Anotace:
This study is focused on the analysis of the scope of autonomy of schools and their headteachers in the work with human resources and its influence on a specific relation and the position of the headteacher of the school towards the other teachers. It analyses the possibilities of creating a teaching staff, selecting and dismissing individual teachers, their development and tool of evaluation, their rewarding and leading of the development. Two school systems are selected for this study ― German and Austrian. These two systems may be considered as centrally controlled and in the latest years, the progressive strengthening of autonomy of the schools has been discussed and planned. In spite of the long attempts to strengthen the autonomy, the reforms in the last years have been focused rather on the standardization of the performance of the teaching increasing thereby the quality of education. The presented findings within this text are compared to the situation in the Czech Republic, which contributes to deep understanding of the role of the Czech headteacher and his/her relation to the teaching staff involving his/her role in the international context. This text is completed by concrete examples of authentic practice.
