A Linear Assignment Model for Predicting the Assignment Preferences of Air Force Civil Engineering Officers.
Abstract
The present USAF officer assignment system allows an individual to input his top choices of job level, location, and desired duty. Should the top choices be unavailable when the individual is due for assignment, the actual choice of the assignment is made by assignment personnel who no longer have the benefit of the individual's input. This research studied 59 Air Force Civil Engineering officers to determine if their assignment preferences could be predicted using a mathematical model. The research included matched pair comparison, use of a computer driven linear assignment model, and correlation analysis of the results.
