Agents of Change in the Public Sector in Romania

Summary/Abstract: By this study, we aimed to show how important is the role of a leader in the expression of the idea of change, being able to propose the way to follow and give employees a sense of collective responsibility in carrying out strategic activities and objectives. By applying the sociometric technique, as a research method, we analysed the social relations in two HR Departments within the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection, Bucharest. The results showed the differences between their work climates, the management style of each leader and the internal competition between employees. We could make some proposals that targeted changes within the two departments, from the leadership perspective, which had the effect of preventing social group “explosions” that could have had adverse consequences on the finality of activities, and therefore, on citizens, through the social services rendered. In our opinion, the findings of this research not limited only to Romania, they could be of interest for other countries in the region, too
