Technical Competence of Group Leaders, Managerial Role, and Productivity in Engineering Design Groups
Abstract
This study focuses on nine group leaders of matched engineering design groups. A significant negative correlation was found between the group leaders' technical competence and their managerial role adoption. A strong positive correlation between managerial role adoption and group productivity was obtained. It is suggested that engineers with high technical competence tend to reject the role of manager.
