ABSTRACT

The role of managers in manufacturing companies is critical for ensuring efficient operations and achieving organizational goals. This literature review aims to identify and analyze the ideal characteristics of managers in manufacturing companies by synthesizing existing research and theoretical perspectives. The review examines various dimensions of managerial effectiveness, including leadership styles, communication skills, decision-making abilities, technical knowledge, and interpersonal competencies. Additionally, it explores the impact of these characteristics on employee engagement, productivity, and overall organizational performance. The findings highlight the significance of managers who possess a combination of technical expertise and effective leadership skills, such as transformational or participative leadership styles. Moreover, the review emphasizes the importance of strong communication skills, adaptability, problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to foster a positive work environment. The implications of these findings suggest that organizations should prioritize the recruitment, development, and training of managers with these ideal characteristics to enhance manufacturing operations and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Further research avenues are suggested to explore the contextual factors that may influence the relevance and effectiveness of these ideal managerial characteristics in different manufacturing settings. Overall, this literature review contributes to a deeper understanding of the ideal characteristics of managers in manufacturing companies, providing valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize managerial performance and drive organizational success.
