Abstract

This study was to know the opinion of health supervisors towards activities of health care workers. The study was undertaken among 207 health supervisors coming for in service training at Health and Family Welfare training centre, Amritsar (Punjab). They were provided with questionnaire following the registration for training. It was found that majority of the participants (87.9%) agreed that planning of health workers activities should be as a team work, while about 16% of respondents denied that supervision is required for daily activities of the health workers. Punctuality is important; however, this study showed that health supervision (6.8%) stressed more on the punctuality of workers that female health supervisors (11.8%).This study also revealed that female’s supervisors (45.7%) have more courage to accept blame for the mistake commits by workers than male supervisors (7.4%). This study revealed that there is no doubt majority of participants have positive opinions towards health workers activities. But in service sector all types of behaviour is required in different working situations, but most of the time democratic and participative type behaviour is very effective for a team work.
