AN EVALUATION OF A SUGGESTED METHOD FOR MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE UTILIZATION OF TECHNICALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL.
Abstract
The effectiveness of Operations Analysis trained officers in Operational Analyst billets was shown to be quantitatively and subjectively significantly superior to those with no formal Operations Analysis training. These results indicate that Naval assignment policies should be reviewed in hopes of assigning more Operations Analysis trained officers (consistent with other requirements) to these billets. Further investigation of the results of the test vehicle and other statistics common to Operations Analysis graduates yielded a feasible procedure with which to augment the screening of prospective Operations Analysis students. Final Quality Point Rating, an acceptable measure of performance, had a .614 correlation with four readily available statistics. This evaluation suggests that further study in this area has great promise in yielding useful measures of effectiveness for all personnel filling billets requiring postgraduate education, provided a more effective method is employed to insure completion of the required test instrument(s).
