Abstract

This report deals with the generic behaviors involved in technical job task performance. It describes civilian and military efforts in developing behavioral descriptions of job task performances and in doing job task analyses, and it contains an annotated bibliography of works on such efforts. The report also describes a survey conducted of enlisted personnel assigned to a cross-section of technical ratings toward identifying the generic characteristics of Navy technical job tasks. The final section of the report provides hypothetical descriptions of the conditions of job task performance, the head/book distribution of knowlege/skill elements, and a taxonomy of generic job tasks performed in conjuction with the use of technical data.
