LEADERSHIP STYLE, INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND THE QUALITY OF THE MEDICAL ACT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WITHIN A STATE HOSPITAL

Through this research approach, we aimed to identify the main characteristics of the leaders of the Colțea Clinical Hospital, in the conditions and context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We chose this approach in view of the fact that the pandemic was and still is a challenge for all medical staff in the medical unit, which could have led to changes in behaviors, interpersonal relationships, with potential influences on the medical act. The results indicate that within the medical unit there is a rather transformational leadership style, with very little transactional influences, perceptions of interpersonal relationships are positive, and in terms of the quality of the medical act the highest scores were obtained by equity of the medical services and the item that described patient safety, all being elements that can characterize the activity of medical units during the COVID-19 pandemic.
