STUDIES OF AIR FORCE EXECUTIVES III. PRETESTING A TASK INVENTORY FOR EXECUTIVES (TIE) OF THE AFLC,

Abstract

A 100 item experimental Task Inventory for Executives (TIE) was derived and developed from Hemphill's (1960) factor analysis of executive tasks by Teller and Camm (1962). The inventory was pretested on 80 Headquarters USAF executives at 4 levels within 9 Air Force functions (Camm and Teller, 1963). Results were analyzed on the basis of 3 sets of scores for (1) Criticality of Tasks, (2) Frequency of Performance, and (3) Per formance of Tasks. This study replicated the de sign of the 1963 Camm and Teller study and pre tested the inventory on a sample of 66 AFLC executives at 3 levels within 8 AFLC functions. The results of this study showed no significant differences between levels or functions regarding criticality, frequency or performance of tasks covered by the inventory. (Author)
