dc.description.abstractThe supervisors occupy a key position in the hierarchial structure of !CDS scheme a-nd act as the most important catalysts for delivering the various services envisaged under the scheme. The achievement of this programme with regard to child development is greatly influenced by the job performance of these supervisors. Training is another major input which upgrades the job performance of these functionariies. As the supervisors attitude to training in conditioned by the. ir performance in job, an assessment of both these aspects can help the administrators of !CDS take corrective measures and ensure successful implementation of the programme. The present study makes an attempt to assess both training needs and job performance of !CDS supervisors working in Telengana region of Andhra Pradesh by following ex-post-facto research design. The training needs and job performance of supervisors was assessed by a combination of self, superior and subordinate ratings. The total sample comprised of 45 supervisors, 9 CDPOs (superiors) and 90 AWWs (subordinates). The data was collected with the help of an interview schedule developed for the study. Appropriate statistical tests were used to analyse the collected data. Following .findings emerged out of the study: Majority of the supervisors (53% and 76%) belonged to medium category with respect to their knowledge and skill training needs. Sixty s~ven per cent of supervisors performed their jobs to an average level. Significant associations were found among the supervisors, CDPOs and AWWs in assessment of training needs and job performance of supervisors. Training was perceived needful in certain aspects of the training areas, preschool education, nutrition and health, communiity involvement and community education and management. Job areas like service delivery, evaluation and helping AWWs were found to b~ comparitively performed at a lower level by the supervisors. While age, training undergone ยท and job rience showed a negative relationship, education a positive relationship with both knowledge and training needs of supervisors. expeshowed skill The variables, age, job experience, persistence disposition, and extension climate showed a positive relationshiip with job performance of supervisors. Education received by the supervisors was found to be negatively related with their job performance. Training undergone by the supervisors, their aspirations and attitude towards work showed a positive increase in the performance of their job. Suggestions given by the three categorieis of respondents to satisfy the training needs of supervisors include involvement of locals in the training programmes of supervisors and organisation of joint trainings for the functionariies of !CDS and officials from alli : ed departments. The present study emphasises the need for conducting refresher training programmes for the supervisors more frequently than before. It also suggests for the recruitment of Home science/Social work graduates as supervisors of !CDS programme to increase the output of work. In view of the above findings, the administrators and poliicy makers of !CDS programme need to take appropriate measures to organise need based training programmes for supervisors and improve their job performance by imparting skills in interpersonal relations, communication and supportive supervision and motivating them to perform better by creating more avenues through awards and rewards.en_US
