This study examines the span of control, the scope of responsibilities and the perception of effectiveness of first-line managers (nurse and non-nurse) in two complex health care organizations. Results suggested first-line nurse managers had larger spans of control, fewer assistants and made less money than non-nurse first-line managers.
