摘要：
This research explores the role of early supervisory experience and cognitive ability in first-line supervisor performance. Similar to E L. Schmidt, J. E. Hunter, and A. N. Outerbridge's(1986) study of nonsupervisors, this research tested structural models hypothesizing relationships among supervisory experience, cognitive ability, supervisory knowledge and proficiency, and performance ratings, using a sample of 570 second-tour soldiers. The Schmidt et al. model with an additional ability - experience path provided the best fit. The significant ability --> experience path was interpreted as indicating that demonstrated ability contributes to soldiers being given the opportunity to obtain supervisory experience. Experience had a greater impact on supervisor proficiency than on superviSor knowledge. Ability had a greater impact on supervisor knowledge than on proficiency. Discussion focuses on the personal characteristics that might be involved in being assigned supervisory responsibilities.
