Entwicklung beruflicher Ressourcen durch Supervision — Eine Untersuchung im ambulanten psychiatrischen Bereich-

Based on stress-and resource-theories in a questionnaire study (N = 110) the effects of supervision on the development of job-related resources, perceived control and self-efficacy against job-strains are examined at employees of ambulant psychiatric institutions. The results show perceived improvements by supervision especially for the factors “professional resources” and “social support by colleagues/management”. Specific relationships between these factors and characteristics of the setting as well as the supervisors and the subjects are evident. Above all, perceived improvements of “professional resources” correlate with higher supervision-satisfaction, improvements of the job-situation, control and self-efficacy. On the other hand, the factor “social support by colleagues/management” plays a smaller role. The assumed positive correlation between indicators of health and the factors “control” and “self-efficacy against job-stress” could not be confirmed.
