“…: 383], "v případě vyčerpávajících šetření není namístě užívat statistickou indukci vůbec". Dotazníkové šetření mělo poměrně vysokou návratnost; z 1 404 oslovených dotazník alespoň částečně vyplnilo 652 respondentek a respondentů a návratnost tedy činila 47 %, což lze považovat za úspěch, uvážíme-li, že akademická výběrová šetření, jež vznikají s vysokými finančními náklady, mají často srovnatelné, leckdy i nižší návratnosti [Chylíková 2018]. I v případě, kdy je návratnost při oslovení celé populace menší než 100 %, je nutné soubor považovat za populační data a nelze na něj aplikovat inferenční statistiku [Soukup, Rabušic 2007].…”

This study focuses on the approaches used by Czech social workers operating in the field of child protection to resolve parental conflicts and looks specifically at their inclination to employ defensive practice. Defensive practice involves prioritising regulations and prescribed rules over the interests of clients, i.e. parents and children. The aim of this study is to verify, with the help of a questionnaire, the theoretical connections between the use of defensive practice and several factors that represent working conditions and external pressures. The research indicates that the factors connected with the use of defensive practice to deal with parental conflicts have the opposite effect in the Czech Republic that that observed in international studies or have no influence whatsoever. Child protection social workers who emphasise compliance regard their working conditions as favourable and have somewhat conservative attitudes and beliefs. The authors' interpretation of the findings is that the emphasis on regulations in Czech child protection is not a defensive reaction to threatening working conditions, but an expression of loyalty to an organisation that offers them a pleasant work environment where they need not be afraid of any potential failures or consequences of their decisions. They also propose redefining Czech defensive practice by placing less emphasis on compliance as a reaction to unfavourable working conditions.
