Abstract

This study aims at understand how individuals construct their managerial identity during the first year as a manager. Data collect was done by semi-structured interviews and drawing construction with six “new managers”, a subordinate and a top manager of each one. Assume a new identity requires thinking, feeling and evaluate as a manager in a specific context. All of them had to learn what means to be a manager. Finally, the fight against their tensions and emotions are more implicit than explicit in the words of the new managers, although sometimes the fears and tensions come to the fore.
