Difference between direct and indirect supervision?

Answer 1

Indirect Supervision

Indirect supervision is characterized by some form of authority over the work of employees not under direct supervision. In other words, the "supervisor" who provides indirect supervision is responsible for the work, but not for the worker. The descriptions above were written in relation to the employee under direct supervision; the following subsections describe persons with responsibility for exercising indirect supervision.

Direct Supervison

The basic characteristics of direct supervision are the assignment of tasks; the observance, review, and evaluation of performance; the administration of line personnel functions (e.g., selection, discipline, grievances, privileges); and responsibility for the worker, as well as the work. The gradations of direct supervision are described below in terms of supervision received by employees.

Answer 2

The difference is that indirect means you are in something but your not doing it. For an example like my friends and I stole a necklace from the store, but I didn't do it. But they did I was part but not did it. Which make direct something that you did.
