DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNSELING FORM FOR USE BY SUPERVISING OFFICERS,
Abstract
A counseling interview form was devised to aid supervisory officers in making constructive use of the officer evaluation procedure. From reports of previous studies of counseling procedures in both military and civilian organization, 100 items were selected and categorized for inclusion in 3 tryout forms: a checklist, a forced-choice form, and a level-of-achievement form. Request was made to 1200 officers (400 for each form) for completion of an interview form for one subordinate officer and for rating the importance of each interview item on a separate item acceptability form. Interview items were validated against the subordinate officer's Overall Rating from his most recent OER. A revised form included 66 items selected on the basis of validity and acceptability rating. Revised interview and item acceptability forms were completed by 100 officers. The final form of 50 items is thus an interview guide composed of items of proven relevance to success as an Air Force Officer. Analysis of rating officers' comments gave little evidence of interest in using such a device. (Author)
