Abstrakt: This article describes how managerial roles change in importance during periods of significant organizational transition. An interdisciplinary approach reveals that (1) the competing values framework is a useful framework for examining this question; (2) the transformational roles increase as expected during downsizing; (3) three of four transactional roles also increase during downsizing. This last counterintuitive finding is illuminated by the interdisciplinary model developed. Overall, managers show significant evidence of hyper-effectivity--a state of high performance that is likely to be unsustainable in the long term. Implications for human resource practitioners and researchers are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
