Abstract: Supervision without effective monitoring and strategy planning can lead to zero output. The fear of productivity losses, combined with the horror of massively declining performance, has encouraged many leaders to increase their subordinates’ monitoring efforts. This article explores the techniques used by lecturers in managing their research and how they affect the outcome and performance. Some techniques might sound familiar while some will be new. Two sets of questionnaires were developed to investigate the relationship between techniques and performance. One set was distributed to 15 lecturers and the other set was distributed to 100 students from different fields to get input from them on the best supervision characteristics. Fourteen outputs were outlined to show the weight of techniques used by the lecturers. From the survey results, lecturers who applied more than three techniques were able to produce more than three graduating students and more than 20 publications. The aim of the study is to list the most effective techniques for sustainable supervision which lead to output production.
