In this article a part of results of more comprehensive research entitled “Croatian working
class and social justice” have been presented. There have been compared answers the
workers with land property (peasant-workers) and those without it gave to questions how
important do they consider and to what extent do they find realised “the highest constitutional
order values of the Republic of Croatia” (art. 3 of the Republic of Croatia
Constitution).
The results show that both groups of workers gave similar answers, but at peasant-workers
there is a little “system move” towards slightly weaker acceptance of constitutional values,
as well as a slight “system move” towards higher estimation of realisation of these values.
In the article some possible explanations of the results obtained have been suggested, but
the author in the first place points out the need for further researches for which the key
concepts like peasant-workers, dual income source and others, should be re-defined.
Otherwise, according to gained results, both peasant-workers and workers without land
property are relatively most content with realisation of the following values: “equality of
rights of the nations”, “peace-making” and “freedom”, and they are the least content with
“respect of human rights”, “rule of justice” and “social justice”. Possible interpretation of
these results has also been offered in the article
