Any fraud, regardless of the gender and age of the fraud perpetrators, inevitably leaves a short-term or long-term negative mark on society's economy. Many financial frauds in the past (Enron, WorldCom, Parmalat) have left profound negative consequences on global financial markets. Such "financial strikes" on the financial markets led to financial losses of many companies (not only those in which frauds were committed), the dismissal of many workers, and even the bankruptcy of companies. Successful detection and prevention of fraud imply the harmonious and efficient operation of several factors. One of them understands people’s attitudes towards fraud. It is necessary to understand what motivates an individual to commit fraud and the conditions under which someone would commit fraud. Plenty of resources and time have been invested in understanding the motives for adult fraud, i.e., mature people. Experience has shown that it is much more challenging to educate people of that era about the harmful effects of fraud and thus convince them not to commit fraud. For these reasons, the subject of this paper is the consideration of the attitudes of the younger population towards fraud in Serbia. More precisely, the paper discusses the attitudes of young people aged 18 to 30 regarding motives, pressures, and opportunities to commit fraud, participate in corruption, or offer bribes. The main objective is to indicate the tendency of young people to participate in fraud and examine whether respondents’ gender influences their willingness to participate in fraud. The research results suggest that, according to young people, the main motive why someone would participate in fraud is financial gain and that young people would participate in fraud only if they could get medical intervention sooner. They also believe that fraud is most prevalent in public administration and that men are more prone to fraud than women, but that the influence of gender is very small. Goljufije so povezane z gospodarskimi in finančnimi pritiski, ki ljudi silijo k njihovemu izvrševanju. Vsaka goljufija, ne glede na spol in starost storilcev, neizogibno pusti kratkoročen ali dolgoročen negativen pečat na gospodarstvu družbe. Številne finančne goljufije v preteklosti (Enron, WorldCom, Parmalat) so pustile globoke negativne posledice na svetovnih finančnih trgih. Takšni "finančni udarci" na finančnih trgih so povzročili finančne izgube številnih podjetij (ne le tistih, v katerih so bile storjene), odpuščanje številnih delavcev in celo stečaje podjetij. Uspešno odkrivanje in preprečevanje goljufij pomeni usklajeno in učinkovito delovanje več dejavnikov. Eden od njih je odnos ljudi do goljufij. Razumeti je treba, kaj posameznika motivira za goljufije in pod kakšnimi pogoji bi nekdo zagrešil goljufijo. Veliko sredstev in časa je bilo vloženega v razumevanje motivov za goljufije odraslih, tj. zrelih ljudi. Izkušnje so pokazale, da je te ljudi veliko težje poučiti o škodljivih učinkih goljufij in jih prepričati, da goljufij ne bi počeli. Iz teh razlogov je predmet tega prispevka obravnava odnosa mlajšega prebivalstva do goljufij v Srbiji. Natančneje, članek obravnava odnos mladih, starih od 18 do 30 let, do motivov, pritiskov in priložnosti za goljufije, sodelovanje pri korupciji ali ponujanje podkupnin. Glavni cilj je nakazati nagnjenost mladih k sodelovanju pri goljufijah in preučiti, ali spol anketirancev vpliva na njihovo pripravljenost za sodelovanje pri goljufijah. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da je po mnenju mladih glavni motiv za sodelovanje pri goljufiji finančna korist, in da bi mladi sodelovali pri goljufiji le, če bi lahko prej dobili zdravniško pomoč. Odgovori anketirancev kažejo tudi, da so goljufije najbolj razširjene v javni upravi, in da bi mladi sodelovali pri goljufiji le, če bi s tem lahko prej dobili zdravniško pomoč. attitudes younger population fraud stališča mlajše prebivalstvo goljufije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2023-06-19 16:32:46 2023-06-19 16:32:46 2025-06-06 10:59:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 str. 18-27 no. 3 Vol. 68 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-15 343.3/.7-053.81(497.11) 131427331 10.2478/ngoe-2022-0015 0547-3101 https://journals.um.si/index.php/oe/article/view/2423 1 28d95fd9-0eae-11ee-9241-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=168154 https://journals.um.si/index.php/oe/article/view/2423 1 6875f08a-421c-11f0-9cf0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=191849 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta Naše gospodarstvo 0 0 0
