A Preliminary Study of Officer Job Evaluation Factors

摘要

A criterion was developed for validating proposed job requirement factors by pair-comparison scaling of 31 officer specialties. Comparisons were collected by a multiple rank-order design from 471 Command ft Staff College student officers. 10 job requirement factors were validated against the criterion, using ratings of each factor on a 9-point scale for the 31 jobs, collected from 45 student officers. The resulting multiple regression equation predicted the criterion scale values almost perfectly (R2 - .96), with only 5 factors receiving significant positive weights: Formal Education;Special Training & Experience;Originality. Ingenuity, Creativeness;Decision Making Planning. The role of management in developing a job evaluation plan is discussed.
