Citation Harvey J, Annandale E, Loan-Clarke J, Suhomlinova O, Teasdale N. Mobilising identities: the shape and reality of middle and junior managers working lives - a qualitative study. Health Services and Delivery Research 2014; 2(11) Authors' objectives To chart the work of middle and junior clinical and non-clinical managers; to describe how their identities are constructed and shape the performance of their roles; to explore how they mobilise their identities to achieve effectiveness. Authors' conclusions Many respondents struggled with their identities as managers. Given that a strong identity is associated with uncertainty reduction and employee strengthening, more work is needed to improve how positive identities can be fostered both among managers themselves and amongst those with whom they interact. To fully comprehend the relationship between self-perceived identities and how managers carry out their work it is recommended that future research gives attention not only to variation across but also within primary categories and work groups.
