peer agreement (net): +10middle manager Explanation: La suddivisione delle categorie di lavoro in Italia dovrebbe essere: dirigenti, quadri, impiegati e operai. La categoria dei quadri è costituita dai prestatori di lavoro subordinato che, pur non appartenendo alla categoria dei dirigenti, svolgono funzioni con carattere continuativo di rilevante importanza ai fini dello sviluppo e dell’attuazione degli obiettivi dell’impresa. I quadri hanno avuto riconoscimento formale soltanto con la legge n. 190 del 1985. Si tratta di lavoratori che dipendono direttamente dall'imprenditore o dai dirigenti, che svolgono attività di rilevante importanza ai fini dello sviluppo e dell'attuazione degli obiettivi dell'impresa. Caratteri distintivi della categoria sono, per la giurisprudenza, la gestione diretta ed autonoma dei rapporti con i terzi e la responsabilità gestionale e di budget sulle funzioni demandate. Altri requisiti sono fissati dalla contrattazione collettiva, cui la legge 190 aveva espressamente demandato l'individuazione dei requisiti necessari per l'appartenenza alla categoria. http://managementhelp.org/mgmnt/defntion.htm In a traditional sense, large organizations may have different levels of managers, including top managers, middle managers and first-line managers. Top (or executive) managers are responsible for overseeing the whole organization and typically engage in more strategic and conceptual matters, with less attention to day-to-day detail. Top managers have middle managers working for them and who are in charge of a major function or department. Middle managers may have first-line managers working for them and who are responsible to manage the day-to-day activities of a group of workers. Note that you can also have different types of managers across the same levels in the organization. A project manager is in charge of developing a certain project, e.g., development of a new building. (See Project Planning.) A functional manager is in charge of a major function, such as a department in the organization, e.g., marketing, sales, engineering, finance, etc. (For example, see Program Planning) A product manager is in charge of a product or service. Similarly, a product line manager is in charge of a group of closely related products. (See Product/Service Management.) General managers are in charge of numerous functions within an organization or department. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2010-08-25 05:44:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It also depends on the industry. However, quadri are managers of some sort, but not the top ones. You could also call them senior staff. In a contract though, I'd go for a classical definition, ie 'middle manager' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day17 hrs (2010-08-26 22:51:03 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- My pleasure, Luke.
