Abstract

The area supervisor has an inviduous role to fulfil. She has part of the chief matron’s responsibilities but not her authority. At the same time she functions as a person with specialised and extensive knowledge. An in depth literature study has revealed that the area supervisor has eight roles namely that of leader, co-ordinator, clinical expert, supervisor, educator, human relations expert, and inspectress. Area supervisors fill different roles and each area supervisor has a preference for specific roles. From research undertaken in the Transvaal these roles were placed in a priority sequence. The findings indicate that area supervisors have role expectations but that these role expectations are not satisfied.
