Abstract

Much of the clinical supervision research examines counselors’ (supervisees’) levels of self-efficacy; however, not studies were identified explored supervisors’ self-efficacy. Therefore, this investigation contributed to the research by developing a model to predict supervisees’ satisfaction in the supervisory relationship and the role supervisors’ self-efficacy contributes to their supervisees’ level of satisfaction. Results indicate that supervisors’ self-efficacy did not predict supervisees’ satisfaction with these data. However, a model was found that identified that supervisees’ anxiety and counseling skills were strong predictors of their satisfaction in the supervisory relationship, explaining 10.5% of the variance in satisfaction scores.
