Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is twofold: (1) to delineate the unique functions of the firstline supervisors and to guide them in how they can function effectively in the "real world" and (2) to inform managers on what performance they should expect from their subordinate supervisors and to guide them in achieving productive results from their workgroup. The role of a supervisor, as differentiated from that of a manager, often is very hazy in a multilevel organization. In some cases every level of management gets involved in supervision and duplicates the supervision function. Often these misuses of functions are justified on the basis of "Management by Walking Around," "Show of Interest and Concern with the Worker," etc. These management fads and euphemisms not only produce negative results, they will cause other deep-rooted problems for the organization. First, by managers doing the job of supervisors, managers do not have the time to perform their own managerial duties which are essential and distinctly different. Second, when an organization recognizes that managerial activities are not being performed, the organization creates additional levels of management -- causing the burden of unreasonable overhead costs. Third, the managers usurp the function of supervisors, not allowing the supervisors to learn and strengthen themselves. No amount of supervisory training is going to compensate for the lack of opportunity to perform. Fourth, at best these misuses of functions are going to create many duplications of effort. Organizations have to realize that supervision is different from managing and that each level requires a different set of skills and a different set of responsibilities. Various levels of the organization are not the result of outgrowth from the previous one. We truly do have levels if discontinuity in organizations. For example, when a worker gets promoted to supervisor, he or she must realize that this new position is different -- not only in superficial issues such as title, salary, benefits, perks, parking locations, etc., but also in the nature of the work. Supervision requires learning and performing supervisory skills. Also, when supervisors become managers, they have to recognize the level of discontinuity again. Managers are not glorified supervisors. Their function is substantially different, and they too have to learn and perform these different functions. One of the important realizations is to "let the supervisors supervise." This simple statement is the essence of success. Those who do not understand or practice that simple axiom are doomed to reap the results of their own doing. There is no other book available in the market that discusses these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the role of the supervisor from a performance management and control perspective. This investigation has two parts: (1) who to select as supervisor and (2) does the supervisor actually have an impact on subordinate performance. As many organizations have a structured supervision program in place that aims at developing employees, it is important to understand the determinants of the eligibility to act as supervisor. Therefore, I examine which competencies influence the likelihood of receiving the responsibilities and tasks that come with the supervisory role. I hypothesize that soft skills increase the employee's likelihood of becoming a supervisor as these are necessary to effectively communicate and transfer knowledge to subordinates. Next, I investigate if and to what extent the expected benefits from supervision are actually realized by the subordinates. The effectiveness of such supervision programs are especially important as knowledge and skills have to be passed on to the next generation of employees. Hence, I predict that the supervisors' ability and effort is a crucial factor that positively influences the performance of their subordinates. In addition, I identify a measure specifically capturing supervisor counselling ability, which enhance the transfer of the supervisor's general knowledge and skills. Using proprietary data from an international professional service provider, I find evidence confirming my predictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's constantly changing work environment is fraught with job uncertainty, frequent mergers and acquisitions, and a general breakdown of trust between employer and employee. More than ever, it is critical for managers to proactively shift away from devaluing employees as marginal capital to empowering them as human capital. Perceived organizational support-employees' perception of how much an organization values their contribution and cares about their well-being-mutually benefits both employees and their organizations and is integral to sustainable employer–employee relationships. Using organizational support theory and evidence gathered from hundreds of studies, Eisenberger and Stinglhamber demonstrate how perceived organizational support affects employees' well-being, the positivity of their orientation toward the organization and work, and behavioral outcomes favorable to the organization. The authors illustrate these findings with employee experiences and strategic approaches of major organizations such as Southwest Airlines, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Google. Organizational psychologists, management consultants, managers, and graduate students will obtain a clear understanding of perceived organizational support and the practical knowledge needed to foster its development and positive outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook will show how supervisors can ensure support staff to deliver quality services for people with disabilities whose quality of life is heavily dependent on how well those services are provided. Supervisors must ensure staff receive necessary training in their job duties, are actively supported to stay motivated to work proficiently and, at times, effectively assisted to improve their work performance. Supervisors have to overcome many challenges to fulfill these critical duties, often involving frequent changes in their staff work force and varying or limited resources. Complicating the job of staff supervisors is a lack of formal training necessary to perform their supervisory duties effectively. When supervisors do receive training in how to supervise staff work performance, the training is not always very useful. The training is frequently too general to equip supervisors with knowledge and skills to affect staff work performance on a routine basis. The training also is commonly based on unproven means of promoting quality staff performance, stemming from current fads or ideology that has little if any hard evidence to support the training content. Over the last five decades, a technology for supervising staff work performance in the human services has been evolving, derived from applied research conducted in many human service agencies. However, most supervisors have not had opportunities to become aware of these evidence-based means of fulfilling their supervisory duties. The purpose of The Supervisor’s Guidebook is to describe the existing evidence-based approach to supervision. Description of the approach is supplemented with practical suggestions based on the authors’ combined experience encompassing over 100 years of supervising staff performance in the human services. The intent is to provide supervisors with detailed information about tried and tested means of promoting diligent and proficient staff performance and to do so in a way that maximizes staff enjoyment with their work.

