Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between self- (n = 107), supervisor (n = 107), and subordinate (n = 495) ratings of supervisory effectiveness and subordinate satisfaction with supervision. Five dimensions of managerial effectiveness and two dimensions of satisfaction with supervision were identified through factor analyses. Stepwise regression analyses indicated significant correlations between several supervisory effectiveness variables and both measures of satisfaction with supervision for each of the three rating sources. The managerial effectiveness variables found to be related to satisfaction with supervision were very similar for the three rating sources. Moreover, the relative importance of the managerial effectiveness variables and the magnitude of the R2 values held on cross validation for each of the rating sources. Finally, it was found that the relationship between managerial effectiveness and subordinate satisfaction with supervision was moderated by the definition of subordinate satisfaction.Keywords
