Sentence examples for vertical manager from inspiring English sources

Being a vertical manager (OR 0.19; CI: 0.05, 0.84) and having a higher HIV M&E knowledge score (OR 1.22; CI: 0.99, 1.49) were predictive of higher degrees of authority over HIV data use (Table 3).

As Table 3 shows, horizontal managers, facility managers, and managers in Site A exercised higher degrees of authority over HIV data collation, while being a vertical manager, working at provincial level, having a postgraduate qualification or a higher M&E knowledge score were associated with exercising a higher degree of authority over HIV data use.

We hypothesise that vertical managers and those with higher management capacity and HIV M&E knowledge exercise more authority.

Linked to this should be clarity in allocation and application of their respective roles, as ignoring this can exacerbate confusion about how vertical managers should engage with horizontal management structures (18).
