Abstract

The aim of this paper is to use a social identity approach to obtain a better understanding of what underlies the engagement strategies that Doctor-Managers (DMs) use when interacting with their clinical colleagues. This paper draws on social identity theory to examine the processes by which DMs construct and attach meaning to their hybrid professional identity. Interviews were conducted with 18 DMs. The findings show DMs emotions influence how they shape the DM role within the organisation. This research highlights that a better organisation of the DM role is needed in terms of position descriptions and in terms of essential and desired skill set requirements for the dual role.
