Abstract
The empirical research reported in this paper was carried out independent/)' by the author in March 1988 on a sample of 617 respondents from 17 organizations belonging to the basic group of employees in the building construction and building materials industries on the territory of 14 city districts in the city of Zagreb. The survey included managers, experts in non-management positions, routine office workers and workers. The research confirmed our initial hypothesis that the respondents- perception of class structure is influenced significantly by their education, and therefore there are considerable differences in attitude among individual categories of employees related to their educational background The results obtained lead to the conclusion that there are two models prevailing in the respondents- consciousness — the money model and the power model, and thus the models identified by E. Bott, D. Lockwood and J. H. Goldthorpe in their work have been shown to be applicable in Yugoslav society also.
