COMPARATIVE STUDY CARRIED OUT BETWEEN THE PRIVATE AND STATE MANAGEMENT STYLE OF THE ROMANIAN SPORTS SECTOR.

Objective: The present study is intended to be an alarm signal for new managers of sports organizations, who are forced to give up managing institutions and to focus more and more on the development of the organization by practicing effective leadership styles. Methods: We used documentation method, the direct and indirect observation method, questionnaire survey. Results: Having as a starting point my own experience in working simultaneously in state and private law sports organizations, we considered that one of the obvious differences is the leadership style, the working style of the directors with their employees, but also regarding the development of the organization. An equal number of directors of public and private sports units in Bucharest were interviewed to verify the hypothesis. Conclusions: Following the analysis of the data, the hypothesis was confirmed, the leadership styles in state sports being overwhelmingly authoritarian and bureaucratic. The focus on the task in this case is very obvious, while in the private sector there has been a greater concern for human relations. Managerial efficiency in the private system turned out to be six times higher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
