Sažetak
This article deals with the issue of working on Sunday in Croatia and presents original empirical data gathered via the method of questionnaire in 2016. Considering the deficit of research on working on Sunday from the perspective of the youth as the bearer of social trends, the object of analysis is this group, i.e., students in Croatia (N=1094). On the basis of four conceptualised models, the set hypotheses were largely confirmed. For instance, the socio -educational model showed that examinees with higher income and more educated parents have a higher tendency to support working on Sunday than those examinees who are in the category of lower income and less educated parents. Three out of four hypotheses set within the model of consumption have been confirmed. According to this model, hedonistic consumers will support working on Sunday more than those who do not follow consumer trends, do not find shopping to be relaxing, and do not go shopping when they had a bad day. All hypotheses set within the model of religiosity have been confirmed. This means that examinees who identify themselves as religious and who regularly attend religious rituals are more likely to oppose working on Sunday than atheists and examinees who do not attend religious rituals. With the exception of the Internet, the model of trust confirmed that examinees with higher institutional trust show larger support for non -working Sunday when it comes to the Parliament, police, unions, and the Church. Despite limitations of the realised non -probabilistic sample, the most fundamental finding of this article is that the majority of those who participated in the questionnaire supports free Sunday, which corresponds with tendencies in the general population. Given the fact that there were attempts to regulate the issue legally in a number of cycles, the initiative of free Sunday indicates a possible value consensus in the Croatian society.
