The Director of the Municipal Administration is a manager on a middle level. On one hand, he is in a subordinate position to the Major; on the other, he is superior to his colleagues. As a result, we discover that they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. Especially when they were previously in an equal position to their colleagues from a hierarchical point of view. Their leadership then remains on a friendly level. In contrast, such career advancement has a positive impact on the effectiveness of day-to-day work tasks, as they are related to various areas of activity of the municipal administration. The job responsibilities of directors of municipal administrations vary depending on the size and structure of the municipality. In larger ones, there are more employees, which allows the directors of municipal administration to focus on management and professional tasks to a greater extent. Meanwhile, the directors of smaller municipal administrations, in addition to the tasks above, are largely characterized by performing operational tasks. The period of the COVID-19 epidemic had a significant impact on the technical regulation of the operation of municipal administrations. Several changes were set in place to prevent employees from contracting COVID-19. Generally, we find that the quality of relations is better in municipal administrations with up to five employees. Nevertheless, in provincial municipalities, we have seen an increase in concern for colleagues and their health during this period.
