An Examination of the Use of Data from Existing Navy Records and Data Bases as Indicators of Human Resource Management Needs and Operational Readiness.

Abstract

Ten existing Navy data systems were reviewed to determine the feasibility of employing data from existing Navy records and data bases to identify Human Resource Management Needs and as indicators of operational readiness. Possible data sources were identified and personnel knowledgeable about the characteristics of the data system were interviewed. The results of the investigation suggested that using existing data sources as indicators is feasible but a considerable amount of additional research would be required before these existing data sources could be categorized as reliable and valid. The extensive information collection system already in use as part of various Navy data systems suggests that steps to increase data reliability for use as human resource or operational readiness indicators are to be preferred over developing new data systems.
