Content Theory - Minzberg (1973): “Facts of managerial life”

Managers’ success depends upon the subordinates’ tacit willingness to comply. This depends on four factors:

1. Understanding communications from superior
2. Communications matching the objectives of the firm
3. Individual’s compliance needs to match personal interest
4. Individual needs to be able to carry out instruction
