Synopsis

Excerpt from Effort Allocation by Research and Development Managers

The first level supervisor occupies a position of particular interest to students of organizational life because of this position's boundary situation. The juncture between the responsibilities and activities of an engineer and those of an engineering supervisor is perhaps even greater than that between a factory worker and the production foreman. The latter has been called the man in the middle First level engineering supervisors have'been described as having to face in two directions; they must understand and speak two languages. As participants in the broader decision making processes of the Corporation-they 'internalize' the norms of the business enterprise. But as scientists and managers of scientists, they need to show an understanding of, and respect for, professional goals. They have pressing upon them the expectations of two different roles.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Effort Allocation by Research and Development Managers Four basic areas of possible influence have been investigated and found to bear some relationship with an engineering supervisor's allocation of time: the individual himself, in terms of his personal job interests and desires; his perception of his superior's desires in terms of time allocation; a set of role and task requirements manifest in his perception of how he ought to spend his time; and several structural characteristics of the organization. A clearer understanding of how an engineering supervisor allocates his time, in light of these pressures, would seem to be important if progress is to be made toward the more efficient utilization of engineering and scientific personnel.
