Management works hard to give direction to the Business, while the employee works hard to support his function.

Thanks for invitation,

In my opinion, both have to work hard, in order to achieving the organization's vision, missions and strategic plan, "Management" in planning, organizing, following up & leading and controlling.Whereas Employees in executing what are already been planned by management.

I believe both sides work hard enough. However, the activity on the employee's side is focused on physical side mostly. Whereas the strain on the management side is on the mental activities.

These two work aspects/responsibilities cannot be compared.

The difference between the two occupational groups can be found in the level of responsibility.

Management has to do with the strategic and/or operational management of an organisation/company which entails implementing an organisations/company’s vision and mission and policies. Further to this managers needs to ensure that budgets, operational targets etc. gets met.

Ordinary employees mainly have only a few specific tasks to complete with little or no subordinates, whereby managers needs a diverse knowledge and have many subordinates to manage.

Every person (ordinary employee or manager) have a task to for fill and are equally important. A manager cannot do his/her work without ordinary employees and an organisation/company will fail without competent employees.

The variances in salary is determined by the level of responsibility and not the volume of work, if that was a concern in asking this question.

I have been lucky to be in both potitions.

So from my experience i have to say that both work hard. 

Employees have more physical task where management are more mentally challenged.

Put it like this, the employee will be task oriented, focussed to only complete the task at hand. And justifiable at the end of the day he/she is exhausted from ensuring that the task is completed.

Now the manager, has to draw up plan, identify the tasks that needs to be completed, give a timeline to his line manager and has to ensure that all tasks will be completed - meaning that resources, materials, time, money, people are all in place in order to execute these tasks.

During the task execution, there are still a barrage of meetings taking place for the rest of the business. After completion of the tasks, the manager must still compile a report and send it on the his line manager, give reasons for budget constraints, timelines etc. So he is not doing so much physical work, but emotionally he is just as exhausted if not more at the end of the day.

Employees are the pillors of the organisation.

The employees play the key role in the managment of any organisatin (leadership charaters,coordination,cooperation,timely output,quality, quantity etc.

Employer are the hard workers ,who makes the organisation to to the standard level.

without the hard work of the employees the managment won t come up

i dont think anyone can answer that.  Every individual performs differently.  There re some on the top who dont do anything but just pass around, procrastinate and have a ball but some do work very hard.  And the same could be true with others at the ground level or field.  some look busy and do nothing and others do a lot but work smart so dont look busy.
