Army-Wide Job Analysis for Warrant Officers: Identifying Knowledge, Skill, and Behavior requirements from the Army Talent Attribute Framework Volume 1: Main Report
Abstract
The Army-wide Job Analysis for Warrant Officers identifies Knowledge, Skill, and Behavior (KSB) requirements for active-duty Warrant Officer (WO) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and ranks using the newly developed Army Talent Attribute Framework (ATAF). Data was collected via an online survey system. WOs rated the importance of all 198 ATAF KSBs for successful performance in their position. 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 attribute requirements, and better match individuals to open positions, identify talent gaps, and provide individual developmental opportunities. WOs have specific skill requirements due to the high degree of specialization within their jobs, consequently, collecting information on current WO perceptions of KSB importance will help advise future talent alignment efforts in the Army talent marketplace.
