. After the short introduction of the history and theoretical frameworks, particular types of alternative work forms used in the Czech labour market are presented. Readers are faced with part-time jobs, flexible work hours, home office and other. Special part is dedicated to occupying of part-time workers who are employed in the mode of Contract of Services, which is specific for Czech labour market and is involved in flexible work forms in this text. The great part of this thesis occupies case study, which was held at headquarters of one Czech company and which provides view of function of flexible forms of work on the side of the employer and employees as well. Data analysis offers mainly information coming from perception of alternative working forms by their users, which means employees, but by provider as well. Emphasis is placed primarily on evaluation of motives which lead into implementing and demanding of flexible work forms and also their advantages and disadvantages. Readers can find in analytic part also profiling of group of employees working in alternative working modes. These profiles are built-up from the view of the character of employees positions and from their individual characteristics as well. It is also...

Bakgrund: Att arbeta på distans, antingen helt eller delvis, har fått betydande konsekvenser för organisationer. Till följd av Covid-19 och det ökade distansarbetet har behovet av styrning ökat. Samtidigt har det även uppstått ett ökat behov av förtroende till anställda när de ska utföra sina arbetsuppgifter hemifrån utan tillsyn. Styrning och förtroende är två välstuderade områden, där tidigare forskning studerat uppfattningar av styrning och förtroende samt relationen mellan de båda styridealen. Av tidigare forskning framgår det även att styrning på olika sätt kan förorsaka spänningar. Det har även uppmärksammats hur distans- och hybridarbete påverkar styrning och förtroende. Den nuvarande forskningslitteraturen missar däremot att belysa hur spänningar uppstår och hanteras mellan styrning och förtroende i samband med distanserad arbetsform. Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att skapa förståelse för spänningar mellan styrning och förtroende i en hybridverksamhet genom att belysa hur spänningar uppstår och hur de hanteras i en hybridverksamhet. Metod: Studien har genomförts på chefer och medarbetare på ett företag och utgör därmed en enfallsstudie. För att uppfylla syftet med studien har vi utgått från en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metoden beskriver även hur insamlingen och tolkningen av det empiriska materialet gått till. Slutsats: Sammantaget har vi identifierat en gemensam trigger som framförallt ligger till grund för att spänningar uppstår i det studerade företaget. Studien har resulterat i att spänningar uppstår i situationer, utifrån individers uppfattningar, som är främst relaterade till arbetsformen, det vill säga distansarbetet. Den gemensamma triggern har benämnts som distansering och bidragit med en synvinkel om mer kunskap om hur arbetsformer ger upphov till att spänningar uppstår mellan styrning och förtroende. Den mest framträdande hanteringen av spänningar mellan styrning och förtroende visar vikten av kommunikation för att förhindra eller förmildra konkurrerande relationer mellan styrning och förtroende. / Background: Working remotely, either fully or partially, has had significant implications for organizations. As a result of Covid-19 and the increase of remote work, the need for control has increased. At the same time, there has also been an increased need for trust in employees when they have to perform their tasks from home without supervision. Control and trust are two well-studied areas, where previous research has studied perceptions of control and trust and the relationship between the two ideals. It also appears from previous research that control can cause tensions in different ways. Attention has also been paid to how remote and hybrid work affects control and trust. The current research literature, however, fails to shed light on how tensions arise and are managed between control and trust in connection with remote working. Purpose: This study aims to create an understanding of tensions between control and trust in a hybrid working company by highlighting how tensions arise and how they are managed in a hybrid working company. Method: This study has been carried out on managers and employees of a case company and therefore constitutes a one-case study. In order to fulfill the purpose of the study, we have used a qualitative research strategy and performed semi-structured interviews. The method also describes how the collection and interpretation of the empirical material has been done. Conclusion: All in all, we have identified a common trigger that is primarily the basis for tensions arising in the studied company. This study has resulted in tensions arising in situations, based on individuals' perceptions, which are primarily related to remote work. The common trigger has been named distancing and has contributed more knowledge about how forms of work give rise to tensions between control and trust from a distancing perspective. The most prominent way to manage tensions between trust and control demonstrates the importance of communication to prevent or extenuate competing relationships between control and trust.

66 Abstract - Flexible forms of working hours This diploma thesis deals with the flexible forms of working hours and its goal is to describe this issue in intelligible and comprehensive way. It is being very interesting and current theme which is to a great extent not subject to direct legal regulations and provides its contracting parties with a big amount of freedom of contract. This fact assists in bigger flexibilization of labour market and represents a significant instrument in the fight against unemployment and economic crisis. This thesis is composed of six chapters. Chapter One introduces the term flexible forms of working hours and briefly describes the content of following chapters. Chapter Two delimits the area of labour law in relation to other branches of law and describes law principles relating to labour law. The following Chapter Three deals with legal regulations of working hours, its length, ways of allotment and international legal regulations. Chapter Four represents an introduction to the flexible forms of working hours. The basic methods of division of flexibility in the relation to the labour market are mentioned here as well as flexible forms of work are divided on the basis of typology which is used in this diploma thesis. This chapter is followed by Chapter Five, which is the most...
