The productivity and well-being of the SANDF are dependent on the effective
functioning of its individual members, positive relationships amongst various
groups of members and between members and the organization. Military social
work, based on occupational social work, was established in order to support the
well-being of the organization. Supervisors within the South African National
Defence Force play a fundamental role in the management and assistance of
employees and organizational units whose performance is affected by a range of
problems. These supervisors are the key role players in the identification and
effective referral of 'employees whose performance is affected by problem
situations. The Supervisory Training Course was developed and implemented by
military social workers as a training aid to equip supervisors in appropriate ways
of managing and assisting employees and organizational units. The Supervisory
Training Course (a very comprehensive package) is currently presented on a
small scale amongst SANDF supervisors. These supervisors are not using
acquired knowledge and skills effectively regarding the management of their
subordinates. This situation motivated the researcher to undertake this study. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.
