Synopsis

This book explores the factors that influence how engineering supervisors, referred to as section heads, allocate their time. The author, through research in a national electronics firm, examines four primary areas: the supervisor's personal interests and career goals, the supervisor's perception of their superior's expectations, the perceived requirements of the job role, and certain characteristics of the organization, such as the size of the section being supervised. The author finds that a supervisor's allocation of time is closely related to their personal interests and their perception of what their superior wants them to do, and that the size of the section being supervised also has a significant impact. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex decision-making processes involved in time management for engineering supervisors and have implications for the effective utilization of engineering and scientific personnel in organizations.
