According to the training literature, a supervisor's role in training programs has two major elements: supervisor support and supervisor communication. The ability of supervisors to play effective roles in training programs may increase employees' motivation to learn. The nature of this relationship is interesting, but the role of supervisor's role as a predicting variable is less emphasized in a training program models. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effect of supervisor's role in training programs on motivation to learn using 152 usable questionnaires gathered from non-academic employees who have worked in a technological based public university, Malaysia. The outcomes of stepwise regression analysis showed that the supervisor support and supervisor communication significantly associated with motivation to learn. Statistically, this result demonstrates that supervisor's role in training programs does act as an important predictor of motivation to learn in the organizational sample. In addition, discussion, implication and conclusion are elaborated.

Zgodnie z literaturą dotycząca zagadnień szkoleniowych, rola nadzorującego w programach szkoleniowych składa się z dwóch głównych elementów: wsparcie nadzorującego i komunikacji nadzorującego. Umiejętność efektywnego wypełniania obu tych elementów przez prowadzących szkolenie może zwiększyć motywację pracowników do nauki. Charakter tej wzajemnej zależności jest interesujący, ale na rolę nadzorującego jako przewidywalnej zmiennej w modelach programu szkoleniowego jest kładziony zwykle mniejszy nacisk. Z tego powodu przeprowadzono badania w celu określenia wpływu roli nadzorującego w programach szkoleniowych na motywację do nauki. Posłużono się ankietą przeprowadzoną wśród 152 pracowników pozaakademickich, którzy pracowali w technicznej uczelni publicznej w Malezji. Wyniki analizy regresji wykazały, że wsparcie nadzorującego i komunikacji nadzorującego są istotnie związane z motywacją do nauki. Wyniki statystyczne wykazały, że rola nadzorującego w programach szkoleniowych jest ważnym predykatorem motywacji do nauki w próbie organizacyjnej. Przedstawiono dyskusję oraz wnioski tych badań.
