Supervisors may be find it difficult to keep abreast of the continual changes so their coaching method is likely to reap lesser benefits than usual. Thus it can be assumed that performance will not as improved through coaching in times of process upgrades.
Ethical methods adopted by effective supervisors (2010). How Supervisors Influence Performance: a Multilevel Study of Coaching and Group Management in Technology-mediated Services. Personnel Psychology. 63: 2.
Ethical supervisory methods in coaching and group management practices can turn out to be a great way of maintaining and improving performance while also managing to keep the costs of an organization in check. Employees are likely to become more productive and motivated as a direct result of ethical counseling and guidance provided by the supervisors who has to step up and take that role because of the demands of modern times. Handling administrative and monitoring tasks is not the only domain of supervisors any more (Gittell, 2001; Hales, 2005; McGovem et al., 1997; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007).
As has been seen in the paper, effective supervisory function can improve the quality of the service being provided as it helps employees take new challenges while also improving their critical thinking and problem solving abilities. Such initiatives make employees better motivated and competent to handle tasks that require self-motivated efforts. Employees also acquire more motivation and job satisfaction from an environment where work relationships and team work are encouraged and rewarded -- something that a supervisory can effectively facilitate by performing his/her function of coaching, mentoring and offering guidance (Gittell, 2001; Hales, 2005; McGovem et al., 1997; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007).
Some of the most prevalent jobs in the general labor market are clerical workers, bank officials, sales representatives, technicians, transport workers, postal employees, distributors, housekeepers, inn keepers and etc. Even though organizations may put these groups into different teams the work relationships of these employees are managed by the supervisors (Gittell, 2001; Hales, 2005; McGovem et al., 1997; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007).
Moreover, supervisory functions have apparent financial benefits as well as it increases the efficiencies of workers and minimizes losses at the workplace. This way costs are saved and financial benefits are gained. Therefore organizations should consider the supervisory function an integral part of their work environment as it helps in maintaining an overall sound corporate atmosphere that has direct links to the motivation level and performance of employees. The supervisory function also encourages the employees to continually acquire more information and skills that consequently assists them in performing their tasks and increases the level of their competencies thereby increasing their chances of achieving success in the organization and getting a promotion (Gittell, 2001; Hales, 2005; McGovem et al., 1997; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007).
Empirical studies however maintain that supervisors vary significantly in their tendency to counsel their employees (Heslin et al., 2006). Sometimes supervisors may not be as willing to impart counsel and to clarify objectives if there are limitation on time and if they do not have the confidence to do so (Wexley & Latham, 2001). This case also holds true when supervisors themselves do not possess the necessary knowledge and resources required to perform their supervisory functions. However, organizations need to realize the importance of equipping the supervisors with the relevant tools and resources so that the overall performance level of the organization can be enhanced.
There are people who argue that front line supervisors may see a decrease in their importance if the flat organizational structure continues to be popular. However it has an important to play in the realm of human resources, especially when it comes to areas like employee development and performance management (Gittell, 2001; Hales, 2005; McGovem et al., 1997; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007).
