Quantitative Procedure for Position Identity Definition.

Abstract

General Research Corporation developed a decision logic and quantitative methodology to properly designate each active army position for incumbency by personnel in one of four categories: commissioned officer, warrant officer, enlisted, or civilian. The method uses job task analysis and job factor/subfactor scoring methods to identify individual positions by category. All instructions, definitions, scores, tables, and forms required to use the method are contained in a Handbook of less than 35 pages written at slightly above te 12th grade reading comprehension level. The method was fully validated through a survey and borad field test using a representative sample of positions and a suitably qualified and stratified group of testers. The Handbook is designed for Army-wide use and is ready for distribution. (Author)
