LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR OF AIR FORCE ROTC CADETS.

Abstract

This study relates the achievement of leadership positions in an Air Force ROTC Detachment to certain indicants of leadership potential as defined by cadets who achieve the highest positions and who appoint other cadets to military positions in a 'cadet-centered' Corps. Cadets are categorized, in descending order according to levels of positions achieved by the time they have completed a four-year program, as Role Model cadets (highest position), Successful cadets (middle position) and Marginal cadets (lowest position). Each category is then scored on its manifestation of leadership potential according to measures of (a) disposition toward the norms of ROTC and toward patterns of behavior geared to maintaining and promulgating these norms; (b) cognition of the norms and of normatively-oriented roles; and (c) non-autonomous behavior.
