Senior Noncommissioned Officers' APR Opinion Survey
Abstract
A questionnaire was mailed to 10,000 Air Force NCOs in the grades of E7, E8, and E9 in order to sample their opinions, expertise, and attitudes about various aspects of performance evaluation systems. The senior NCOs were asked about rating factors with which they should be evaluated, their opinions of the current APR system, and their attitudes toward proposed changes to the current APR system. In general, there was agreement across all senior NCO groups with respect to which rating factors should be included on a performance evaluation instrument. The overall level of satisfaction with the current APR system was fairly high. However, considering the population being surveyed was those who have been most successful with the system, the level of satisfaction was perhaps lower than might have been expected. With respect to possible changes to the APR system, the senior NCOs were about evenly divided on most major issues such as the possibility of an OER-type control system and career field specific APRs.
