Sažetak
Using the Diffusion of Innovations Theory (Rogers, 1962) as a conceptual base and employing a factor analysis, a typology of Croatian academics in relation to their attitudes towards civic mission and their innovativeness was developed. In this particular context, academics’ innovativeness was operationalised as academics’ willingness to accept changes in their daily teaching and research (ready for a change, neutral, resistant to the changes). Since it has been supported with the empirical data, this typology can serve as a significant contributor in placing further steps of civic mission promotion among Croatian academics. The study represents a quantitative research approach. Empirical data were collected by a questionnaire method of a representative sample of 570 examinees, academics from all seven Croatian public universities, whereby the network/internet questionnaire, designed specifically for this research purpose, was used.
