Occupational Survey of the Medical Materiel Career Ladder 915X0
Abstract
A job inventory covering four specialties in the Medical Materiel Career Ladder, and consisting of 409 tasks grouped under 17 duty categories was administered to 1033 airmen in 17 major air commands. Incumbents of all skill levels completed a background information section and rated on a 7-point scale, the relative time spent on tasks. The airmen also indicated on a 7-point scale how they learned to do the tasks performed, whether from school training or work experience. Job descriptions are presented for 9 groups selected according to background information variables. Included are 4 specialty groups, and 5 groups with differing lengths of military service. Duty and task descriptions are presented for the Medical Materiel Ladder total sample, for 8 major job type clusters, for 2 job type sub-clusters, and for 37 significant job types identified by the automated job clustering program. A group overlap matrix shows the similarity of groups in terms of time spent on tasks. Summary tables indicate the percentage of members in each group who perform each task. Group difference descriptions are given for the total sample, for the four specialty groups, and for eight major job clusters are also shown. A table indicating how tasks were learned is reported for 5-skill level airmen who attended the basic medical materiel course and for those who did not attend the course. In Appendix 1 responses to items in the background information section are presented for every case in the survey. The inventory of duties and tasks used in the survey is included in Appendix 2.
