kierowniczego

Kierowniczego is a form of the Polish adjective kierowniczy, meaning managerial or related to management. The base noun from which it derives is kierownik, meaning manager or director, and the suffix -iczny forms adjectives that describe relation or belonging. The term is widely used in business, administration, and organizational contexts to indicate something pertaining to management or to the managerial level.

Grammatical role and form. Kierowniczego is the genitive singular form of kierowniczy (masculine) and of kierowniczny in the neuter gender. It is used when the modified noun is in the genitive singular. For example, kierowniczego pracownika means “of a managerial employee,” and kierowniczego zespołu means “of a managerial team.” Polish adjectives must agree in gender, number, and case with the noun they modify; thus kierowniczego appears in contexts requiring genitive singular.

Usage notes. The adjective kierowniczy, and its inflected forms including kierowniczego, are common in formal and administrative language. They contrast with kierowniczy as a predicative or attributive form in nominative contexts, such as “poziom kierowniczy” (the managerial level) or “kierownicza drużyna” (the managerial team, feminine). The genitive form kierowniczego is particularly frequent in phrases describing possession, composition, or specification of a noun related to management.

Etymology and related terms. The word combines kierownik (manager) with the adjectival suffix -iczny, producing descriptors like kierowniczy (managerial) and kierownictwo (management, the body of managers). Related terms include kierownictwo (management), kierownik (manager), and kierowniczy as an adjective in other case forms.

In summary, kierowniczego is the genitive singular form of kierowniczy, used to express “of managerial” in phrases where the noun it modifies is in genitive singular.
