SOCIALNA, INSTITUCIONALNA IN ORGANIZACIJSKA PODPORA V POHLEPNIH INSTITUCIJAH: ZADOVOLJSTVO SLOVENSKIH VOJAŠKIH DRUŽIN

Coser je vojaške organizacije in družino opredelil kot dve pohlepni instituciji, katerih tekmovanje za posameznikov čas lahko vodi v konflikt med delom in družino. Za uspešnejše usklajevanje so na voljo različne oblike podpore. Na podlagi veljavne teorije smo v članku izpostavili tri tipe podpore: socialno, institucionalno in orga- nizacijsko. Zadovoljstvo z naštetimi tipi smo preverjali v 33 slovenskih vojaških družinah, med katerimi smo ugotavljali tudi to, koliko je Slovenska vojska med vojaškimi družinami razumljena kot pohlepna institucija. Analiza intervjujev kaže, da slovenske vojaške družine sprejemajo vojaški način življenja, ki zahteva pogoste in dolgotrajne odsotnosti, vendar pa partnerji/-ke velikokrat občutijo pohlepnost vojaške organizacije, ki večino bremena skrbi za otroke in gospodinjstvo, posebej v času napotitve na MOM, prelaga nanje. Vojaške družine posebno med daljšo odso- tnostjo pripadnika/-ce kot primarni vir podpore dojemajo socialno okolje, pri čemer se pokaže pomen razširjene družine. Hkrati pa izpostavljajo nekatere zaželene oblike institucionalne podpore, na primer sistem hitrega obveščanja o dogajanju v MOM. Pozitivno je bil ocenjen dostop do interneta, ki omogoča komunikacijo s partnerji/--kami in otroki. Kot kaže, prav to zmanjšuje stres in odtujenost ob odsotnosti enega od staršev.Coser defined military organization and family as two greedy institutions where competition for individuals’ rank can lead to a conflict between work and family. However, various forms of support are available to provide for a successful coordi- nation of these two. On the basis of the existing theories, the paper defines three types of support: social, institutional and organizational. Satisfaction with these three types of support has been examined in 33 Slovenian military families. In this respect, we also tried to determine the extent to which the Slovenian Armed Forces is perceived by military families as a greedy institution. The analysis of the interviews shows that Slovenian military families accept the military way of life, which requires frequent and lengthy absences. Partners, however, often experience the greedy nature of a military organization, which burdens them with a great deal of care for children and household, especially during deployments. Especially during prolonged absence of their members, military families perceive social environment as a primary source of support. In this context, the importance of the extended family comes to forefront. At the same time, they point to some of the desired forms of institutional support, such as Rapid Alert System reporting on the developments in international missions and operation. They have positively evaluated Internet access, which enables communi- cation with partners and children. It seems that the latter reduces stress and alienati- on in the absence of one parent.
