organisation. The effective implementation of the plans and policies, the quality of workmanship
quality of output and over all success of the organisation very much depend on the hard labour,
discipline and loyalty of the personnel at this level of management. Further, this level of
manage-
ment represents the workers before the higher management and the higher echelons of manage-
ment to the workers.
As the supervisor is the immediate boss of the workers, the workers look to him for orders
policies, instructions, guidance, encouragement, increased pay etc. The success of the supervisor
depends on the preference of the workers, their co-operation, their ungrudging effort, their satis-

management
for orders, policy information, help and guidance.
