Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Staff managers use their specialized knowledge and expertise to provide advice and support to line workers who are directly involved in producing the organization's goods or delivering services. They do not directly contribute to producing the goods themselves, but play a supportive role in ensuring that the processes and systems are in place for line workers to do their jobs effectively. Nonprofit organizations may have staff managers, but this is not a defining characteristic of this type of organization. Staff managers are not appointed by stockholders or elect top managers.
