| Tiivistelmä: | This paper discusses literature, that suggests that organizational performance is heavily influenced by the middle of the organization, rather than the top of it. The UK National Health Service is examined, and role theory is used to conceptualize changing experiences of middle managers in organizations as a role transition. It is shown that there are limiting factors to a more strategic role for middle managers associated with the professional bureaucracy context. |
