Description
Summary:This paper aims to determine changes to the internal communication in the police organization in Croatia over a ten-year period. The research is based on a survey conducted on a convenient sample of respondents – 2010 (n = 1,250) and 2020 (n = 1,296). The respondents, i.e. police officers, filled in a questionnaire that measures eight dimensions of satisfaction with internal communication. The results of discriminant analysis reveal that there is a difference in satisfaction with internal communication in the two waves of research. Statistically significant are the differences between respondents in 2010 and 2020 for all dimensions. The contribution of the paper is its monitoring of changes in the satisfaction of police officers in Croatia with internal communication. The investigation of changes in communication is extremely important because police organizations, especially in transition countries, have changed frequently.
Namen prispevka je ugotoviti spremembe internega komuniciranja v policijski organizaciji na Hrvaškem v desetletnem obdobju. Raziskava temelji na anketi, opravljeni na priložnostnem vzorcu anketirancev v letih 2010 (n = 1.250) in 2020 (n = 1.296). Anketiranci, tj. policisti, so izpolnjevali vprašalnik, ki meri osem dimenzij zadovoljstva z internim komuniciranjem. Rezultati diskriminantne analize kažejo, da obstajajo razlike pri zadovoljstvu z internim komuniciranjem v dveh časovnih obdobjih raziskave. Statistično pomembne razlike med policisti v letih 2010 in 2020 so bile zaznane pri vseh dimenzijah. Doprinos prispevka je viden v spremljanju sprememb v zadovoljstvu z internim komuniciranjem pri policistih na Hrvaškem. Raziskovanje sprememb v komuniciranju je izjemno pomembno, saj so se policijske organizacije, predvsem v tranzicijskih državah, pogosto spreminjale.
