- Abstract
Problem: the are various universal methods or models for evaluating first level managers, but we lacking the model, that would determine first level managers' relevance in management chain (MLM--FLM-- SUB), together with ensuring sustainable functioning of management chain (MLM--FLM--SUB). Research subject -- first level managers' relevance in management chain (MLM--FLM--SUB). Research aim: to build a model for determining first level managers' relevance in management chain MLM--FLM--SUB), which would help to reveal the characteristics of determining first level managers' relevance. In order to achieve research aim, these tasks were formulated: To reason the need of determining first level managers' relevance in management chain, to describe the methodology and to build a model. Research methods: * In order to solve the research problem in theoretical level the analysis of the scientific literature, summarizing and comparing was employed. * Modelling method was used to build the first level managers' relevance in management chain determination model. * There are many opportunities in the region that could be employed in a better way. Highly qualified work force and the objective of maximizing existing potential (employing available workforce and equipment in best possible way -- particularly in the industrial areas) are only some of them. This forms a solid foundation for cooperation between scientific research and knowledge transfer areas within the region. High level of employment, good quality jobs, skilled and adaptable workforce -- these are key factors in regional competitiveness as well as attractiveness. This provides the regions with many useful opportunities for co-operation and promotes growth. After the analysis of the scientific literature, summarizing and comparing main aim was achieved - methodology was prepared and the first level managers' relevance in management chain (MLM-FLM-SUB) determination model was built, which helps us to reveal the characteristics of determining first level managers' relevance. In order to effectively lead the people, basics skills and values are not enough for the first level managers. A tight relationship and relevance is needed between mid-level manager, first level manager and subordinates in management chain (MLM-FLM-SUB), so that organizational objectives and the means of achieving them were generally understood. For maximum result, each employee in management chain (MLM-FLM- SUB) should coordinate his activities in work process with other participants. The methodology proposed nonprobability sampling method of selected (consisting of mid-level manager, first level manager and subordinates) units - clustering. First level managers' relevance in management chain determination methodology is characterized by variety of research (quantitative and qualitative) and approach (conducted cross-examination of mid-level, first level managers and subordinates) methods. First level managers' relevance in management chain is evaluated with the help of instrumentarium according to these criteria: personality traits, skills and skill development as well as values. When collecting and processing research data combined quantitative and qualitative (triangulation) methods are being used. This helps to highlight different aspects of the same phenomenon, as a causal dependent and independent variable relationship. The model reveals how assessors (mid-level manager (MLM), first level manager (FLM) and subordinates (SUB) in the same management chain (MLM-FLM-SUB)) evaluate first level manager's criteria (personality traits, skills and skill development, values) and determine first level manager's relevance for working in specific management chain (MLM-FLM-SUB). For mutual understanding and sustainable work between different links in management chain - mid-level manager, first level manager and subordinates one of two conditions must be satisfied: the assessment of the situation must comply (the self-evaluation must match with the evaluation of others). If evaluations do not match, partners must try to understand and justify each other.
