An Examination of the Reliability of the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP).
Abstract
The purpose of this report is the factor by factor assessment of the reliability of the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP). In making this assessment, two procedures were used: test-retest for stability, and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Results showed generally acceptable to excellent reliability for the primary OAP factors. OAP factors are reliable enough for collection of Air Force systemic data, while results must be considered on a factor to factor basis when used for consulting purposes. Recommendations from the report include: expansion or elimination of two item factors, as these factors are least stable and consistent; investigation of positive response bias in OAP factor results; and consideration of reliability measurement when selecting the factor analytic model for the OAP revision.
