Personal Value Systems of USAF Non-Rated Aircraft Maintenance Officers.
Abstract
The following are among the conclusions of this study. (1) The hypothesis that the Moral-Ethical proportions would increase as years of service increased cannot be supported by this research; (2) A possible explanation for the behavior of the experimental data may be that the aircraft maintenance career area has a particular climate that favors Pragmatic orientations; (3) Logical inconsistencies were found in the experimental data that raise questions concerning the validity of the research instrument. While these inconsistencies are not considered conclusive evidence of the instrument's lack of validity, any question of the instrument's validity must be considered serious; and (4) The larger perspective of this research was to synthesize the theories and methodologies of differing disciplines of behavioral research. Although the non-support of the data for the research hypothesis prevented inferences to the population, the research has produced useable data for secondary analysis and comparison research.
