Question

Explain any four points of importance of supervision.

Answer 1

• The supervisor maintains day-to-day contact and friendly relations with the subordinates. A good supervisor functions as a guide, friend and philosopher to the workers.
• The supervisor acts as a link between employees and management. On one hand, he conveys the ideas of the management to the workers, and on the other hand, he conveys the problems of the employees to the management. This role played by supervisor helps to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts between the management and the employees of the organisation.
• The supervisor plays an important role in maintaining unity among the employees placed under his control. He resolves internal differences and maintains harmony among his subordinates.
• The supervisor ensures appropriate performance of work according to the predetermined targets. He takes responsibility for the accomplishment of the task and motivates his subordinates effectively.
