Abstract
Organizations today need leaders who understand the com
plexities of a rapidly growing and changing business environment. The
subject of this research is employees’ attitudes on the interest of their
superiors in their professional development in financial institutions in
the Republic of Croatia. The objective of the study is to explain the atti
tudes of employees of financial institutions in the Republic of Croatia
about the interest of their superiors in their professional development.
The survey was conducted online. The sample size is 3141 respondents/
employees. The hypothesis “There is an interest of superiors in the
personal and professional development of subordinates” is to be
rejected. The obtained results show that in the financial industry
in Croatia, employees find that superiors have no interest in their
professional development. Through further analysis, research results
provide differences in the respondents’ attitudes about the interest
of their superiors in the professional development of employees in
financial institutions. The interpretations are explanations of why
certain groups of examinees have the attitudes they expressed, which
represents the objective of the research.
