Ha uptmotivationspun kte bei der Beteiligung an den Prčsidentschoftswchlen im Jahr 2000

U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja glavnih motivacijskih odrednica glasačkog opredljivanja građana na izborima za predsjednika Republike Hrvatske 2000. godine te specifičnih razloga glasovanja za pojedine od vodećih predsjedničkih kandidata. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se, na promatranim izborima, odluka birača pretežno temeljila na percipiranim elementima programske orijentiranosti kandidata (bilo onima sasvim općenitog i apstraktnog značaja, bilo na njihovoj konkretizaciji u smislu očekivanog prinosa ostvarenju temeljnih nacionalnih ciljeva), a u vrlo velikoj mjeri i na procjeni njihovih moralnih kvaliteta. Budući da su, kako to sugeriraju rezultati provedene analize, ti elementi odlučivanja bili podjednako odlučujući za izbor svih vodećih kandidata, za razlikovanje potencijalnih glasača pojedinih predsjedničkih takmaca mnogo su se korisnijima pokazali općenito manje važni razlozi opredjeljivanja, znatno niže rangirani u hijerarhijskoj strukturi dominantnih izbornih motiva. Riječ je ponajprije o nekim osobinama ličnosti i stranačkoj pripadnosti kandidata te percipiranom odnosu prema politici dotad vladajuće stranke i prijašnjeg Predsjednika Republike.The paper presents the research results of the main motivationoi determinants of citizens\u27 voting decisions at the Croatian presidentiai elections in 2000. It also portrays the specific reasons for voting for some of the leading presidentiai candidates. The research has shown that, in the elections observed, the voters\u27 decisions were mostly based on the perceived elements of the candidates\u27 programmatic orientations (those of a completely general and abstract significance, as well as their concretization in terms of the expected contribution to the realization of fundamental national goals). It was also considerably based on an assessment of their moral qualities. Due to the fact that these decision-making elements, as has been suggested by the results of the conducted analysis, were equally decisive in choosing all the leading candidates, it has been established that generally less important reasons of selection, ranked much lower in the hierarchical structure of dominant election motives, were much more useful in discriminating among the potential voters for specific presidentiai competitors. These are first and foremost certain personality traits, the candidate\u27s party membership and the perceived relationship towards the policy of the formerly ruling party and former President of the Republic.Vorliegende Arbeit prčisentiert die Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung uber die Hauptmotivationspunkte, die die kroatischen Burger zur Beteiligung an den Prčisidentschaftswahlen Ende Januar 2000 bewegten, sowie die spezifischen Grunde, die die Stimmabgabe fUr den jeweiligen Prčisidentschaftskandidaten beeinflussten. Es erwies sich, dass die Stimmabgabe uberwiegend von den wahrgenommenen Elementen der politischen Orientierung des jeweiligen Kandidaten bestimmt war (sowohl in allgemeinem und abstraktem Sinne als auch konkret, d.h. im Sinne des erwarteten Beitrags zur Verwirklichung der grundlegenden nationalen Ziele), in bedeutendem MoBe ebenso aber auch von der Einschčitzung seiner Charaktereigenschaften. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse suggerieren, dass im Falle der fUhrenden Prčisidentschaftskandidaten diese beiden Motivationspunkte gleichermaBen die Entscheidung der Wčhler beeinflussten, wčhrend zur Differenzierung der Kandidaten weniger wichtige Grunde ins Gewicht fielen, die in der hierarchischen Struktur der dominanten Wahlmotive einen niedrigeren Rang einnahmen. Gemeint sind in erster Linie bestimmte Chorokterzuqa und die Parteizugehorigkeit des jeweiligen Prčisidentschaftskandidaten, ferner dessen Einstellung zur Politik der vormaligen Regierungspartei und des ehemaligen kroatischen Prčisidenten
