The objective of my work is to survey what kinds of social work tools motivate, from the view of a social worker, an involuntary client to change his/her current situation and start working with a social worker. In the theoretical part of my diploma work I first deal with general topics, I focus on the typology of clients and relation and communication with clients. Within the section that is dedicated to the involuntary client solely I deal with the characteristics of such a client and ethical dilemmas in respect of the relation to this client. Furthermore, I present some recommendations for work with an involuntary client and I concentrate more on motivating the client. The chapter that deals with specific features of social work with addictive substances users, as one of the groups of involuntary clients, forms an extensive part of the theoretical part. In order to achieve the set objective, I have chosen a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The data have been collected by means of anonymous questionnaires and non-standardized dialogues with 144 social workers in the Vysočina Region. Within the research I study the experience of social workers with work with involuntary clientele, further I focus on methods and techniques used at work with involuntary clients and on theoretical bases of this work as well. The survey also aims to determine the diversity in the approach of social workers in respect of voluntary and involuntary clientele. Following the evaluation of the survey outputs it can be said that a majority of social workers meet involuntary clients at their work. However, not all the workers consider the use of a specific approach to such clients important. A possible improvement in this respect may, in my opinion, be brought by educational courses that focus on the issues of involuntary clientele. Supervision plays an irreplaceable role here, too. The results of my diploma work may be used for the needs of further research, teaching and in order to enhance the knowledge of the issues of involuntary clientele.

This thesis aims to study factors that prods teachers to leave their profession or on the contrary to continue in their work. The theoretical part deals with the teachers? motivation for work, the issue of professional development and the professional identity of pedagogues. To understand the factors that influence the motivation of teachers I used two methods: a structured interview and a questionnaire. The practical part of the thesis then includes the evaluation of data obtained through the above-mentioned survey. The study was conducted in the Pilsen Region. Total of 28 teachers currently working in this profession filled out the questionnaires and were then also interviewed. 28 former teachers agreed to participate in the interviews and 26 persons also completed the questionnaire. Based on the information I gathered I can conclude that teachers are motivated for the most part by the creative work with children which allows them to fulfill their own freedom and creativity. Ample free time appears to be another important factor that encourages teachers to continue in their line of work. On the other hand, teachers most frequently leave their profession due to the low salary and considerable psychological strain.
