Abstract

The current paper aims to approach how the scientific researchers of the Romanian Academy are co-opted by the institution’s management when augmenting the strategies of development for the institutions and research centres where they perform their activities. The study has been done on a batch of 170 researchers by self-managing a questionnaire which was semi-structured and endeavoured to outline the researchers’ expectations on their mode of relating with the Academy’s management about the involvement in the development of strategies. The results show an overwhelming rate of those who wish to get involved, while the conclusions highlight the way the communication and relating is done within the institution, namely the researchers ‘expectations concerning the management activity of the Romanian Academy.
