Abstract

Company performance depends to a great extent on managers who, in the usual understanding of their role, perform the functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. Different factors of economic and social character have an impact on all employees, and, by the same token, on managers. These issues should be permanently analyzed at the company level, which is primarily the task of human resource management. However, to outline the general profile of managers these attitudes should be examined at a higher level, which was the purpose of the present research. The main intention was to determine how Croatian managers perceive certain aspects of their own employment, work conditions and commitment, as well as to verify the significance of differences with regard to the chosen characteristics. The research was conducted on a sample of managers based in the four counties of Eastern Croatia. The collected data were analyzed by means of adequate statistical methods. The results enable the managers, regardless of their own answers to particular questions, to gain a clear insight into their position in the business world, and to use their knowledge, experience and skills more effectively in fulfilling their tasks.
