Tato diplomová práce reaguje na chybějící poznatky o zkušenostech spotřebitelských a seniorských organizací občanské společnosti (OOS), které se zapojují do řešení problema- tiky předváděcích akcí v ČR. Práce popisuje široké spektrum aktivit OOS přímo i nepřímo působících proti fenoménu předváděcích akcí; přibližuje zkušenosti z odlišných tematických okruhů, na základě kterých identifikuje dvě hlavní témata, která i nadále negativně působí: stagnující či stoupající počty nově podvedených osob a sociální osamělost seniorů. Na základě některých společných rysů obou problémů práce upozorňuje na některé společné kořeny obou problémů, na dosavadní, zpravidla úzkou specializaci ve zvolených oborech a nezbytnost mezioborové a instrumentální spolupráce.

Purpose at work. Motivations of Workers of Selected Low-threshold Facilities for Children and Youth Bc. Michaela Valentová Abstract Diploma thesis focuses on the experience of purposefulness of employees of low- threshold facilities for children and youth. In theoretical part low-threshold facilities are firstly conceptualized as a part of Czech organized civil society. Secondly, relevant theories of purpose are introduced. In empirical part, qualitative research is conducted by in-depth interviews with nine employees of two typical civil society organizations. Workers of low-threshold facilities for children and youth construct their purpose around four categories: helping clients, professionality, work ethics and self-development. Each of these categories brings specific consequences for their organizations.
