Hassan, S. A. This study attempted to examine Ph.D. students' satisfaction with the supervision process at the International Islamic University Malaysia. In addition, the study also investigated the psychometric properties of supervision scale constructed by Van der Heide (1994), 'specifically the scale dimensionality, construct validity, endorsibility, and estimation of item and person score reliability of the scales. The participants were 94 Ph.D. students of the International Islamic University, Malaysia. The quality supervision scale (QSS) that included many qualities of effective supervision such as supervisor academic competency, research methods competency, attitude towards supervisee, faculty academic and moral supports and supervisees' personal traits was distributed to the respondents. The Rasch model analysis was then employed to analyze the data for reliability, fit to the model, estimation of satisfaction levels and possibility of scale to function differentially across gender. Results suggested that generally students were satisfied with the supervision processes at the International Islamic University. In addition to that, the scale satisfied psychometrics properties by maintaining unidimensionality, reliability, and internal consistency. Furthermore, Rasch analysis revealed that, for gender, differences in overall satisfaction levels between males and females were marginal. The differential item functioning showed that only 5 of 29 calibrated items function differently. This suggested that stUdents' levels of satisfaction were constant across gender. However, the stUdy recommended that future studies should examine the satisfaction level across different disciplines since previous studies suggested that satisfaction differs across different domains. 2007 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/20261/1/ID%2020261.pdf Ibrahim, M. and Hassan, S.
