Morphology

management + personnel

The phrase's meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'management' (those who run an organization) + 'personnel' (employees), so it refers to employees in managerial roles. This is a literal noun-noun combination and has clear equivalents in many languages, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

The phrase management personnel paints a picture of a small team of people who hold a map and steer the company's path, where management means guiding and personnel means the people. That's why it now means the group who 'plan', 'decide', and 'direct' the work in a company.
