Abstract: The job of a manager consists of several parallel roles. A manager may perceive one role as more important than other roles. The goal of this paper is to present results from a survey of police managers in Norway on the relative importance of leadership roles. A questionnaire was developed to measure leadership roles in police districts. Respondents emphasised the role of personnel leader where the manager is responsible for supervising, hiring, training, organising, coordinating and motivating a cadre of personnel to achieve the goals of the organisation.

Keywords: managerial roles; leaders; resource allocators; leadership; police districts; police managers; parallel roles; Norway; police forces; resource allocation; organisational goals; supervision; personnel hiring; staff training; personnel organisation; staff coordination; employee motivation; cadres; management; enterprise development.
