The thesis concentrates on the application of gamificaton principle in the quantitative online research. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the effects of gamification on answers provided by respondents and their overal perception of the questionnaire. The hypotheses, based on the research of theoretical and methodological literature and metaanalysis of already conducted case studies, refers to the most discussed topics concerning gamification: survey evaluation, evaluation of respondent's behavior and the impact on the survey data. The results are validated using the split- ballot method on a carried out quantitative research. As a research tool serve a standard questionnaire and a questionnaire with small gamification adjustments. The results favor the version of questionnaire with gamification in the area of overall perception of the questionnaire and increased time spent on the research by the respondents. However, the results don't show any measurable impact on the respondent's behavior or survey data.

Technology is trying to make life easier for students today. Digitized study materi-als or online courses are just a small example of what modern era enable students. This thesis deals with technological impact on academic dishonesty. It points to the hi-tech sector of the Czech Republic, to the technology market that allows unethical behavior and to the use of these technologies by students. This thesis answers questions about who is a cheating student, how he cheats and what motivates him to do so. These are predominantly students aged 21-23, in the second year full-time study, with good financial situation. Gender or field of studies does not influ-ence the unethical behavior of the student. The thesis outlines recommendations that schools could take to prevent students from academic dishonesty. As unethical behavior begins in schools but should continue in the working environment, the thesis also points to possible solutions for employers who are not interested in unethically acting employees.
