Role and Responsibility of Lower level Management

                          Supervisory management (lower level management) consists of senior supervisor. Supervisor management is above the operatives but below the middle level management in the organisation. The executives at this level are in direct touch with the rank and file of workers and have to see that the work is properly carried out. The personnel employed at this level play an important role in the organisation. The effective implementation of the plans and polices, the quality of workmanship quality of output and over all success of the organisation very much depend on the hard labor, discipline and loyalty of the personnel at this level of management. Further, this level of management represents the workers before the higher management and the higher echelons of management to the workers.
                        As the supervisor is the immediate boss of the workers, the workers look to him for orders policies, instructions, guidance, encouragement, increased pay etc. The success of the supervisor depends on the preference of the workers, their co-operation, their ungrudging effort, their satisfaction and their loyality to him. The supervisor in turns looks to his superior in the middle management for orders, policy information, help and guidance.
