| Summary: | This research is deployed to discover a resolution for an efficient supervision. Many
problems can be derived from attrition and completion issue of Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students in Malaysian Advanced
Technology Training Center (ADTEC). One of the main factors is the failure and
incomplete of the industrial-based project. This issue is an evident that there is a need
for effective supervision. The purpose of this research is to examine the mediation
effect of the Supervisory Working Alliance (SWA) on the relationship between Overall
Supervision Effectiveness (OSE) and independent variables, including Supervisory
Input Support (SIS) and Supervise Individual Characteristic (SIC) among respondents.
The overall research framework is adapted from different Bordin’s Model of Working
Alliance (1983) and Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model (1996). This is a fully quantitative
research using survey method. Three hundred and sixty (360) respondents were selected
as research samples by proportionate stratified random sampling method from four (4)
main ADTEC in Malaysia. The data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive
analysis, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to validate the factors and Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM) to conduct correlation, regression and mediation test to
achieve the research objectives. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) was conducted to
ensure that the data used in this research did not violate the assumption of multivariate
analysis. All hypotheses in this research are fully supported in which there is a positive
significant relationship between variables (SIS, SIC, SWA and OSE); There is a
substantial effect of SIS on SWA, SIC on SWA and SWA on OSE; and SWA mediates
the relationship between SIS and OSE as Full Mediation and between SIC and OSE as
Partial Mediation. In conclusion, the present of SWA mediates the relationship between
SIS, SIC and OSE. This research contributes in new findings to the body of knowledge
in the evaluation of effective supervision. The major contribution of this research is to
introduce the student-supervisor framework for industrial-based project in Malaysian
TVET. |
