POST-TRAINING PERFORMANCE CRITERION DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION. AMULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING ANALYSIS OF THE JOB PERFORMANCE OF NAVAL AVIATION ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS

Abstract

This study was designed to: (1) explore the feasibility of applying standard multidimensional scaling procedures to a job task constellation, (2) develop and investigate specific methods for applying these techniques in the work oriented situation, and (3) determine the number and the nature of the dimensions of the Naval job of striker and petty officer, third class, aviation electronics technician. The resultsAPPEAR TO WARRANT THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: (1) It is feasible and fruitful to apply multidimensional scaling techniques to Naval job performance. (2) The work performed by striker and petty officer, third class, aviation electronics technicians is perceived by supervisors in the rating as involving four basic dimensions. (3) The four basic dimensions of the aviation electronics technician's job at the striker and third class petty officer level possess characteristics such that it would appear possible to devise unidimensional scales for evaluating individuals on each dimension.
