The professional communication nowadays is the basis for successful connection on professional and personal level. But the ability to understand and use non-verbal communication and body language is a powerful tool which helps in connecting with others in expressing what they really think. Experts in communication agree that when two people talk face to face, only a small part of the entire message which is shared contains the words they use. Most of the message is contained in the tone of voice, the accent, speed, volume and accidence. The use of non-verbal communication (silence) in writing, speaking and daily business communication is a routine in every culture, in each of the areas mentioned. A modern trend in modern companies worldwide is the usage and interpretation of non-verbal communication of their customers through marketing strategies with aim to improve their distribution and marketing in the world market but also the personal contact with their consumers. Understanding non-verbal communication and interpretation of silence in certain cultures and meeting them in person enhances their feeling of things, both in culture, business and literature.

Power Distance (PD) effects in Bulgarian organisations have been subject to scientific research for almost a quarter of a century now. However, that type of interaction between managers and employees is a relatively new area of study in the field of human resource management in hotels in Bulgaria. The paper presents the results from 12 empirical studies of PD using Hofstede’s model, two of which are in the hospitality industry. A comparative analysis has been carried out on the Power Distance Index (PDI) and its variables: fear among the employees, their understanding of an actual management style, preferred management style, etc. The results obtained in the hospitality industry show the highest PDI in comparison to other sectors. The paper also discusses some of the consequences high PDI can have for the human resource management practice in hotels. Some proposals are made as how to reduce the PDI.

The art of communication is not a natural process or an ability we are born with. We learn to communicate. Concept and preoccupation of great topicality, the communication style raises a number of problems that require methodological caution: the need for a better operationalization of the concept, approaching the phenomenon in all its complexity, relating the style to the context in which it is applied. More appropriate than looking for the "best style" is to find the "optimal style" that streamlines the relationship between leaders and subordinates. The communication style must be appropriate to the purpose and objectives of the communication, the recipient, the situation and the context of the communication (Pruteanu, 2006).

There are aspects of the activity that can be appreciated bydirect observation or as a finished product. Hence the role of the manager to possessskills and competencies of observing, comparing and correcting the processes thattake place in the led units, as well as competencies to appreciate people's contribution to achieving objectives, motivating them, implementing /using mechanisms for informing about results and subsequent cycles of activities. or here, decisive is the managerial competence of communication, which can be a defensive one, which provokes evaluation and judgment; desire for control; strategic andcalculated approach to the message by the subordinate; neutral approach; showingsuperiority; showing self-confidence; or a supporting one, which causes description;problem-solving orientation; spontaneity in conveying the message and reaction;empathic approach; recognition of equality between sender and receiver; arguing thecontent of the message.

The educational changes in the Romanian pre-university education system over the last ten years have required the creation of internal mechanisms, articulated through an internal managerial control system in order to improve and maintain performance in all the basic compartments of the school organization. The success and the performance of a educational organization is based on many factors that take into account the scholars progress, the professional training of professors, the curriculum, but also the manager’s style and strategies that he applies at an institutional level. Despite controversy and doubt, internal management control is seen as an indispensable tool in performance management of modern organizations. The reason for this consists in management control treating the present problem for all the typologies: that there is certainty in the fact that managers, alongside with professors achieve performances in the behalf of the organization. In order for the relationship between the manager of the institution and his personnel to remain favorable, it is normal that the management to measure and control the performance of his employees. The present paper aims to create an internal radiograph within a preschool education institution in order to hierarchize performance indicators and / or identify influential factors to be achieved in order to obtain a performing school environment (for children, teachers and the entity manager). The paper/research begins with a presentation of the theoretical concepts, followed by an empirical research that is based on qualitative methods, and uses as an instrument the interview (applied to teachers, heads of departments, managers).

