Managers and the Organisation

Steven Male and Robert Stocks

Chapter 7 in The Management of Construction Firms, 1989, pp 93-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on the individual manager within the organisation. First, it deals with what sort of person the manager is and what may be his own goals and aspirations; secondly, it looks at the roles of the manager in the firm; and thirdly, at some of the ways in which the manager functions. Clearly these aspects of managers and management are interrelated — for example, the sort of person the manager is will be one of the factors determining what he sees as his job and how he can carry out that job. However, for clarity they are dealt with separately. The relationship between the type of manager and structural features of the organisation is analysed in the last section.
