The consultant manager has been described as a complex profession with requirements from three directions (consultants, own managers and clients). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether consulting managers perceive their psychosocial work environment differently from a typical middle management role (which only has requirements from staff and their own managers). Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to see which dimensions in the psychosocial work environment had the greatest impact on middle managers' perceived health and well-being. Through a quantitative study, a multiple variance analysis and a multiple regression analysis were performed. Part of the digital version of Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire 2 (COPSOQ 2) was used as a measuring instrument. The questionnaire was sent by mail to 22 consulting managers and 25 middle managers. The data collection generated 40 questionnaires distributed among 20 of each professional group analyzed. The results showed no difference between the professional groups in perceived psychosocial work environment. The analysis of the multiple regression analysis showed that the dimension requirements in the work could largely explain the variance in perceived health.

Konsultchef har beskrivits som ett komplext yrke då man har krav från tre håll (konsulter, egna chefer och kunder). Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om konsultchefer upplever sin psykosociala arbetsmiljö annorlunda än en typisk mellanchefsroll (som enbart har krav från personal och egna chefer). Vidare var syftet med denna studie att se vilka dimensioner i psykosocial arbetsmiljö som hade störst påverkan på mellanchefers upplevda hälsa och välbefinnande. Genom en kvantitativ studie har en multipel variansanalys och en multipel regressionsanalys genomförts. Som mätinstrument användes en del av den digitala versionen av Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire 2 (COPSOQ 2). Enkäten skickades via mail till 22 konsultchefer och 25 mellanchefer. Datainsamlingen genererade 40 enkätsvar fördelade på 20 av varje yrkesgrupp som analyserades. Resultaten visade ingen skillnad mellan yrkesgrupperna på upplevd psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Analysen av den multipla regressionsanalysen visade att dimensionen krav i arbetet till störst del kunde förklara variansen i upplevd hälsa.
