- W121599695 abstract "This article reports on a study that explored the role of middle managers in executing organisational strategies in the local government sector. The study adopted a qualitative research method, using a local authority council (LAC) in Namibia as a case study. Interview information from ten middle managers, selected using purposive sampling, formed the basis of this study. A theoretical framework consisting of four research focus areas was used. The study found that middle managers interpret, communicate and translate organisational strategic goals into actions in their value-adding role as champions, synthesisers, facilitators and implementers. It also found communication and the availability of resources to be key enabling factors, whereas systems, structures, policies and communication channels are key processes impacting on the effective execution of corporate strategies. Furthermore, it found that resources, performance management systems and legislation are key tools. There is contrary evidence that suggests that some middle managers play a value-subtracting role. Further research is necessary to gain in-depth insights into the different roles of middle managers and their influence on strategy formulation and execution versus the role of senior managers. This article is of value to the LAC in that top management formulates organisational strategic goals, with middle managers having little involvement in this process. The recorded views of middle managers indicate that there is a gap between the agenda setting and leadership of top managers and the observed roles of middle managers. Middle managers in the LAC fulfil specific value-adding roles and utilise key enablers, processes and tools to help execute strategy." @default.
