Analysis of Racial Differences in Terms of Work Assignments, Job Interest, and Felt Utilization of Talents and Training

Abstract

First-term black airmen were compared with first-term non-blacks in 11 career ladders in terms of their work assignments, job interests, and felt utilization. The contribution of race in accounting for the number of tasks assigned and for the average difficulty level of tasks performed per unit time was assessed for the ladders. Race was observed to make a contribution in predicting an overall job difficulty index in two ladders, to the extent of less than one percent. There appeared to be little difference in the types of assignments given to blacks and non-blacks within the 11 ladders investigated.
