Abstract

IN CROATIAN: Ovaj rad analizira odnos između formalne etičke infrastrukture i svakodnevnih organizacijskih praksi u hrvatskoj akademskoj zajednici. Polazeći od profesionalne etike kao institucionalnog svojstva akademske zajednice, uvodi pojam etičkog formalizma kojim označava institucionalnu konfiguraciju u kojoj su etičke norme formalno prisutne, ali slabo integrirane u svakodnevne organizacijske prakse i kolektivnu refleksiju. Empirijska analiza temelji se na dvama anketnim istraživanjima provedenima 2024. godine među znanstvenicima na hrvatskim sveučilištima i institutima (objedinjeni uzorak N = 2.011; modul profesionalne etike N = 1.109). Analiza obuhvaća vidljivost i funkcionalnost etičkih tijela, percepciju izvora etičke odgovornosti te distribuciju svakodnevnih i ozbiljnih etičkih povreda, uključujući izazove povezane s generativnom umjetnom inteligencijom. Rezultati pokazuju slabu upoznatost s radom etičkih tijela, ograničenu percepciju njihove funkcionalnosti i snažnu individualizaciju etičke odgovornosti. Nalazi upućuju na institucionalni obrazac u kojem je etika formalno uspostavljena, ali slabo integrirana u svakodnevni akademski rad. ------------- IN ENGLISH: This article examines the relationship between formal ethics infrastructure and everyday organizational practices in the Croatian academic community. Building on the understanding of professional ethics as an institutional property of the academic community, it introduces the concept of ethical formalism to describe an institutional configuration in which ethical norms are formally established but weakly integrated into everyday organizational practices and collective reflection. The analysis draws on two surveys conducted in 2024 among researchers at Croatian universities and public research institutes (combined sample N = 2.011; professional ethics module N = 1.109). It examines the visibility and functioning of ethics bodies, perceptions of ethical responsibility, and the distribution of everyday and serious ethical breaches, including challenges related to generative artificial intelligence. The findings reveal limited familiarity with ethics bodies, low confidence in their practical role, and a strong individualization of ethical responsibility. Rather than indicating an absence of ethics, they suggest that ethics remains procedurally institutionalized but weakly embedded in everyday academic practice.
