Evaluation of a supervisory training program with How Supervise?

Abstract

"A group of supervisors were tested before and after a training program with alternate forms of How Supervise? The group was subdivided by educational level. Although all groups improved significantly, the greatest gains were made by supervisors who had gone to college. Lower ranking subjects who had had previous training showed more improvement than the lower ranking subjects who had not had previous training, although the mean scores of the two groups were the same. It was suggested that the instrument is useful for assessing the effectiveness of a supervisory training program but that more work must be done on the readability of the test and on the meaning of score changes following a training program."
