Abstract
The self-perceived role of first-line supervisors was compared with the role perceived by their superiors. 18 items (word pairs) differentiated between the "high" and "low" groups at the 5% level or better. "The most outstanding self-perception of the "poor" supervisor is his sales approach to human relations...[while]...the "good" supervisor...sees himself as respecting the rights and dignity of others." Conclusions are explored on the basis of the assumptions that (1) the self-perceptions are in approximate accord with the superiors'' perceptions, and (2) the differences in self-perception reflect qualities that distinguish good from poor supervisors.
