Abstract

This is a report on the first phase of a research program devoted to the problems of computer personnel selection and evaluation. The research was designed primarily with the Navy's require ments in mind. In this phase, the computer analyst/programmer job family was structured in terms of common task patterns. A list of 186 task statements that covered a broad spectrum of programming and analytical activities was given to 150 computer personnel from sixteen organizations. The personnel were drawn from the areas of scientific and engineering, business and logistics, and military systems work. They also provided representation of the system analyst, senior programmer, and programmer job levels. (Author)
