Analysis on the Employees’ Perception of Leadership, in a Company With a Production Profile in Romania

Abstract The success of an organization consists of a multitude of factors and elements, which combined perfectly lead to the achievement of the best performing standards. The frequently asked question is not whether an organization can be successful, but what exactly makes an organization successful. Therefore, we can say that both managers (leaders) and employees have important roles, starting with the objectives and strategies established at the level of the organization and up to their implementation and the relationship between them and providing permanent and reciprocal feedback. In a previous study we analyzed the relationship between leaders and employees within organizations with a production profile in Romania, so we considered it necessary to analyze the opinion of employees towards leaders. Thus, the 31 respondents occupy different executive positions within a production company. A questionnaire based on a quantitative analysis was used as a working tool. It consisted of 18 questions (17 closed-ended questions and one open-ended question). The questionnaire was distributed directly (online) using the Google Forms platform. In conclusion, we can say that the employee-leader relationship must also be analyzed from the perspective of the behavior that both have within the organization. Following the study, we can say that leaders are largely satisfied with the behavior and attitude that leaders show towards them in different situations.
