Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su provjeriti postoje li značajne razlike u razini entitlementa s obzirom na pripadnost generaciji, koje se socio-demografske karakteristike pojedinca mogu smatrati značajnim determinantama entitlementa, te može li se entitlement povezati s generalnim ideološkim orijentacijama kod građana u RH. U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 217 ispitanika oba roda (127 žena i 90 muškaraca), te su primijenjena dva mjerna instrumenta: Entitlement upitnik - novi mjerni instrument za mjerenje entitlementa u sociološkom kontekstu (konstruiran za svrhe ovog istraživanja) i Upitnik generalnih ideoloških orijentacija (Proroković, 2016). Dodatno je primijenjen i upitnik za utvrđivanje osnovnih socio-demografskih obilježja ispitanika. Obuhvaćene su tri generacije: Generacija Y (N=108), Generacija X (N=69) i Baby Boomeri (N=40), prema kategorizaciji i kronološkim okvirima koje su predložili Strauss i Howe (1991). Dobiveni rezultati su ukazali na značajne razlike u razini entitlementa s obzirom na generacijsku pripadnost. Teorijski očekivano, najviša razina entitlementa je opažena kod Generacije Y, nešto niža kod Generacije X, te najniža kod Baby boom generacije. Nadalje, viša razina entitlementa u relaciji je s višom generalno lijevom ideološkom orijentacijom kod svih generacijskih grupa (značajne korelacije pozitivnog predznaka). Što se tiče potencijalnih determinanti entitlementa među ispitivanim socio-demografskim obilježjima, značajnima su se pokazali rod i religioznost ispitanika, a na starijim generacijama i tip tvrtke u kojoj su zaposleni. Nereligiozni pojedinci i muškarci su pokazali značajno nižu razinu entitlementa, dok su zaposleni u javnom sektoru pokazali najviši entitlement u odnosu na nezaposlene i zaposlene u privatnom sektoru. There were several research goals, the main of which include investigating any potential differences between the generations with regards to the level of entitlement, analysing potential determinants of entitlement among socio-demographic variables and the potential link between entitlement and the general ideological orientations on the Croatian population. Two instruments were applied on the research sample that enumerates a total of 217 participants of both genders (127 women and 90 men): the one constructed anew for the purposes of this research to assess the level of entitlement and the general ideological orientations questionnaire (Proroković 2016). It is also important to add the routinely applied questionnaire for determining participants’ basic socio-demographic characteristics. Three generations were encompassed by the study: Generation Y (N=108), Generation X (N=69) and Baby Boomers (N=40), according to the categorization and the chronological framing by Strauss and Howe (1991). The results of the research have indicated significant differences in the level of entitlement across different generations. As theorized, the greatest level of entitlement was found in the Generation Y, followed by Generation X and finally Baby Boomers. Furthermore, greater level of entitlement correlated positively with the left-wing orientation in all generational subgroups. When it comes to potential determinants of entitlement among the examined socio-demographic data, religiosity and gender were proven significant across generations, also with the company-wise type of employment as a determinant in older generations. Nonreligious individuals and men showed significantly lower levels of entitlement, while those working in public sector showed the greatest entitlement in relation to those unemployed or working in private sector. |
