Abstract

Stewardship, concept developed within stewardship theory, is defined as managerial commitment towards collective welfare in the way that long-term interests of organization are priority in his/her behaviour, and not his/her personal goals and interests neither goals nor interests of other individuals and groups. The aim of this paper is to define a set of principles and activities for implementation of stewardship behaviour so that sense of personal ownership and responsibility is strongly present within the entire organization, consequently resulting with long-term profitable growth. The attributes of organizational model are identified from stewardship theory perspective in comparison to the traditional model and the role of manager-steward in implementation of stewardship principles is apostrophised.
