In this study it is hypothesized that the greatest role consensus between supervisors and subordinates will be found in offices where the role specializations of the supervisor's position is low and where his involvement with the subordinates is high. In addition, it is hypothesized that in offices where the supervisor's span-of-control is small, the supervisor involvement will be high, and where the supervisor's involvement is high the group cohesion of the caseworkers will also be high.
