Razvoj človeških virov je bistvenega pomena pri doseganju uspeha za katero koli vrsto organizacije: profitne, javne ali civilne. Stanje civilne družbe je odvisno od okolja, tj. habitata, v katerem deluje. Cilj magistrske naloge je raziskati zavzetost zaposlenih v civilni družbi na Hrvaškem. V vsaki državi je sektor civilne družbe različen in se sooča s posebnimi izzivi. Sektor civilne družbe na Hrvaškem je še vedno v zgodnjih fazah razvoja in je pogosto povezan s podhranjenostjo s človeškimi viri. Mnoge civilnodružbene organizacije na Hrvaškem v celoti temeljijo na prostovoljnem delu. V nalogi smo se osredotočili na hrvaške civilno-družbene organizacije, ki imajo zaposlene. Teza je bila izbrana na podlagi vse več literature, ki se ukvarja z zavzetostjo zaposlenih v kontekstu razvoja civilne družbe. Izbran raziskovalni pristop je kombinacija kvantitativne (anketa) in kvalitativne (delno strukturiran intervju) metode. Intervjuji so bili uporabljeni kot dopolnitev k opravljenim anketam. Ključne ugotovitve kažejo, da so ne glede na finančno nestabilnost in nagnjenost k izgorelosti zaposleni v civilnodružbenih organizacijah na Hrvaškem relativno visoko zavzeti. ; The development of human resources is paramount in achieving success for any type of an organization: profit, public or the civil one. The state of the civil society is dependent on the surrounding context i.e. habitat in which it is operating. This paper aims to zoom into EE in the civil society in Croatia. The civil society sector is different in every country and it is facing unique challenges. In Croatia, the civil society is in its early phase of development, and is characterized by being under-capacitated, especially regarding its human resources. Many CSOs (in Croatia) are completely based on voluntary work. In this paper we have focused on Croatian CSOs that have employees. The thesis has been chosen based on the growing amount of literature on the topic of EE in context to the developing civil society. The research methods that have been used are a combination of the qualitative (the survey) and the quantitative (the semi-structured interviews) method. The interviews have been used as an addition to the surveys rendered. The main findings indicate that the employees in the civil society in Croatia, in spite of the financial instability and the burnout connected to their working environment, demonstrate relatively high engagement.

Abstract. This study considers how today's growing consumer culture affects political trends in representative democracies. In recent years, a significant populist
upsurge has been seen around the world. While political approaches are vital, to properly understand populism it is also necessary to take sociological perspectives
into account. The questions considered in the study are therefore examined from both political and sociological perspectives. The results of the study show that today's
increasing consumer culture is paving the way for the rise of populism in representative democracies. Should the consumer culture experience a significant crisis, populism is likely to become stronger through the support provided by abstaining, blank and pragmatist voters.
