Organizational Assessment Indices of Effectiveness.

Abstract

This research involved developing indices of effectiveness to be used operationally with the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP). The OAP is primarily an attitudinal survey developed for use by the Air Force Leadership and Management Development Center. Analyses compared job enrichment formulas to establish the most predictive system for predicting four organizational criteria. Regression equations were developed for estimating the true factor scores of OAP factors. This provided a means of estimating factor scores from a small sub-set of items,thereby reducing the number of survey items required to reliably establish factor score measures. Regression equations were developed using variables from the job and supervisor inventories of the OAP for predicting the OAP criterion inventories. These equations provide estimates of criterion scores when circumstances prohibit administration of the entire OAP and the criterion inventories have been excluded to shorten OAP length.
