An Analysis of the Public Works Officer as a Resource Manager.

Abstract

The Public Works Officer (PWO) in the Navy faces a personal dilemma in his resource allocation decision process. The PWO must satisfy both the operationally oriented effectiveness criteria of his Commanding Officer (CO) and the economically oriented efficiency goals of the public works management system designed and monitored by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). This thesis analyzes the PWO's organizational environment, enumerates the management functions that must be performed and highlights the efficiency/effectiveness dichotomy faced in management decision actions.
