Mintzberg’s roles of monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson are all related to which managerial responsibility?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating Mintzberg’s managerial roles, it helps to categorize the roles by the type of information or activity they primarily involve.
Option A: informational. This aligns with the monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson roles because each of these involves processing and communicating information: monitoring involves scanning for information, disseminating involves sharing information with others, and spokesperson involves conveying information to outsiders. All three are centered on handling information, so this is the correct grouping.
Option B: intrapersonal. This term refers to internal, self-focused processes like self-talk or inner planning, which do not capture the external information flow typical of the three roles in question.
Option C: controlling. Although control activities can involve information, the three roles specified are not primarily about control or enforcing standards; they’re about information management and communication rather than command and control actions.
Option D: interpersonal. Interpersonal roles deal with people and relationships (figurehead, leader, liaison). While the dissemination and spokesperson tasks involve communication with others, the core labeling of this group as informational emphasizes information processing rather than the relational aspects.
Option E: decisional. Decisional roles center on making choices (entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, negotiator). The monitor, disseminator, and spokesperson roles do not primarily express decision-making authority, so this option misaligns with their core function.
