Comparative Studies of Organizational Factors in Military Maintenance

Abstract

This report describes progress in a research program comparing organizational factors in military and civilian maintenance organizations. The research focuses on the incentives and disincentives such as system characteristics, policies and procedures which directly impact upon the work motivation of maintenance personnel. The report includes an overview of the program, and a description of the data collection survey instruments developed for the research program. Two categories of instruments were developed: (1) Questionnaires and interviews were used to obtain subjective information regarding self-view of job, job satisfaction, and organizational structure; and (2) Objective instruments were used to measure performance and work loads within maintenance organizations.
