| dc.description.abstract | The underlying theoretical argument in this article views munici-
pal school superintendents in the Nordic context as middle man-
agers in organizational theory terminology. Empirical support
for this discussion emerges from national data collected among
Norwegian school superintendents in 2009. Findings show that
the actual work and leadership functions of Norwegian school
superintendents match theoretical properties of middle managers
fairly well. Findings also suggest school superintendents actively
mediate tensions embedded in the current Norwegian educational
policy stream. Specifically, central aims derived from account-
ability discourse are filtered out and translated into traditional
school-development and pedagogical-leadership discourse at the
local managerial level. | language |
