metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is dedicated to the analysis of line managers’ role and position in modern Russian business society, as well as the membership of line managers in the socio — professional group of managers. Line managers were considered as the owners of specific capital
  (physical, human, social and administrative), distinctive for managers’ group. The author
  focuses on administrative capital as the most important management authority indicator.
  The empirical part of the work was based on the results of a standardized survey of 1116 line
  managers in 400 organizations from 11 industries. The results indicated that modern Russian managers have high levels of physical, human, social capital, and, moreover, quite a
  high level of administrative capital that is close to middle and top levels. Line managers
  have significant authority in terms of control, organization, and planning, as well as fairly
  high power in HR and finances compared to the results of previous studies. The results
  demonstrated the evolution of a line manager from supervisor to a full-fledged manager
  with a higher level of education, salary, authority, and social status. Therefore, line managers
  can be assigned to the socio-professional group of managers and line managers should be
  included in research on social and managerial topics. Moreover, they should be investigated
  as an independent phenomenon. Line managers can become a fundamental potential in the
  struggle for a competitive advantage during a crisis and an unstable economy, they deserve
  attention from both the scientific and business sphere.
