    • Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες η ποιότητα έχει γίνει αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της καθημερινότητας στον βιομηχανικό κλάδο. Έτσι, τόσο η διασφάλιση ποιότητας (QA) όσο και ο ποιοτικός έλεγχος (QC) των προϊόντων αποτελούν μεγάλο μέρος της δομής και της λειτουργίας των εταιρειών. Από μικρές έως μεγαλύτερες επιχειρήσεις, τα τμήματα QC διασφαλίζουν ότι η εν λόγω ποιότητα διατηρείται κατά τη διάρκεια της παραγωγής, πριν από την απελευθέρωση καθώς και κατά τη διάρκεια ζωής των προϊόντων τους, ακολουθώντας τα απαραίτητα πρότυπα και διαδικασίες. Για να λειτουργήσει σωστά και ομαλά ένα τμήμα σαν αυτό, όχι μόνο χρειάζεται κατάλληλο προσωπικό αλλά και κατάλληλο μέντορα - κάποιον που θα ξέρει πώς να κρατά τις ισορροπίες, να ελέγχει, να διαχειρίζεται και να συμβουλεύει την ομάδα. Ένα άτομο που θα κερδίσει τον σεβασμό μέσα από τη γνώση, αλλά και τις πράξεις. Ιδανικά, κάποιος που εκτός από μάνατζερ μπορεί να χαρακτηριστεί και ηγέτης. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία στοχεύει να περιγράψει τον ρόλο ενός μάνατζερ σε τμήματα ποιοτικού ελέγχου των βιομηχανιών καθώς και να σχολιάσει τη σχέση με τους υφισταμένους του/της. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η μελέτη εστιάζει στον τομέα του ποιοτικού ελέγχου και ειδικότερα στα εργαστήρια που απασχολούν χημικούς και τεχνολόγους τροφίμων. Η μελέτη περιλαμβάνει τη χρήση ερωτηματολογίου, στο οποίο απάντησαν άτομα που εργάζονται σε χώρους που αποτελούν αντικείμενο μελέτης αυτής της διατριβής. Τα αποτελέσματα αναλύονται με τη χρήση περιγραφικών και επαγωγικών στατιστικών μεθόδων για την εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων σχετικά με τις αντιλήψεις των εργαζομένων για τους ανωτέρους τους. Αυτό που κάνει αυτή τη μελέτη να ξεχωρίζει είναι ο στόχος της να αναδείξει τις βασικές δεξιότητες που πρέπει να διαθέτει ένας μάνατζερ καθώς και τη σωστή στάση απέναντι στους υφισταμένους του/της και να δώσει κίνητρα για περαιτέρω μελέτη και έρευνα πάνω στο θέμα.
    • In the last decades, quality has become an integral part of everyday life. Thus, in the industry, both quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of products constitute a large part of the structure and operation of companies. From small to larger businesses, QC departments ensure that said quality is maintained during the production, prior to the release as well as during the life of their products, following the necessary standards and procedures. In order to operate properly and smoothly a department like this, not only does it need suitable staff but also a suitable mentor - someone who will know how to keep the balances, control, manage and advise the team. A person who will gain respect through knowledge, as well as actions. Ideally, someone who, in addition to being a manager, can also be described as a leader. The present dissertation aims to describe the role of a manager in quality control departments at industries as well as comment on the relationship with his/her subordinates. More specifically, the study focuses on the field of quality control and in particular, laboratories that employ chemists and food technologists. The study includes the use of a questionnaire, which was answered by people working in places that concerning this dissertation. The results are analyzed using descriptive and inductive statistics to draw conclusions about employees' perceptions of their superiors. What makes this study stand out is its aim to highlight the key skills that a manager should possess as well as the proper attitude towards his/her subordinates and to provide incentives for further study and research on the subject.
