A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF OFFICER JOB EVALUATION FACTORS,

Abstract

A criterion was developed for validating pro posed job requirement factors by pair-comparison scaling of 31 officer specialties. Comparisons were collected by a multiple rank-order design from 471 Command and Staff College student officers. Ten 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 result ing multiple regression equation predicted the criterion scale values almost perfectly (R2 .96), with only 5 factors receiving significant positive weights: Formal Education; Special Training and Experience; Originality, Ingenuity, and Creativeness; Decision Making; Planning. The role of management in developing a job evaluation plan is discussed. (Author)
