The relationship between aggression and managerial effectiveness was investigated using a sample of 86 middle managers. Aggression was measured using the Personality Research Form, and superiors were asked to rate 86 middle-managers' effectiveness on five dimensions. Aggression of middle managers was positively correlated with group task accomplishment and managers' over-all effectiveness and negatively correlated with their potential for advancement to a top management position. The latter might indicate that superiors perceive a greater need for aggression at the middle-management level than at the executive level. Ability to lead and motivate subordinates was not related to aggression
