Abstract
-
In making decisions about whom to select or promote as a supervisor, practical predictors are needed that tap interpersonal behaviors required for motivating employees to do their jobs well. An in-basket exercise based on the Operant Model of Effective Supervision (Komaki, 1998) was given to 35 investment bankers and scored for the behaviors of monitoring, providing consequences, and providing antecedents. Ratings of motivational effectiveness and technical expertise were also collected from participants' supervisors, subordinates, and peers. As predicted, monitoring, one type in particular---via work sampling, and providing warranted consequences were related to motivational effectiveness. An unexpected finding was that providing tacked-on traditional antecedents was significantly negatively related to technical expertise. With more research, the in-basket exercise could have practical applications for selecting people for managerial positions.
