Abstract

The topic of this research was to examine the differences in crisis management during the
Covid-19 crisis in different sectors of the economy in the Croatian market. This Master thesis
examined the aspects of the respondents’ organizations that were most affected by the
pandemic, a crisis plan as a prevention measure against unplanned events, and a pre-defined
team of people that can adequately respond to the crisis. Furthermore, this research also
examined the measures taken by the organizations to prevent further spread of the virus, the
preparedness of leaders for the Covid-19 crisis, and the relationship of leaders and teams
within the organization to their employees, the so-called leader-follower relationship.
The Internet survey questionnaire, which served as a method for conducting the research, was
distributed to the respondents via social networks and e-mail. Eighty-one respondents
completed this anonymous survey questionnaire.
By analyzing the research results, it was found that the respondents were quite satisfied with
the reaction of their leaders to the current coronavirus crisis and that the organizations in
which respondents work were resourceful in the crisis they encountered
