Performance of Men in Different Mental Categories. 1. Development of Worker-Oriented and Job-Oriented Rating Instruments for Navy Jobs.

Abstract

Two rating instruments for evaluating the performance of men in Navy jobs were developed. These are the Performance Analysis Inventory (PAI) and the Task Proficiency Inventory (TPI). The PAI analyzes performance in terms of worker-oriented variables and is based upon job analyses using a modification of McCormick's Position Analysis Questionnaire. The TPI analyzes performance in terms of job-oriented variables and is based upon job analyses conducted by the Navy Occupational Task Analysis Program. Within the limitations of a comparison of experimental and operational data, both the PAI and TPI show less leniency and halo effects, and better discrimination than the Performance Evaluation Report used in the Navy. Both experimental instruments will be used in subsequent research on the performance of men in different mental categories. (Author)
