Abstract
The Leadership Opinion Questionnaire and a Supervisor Questionnaire were used to assess supervisor attitudes toward management responsibilities and to determine supervisory procedures correlated with particular attitude sets. Findings suggested that social work supervisors not only fail to evidence behavior supportive of organizational objectives, but their attitudes toward such responsibilities are weak. Furthermore, while they were highly oriented toward worker objectives, their use of specific management techniques was not supportive of these objectives. Additional findings included the identification of specific supervisory procedures that may facilitate organizational and worker objectives.
