Effect of Work Schedule, and Description of Career Intention on Organizational Effectiveness.

Abstract

Research was conducted to establish the effects of work schedule and description of career intention on three criteria of effectiveness (i.e., climate, satisfaction, and perceived productivity). Data were collected on 4786 military and civilian personnel located at five Air Force bases using the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP). Two separate one-way ANOVA's were used to test for differences between different work schedules and differences between individuals' descriptions of career intentions. Work schedules differed significantly with the category of 'daily work only' having higher values on the three criteria while 'swing shift' had the lowest values. Those planning to continue in the Air Force had the highest scores on all three criteria. (Author)
