Training of the Operators by Supervisors

 

Supervisors have the responsibility to train their operators on a day to day basis in various processes and operations. They have to identify elements where the operators are not doing the work appropriately and give instruction to them.

This study focuses on supervisors as one of the “stakeholders” in a training programme.  Our findings point out that emphasis on the content of a training programme  should be extended to the work environment, especially supervisor support at each stage of a training programme.

Training cannot produce results unless management continuously supports it and is involved in it;  formal ly and informally. HR managers hence need to collaborate and co-operate with supervisors. Trainers should train supervisors about how to support trainees before, during and after training.

The conclusion that supervisor support indirectly impacts training transfer with a mediating role played by trainee characteristics.  HR managers must ensure that supervisors play a catalytic role in harnessing the trainee characteristics by way of enhancing both motivation to learn and motivation to transfer of trainees. Supervisors can help trainees in enhancing their rate of transfer by familiarizing them with the programme, discussing with them how to apply newly learnt skills to jobs, setting goals and providing them with timely feedback. Trainees must also be aware and, in fact, confident of receiving the necessary support from supervisors.
