An Investigation and Analysis of Perceived Conflict between Military and Civilian Personnel in an Air Force Combined Work Group.
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the existence of conflict between military and civilian personnel in an Air Force combined work group. The study concentrated on Air Force officers and General Schedule civilian personnel, and was an initial attempt to measure conflict between the military and civilian personnel from the aspect of group processes. The study was conducted in an Air Force Systems Program Office, and required the design of an instrument to measure conflict, using difference in perceptions as the basis of measurement. The authors, using a structured interview approach, defined and measured group perceptions in terms of four variables: goals, attitudes, contributions, and group identity.
