Development of a Fuel Efficiency Motivation Survey

Abstract

To understand why US Air Force mobility pilots operate fuel efficiently, this research was aimed at developing a survey that measures constructs related to motivation according to the Self-Determination Theory framework. The 40 item survey was administered to 24 Air Force mobility pilots. In addition to their item responses, their subjective feedback was collected to support face validity of the survey. Overall results of the study provided sufficient evidence the survey will be effective in a full-scale study of fuel efficiency motivation in the sampled population.
