There has been some articles and work done in this area. So where do you see yourself as a referee?
In its purest form a game manager 'bends' the laws of the game and where possible ignores them to control the game and make the game 'playable' and 'enjoyable'. They use interpersonal skills to interact with players to resolve conflict and avoid confrontations.
On the opposite end, a pure law enforcer applies the laws of the game in its complete form. Players are responsible for their own action, any conflicts or confrontations and any indiscretion are punished according to the law. Its not the referee's job to 'control' players.
