THE BASIC ROLES OF MANAGER IN BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
Management is the
act of getting people together to accomplish shared goals and make effective
and efficient use of available resources. Since organizations can be viewed as
systems, management can also be defined as human action to facilitate the
production of useful outcomes from a system. This view includes how workers can
"manage" themselves and how self-management can be seen as a prerequisite
for effective management of other people [4].
Nowadays
management conceptions are
concentrated rather on showing the inferior the direction than on tight
control. Although the level of
knowledge, necessary for effective job processing, has lately enormously increased and methods of its accomplishing
are often different, the main purpose
of manager became the same – managing in a such way, that hitherto prevailing quantity and quality of production could be sustained
by keeping up good interhuman relationships
in the enterprice.
Manager performs
many various roles in business organization.
Very often they arise as a result of existence of certain behavior patterns which function in external and internal environment
of the company and are related
with position of a given person in the organization’s structure [2].
The manager
is the life of the organization. The manager ensure that the organization
perform to expectation, he must also ensure that the firm archive it purpose
and goals, to do this the manager perform certain roles and duties ,this
include organizing controlling ,directing coordinating and leading. The manager
may be the entrepreneur, sometimes he may not be, however, at all-times the
manager must aggregate the resources of the firm to attain the firm’s goals and
objectives of the firm
The manager
to be able to carry on this duties he must posses certain skills this include
interpersonal skill, people skill, Conceptual Skills, People Skills, Technical
Skills etc Some managers demonstrate these skills very strongly while others
only demonstrate it fairly. There are basically three levels of management
within the business organization; these include the top management, the middle
management and the lower management.
The various
skills and duties of the manager is performed at different level of management
.this study explore the roles, the skills and the functions of the manager at
various levels of the organization. It also explores the performance
contribution of each of the skills and roles to the health and goals attainment
of the organization[3].
The way of
fulfilling the social role by the person depends both on subjective factors, his
personality traits, the personality as well as on objective, outside factors in
the relation to him. It is possible to point out here two approaches to
determinants of thefulfilling of the roles by the given manager:
– individualistic
approach – where the person’s individual features are influencing the
specification of him according to his position in the team and the content of
his roles, and so the manager has influence on shaping the situation in which
he is located but what effects he/she is reaching depends on the general
ability to wield managerial duties chiefly,
– situation theory –
according to which it is the objective situation that influences the management
style, the quality, effects of directing, for fulfilling the managerial roles,
because the situation requires the determined decision and individual features
are leaving for the other plan here.
Both theories are
not staying in the contradiction in reality since working of the
manager refers to various contexts.
Because he has bigger influence on the situation in which he is operating he
has a bigger power, he has the more important role or the high office position
in the organizational structure of the given company. It refers to influence on
his direct, nearest environment, i.e. for the company and the internal context
of his functioning [1].
The economic growth
and dynamics of the environment influence the evolution of manager’s
roles. It is possible to separate among
objective, outside conditioning
of managers’ roles the five basic
factors which exert bigger and bigger influence on the manager’s activity. They
are the following:
– broad institutional perspective;
– widening geographical limits and
political perspectives;
– information challenge;
– growing complexity of the company as
the system of action;
– the variety and variability of
requests in the relation to the company
[2].
Nowadays
the managerial roles have widened, became more complicated, active and creative.
Managers, who want to administrate enterprises in an appropriate way must be up
to the mark, fulfill more and more functions and play on many stages. They
should be flexible, be able to adapt themselves to different situations and
play many roles, change roles, adapt them and even create the roles, because
the internal and external contexts of company’s functioning are constantly
changing.
