Effect of Work Stability, Classification, and Sex on Organizational Effectiveness.

Abstract

Research was conducted to establish the effects of work stability, personnel classification (i.e., airman, officer, or civilian), and sex on three criteria of effectiveness (i.e., satisfaction, climate, and perceived productivity). Data were collected on 4786 military and civilian personnel located at five Air Force bases using the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP). A 1-way ANOVA was used to test for differences between work-stability levels and a 2-way ANOVA to test for differences between subject's classification and sex. Work-stability levels differed significantly (p < .001) with more stable levels having higher values for all three criteria. Airmen scored lower on all three criteria while female civilians were lower on satisfaction and perceived productivity. (Author)
