Sažetak:

Istraživanje je provedeno u cilju ispitivanja znanja i stava mladih osoba prema kreditu. Ukupni uzorak ispitanih iznosi 77 mladih osoba, a is­pitivanje je provedeno uz pomoć strukturiranog on-line anketnog upitnika među studentskom populacijom. Rezultati ukazuju na važnost štednje, ali i nedostatak prakticiranja među ispitivanom populacijom. Postoji prostor za poboljšanje znanja vezanih uz kredite i o kreditnoj sposobnosti kao i kom­pleksnijim financijskim pojmovima. Uočen je nedostatak znanja o ulaganji­ma u vrijednosne papire i investicijske fondove. Ograničenja ovog istraži­vanja mogu se vidjeti u manjem uzorku, ali i uzorku studentske populacije. Preporuke za daljnje istraživanje su da se uzorak proširi na cjelokupnu po­pulaciju i ne samo na visoko obrazovane mlade osobe ekonomskog usmje­renja te da se koristi veći uzorak radi signifikantnije statističke potvrde.

Abstract:

The research was conducted to examine the knowledge and at­titude of young people towards credit. The total sample of respondents is 77 young people, and the survey was conducted with the help of a struc­tured online questionnaire among the student population. The results indi­cate the importance of saving, but also the lack of practice among the sur­veyed population. There is room for improving knowledge related to loans and creditworthiness as well as more complex financial terms. A lack of knowledge about investments in securities and investment funds was ob­served. The limitations of this research can be seen in the smaller sample, but also the sample of the student population. Recommendations for fur­ther research are to expand the sample to the entire population and not only to highly educated young people with an economic orientation and to use a larger sample for more significant statistical confirmation.
