The thesis deals with the Russian non-profit sector and the state restrictive policy directed towards it. Using a multi-case study, thesis examines the impact of the Foreign Agents Act on Civil Society organizations. At the introduction are identified two questions that thesis is dealing with. The first question was, what practical impacts the Foreign Agents Act had on non-profit organizations. For their identification was developed a typology, which included five types of consequences: bureaucratic burden, financial difficulties, public relations deterioration, access to public institutions and general pressure. This typology was applied to three case studies of non-profit organizations. The thesis concludes that these types are valid except for the deterioration of the relationship with the public sphere, which has not been proven. The second question was how this Law fits into the context of state strategies towards civil society between 2012 and 2017. The thesis comes with the assertion that this Act was the key legislation followed by subsequent Laws, that leads to division of the civil sector to several groups.

Moralisk stress är ett fenomen som kan uppstå när det sker ett moraliskt dilemma på grund avatt organisatoriska ramförutsättningar kolliderar med yrkesutövarens personliga värderingar.Tidigare forskning visar att fenomenet påverkar socialarbetare negativt genom varierandesymtom. Däremot råder det en kunskapslucka gällande återfinnandet av fenomenet hosutövare av socialt arbete inom den ideella sektorn. Syftet med studien är att undersöka omoch i så fall i vilka avseenden utförare av socialt arbete inom den ideella sektorn erfararmoralisk stress, genom att jämföra fenomenets närvaro i både Sverige och Tanzania.Fenomenet har undersökts med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre olikafrivilligorganisationer i respektive land och har sedan analyserats med hjälp av tematiskanalys. Resultaten visar både likheter och skillnader vid förekomsten av moralisk stress. Bådaländer står inför organisatoriska hinder och riskfaktorer som orsakar moralisk stress sombegränsad beslutsrätt och personalbrist. Det framkommer också skillnader som kan förklarasutifrån den samhälleliga kontexten och dess förutsättningar som klientmotstånd och motståndfrån tillhörande community. En central skyddsfaktor för båda länderna är kollegialt stöd inomarbetsplatsen som både kan motverka och åtgärda upplevelsen av fenomenet. / Moral distress is a phenomenon that can occur when a moral dilemma presents itself becauseof a collision between institutional limitations and personal values. Research shows that thephenomenon has a negative effect on social workers through various symptoms. However,there is a gap within the knowledge of the occurrence of the phenomenon among practitionersof social work within the nonprofit sector. The aim of this study is to examine if and in whatway moral distress occurs among practitioners of social work in the nonprofit sector and tomake a comparison between two different cultures through examining the phenomenon inboth Sweden and Tanzania. To examine the phenomenon, semi structured interviews havebeen conducted with three different organizations in each country which have later on beenanalyzed thematically. The results show both differences and similarities regarding theoccurrence of moral distress. Both countries face institutional limitations and risk factorssuch as, limited right of decision and shortage of staff, that can cause moral distress. Beyondthis there are also differences that can be explained by the cultural context and its conditionssuch as resistance from the client and its community. A distinguished similarity in bothcountries is the available peer support within the organization that seems to both prevent andremedy the experience of the moral distress.

Nonprofit sector is regarded to be ever more significant part of a democratic society. Within the European context it is seen as a partner of public and commercial sectors also in relation to the development of specific regions. On the level of local action groups, which apply the LEADER methodology, it is directly defined as an inseparable partner of regional cooperation and development. The aim of the thesis is a detailed survey of nonprofit sector in the area of Local action group NAD ORLICÍ. Additionally, it focuses on analyzing the potential of nonprofit sector for the following development of the region. Several researches were conducted in order to collect as much data as possible. Analyses of publicly accessible databases and information sources as well as of records acquired from the respective specialized institutions were performed. Simultaneously, independent questionnaire surveys were carried out, focusing on representatives of local authorities and representatives of non-governmental non-profit organizations. Both researches were mainly quantitative, having covered also some aspects of activities and cooperation between the non-governmental non-profit organizations and public sector by use of a simple qualitative analysis. Additionally, the obtained data combined with publicly accessible...

Public Service Motivation (PSM), als ein Konzept des öffentlichen Sektors, beruht auf der Annahme bestimmter Motive, die charakteristisch für öffentlich Bedienstete sind. Mit dem Versuch dieses Konstrukt auf den Nonprofit-Sektor zu übertragen, wird das Ziel verfolgt ein tieferes Verständnis für die Motivation der Beschäftigten zu erlangen und die dazu existierenden, eher geringen Befunde der PSM-Forschung um ein qualitatives Vorgehen zu erweitern. Die vorliegende Arbeit bereitet hierfür zunächst den theoretischen Hintergrund der PSM auf und nimmt Bezug zu der von Perry (1996) weiterentwickelten Theorie der PSM. Im anschließenden empirischen Teil werden in einer Fallstudie verschiedene Anstellungsformen sowie Tätigkeitsbereiche der Nonprofit-Organisation „Deutsches Rotes Kreuz“ untersucht. Anhand der ermittelten Ergebnisse kann dabei die Existenz der PSM nachgewiesen werden. Nicht zuletzt werden durch die Wahl eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse bezüglich der untersuchten Einflussfaktoren gewonnen. Es kann festgehalten werden, dass sich Haupt- und Ehrenamtliche in Ihrer PSM nicht gravierend unterscheiden. Hingegen die PSM zwischen Arbeitern der Verwaltungs- und Arbeitern der Street-Level-Ebene hinsichtlich ihrer Ausprägung von einander abweicht. Darüber hinaus liefert die Arbeit erste Erklärungsversuche und geht dabei unter anderem auf die Theorie der extrinsischen und intrinsischen Motivation, sowie auf die Selbstbestimmungstheorie ein. / Public Service Motivation (PSM) as a concept for the public sector is based on certain motives which are typical for public employees. The goal in attempting to transfer this construct to the nonprofit sector is to get a better understanding of motivation of employees and to extend the existing, somewhat scant findings in PSM research using a qualitative approach. This paper begins by presenting the theoretical background of PSM and refers to the developed theory of PSM by Perry (1996). The subsequent empirical section presents a case study which examines different types of appointments as well as areas of operation within the “German Red Cross”, a nonprofit organization. The results indicated here demonstrate the existence of PSM. Lastly, useful insights are delivered in terms of the influencing factors, this due in no small part to the choice of a qualitative study design. It may be noted that no significant difference in PSM is found between full-time employees and volunteer workers. By contrast, the way PSM is expressed by street-level workers differs widely from that of those working at an administrative level. In addition, the paper provides first attempts at an explanation and refers to the theory of the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, as well as to self-determination theory.

The goal of this paper is to describe the relationship between a non-governmental organisation and the government. The paper is a case study of the non-governmental organization Meta o.p.s. which works in the field of integrating foreigners and focuses on the issue of educating pupils who speak various mother tongues. The paper deals with the development of relationships, the roles within these relationships the organization fulfils with regards to the government, and the influence these relationships with the government have on the organization's goals and development. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the persisting barriers which prevent these relationships from being created and developed. The relationships between Meta o.p.s. and the government are observed on individual levels of the public administration (national, regional, municipal). The paper consists of 4 parts. The theoretical part introduces basic theoretical starting points, namely models of relationships between the government and non-governmental organizations, and the roles fulfilled by non-governmental organizations in the society. The next part presents the methodology and chosen strategy of the research, i.e. case study. The empirical part monitors the development and nature of the relationships on individual levels of the public...
