Swedish term or phrase: linjerelation
Detta kommer från en text om ledarskap inom kommuner och termen förekommer endast en enda gång (utan någon ytterligare förklaring): kommunchefen ägnar sig åt en "ökad hantering av linjerelationer". Min gissning är att det handlar om relationer med personer på samma nivå som kommunchefen - alltså inte personer över eller under i hierarkin - men är inte alls säker.

  -> Thanks, Michael!

agree  Cynthia Coan: In the definition I've come across, "line relationship" refers to the relationship between a superior and a subordinate. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/business_management/bus...

  -> Right, I used the same reference, and came to the same conclusion. The Swe term refers to the boss' relationship(s) with their subordinates.
