THE IMPROVEMENT OF SELECTION TO PERSONNELMAN 'A' SCHOOL.
Abstract
The personnelman (PN) represents a major point of contact between the Navy and its enlisted men. The attitude the PN projects while performing his duties is believed to have an effect upon his serviceman-client's satisfaction with the Navy and subsequent reenlistment decision. Since all rated personnelmen must attend 'A' school, upgrading the performance of PN's can begin at the school selection point. Experimental administration of several tests of intermediate memory ability, the Navy vocational interest inventory (NVII), a peer rating, and an instructor's rating, was carried out at three PN 'A' schools. The Final School Grade (FSG) of each student was used as a criterion. In addition, the efficacy of the NVII for predicting the performance of rated PN's in the fleet was investigated. (Author)