Book excerpt: After 33 years in the fire service, with 20 of those being responsible for others, Mike Kraus felt the obligation to pass the lessons he learned on to those who would follow in his footsteps. His motivation comes from the fact that the vast majority of what he learned about supervision, management, and leadership, was though his own experience, research, or observations - both good and bad - of others. Mike shares what he had to learn from the school of hard knocks. If he didn’t learn it, experience it, or practice it himself, he doesn’t share it. His purpose for writing this book is to give new and future bosses the foundation they need to be successful in their jobs, and to give present bosses the information they need to become more effective. His sincere desire is to inspire readers to be the best Supervisor, Manager, and Leader they can be, resulting in their organizations becoming more productive and successful.

Book excerpt: Social work supervision has been identified as one of the most important factors in determining the job satisfaction levels of social workers and the quality of service to clients. As an indirect but vital factor in the social work process, it is surprising that supervision has not received as much attention as other components of social work practice, such as social work research or administration. A book on social work supervision is desperately needed to bridge the gap between the demands of the field and the absence of literature. Social Work Supervision: Contexts and Concepts aims to provide readers with basic knowledge of theories, research, and practice of supervision. The book will address the needs of social work supervisors, frontline practitioners, students, and educators. The book is ideally suited as a text for graduate courses on social work supervision, as it contains a comprehensive literature review of the historical development, theories and models, and empirical research studies of the subject. Equally important, this is a book from practice experience in supervision that enhances the competence of supervisory practice. It will help social workers, supervisors, and administrators to realize and revitalize their "mission" in social work, that is, to benefit clients. Key Features: * Presents social work supervision as a rational, effective, and interactive process focusing on the whole person of the social worker * Discusses the history, the nature and definitions, and the theoretical models of social work supervision * Explores the major functions of social work supervision—administrative, educational, and supportive * Addresses the specific format and structure of supervision sessions

But what if you were asked to assume the supervisory duties of your department—tomorrow? Would you be ready for the job? Now, there’s a way to learn all of the things about managing that your boss never had the time to teach you. You’ll get straight answers to your most pressing questions about supervising in Martin M. Broadwell’s exciting new book, Moving Up to Supervision, 2nd Edition. Written by one of the foremost international consultants in supervisory training, this is the only book that directs itself specifically to helping the aspiring supervisor prepare for managerial responsibilities. Moving Up helps managers-to-be and supervisory trainees at every level. Well in advance, it prepares you for the often overwhelming demands of a "spur of the moment" promotion. And if you’ve already been promised your supervisor’s job, this practical guide will give you a valuable pre-supervisory training course. You’ll also find out how to work with the management potential you already have. This newly revised edition of Moving Up to Supervision now includes a chapter on "Things Employees Don’t Like about Supervisors" (based on interviews with hundreds of employees) as well as end-of-chapter discussion questions. Other "survival skills" covered here include: Understanding your role as supervisor and your contribution to the organization The hazards of being a supervisor How management selects supervisors Understanding human behavior Preparing for the supervisory role In addition, you’ll become adept at the essential skills necessary to build a superior department—one that upper management will notice. These skills include: appraising employees, delegating responsibility, communicating effectively, and training new personnel. The supervisor’s role is essentially to make sure the work gets done. In order to meet this responsibility, the new supervisor or potential supervisor needs all these skills at his/her fingertips. Moving Up to Supervision, 2nd Edition is the book you’ll be glad you have when this opportunity arises.
