Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je predstaviti osebnostne značilnosti in specialna strokovna znanja strokovnih delavcev, ki so po mnenju zaposlenih strokovnih delavcev v slovenskih zaporih pomembna pri delu z obsojenci. Metode: Za potrebe študije, ki je potekala od aprila do maja 2017, je bil uporabljen vprašalnik, ki je bil v obliki spletne ankete posredovan 97 strokovnim delavcem v slovenskih zaporih in prevzgojnem domu. Statistične analize so bile izvedene s programskim orodjem SPSS. Ugotovitve: Strokovni delavci so kot najpomembnejše osebnostne lastnosti pri svojem delu navedli odločnost, empatijo, komunikativnost, zanesljivost in strpnost. Večina je kot najpomembnejša strokovna znanja izpostavila komunikacijo s težavnimi strankami, reševanje konfliktnih situacij, osnovno znanje psihologije, poznavanje zakonodaje in vodenje svetovalnih razgovorov. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Omejitev študije predstavlja velikost in struktura vzorca, ki onemogoča posploševanje rezultatov na vse skupine strokovnih delavcev. Hkrati obstaja možnost, da so strokovni delavci, ki so sodelovali v študiji, podali socialno zaželene odgovore zaradi strahu pred razkritjem odgovorov oziroma njihove identitete in morebitnih sankcij, ki bi sledile. Praktična uporabnost: Ugotovitve predstavljajo izhodišče za nadaljnjo razpravo, morebitne spremembe usposabljanja strokovnih delavcev in pomoč vodstvu zaporov pri iskanju bodočih kadrov za strokovno delo z obsojenci. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Prispevek predstavlja prvo strokovno študijo o osebnostnih značilnostih in specialnih strokovnih znanjih strokovnih delavcev v slovenskem zaporskem sistemu. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present personal characteristics and special professional skills of specialised staff, which according to the specialised workers in Slovenian prisons, are important for working with prisoners. Design/Methods/Approach: The study took place from April to May 2017. A questionnaire was sent, in the form of an online survey, to 97 specialised workers in Slovenian prisons and a correctional home. Statistical analyses were conducted using the programme tool SPSS. Findings: Specialised workers stated that determination, empathy, communicativeness, reliability, and tolerance are the most important personal characteristics in their work. Majority of them highlighted communication with difficult clients, ability of conflict resolution, basic psychological knowledge, knowledge of the legislation and conducting consultative interviews, as the most important professional competences. Research Limitations / Implications: The main limitation of the study is seen in the size and structure of the sample, which prevents the generalization of results to all groups of specialised staff. Furthermore, there is a possibility that specialised workers, who participated in the study, gave socially desirable answers due to their fear of disclosure and possible subsequent sanctions. Practical Implications: Findings present the basis for further discussion, possible changes in the training of the specialised staff and assistance to the prison management in the future search of prospective personnel who would conduct professional treatment of prisoners. Originality/Value: The paper presents the first study on personal characteristics and special professional skills of specialised staff in the Slovenian prison system. |
