We relate the role description of a public value manager by Mark Moore with middle management research inspired by Floyd and Wooldridge. As a result of a case study we conceptualize critical experience of middle management and its antecedents in balancing different value dimensions. The conflict potential is seen less in managing different expectations from the top and the front line, but rather in enacting an integrative public value manager role itself which requires significant adaptive and value-balancing work customarily attributed to professional (private) leadership. - Reproduced.  aManager  aLabour market  aMetelmann, Jorg  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  aN  a86122  c86122d86122  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 32, Issue no: 3-4pAR86582r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
