Abstract

is paper explores the behavior of managers who lead businesses in the Gjilani municipality and

their legal responsibility during their activities based on law. It consists of two phases. In the rst

phase we analyze the international literature that deals with this topic in a systematic interpretation.

While in the second phase we analyze data’s collected from the eld. In the second phase we have

interviewed 15 managers, that have implied their perceptions about legal responsibility and on the

other hand we have also interviewed 15 employees analyzing their legal responsibility. Among the

most interesting ndings in this paper, is that the managers of Gjilani municipality are aware about

the legal responsibility theoretically, while most of them do not fulll the obligations, by placing

their interests in rst place, with the aim of achieving more revenues by breaking the law.

Key words: Managers, legal responsibility, labor law, business.

Introduction

Businesses in the municipality of Gjilan have faced a lot of troubles, aer the Kosovo War

and although lately there have been some improvements, problems and diculties are still

evident in the way of doing business. ese businesses oen neglect the implementation

of laws, with the aim of quick prot. Although it is known that the purpose of any business

is prot, this doesn’t t mean that they should neglect the implementation of laws and in

this way inuence the stability and mutual cooperation between business and society.

Another objective of this paper is the presentation of the current situation of businesses

in the municipality of Gjilan regarding labor law application.

Some of the questions that we will try to answer deal with: What is the knowledge and

attitude of managers towards legal liability and legal responsibility and how do they

apply this knowledge in practice? Another question in this paper deals with the ways

of implementation of labor law as a legally binding obligation. We have used analytical

and comparative methods during our research paper. e sample data were taken from

managers and workers who were selected randomly and based on their answers we arrived

to conclusions and recommendations of this paper.
