Vedení lidí v neziskovém sektoru na příkladu vybrané organizace

The aim of this thesis was to identify the leadership style of a manager in a non-profit organization, assess her strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the impact of her leadership on employee motivation. The research was conducted in the non-profit organization META using a case study design that combined both quantitative and qualitative methods. Specifically, the study utilized the Czech Leadership Questionnaire (CLQ) and in-depth interviews. The findings show that the manager predominantly applies a transformational leadership style that fosters an environment of trust, open communication, and meaningful work—elements that are essential for sustaining employee motivation in the non-profit sector. At the same time, certain challenges were identified, such as the need to develop skills in providing constructive feedback, ensuring more balanced individual attention, and establishing clearer rules in the area of recognition and rewards. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of leadership practices in non-profit organizations and confirms that transformational leadership, combined with the ability to create meaningful work environments, is a key prerequisite for effective people management in this sector.
