Strain and Employment of Unemployed Persons

Anton VUKELIĆ ; Fakultet strojarstva i brodogradnje, Zagreb

Sažetak

This paper investigates through the category of anomy and
theory of strain the effect of unemployed status on the
normative system of unemployed persons. The social
selective character of employment and the inability to find a
job gives the goal of employment extreme importance, which
is reflected in the selection of modes of employment. The
central hypothesis investigates whether the disjunction
between pronounced aspirations for a job and the inability
(or non-expectancy) to be realized in a legal way is
statistically connected with the intention to choose illegal
options. The investigated model is enriched with some
coping process strategies, the category of personal factors of
employment is developed, and at the same time the
relationship between the regional percentage of
unemployment and certain relations in the model is
investigated. Although the results of the empirical research
do not confirm the correlation between strain and illegitimate
options, the findings indicate what unemployed persons are
prepared to do to solve their unemployment. For further
research, within the above-mentioned theoretical
approaches, it is necessary to combine them with new goals,
different concepts of the coping process and other
nonlegitimate options, which could prove to be heuristically
fruitful in explaining particular forms of deviation in the
transitional environment of Croatia.
