    • Attitudes, including openness, approachability, and fairness, significantly impact peer perceptions.
    • Effective interpersonal communication, such as active listening and clear articulation of expectations, facilitates smoother integration.
    • A combination of positive attitudes and adept communication skills is strongly correlated with successful peer acceptance.

    Conclusions:

    • Attitudes and interpersonal communication skills are pivotal for new supervisors transitioning from peer roles.
