Question

Can somebody please answer that question for me? I need it for a homework assignment.

Answer 1

A manager is an employee!

The same as any employee, he has a JOB to perform. Typically a Manager supervises the workers to ensure that the work is being done, first of all, and second of all, being done is a cost efficient manner. A manager's JOB therfore is being able to best utlilize his resources in order to make the most profit for the company.

The manager will hire employees, ensure they are trained, and will be responsible for ensuring that his employees are performing upto the standards expected by the company.
A good manager realizes that it is important to be a LEADER, rather than just bark orders all day long to his subordinate employees. A leader will motivate and inspire and develop his team to perform at their best by showing them
WHY the work they are doing is important and also, that THEY are important. A Manager should develop his staff to become better over time.

A manager is also reponsible for providing regular feedback and discipline to his employee explains. The manager may have an annual or semi-annual performance evaluation where he sits down with the employee and explains to the employee what he/she is doing right, and what needs to improve.

A manager first and foremost manages PEOPLE, and therefore in this day and age, should have excellent people skills in order to lead and persuade his employees!!

A manger often has to perpare budgets to show HIS boss how he is utilizing his resources to the best benefit of the company. If the manager has staff that he can't control, and they don;t do their work, or work tons of overtime, then that is what the manager is evaluated on by his managers.

A manager is typically a decison maker.

An employee on the other hand, goes into work and performs the job as he is told to do by the manager. As a general rule, the employee only has to concentrate on his own work, he is not evaluated by how well he is saving the company money.
A typical employee doesn't make decisions about how and what the company can or should do in the future.

Manager And Employee

Answer 5

Management comprises directing and controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of coordinating and harmonizing that group towards accomplishing a goal. Management often encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. Management can also refer to the person or people who perform the act(s) of management.

The verb manage comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle — especially a horse), which in turn derives from the Latin manus (hand). The French word mesnagement (later ménagement) influenced the development in meaning of the English word management in the 17th and 18th centuries.[1]

Management has to do with power by position, whereas leadership involves power by influence[citation needed]. Compare stewardship.

Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979).

In a commercial setting, the employer conceives of a productive activity, generally with the intention of creating profits, and the employee contributes labour to the enterprise, usually in return for payment of wages.

Employment also exists in the public, non-profit and household sectors.

In the United States, the standard employment contract is considered to be at-will meaning that the employer and employee are both free to terminate the employment at any time and for any cause, or for no cause at all. However, if a termination of employment by the employer is deemed unjust by the employee, there can be legal recourse to challenge such a termination. In unionised work environments in particular, employees who are receiving discipline, up to and including termination of employment can ask for assistance by their shop steward to advocate on behalf of the employee. If an informal negotiation between the shop steward and the company does not resolve the issue, the shop steward may file a grievance, which can result in a resolution within the company, or mediation or arbitration, which are typically funded equally both by the union and the company. In non-union work environments, in the United States, unjust termination complaints can be brought to the United States Department of Labor. In the Canadian province of Ontario, formal complaints can be brought to the Ministry of Labour (Ontario). In the province of Quebec, grievances can be filed with the Commission des normes du travail.

To the extent that employment or the economic equivalent is not universal, unemployment exists.

Employment is almost universal in capitalist societies. Opponents of capitalism such as Marxists oppose the capitalist employment system, considering it to be unfair that the people who contribute the majority of work to an organization do not receive a proportionate share of the profit. However, the Surrealists and the Situationists were among the few groups to actually oppose work, and during the partially surrealist-influenced events of May 1968 the walls of the Sorbonne were covered with anti-work graffiti.

Labourers often talk of "getting a job", or "having a job". This conceptual metaphor of a "job" as a possession has led to its use in slogans such as "money for jobs, not bombs". Similar conceptions are that of "land" as a possession (real estate) or intellectual rights as a possession (intellectual property). The Online Etymology Dictionary explains that the origin of "job" is from the obsolete phrase "jobbe of work" in the sense of "piece of work", and most dictionaries list the Middle English "gobbe" meaning "lump" (gob) as the origin of "jobbe". Attempts to link the word to the biblical character Job seem to be folk etymology.[citation needed]
