Managers’ Views of the Organisation

The first area examined here is the views of managers about the organisation within which they work, particularly of the policies and procedures that structure their work. In contrast to the view that managers accept organisational priorities and policies, the evidence from local managers interviewed in this study is that they are far from uncritical about the policy they have to implement, and most have major misgivings about the policy context within which they work.

The managers and assistant managers were interviewed in each team studied. The preceding chapter indicates that these two contexts involved organisational structures sufficiently different to require separate examination of the two sets of managers. The primary organisational difference is that, while the Older Persons Team (OPT) largely operates within the organisational context of the local authority, the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) operates in the overlapping context of Social Services and Health.
