Army-wide Job Analysis for Officers: Branch and Functional Area-specific Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors Requirements from the Army Talent Attribute Framework Volume I: Main Report
Abstract
The Army-wide Job Analysis for Officers identifies Knowledge, Skill, and Behavior (KSB) requirements for active-duty officers ranked Second Lieutenant through Lieutenant Colonel using the Army Talent Attribute Framework (ATAF). This study used an online survey sent to a large sample of officers who rated the importance of job duties and ATAF KSBs for successful job performance. This report summarizes KSB importance ratings for officers in basic branches and functional areas, along with rank-specific KSB requirements. This research serves as a baseline for future talent management research, such as investigating new job analytic techniques, tracking Army modernization efforts, and analyzing force restructuring demands for particular attributes. This research also serves as a critical baseline for informing numerous current and future Army talent management efforts outlined in the Army People Strategy (2019) - (a) Acquire, (b) Develop, (c) Employ, and (d) Retain. Army stakeholders, workforce analysts, talent managers, and strength managers (i.e., those responsible for tracking incoming and outgoing Soldiers) may use these findings to determine position-specific attribute requirements, match individuals to open positions, identify talent gaps, and provide individual developmental opportunities. Additionally, results can be used for career pathing and identifying individuals with in-demand talents and providing opportunities for career advancement.
