GENERAL ON-THE-JOB CRITERIA OF AIRMAN EFFECTIVENESS APPLIED TO THREE CAREER FIELDS

Abstract

Three criterion measures were constructed and administered at two Air Force bases to airmen selected from three career areas which correspond to three aptitude groups defined by Air Force classification tests. Each of the three instruments was subjected to a factor analysis; the resulting factor scores, in combination with test scores and operationally derived performance ratings, were also factor analyzed. Six factors were identified, with each factor defined by at least two of the major variables. Short forms of two of the criterion instruments were prepared for further use. The results suggest suitability of these scales across the three job areas. (Author)
