SOCIAL PERCEPTION IN FORESTRY WORKERS ON NEW STYLE MANAGING IN FORESTS
2003
Sedivy V. , Pernica M.
New style of managing requires besides others so-called sustainable development. In forest it means to work with natural resources and in natural surroundings like before through the medium of new techniques and technologies considerate to the working and living environment. Evidently workers (operators) will work with new evolved techniques. But the question is â__Are they able to work considerate to the environment?â__ According to our operational hypotheses they feel working environment as unfriendly and they have very low cognitive knowledge. We used method of questionnaire. We processed obtained data by a statistic programme SPSS Base 11.0. We put in questionnaire for the present to 817 persons. A sample consists of secondary schools and university students preparing to the forestry occupation, and of technical and economic workers, which are managing or will manage such a working, and of operators of the new technology. Result is that workers are not able to work considerate to the environment. Change of a social atmosphere is ahead of us yet. Forestry management needs to require wholly certainly forms of their work, and to monitor these forms under the threat of sanctions. Ecological education initially in short theses, later on in principle of causality(cause-consequence) have to be learned concurrently.
