Chapter one: Contextualization of the study
1. Introduction
1.1 Background to the study:
The misunderstanding of the concept of managing or the lack of study or simply creating a personal idea about what management means and what it implies leads to a series of conflicts between management and staff.
This research investigates the management style of hotel managers by analyzing the hotel employee perceptions of their manager styles and effectiveness. It uses the findings of previous research, such as that by Hinkin and Tracey (1999) and Gilbert and Guerrier (1997) to compare hotel management styles in a changing environment.
1.2 Statement of the problem:
In many hotels in Romania a lot of conflicts occur between staff and management because of the wrong idea each part has about managing and managerial tasks and skills. On one hand, managers have their own idea about managing a hotel based on their studies and experience, on the other hand the staff also has its opinion about managing based on what they heard or on what they assume it’s right or wrong or, sometimes, on their experience or level of studies.
