MIDDLE MANAGEMENT’S PIVOTAL ROLE

Abstract

The impact of structural change is being substantially felt in middle management, with many commentators prepared to write off this tier of management. Explores the changing role of the middle manager and the implications for Human Resource Management. Drawing on two research programmes argues against the general view and suggests middle management is pivotal to HRM.
