Abstract
Transition of engineers into management is influenced by several factors. Based on an empirical study of engineers in Australia, a conceptual model of the transition is proposed in this paper. According to this model, individual, educational and organisational factors influence the process of transition and as well as each other, within the overarching influence of societal factors
