Tasks and competences of a private eye in a small society : the case of private detectives in Slovenia
Dvojmoč, Miha ; Erčulj, Vanja ; Sotlar, Andrej
The work of private detectives is a young profession in Slovenia. It has only existed for about three decades, and as such has been rarely researched. So far there has been no study on what Slovenian ...private detectives actually do in the framework of the tasks that are stipulated by law. Therefore, the aim of a survey presented in the article is to fnd out what private detectives do on a daily basis and what competences they need to perform their tasks. Since there are only around 90 private detectives in Slovenia, they must all have good knowledge of several areas simultaneously. However, our survey suggests that based on the work tasks performed, Slovenian private detectives can be classifed into three groups – “business-oriented private detectives,” “typical private detectives” and “multitasking private detectives”. For every task they perform, private detectives need certain general and specifc competences. The private detectives who participated in this study agree that they must be able to collect and generate important information from a large amount of data, be IT literate and very self-disciplined. Additionally, they must have extensive legal knowledge and organizational skills. The least important skills for private detectives, in their opinion, are public speaking and martial arts. The only diference found among the groups used to classify private detectives is the importance of analysing large amounts of data. Bearing in mind the fndings of the study, it is clear that more work is available for those private detectives who can perform a broader spectrum of tasks and possess more competences.
