Supervisory techniques means the methods used to get the work done by the workers. These techniques are:
(1) Autocratic technique—Under this technique all the power of supervision are concentrated in the hands of supervisor and 'rule of thumb' is the weapon he uses indiscriminately. He has full control over his subordinates. He behaves as hard task master and imposes his will off and on. This technique is not used in modern limes because human concept of labour has its recognition in modern times and workers have full liberty to convey their feelings to the movement they cannot work as a machine. The supervisor should also avoid the use of this technique as it tends to destroy the very idea of the organisation.
(2) Democratic technique—Under this technique, democratic principles are followed. Workers are taken into confidence.
The supervisor, through in charge of the workmen and responsible for getting the work done, is not allowed to act according to his whims and temperament and likings and disliking. Instead consultation, counselling, group discussions are the rules of supervision. The workers are encouraged to suggest the best ways of doing the job. If suggestion proves suitable, it is recognised by the organisation. This technique is generally followed in modern industries.
(3) Free-rein Technique-This technique is reverse to the autocratic technique under this, the policies programmes and objectives of the organisations are fully explained to the workers. The workers are free to work according to the instructions and methods. Supervisor docs not interfere in their work. It is upto the worker to show the best results.
No technique is said to be the best supervision is individual trait and wisdom and the supervisor should develop his own technique according to the circumstances. His technique may differ from situation to situation, from work to work, from individual to individual, from group to group and from organistion to organisation.
