from the very beginning; should know that their criticism and suggestions
carry weight and should be made to feel that the proposed changes are, in
some measures, their reforms. An organizational system can be no more
elastic or dynamic than the inspectors will let it be.

to keep up its standards and safeguard its quality. Only a supervisory service
can cater to the need of standards and quality. By close watch and systematic
check, it can ensure that the work is properly perceived, carefully planned,

to fill. These can be summed ups as follows:

them guidance in the field and in-service training now and then.

the types of help and guidance to achieve those goals.

inefficiency and negligence in an organization, finding out serious
lapses and irregularities in their functioning and ensuring that all
these shortcomings are removed.

constructive suggestions to workers. It also goes to their help in

Types of Inspection
Inspection is of three types. Each type represents a different purpose,
approach and emphasis.
1. The Corrective type
This is basically negative in nature and approach. The
inspector goes to office with a good deal of bias, prejudice and
sense of authority. He has to find out faults, discover lapses
and pick out holes here and there during his visit. He suffers
from sense of superiority and thinks that everybody stands in
need of correction and he is competent to correct everybody.
2. The Preventive type.
Recruitment of Inspectors
Following suggestions are given in this regard:
1. The inspectors should be drawn from employees with experience
and qualified staff of training institutions.
2. Pre-service training should be instituted for inspectors.
3. In-service training should be imparted to all the inspectors.
4. Their scales of pay may be upgraded and only with higher
qualifications may be recruited.
5. There should be a mutual transfer of inspectors, supervisors and
experienced employees.
