Abstract
It has often been said that the style of decision making is reflective of leadership style. Numerous studies in the field of management and leadership show that decision making style is a key factor contributing to the success of managers and organizational performance. In Kosovo, decision-making styles are conditioned by many factors. It should be noted that the most important factor in adequately matching the characteristics and knowledge of workers and the specifics required at work lies in the high number of unemployment. This often causes the workforce to perform work for which there is no professional training in the field. Also, from the research we found that there is a difference in the decision making style and the adaptation of the characteristics of work and employees between sectors. In general, the public sector tends to have more security for employees in the workplace, which drives them to look for other jobs, but the private sector shows more willingness to take risks. The difference also lies in the nature and activity of the work between the sectors studied. Often there are different approaches of employees and leaders between the banking sector or design organizations. Our study, which is based on empirical data, will present facts on decision-making styles, and factors that influence the determination or adaptation / non-adaptation of employees to the jobs in the sectors studied.
 Keywords: style, decision making, intuitive, alert, manager.

Summary
Graph 1: Distribution of decision-making styles Source: SME Survey, Ferizaj, conducted by the author During the analysis of the questionnaire, the hypothesis was rejected, due to the fact that a large number of respondents had a supportive style. Before making a decision they relied on the knowledge, advice and information of their peers, who according to them had the appropriate experience and information that would serve them for successful decision making. This can be caused by the fact that we live in an uncertain environment in which it is impossible to know all the possible alternatives when analyzing a problem for a given decision. What can be noticed from the surveys is that in decision making, the most important dimensions for managers are: rational approach, focus on problems, desire for results and problem structuring
