Zvládání stresu u manažerů ve finančním sektoru pomocí mindfulness

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of stress and its management using the mindfulness approach. Its goal is to find out if practicing mindfulness has an effect on the subjective feeling of managing stress among managers working in the financial sector. The theoretical part of the work explains the basic terms associated with stress and mindfulness and describes how practicing mindfulness can affect stress. The practical part is devoted to qualitative research, where for the purposes of this work, a research sample of managers completed a five-week Masterclass course on stress management, where mindfulness was the main approach throughout the duration of the course. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers before and after completing the course. Research was also supplemented with data from the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire, which respondents also filled out before and after completing the course. The final results of the research are discussed in the context of the findings from the theoretical part.
