To answer the research question whether there is a mediation effect of the supervisory working alliance between supervisory styles and supervisee satisfaction, we developed a mediation model and tested this hypothesized mediation effect with a sample of 111 participants that was comprised of master’s and doctoral counselor trainees and counseling practitioners recruited from several counseling professional networks. Results indicated a statistically significant indirect effect of supervisory styles on supervisee satisfaction through the supervisory working alliance. Specifically, when supervisees rated higher on a mixture of three supervisory styles, they were more likely to report a stronger working alliance with their supervisors; this alliance, in turn, contributed to their higher levels of satisfaction with supervision. These findings also speak to the importance of maintaining a flexible, balanced approach in supervision, and shed light on how both supervisors and supervisees can contribute to the supervisory working alliance so as to enhance supervisee satisfaction.

Improving Health Care

Nine counselling psychology students were enrolled in a 12-week pilot practicum (i.e. a work placement) for either one hour of course credit (six students) or three hours (three students). Group supervision was provided both in-person and by videoconferencing. Each trainee completed a measure evaluating their satisfaction with supervision (Supervisory Satisfaction Questionnaire, SSQ) and the supervisory relationship (Supervisory Working Alliance Inventory – Trainee Version, SWAI-T). The student's self-efficacy was also tracked during the semester (Counselling Self-Estimate Inventory, COSE). Trainees rated their satisfaction with videoconferencing similarly to the in-person format. The supervisory relationship also did not appear to be affected by the videoconferencing format. The COSE scores indicated that the students increased in counsellor self-efficacy by the end of the semester. Trainees reported that their supervisory needs were met and believed that videoconferencing was a viable format for supervision, although such a format still needed to be augmented by in-person contact. Providing better access to supervision and professional support using technology is one step towards improving health care in rural areas.

Counseling Training

The study, based on the model of Bordin (1983), aims to explore whether the supervisors' and trainees' perceptions of supervisory working alliance (goals, tasks and emotional bond) predict trainees' perceptions of counseling self-efficacy. The study sample consisted of 144 undergraduate and graduate counseling students from four Jordanian state universities, and 14 supervisors of these students. Results of multiple regression analyses showed that from the viewpoint of the trainees, goals in the supervisory working alliance were the predictor of their counseling self-efficacy, and explained 11% of the variation in selfefficacy. In addition, supervisors' perceptions of the trainees' counseling self-efficacy, explained 4% of the variation in their trainees' perceptions of counseling self-efficacy. The study showed that trainees, compared to supervisors, had higher levels of counseling self-efficacy and supervisory working alliance perceptions, with the exception of the emotional bond. Findings highlight the importance of studying the supervisor-supervisee relationship in the context of counseling training programs. The study's results have implications for improving the supervision outcomes and proposals for future studies.
