Abstract

In the modern society, where importance is placed on progress, new technologies and economic trends, there is a lack of awareness of the significance of good interpersonal relations and organizational culture within a company. They both contribute to the better functioning of employees as well as the entire organization. The purpose of this study was to determine any possible differences between the stressors linked to the relationships within an organization and those linked to the work of middle management. The study included 58 middle managers working in commercial activity in the Ljubljana region. The results have indicated that the amount of stressors related to the relationships, and stressors related to the managers’ work, that affect the middle managers participating in the survey is on average the same. The results have therefore shown no statistically significant difference between the two forms of the studied stress factors.
