THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL AND PRIVATE LIFE OF ROMANIAN MANAGERS

Summary/Abstract: Purpose–The investigation of relationship between professional and family life of managers from Romania in terms of time allocated to these aspects. Design/methodology/approach – This study was conducted on 111 managers from Arad County (56 men and 55 women) from various fields of activity. Findings – The results support the idea that leisure time decreases after taking over the position of manager. Practical implications/originality/value – There is no significant association between gender and the amount of leisure time. Although we expected women to report less leisure time after taking over the top management position (and men more leisure time) this situation cannot be reported. Explanations: 1. there are differences but they could not be depicted through the manner the data were collected 2. Women managers get help from other people (parents, in-laws, husband, housekeeper) after taking over management positions.
