The paper identifies changes in the dimensions of organizational culture in the period before the Covid-19, just after the pandemic, and also identifies the type of organizational culture in public administration institutions as demanded by employees. Respondents were municipal officials randomly selected from all regions of the Czech Republic. The OCAI questionnaire was used for the online survey. After statistical processing of the data obtained from 1,189 respondents, it was confirmed that the clan type prevails in all the periods under study. It was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between gender, age, length of employment, gender of manager and dimensions of organizational culture types. It can be concluded that the pandemic did not have any dramatic effect on the changes in organizational culture in public administration. The practical significance lies in the identification of changes in the location of dimensions in types of organizational culture. Knowing the location of dimensions in different types is essential for managers as it can lead them to create an appropriate organizational culture, which is a condition for the performance of any organization not excluding public administration.

Family businesses are the foundation of any economy. They have been heavily influencing our society for many centuries. The level of involvement among family members is vital to flourish a family business. Therefore, research is conducted to assess the dependencies of six aspects of the selected family businesses in the Czech Republic. Several findings from the family survey are found in the correlation analysis: there is the highest indirect dependence between the number of directors and the number of family members actively involved in a family business, and some factors do not show dependence. This is evidenced by the relationships between the number of members of the board of directors or managing directors and the number of family members who are not interested in family business. Correlation analysis methods are used on top of the methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison.

Research background: Family businesses are undoubtedly important in both the Czech and international economy. They also play a crucial part in globalization. They have always been providing the largest job source in the private sector all over the world. However, over all these years, there has not been a unified definition of family business, which makes the government hard to distinguish between family and non – family business. Thus, this complicated the administrative and legal process. Finally, in 2019, the definition of the family business in the Czech Republic has been specified, which has facilitated many administrative and legal processes. Simultaneously, the management of Czech family businesses is currently facing the first “post-revolutionary” transition of generations. Many family businesses are deciding whether to maintain or to change the type of business entities. Purpose of the article: This article aims to determine the most advantageous legal form of business for micro family businesses. Methods: This article uses the Saaty pair comparison method and TOPSIS method. In addition to the methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison, the selected methods of multiple criteria decision making are used in the article. Findings & Value added: The results of the decision analysis revealed that, based on the criteria considered (legal, accounting, tax and managerial), the most optimal legal form of the family business is self-employed. Apart from the results, the research adds value to this topic for the Czech business environment, in which future scholars can compare between the Czech Republic and the other countries.
