Factors Influencing the Organization of Work in a Fish Processing Industrial Enterprise

‘When the boat comes in’: An empirical study of leadership as emerging activities at Greenlandic fish factories

“…Middle managers can be highly ranked in the organizational hierarchy but by contrast, top managers are often members of the executive team (Lansu et al, 2020;Pfister et al, 2017) Through an analysis of how leadership emerges in daily interactions among various organizational actors, the research makes an original contribution to a knowledge gap about middle management activities as a bricolage practice (Do Vale et al, 2021). Middle managers activities are often reduced to activities of supervision, e.g., being responsible for employees to follow and comply work standards, proper use of machines and monitoring workers during production (Olkiewicz et al, 2020;William-Carawan, 2003). How leadership is practiced by middle managers has gained less attention, despite middle managers are in a position where they can make change happen, since they are in close contact with top managers and at the same time closely involved with employees while organizing daily tasks (Blankenburg Holm et al, 2020;Henriksen et al, 2021;Lansu et al, 2020).…”
