Operacionalizacija pojma društveni položaj u istraživanjima društvene strukture u Srbiji

Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je utvrđivanje kako je koncept društvenog položaja operacionalizovan u empirijskim istraživanjima društvene strukture u Srbiji. Osnovna pretpostavka u radu je da načini operacionalizacije pojma zavise od društvenog konteksta u kojem se istraživanje sprovodi. To ne znači da operacionalna definicija pojma ne zavisi i od drugih faktora, posebno od teorijskih shvatanja istraživača i složenosti proučavanog fenomena. Rad je zasnovan na najznačajnijim empirijskim istraživanjima društvene strukture u Srbiji, najvećim delom realizovanim na Institutu za sociološka istraživanja Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu.

The aim of this paper is to determine how the concept social position is operationalized in empirical studies of the social structure in Serbia. The basic assumption in the paper is that the ways the concept is operationalized depend on the social contexts in which research is conducted. This does not mean that an operational defi nition of the concept does not depend on other factors, especially the theoretical understanding of researcher and complexity of the studied phenomenon. The paper is based on the most important empirical studies of the social structure in Serbia, mostly realized at the Institute for Sociological Research of Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade.
