Abstract

The article presents an analysis of respondents' perception of the regional management style as a factor characterizing the managerial communication system. Based on the secondary conceptualization of empirical data (6021 field documents) obtained in 2019-2020 in 12 regions of the Russian Federation during a self-filling questionnaire based on a quota sample calculated for each region according to Rosstat, the author conducted a study of the relationship between respondents' characteristics of the regional management style with agreement with it, concern about the shortcomings of the regional management system and assessments the work of the vertical of power from the federal to the local levels. The author identified a number of patterns, based on which it was concluded that groups of respondents who define the regional management style differently agree with it to varying degrees, demonstrate concern about the shortcomings of the characterized management system in different ways and evaluate the final result of the activities of the power and management vertical. Respondents who define the management style as authoritarian and clan-based tend to be more concerned about the shortcomings of the management system for the most part than respondents who characterize the management style as democratic, collegial, liberal or vague. Respondents who define the management style as authoritarian tend to evaluate the final result of the work of authorities at all levels lower than respondents who believe that the management style is democratic, collegial or uncertain.
Keywords:
