The authors examined supervisor cultural humility as a predictor of supervisee intentional nondisclosure. Using multiple regression in a sample of 101 post-master's counselors, the authors found that 20% of supervisees' intentional nondisclosure was explained by their perceptions of their supervisors' level of cultural humility.

Supervision is an integral part of the language teacher education process which plays a significant role in improving teachers' teaching practice. This study explores Kuwaiti English as a foreign language (EFL) female student teachers' perspective on the performance of their supervisors during the practicum course. It sought to explore the general…

Ample correlational research shows that leader support for creativity is related to subordinate creativity, yet research examining the causality of this relationship experimentally is scant. Furthermore, most studies that demonstrate support for this relationship have used relatively subjective creativity measures that do not tap as effectively…

Competency-based assessment is undergoing an evolution with the popularisation of programmatic assessment. Fundamental to programmatic assessment are the attributes and buy-in of the people participating in the system. Our previous research revealed unspoken, yet influential, cultural and relationship dynamics that interact with programmatic…

Purpose: Scholars in the feedback seeking domain have predominantly focused on subordinate feedback seeking. The authors still know very little about feedback seeking when the leader is the "seeker" and subordinates are the "targets" of such seeking. This paper aims to develop a theoretical framework that explores the potential…

This qualitative study followed the work of 12 principals and their supervisors to understand the concept of joint work as consequential for principals' learning and practice development. Research questions centered on the principal supervisor and principal's key work tasks and the situational contexts in which they occurred. Findings revealed…

This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore how Latina professionals in supervisory roles described a long-term affiliation with a professional association in Arizona.

The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if an intern in a principal preparation program had a better experience during their internship if they were able to select their field-based mentor as opposed to being assigned a mentor by the administrators of the program. The literature addressed the current role of the principal and…

Co-supervision of doctoral theses is on the rise worldwide, but we know little of the relational dynamics of the co-supervisory team and doctoral student. These teams often must work together for several years, during which supervisors may come and go. We interviewed 19 doctoral students about their experiences of co-supervision and found a…

Effective leadership is deemed important because of the impact leaders have on employees, which affects organizational outcomes. How leaders are deemed effective is connected to the implicit leadership theories held by employees, which informs the expectations employees have of their leaders. A gap was identified in the literature regarding…

This paper presents an evocative autoethnographic account of my postgraduate supervision experience in two African institutions while dealing mainly with students in the computing disciplines of Computer Science, Information Systems, and Information Technology. In this paper, the context of the postgraduate supervision, and the lessons learnt are…

South African universities have evidenced exponential increases in the numbers of doctoral students, bringing pressure to bear upon traditional supervisory practice. With the literature on the challenges experienced by international postgraduate students at South African universities being very limited, it was anticipated that the challenges…

Understanding the determinants of PhD student satisfaction is likely to become increasingly vital for universities as student satisfaction rankings already ubiquitous at undergraduate and master degree levels extend more broadly to the PhD level. Moreover, as PhD student populations and university competition become increasingly transnational,…

This study is a pioneer study that seeks to explore the association between supervision outputs and the nature of the supervision (by e-mail, face-to-face, the student's independence). In addition, the association between the supervising lecturer's personal background (gender, age), professional background (faculty, tenure, excellence in…

This study reports on an interview-based study of thesis supervisors' attitudes on initiating discussions on students' expectations and prior thesis writing experiences in international master's degree programmes. One aim of this study is to identify the various practices which supervisors implement and the reasoning they use to foster a…
