Analysis of Officer Performance of an Experimental Task: Highway Traffic Plan
Abstract
Factor analysis of relationships among the variables of the Highway Traffic Task--the objectively scored traffic plan, the observers' checklist of the plan's provisions, and ratings of aspects of the officer's performance, including attitude and motivation--yielded five major performance factors: These were 1) total objective score, 2) response to stress, 3) procedural skills, 4) attention to requirements, and 5) style of performance. These scores, together with certain single variables of interest, are to be analyzed in a matrix including scores derived from the other 14 situational tasks. Results are to be applied to problems of officer performance evaluation and early identification of the most promising officer leaders.
