Perception of Managerial Style as Definition of Self: A First Approach

Deana Grobe

Oregon State University

This article develops a theoretical model explicitly addressing managerial style as an important component in the day-to-dayfunctioning offamilies. Managerial style is defined as the unique, particularized manner of response reflecting the self-definition and values of afamily manager. This theoretical model suggests that managerial style has meaning with respect to how family managers view themselves and their managerial behavior within thefamily. This model provides ways of explaining the complexity of family management; the dynamic, social character of communication patterns; the importance of context, roles, and resources; and conflict resolution within families.
