Spravování

Spravování is a Czech noun that denotes the act or process of managing or administering something. It is derived from the verb spravovat and is used across domains to describe planning, organizing, directing, and controlling resources to achieve goals, as well as handling routine operations. The term can refer to public administration, corporate governance, property management, or service delivery.

In business and information technology, spravování appears in phrases such as spravování majetku (property management), spravování dat (data management), and spravování uživatelů (user management). It emphasizes ongoing processes rather than a single decision, though it can cover both operational tasks and strategic governance.

In legal and public contexts, spravování can describe the administration of assets, estates, or institutions, typically under defined rules and oversight. The term is commonly contrasted with maintenance (údržba), which focuses on upkeep, and with řízení or vedení, which more directly imply leadership or control.

Related terms include správa (administration or management), spravovat (to manage), and správce (administrator). In Czech, spravování is frequent in formal writing, manuals, and policy documents, reflecting its role as a generic descriptor of administrative or managerial work across sectors.
