Sažetak
The challenges that managers face in performing their managerial functions during the covid19 pandemic are numerous. The aim of this paper is to investigate the problems that managers face in performing their managerial functions. The three biggest problems are noticeable, the psychological aspect (care for employees who are under stress due to the covid-19 pandemic), rising prices of raw materials needed for business and the inability to plan due to instability in business caused by the covid-19 pandemic. During the covid 19 pandemic, managers are more exposed to stress in performing managerial functions and spend more time caring for employee satisfaction and maintaining the health of the collective. Also, the increase in raw material prices makes the company's current operations more difficult. In the part of the research, an interview is conducted with 35 operational managers in Croatian companies, in January 2022, with pre-prepared questions related to the daily performance of managerial functions in companies during the covid-19 pandemic. The data obtained by the interview are statistically presented in the chapter research results. The scientific contribution of this paper is reflected in the research of the problems that managers face in performing their managerial functions during the covid-19 pandemic. Managers point out that they are more stressed, as are employees. It is more difficult for them to perform all managerial functions, and they have the most problems with the planning function, because there is an unplanned absence of workers in the workplace every day, which directly affects another managerial function, organization. The problems caused by the covid-19 pandemic are visible in the performance of all managerial functions, and least of all in the performance of the control function
