Abstract
This paper points to the needs of assessing the professional style of employees’ behavior in the company Novi Sad Fair with a goal to encourage greater performance in their work. The Novi Sad Fair is engaged in the service management and the main engine of the company is its employee workforce, which makes it very important to determine what type of behavior is dominant, which will signify the extent of their competence. The Professional Style Profile, used in this research, was developed and processed in 1984 when it was first used after extensive research, tested in specific areas and certified after testing 500 managers and experts. It is designed to determine the desired or dominant style of behaviour when distributing jobs. It is designed to determine the desired or dominant style of behaviour when distributing jobs. This research involved 100 employees in this company, whose professional behavior styles were measured using the “Professional Style Profile” questionnaire. The confirmed hypothesis of the study of the uniformity of the presence of a developmental and controlling behavioral style concludes that a space is created for the proper positioning of employees with certain style behavior dimensions in the required workplaces.
