This study explores the link between forms of organisation and managerial work and seeks to answer questions which have hitherto been neglected in studies of managerial work: To what extent is what managers are expected to do and their intended functions influenced by organisational context in terms of institutional arrangements for the management of managers' work? To what extent are managers' work activities influenced by organisational context?
