Abstract
Public administrator is a new function, which was introduced into the Romanian legislation by Law no. 286/2006 amending and supplementing Law no. 215/2001; the contract management, under which public administrators carry out their responsibilities, is not defined either by legislation or by doctrine, because there are various opinions in the specialty literature ranging from its qualification as a labor contract to the civil nature of this legal relationship. In this article, we try to provide a basis for the contractual administrative view about the management contract concluded between a public administrator and the executive public authority within an administrative territorial unit.