The concept of malingering, which means false illness, is not only an issue that should be addressed by the field of psychiatry, but also an important issue that should be examined for businesses. This concept, which is difficult to detect, is seen as a situation where employees take shelter in order to escape from work. The concept of malingering, which is defined as consciously pretending to be sick, exaggerating or triggering the disease for an identifiable secondary gain, has become an important problem in business life within the framework of its causes and effects. Malingering in business life can be due to personal reasons as well as to reasons arising from the business environment. Many empirical studies show that malingering; health complaints, perceived workload, working conditions, ergonomic defects, negative employee-manager and employee-employee relations, health status of individuals, age, migration history, job and income satisfaction, size of the institution they work for, and existence of a fixed-term employment contract. reported to be significantly related to its properties. The effects of malingering are manifested in the form of turnover, continuous payment of absent employees, inadequate use of labor, productivity losses, customer dissatisfaction, increased administrative costs, high turnover costs, reductions in workforce morale, and heavier workloads. The increase in malingering is not only harmful to organizations in the long run, but also brings a burden to the state and society. Despite all this importance of the subject, it is seen that studies in the field of health are intensively carried out, although scientific statistics on malingering in enterprises cannot be reached. In this context, it is thought that it is important to know the concept in detail.

This study delves into the intricate relationship between leader narcissism, stress levels, and organizational communication, providing insights into the dynamics of contemporary workplaces. Utilizing a sample survey conducted within an information technology department, participants assessed leader narcissism, job stress, and organizational communication through comprehensive questionnaires. The findings illuminate the positive correlation between the "exploitativeness" dimension of leader narcissism and the "work-family conflict" sub-dimension of job stress, as well as the "feedback" sub-dimension of organizational communication. Similarly, a positive association emerged between the "superiority" dimension of leader narcissism and the "critical communication" sub-dimension of organizational communication. Conversely, a negative relationship was observed between the "self-sufficiency" dimension of leader narcissism and the "information sharing" sub-dimension of organizational communication. Moreover, a statistically significant negative correlation was identified between the "authority" dimension of leader narcissism and the "role ambiguity" sub-dimension of job stress, while a positive relationship was detected with the "role stress" sub-dimension. These empirical findings underscore the nuanced effects of leader narcissism on job stress and the quality of organizational communication within the workplace. These significant insights offer valuable implications for leadership practices and organizational communication strategies, empowering organizations to address the challenges associated with leader narcissism. The scholarly contribution of this study advances the field of organizational behavior, providing actionable recommendations for leaders and managers striving to cultivate a conducive work environment.

In today's post-modern world, where uncertainty and chaos prevail, rule-based hierarchical organizations are giving their place to businesses where expert power and knowledge, and therefore people, are more important. In these new structures, where continuous change is required, the effect of individuals' behaviors within the organization on performance and the importance of directing these behaviors in a positive way increase even more in order to manage individuals and institutions. In this study, the concepts of organizational citizenship behavior and organizational politics, which are two important research areas of the organizational behavior literature, are discussed over the relationship between each other and on the basis of Social Exchange Theory. Although research on politics in the management literature has increased in recent years, it does not receive the importance it deserves. Researches generally associate politics only with manipulation and behavior aimed at protecting the interests of managers or management. This negative perception leads to an incomplete understanding and explanation of the organizational politics. But political behavior includes both positive and negative behaviors. The policies implemented by the managers and the political behaviors they exert are closely related to the potential and existing organizational citizenship behaviors of the employees. In the context of the Social Exchange Theory, it is seen that the citizenship behaviors of the employees increase to the extent that the managers meet the expectations and needs of the employees.

In a business environment that is exposed to constant changes, companies face numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges is managing the new workforce, namely Generation Y, also called Millennials (born between 1980 and 1994) and Generation Z (born between 1995 and 2010). The paper deals with the perception of Slovenian companies about generations Y and Z in the workplace, in order to find answers about the challenges that await them and to shape the work environment, putting younger employees in a better position to achieve organizational goals. The introduction discusses the expectations, values and behaviors of generation Y and generation Z in the workplace, and analyzes the best practices for managing them. Next, the results of interviews conducted with HR managers from some of the best Slovenian companies are presented. Research has shown that young people value the relational type of working relationship much more than the transactional type. For this reason, companies should invest more in relational aspects of work, such as communication, employee care, culture, recognition, respect and inclusion. Relational factors are more important for attracting and retaining young workers than transactional factors, such as salary. These factors require less direct financial investment and more personal engagement (time and energy) on the part of mentors, managers and human resources management. Also, the positive attitude of the best ranked companies towards young people ought to be emphasized, in contrast to the attitudes that can be found in the media and academic literature, where there are a significant number of negative stereotypes about young people.
