“…The professional cultures of medicine and management are distinct and potentially attributable to their different historical origins. Prior to the introduction of dedicated administrators and hospital workplaces, clinicians were fully autonomous and self-directed (Fernández Pérez, 2021; Garrick and Jeffery, 1987; Imhof, 1977). The introduction of bureaucrats into the medical workplace has spurred complaints, as many clinicians prefer to operate within their own standards in a self-determined manner as they have done for centuries (Mechanic, 1976; Sartirana et al.…”

PurposeThe authors explored clinical staff perceptions of their interactions with middle management and their experiences of the uncongeniality of their working environment.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews of clinical staff from an Australian public health service's Emergency, Surgery and Psychiatry departments. Volunteer interview transcripts were inductively coded using a reflexive thematic content analysis.FindingsOf 73 interviews, 66 participants discussed their interactions with management. Most clinicians considered their interactions with middle management to be negative based on a violation of their expectations of support in the workplace. Collectively, these interactions formed the basis of clinical staff perceptions of management's lack of capacity and fit for the needs of staff to perform their roles.Practical implicationsStrategies to improve management's fit with clinicians' needs may be beneficial for reducing uncongenial workplaces for healthcare staff and enhanced patient care.Originality/valueThis article is among the few papers that discuss interactions with management from the perspective of clinical staff in healthcare. How these perspectives inform the perception of workplace uncongeniality for clinicians contributes greater understanding of the factors contributing to adversarial relationships between clinicians and managers.
