A challenge for the Romanian management companies - The communication specialist

In this paper, the authors’ goal was to analyze the importance of managerial communication in Hunedoara county companies. The authors carry out a research using the survey method through a short questionnaire, ensuring that it does not take more than 5 minutes for the respondents to complete. The questionnaire was composed of 14 questions, was distributed online and applied to a group of over 500 companies from Hunedoara County, between 13th September 2020 and 30th September 2020. The authors received 34 answers, and these answers consist the basis of the research. The authors were interested in whether there are managerial communication procedures at the company level, and also, they have focused on the characteristics of managerial communication in these companies. They analyzed if in these companies it is used a task-centered or a human-centered communication, whether the communication used is formal or informal, or what method of communication is mainly used - bottom-up or top-down. Even if the present research was limited to the borders of Hunedoara county, the authors demonstrate the necessity of the existence of communication specialists especially in the area of organization management.
