An Investigation of the Job Requirements and Resources of the Air Force Civil Engineering Foreman.

Abstract

The United States Air Force has facilities throughout the world. The Base Civil Engineering Organization constructs, operates, and maintains these facilities. The first-level foreman is the link between the Base Civil Engineer (BCE) labor force and its management structure. He directly affects the accomplishment of the BCE mission. Top level civil engineering managers have questioned the existing formal Air Force foreman training program. Also, they believe the foremen have too many duties to be effective managers of their work force. Research data were gathered from questionnaires sent to twenty-six bases. Personnel surveyed were Base Civil Engineers, Operations and Maintenance Chiefs, second-level foremen or superintendents, and first-level foremen.
