In today's enterprises, the complexity and enlargement of the field of the work has led the organization to be specialized, and it makes the communication and the unity more difficult between the posts. Furthermore, the overflowing of informations and knowledges, which is caused by the sudden change of the industrial society, has had an important and direct affect to the manager's behavior and decision.
We can see the importance of the middle manager's position in that (1) he has to harmonize not between the top manager and workers so much as between the other middle managers accomplishing their other parts. (2) he has to exchange and hold in common the other part's information and knowledge in the process of the harmonization. (3) he has to make a diagnose and develope the plan for the solution of it, as an organization integrator. In addition to these, the middle manager's job requires the persuading, negotiating, and adjusting skill for other people's action.
Therefore, this study is based on the recognition that middle manager's role becomes significant in accordance with the management specialization and it is made so that the relations of the middle manager's role, function, responsibility, and authority may be clear and the middle manager's role be built up concretely as a coordinator and negotiator, linking the upper part with the lower part, not as a mere supervisor.
But the responsibility and duty of this class is really unclean. The unbalance between its responsibility and authority gives rise to many problems. The condition of the middle manager is risky, which is caused by the change of the organization This ultimately acts as a cause of impediment and gives a serious effect on the growth of enterprises. So the key manipulating the effectiveness of the organization is correcting the role and function of the middle manager, not only as the bridge of the top management and the lower management but also as a responsible person who contributes to the development of the enterprise with the subordernite's ability concentrated.
