An Analysis of Government/Contractor Interaction as a Motivator of Contractor Performance.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether 'influential government/contractor interaction' can be used to focus top management's attention on contractual performance. The hypothesis states that a relationship exists between the formal structure of 'influential government/contractor interaction' and documented contractor performance ratings. Data were collected at five NASA Centers and included 323 performance ratings on fifty-six contracts over a period of eight years. The data were tested for significant relationships using a stepwise linear regression model which considered the effects of organizational level and interaction frequency on the performance rating, in addition to nine other variables which potentially affected the performance rating.
