döntéshozói

Döntéshozói is a Hungarian adjective and nominal form derived from döntéshozó, which means "decision-maker." As an attributive or possessive form, döntéshozói commonly appears in compound expressions to describe roles, responsibilities, perspectives or processes related to those who make decisions. Examples include döntéshozói felelősség (decision-maker’s responsibility), döntéshozói kompetenciák (decision-making competencies) and döntéshozói szint (decision-making level).

In public administration, business and organizational contexts, the term frames discussion about authority, accountability and the distribution of power among actors who set policy or strategic direction. In sectors such as healthcare, finance and technology, döntéshozói is used to qualify policies, guidelines and tools aimed at supporting or constraining decisions—for example, döntéshozói iránymutatás (guidance for decision-makers) or döntéshozói támogatás (decision support).

The concept connects to decision-making theory, governance, ethics and risk management. Döntéshozói considerations often address transparency, stakeholder engagement, evidence use and legal or institutional constraints. In everyday language, the form signals a focus on the actor or level responsible for choices rather than on the choices themselves. Its usage is idiomatic within Hungarian professional and policy discourse and helps specify which actors, capacities or procedures are being referenced in analyses and prescriptions.
