Download or read book The Supervisor s Guidebook written by Dennis H. Reid and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 340 pages. 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: Around the world, hundreds of thousands of supervisors and leaders provide coaching, supervision and leadership to staff every day of the year, yet the majority of supervisors have never attended formal training about how to be an effective supervisor and leader.

Download or read book EFFICIENCY QUALITY THROUGH TRAINING written by Pramod Kumar Misra and published by Independent Author. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership portrays a significant part in any organization's accomplishments. The leadership position is illustrated whenever people operate in communities and is the central instrument by which a community area or substance frames and decides its needs and culture. By definition, modern initiative is a system of control, which includes a few significant capabilities like enabling, directing, organizing, and empowering the representatives. The rise of authoritative order recommends that initiative isn't really important for the structure flow but its unique value can be developed. Our world is changing continuously and a few decades back, the associations were employing chiefs and they were recruiting pioneers. Today, every supervisor is supposed not exclusively to be a powerful pioneer yet additionally a mentor and mentee. The construction industry is not an exception in this regard, especially concerning the frontline employees, i.e. supervisors and foremen. Supervisors in any construction project are expected to exert a positive influence over the daily performance of their workers. Thus, supervisory leadership is characterized as conduct planned to give direction, support, and coercive input for the day‐to‐day exercises of work unit individuals. This book is based on a research that aims to investigate such prevalent problems in the construction industry in India and examine the impact of supervisory leadership qualities. It presents a comprehensive strategy to identify and gauge the organizational performance (i.e. efficacy and work quality of the employees) via Employee Attitudinal Measures (EAM). Authority styles assume a significant part in deciding performance of the organization, particularly transformational and transactional leadership. Both these leadership styles are important indicators of organizational performance. More specifically, transactional leadership is seen as the accomplishment of organizational goals through a social exchange, while transformational leadership promotes the followers to explore situations differently and quickly react to these alternatives. Effective site-supervisory leadership skills in any construction industry can be a stimulus to the final business outcomes. These skills may include both attitudinal and behavioral traits, e.g. morale and organizational commitment, performance and work quality, and workplace inclusiveness and environment. This book attempts the following: 1. To study various leadership traits at the supervisory level that should be followed in a typical Indian construction company to improve its overall effectiveness. 2. To examine how supervisory leadership styles impact the employee attitudinal measures, e.g. morale, organizational commitment, performance, and work quality in the Indian construction industry. 3. To investigate deeply the level of influence and direction of the association-ship between Supervisory Leadership Practices (SLPs) and Employee Attitudinal Measures (EAMs). 4. To explore, suggest and implement an effective training program for a construction organization targeting the development of the leadership skills of supervisors in a complex working environment.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection written by Neal Schmitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of current research and practice, the purpose of this handbook is to provide an up-to-date profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource managers.
