Slovene Youth Expectations Toward the Military Occupation/Profession and the Military Organisation as a Working Environment (Slovene Youth and Military Profession -1997 Survey)

Stavovi slovenske mladeži spram vojske i njena motivacija za vojni poziv već su i ranije bili predmetom nekoliko studija. Slovenska mladež; vojna profesija iz 1997. godine prvo je istraživanje provedeno nakon što je Slovenija 1991. godine stekla nezavisnost i stvorila vlastitu vojnu organizaciju. Istraživanje je bilo usredotočeno na učenike trećih razreda srednje škole, a sprovedeno je u siječnju 1997. godine. Broj ispitanika koji su ispunili upitnik bio je 1642 (54,4 % muških i 45,4 % ženskih ispita­nika). Zbroj je 99,8 % - Zbog velikog broja varijabli u našem upitniku (406), u ovom radu prikazat ćemo samo najvažnije i i najzanimljivije rezultate i nalaze koji se odnose na očekivanja slovenske mladeži od vojnog zanimanja/profesije i od vojne organizacije kao radne okoline. Ovi aspekti odnose se na (1) poželjno trajanje ugovorne vojne službe, (2) mjesto službovanja (zemljopisni aspekt), (3) poziciju u službi (funkcionalni aspekt odnosno pitanje poželjne uloge), (4) stavove mladeži spram pojedinih grana, rodova i službi u okviru oružanih snaga, (5) beneficije nakon prestanka djelatne vojne službe i (6) plaću i/ili naknade. Rezultati našeg istraživanja pokazuju neočekivani interes mladeži za vojno zanimanje/profesiju. Ugovor o vojnoj službi koji bi potpisao najveći broj mladih Slovenaca sadržavao bi sljedeće odredbe: godina dana vojne službe na neborbenoj tehničkoj ili administrativnoj poziciji uz nešto službe u inozemstvu te stipendija za studij nakon okončanja službe.Slovene youth attitudes towards the military and the motivation for the military profession were in the past subjected to several studies. The Slovene Youth and Military Profession survey in 1997 was first after 1991 when Slovenia achieved independence and formed its own military organisation. The research Slovene Youth and Military Profession was focused on the youth in the 3\u27yearaf secondary schools. The survey was carried out in January 1997. The final number of students who answered our questionnaire is 1642 and consists of 54,4% male and 45,4% female population. Because of the large number of variables in our questionnaire (406), in the paper are presented only some most important and most interesting results and findings concerning Slovene youth expectations toward the military occupation/ profession and the military organisation as a working environment. These aspects are: (1) the length of the desired military service contraction period, (2) the place of military service (geographical aspect), (3) the place of military service (functional aspect i.e. question of desired role), (4) the youth attitude toward branches, arms and services inside the armed forces, (5) benefits following the end of active military service and (6) salary and/or pay. Our researching results show an unexpected youth interest for the military occupation/profession. The contract for the military occupa­tion/profession signed by the highest number of Slovene youth would be: one year of military service in a non-combat technical/administrative function with some ser­vice abroad, and scholarship at the end of service
