| Abstract: | This paper aims to present a comparison of Romanian and Dutch leadership. Six Romanian professionals were interviewed about their work experience both in Romania and in the Netherlands and about their interactions with their managers. Dutch leadership characteristics, cultural background and acculturation, values, working environment and working experience in Romania were the main themes identified. Findings show that the most predominant leadership style in the Netherlands was the democratic one and that there is an overall positive sentiment towards Dutch management and the way of working. The results show both confirmation and contradictions of previous studies. The acculturation and adaptation processes are described, with the main differences experienced by the interviewees being shown. |
