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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the factors that influence how engineering supervisors, referred to as section heads, allocate their time. The author, through research in a national electronics firm, examines four primary areas: the supervisor's personal interests and career goals, the supervisor's perception of their superior's expectations, the perceived requirements of the job role, and certain characteristics of the organization, such as the size of the section being supervised. The author finds that a supervisor's allocation of time is closely related to their personal interests and their perception of what their superior wants them to do, and that the size of the section being supervised also has a significant impact. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex decision-making processes involved in time management for engineering supervisors and have implications for the effective utilization of engineering and scientific personnel in organizations.
