Due to growing work-family demands, supervisors need to effectively exhibit family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB). Drawing on social support theory and using data from two samples of lower wage workers, the authors develop and validate a measure of FSSB, defined as behaviors exhibited by supervisors that are supportive of families.

Supervisor localization can be applied to distribute a monolithic supervisor into local supervisors. Performing computationally costly. In this work, we consider systems that evolve over time. We study how reuse the results from previous localization, more efficiently compute supervisors when system is adapted. call approach transformational and present algorithms for procedure. The efficiency ...
