Abstract

Supervisors innovative capabilities refer to their ability to generate adopt and implement new ideas, processes or solution that improves organizational outcomes. Supervisors’ performance encompasses their effectiveness in achieving organizational goals managing teams and maintaining operational efficiency. The current research aims 1) To analyze the relationship between innovative capabilities and performance of supervisors at university level. 2) To assess performance of supervisors at the university level. There are 12 publics and 6 private universities of Rawalpindi & Islamabad. The present investigation employed a quantitative research methodology. 358 supervisors from the social sciences departments of public and private institutions in Rawalpindi and Islamabad made up the study's population. For the sample selection, a total of 18 public and private universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad were chosen. A 20% representative sample was used for the final investigation. 186 samples were chosen from a total of 358 students in the social sciences departments of both public and private universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad using a basic random selection procedure. A self-made questionnaire was created in order to accomplish these goals, and it was distributed to supervisors in the social sciences departments of both public and private institutions in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation statistical techniques were employed in the processing and analysis of the data using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The study's findings revealed a moderate to significant positive association between supervisory performance and inventive capacities, with a correlation coefficient of 0.579. This implies that supervisors' performance rises in tandem with their capacity for innovation. This suggests that the association is reliable and that the correlation is statistically significant. Supervisors should thus concentrate on encouraging a creative culture, enhancing the incorporation of new technologies, encouraging ongoing professional growth, and utilizing data-driven decision-making. An important area of study in education is the connection between supervisors' performance and their capacity for innovation. Therefore, based on the data gathered, it was determined that the majority of respondents strongly agreed with the statement regarding inventive capabilities.
