Investigation of a Perceived Relationship between Grade and Responsibility, and Its Effect on Career Decisions of Young U. S. Air Force Officers.
Abstract
The report attempts to answer the following questions, 'Do Air Force junior officers perceive the USAF grade system as a hindrance to their obtaining increasing job responsibility commensurate with their capabilities and qualifications.' and 'If officers do perceive the grade system as dysfunctional to their obtaining increased responsibility, is this perception causing officers to leave the service.' Following a historical development of military grade, job responsibility is studied as an important factor in a junior officer's career and in decisions concerning that career. A questionnaire survey is reported.
