Harmonizace pracovního a rodinného života žen v manažerských pozicích

The diploma thesis focuses on the socially current topic of harmonization of work and family life with a focus on women in managerial positions who are also mothers. The motivation for writing this diploma thesis is to refute the experienced stereotype that women cannot reconcile work with family and therefore should not embark on the path of a managerial career. The aim of the diploma thesis is to map what aspects enter into work and family satisfaction of women in managerial positions and what strategies managers choose in harmonizing work and family life. The theoretical part of the thesis provides an overview of what is already known about topics such as women in management, the main breadwinner model and two-career partnerships, life satisfaction, harmonization of work and family life and strategies associated with its management. For the purpose of the diploma thesis, qualitative forms of research are used in the practical part. The basis is semi-structured interviews with mothers who have experience working in a managerial position. The main output of the qualitative survey are findings that deepen current knowledge and point to the time evolution of the researched issues. The practical benefit lies primarily in recommending what strategies managers can use when reconciling work and family.
