In this study, we investigated how medical professionals’ perceived the work-related requirements and their need for healthcare management education. Materials and methods: Qualitative interview study (N = 15). Consenting on group profiles health care specialists outlined the following areas of abilities that need to predominate in the profession of a nurse managers – 80% „ability to speak”, 60% „imagination”, 100% „physical ability”,” being innovative” and ”possessing organizational, business and social skills”. Involving healthcare professionals in exploring ethograms and ethoprofiles may foster professional commitment and prove to be an effective managerial approach of human resources through enhanced organizational communication encouraging feedback on personnel self-assessment thus enabling effective motivation and decision making.
