Motivation of Program Managers.

Abstract

A survey of Department of Defense personnel attending the Defense Systems Management School was conducted using a questionnaire. The inherent motivation of program management positions was found to be sufficient to promote excellent performance. Job satisfaction was much higher for senior level personnel, especially program managers, than for middle managers. Strong growth needs were indicated by almost all respondents. The feedback from the job itself did not always provide the manager with an indication of his performance effectiveness. Not all program management personnel are highly motivated, primarily due to poor supervision.
