Acceptability of Associate Ratings at Branch Basic Schools

Abstract

Officers in attendance at branch basic courses completed a 27-item attitude questionnaire following completion of associate ratings. This survey, the Associate Rating Questionnaire (ARQ), tapped the individual's perceptions regarding the value and usefulness of associate ratings as a personnel technique used to assess leadership potential of peers. Acceptability of associate ratings generally was low; it was higher among branches with greater familiarity with associate ratings. Usefulness was perceived to be greatest when pertaining to self-improvement.
