Establishing Criteria for Assigning Personnel to Air Force Jobs.

Abstract

Primary efforts during the first year were focused on the initial job analysis phase of the project. In this phase each Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) is surveyed to identify the tasks which require significant physical demands. These tasks are quantified, using an appropriate physical unit through the use of task analysis, such that an accurate assessment of demands can be made. From this list of tasks for each AFSC, a set of tasks known as Performance Criteria Tasks (PCTs) will be selected. An individual's performance on these PCTs, then, will determine whether or not the individual is successful or not in performing the physically demanding tasks within the AFSC. This report discusses the questionnaires developed for the field surveys to be conducted, the rationale and sampling scheme used for the selection of tasks, the preliminary questionnaire used in the field survey of the initial 45 AFSCs, and the basic questionnaire to be used on the accompanying follow-up survey.
