MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This study presents a simple microeconomic model of micromanagement and develops a framework and survey to measure/quantify micromanagement tendencies in the workplace. The presented model of micromanagement suggests that micromanagement stems mainly from the discrepancies between the managers’ and employees’ valuations of managerial interventions, where micromanagement is suboptimal and budget-ineffective. The subsequently developed survey seems to have a good potential for large-scale use in a single workplace or across workplaces/economic sectors, waiting for academic cooperation of scholars.
