Predicting Fleet Performance of U.S. Navy Paramedical Personnel.
Abstract
The utility of numerous cognitive and demographic measures as predictors of an on-the-job performance criterion for paramedical personnel serving in the U.S. Navy was investigated. Subjects were 1,315 graduates of Hospital Corps School, San Diego, California, who had completed their initial tours of duty as Hospitalmen. A composite score which measured on-the-job effectiveness as a function of recommendations by supervisors as well as premature separations from the service represented the criterion measure. Twenty-three cognitive and demographic items were analyzed using multiple regression techniques to obtain weights for predicting performance in a cross-validation sample. Findings indicated that non-cognitive measures added uniquely to prediction of on-the-job performance. (Author)
