Abstract

In this article, having regard to the European and national women entrepreneurship, we attempted to identify the women entrepreneurs’ management styles. As a concept, the management style is very important to the organizational management as a whole because it represents the very essence of same, in my opinion. Defining the management style as a manager’s own and personal means of networking both professionally and personally with their direct subordinates to determine them to observe his/her instructions, we included in this definition the essence of management, which is nothing other than the achievement of goals and the resolution of tasks through one’s subordinates. To identify these styles, we opted for the questionnaire developed by Fiedler, an advocate for situational approaches, in the form of a questionnaire-based qualitative research. Basically, Fiedler assumes that a manager asked to characterize their least preferred co-workers through a set of adjectives, if they have a task orientation, they will tend to rate their least preferred co-workers by picking the negative adjectives from a series of bipolar scales (between tense and relaxed, they will choose tense). If the manager has human relations orientation, they will understand that their least preferred co-worker may be relaxed, sociable, willing to oblige, etc. For all the debates it generated, this questionnaire remains an interest tool for the identification of leadership styles.
