Job Attitudes of USAF Officers.
Abstract
This paper compares job attitudes and identify trends among the Air Force officer grades 0-1 through 0-6 and above. The diagnostic instrument used for this study is the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP), a survey used by the Leadership and Management Development Center (LMDC), Maxwell Air Force Base, AL, to analyze attitudes and provide Air Force decisionmakers with systemic information and leadership trends. To accomplish its purpose this study analyzes OAP responses from USAF officers collected from October 1981 to September 1985. The data were collected by LMDC's management consultant teams, who responded to unit commander's requests to analyze job attitudes within their units. Due to funding cutbacks LMDC will transfer the OAP data base and no longer collect job attitudinal data for analysis. This study serves as a historical record for a portion of LMDC's OAP data base and fulfills the requirements for an Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) research project. This comparative study of Air Force officers helps to identify the attitudes at the various grade levels. It may help leaders improve weak areas and capitalize on strengths. This in turn would enhance the Air Force for its current members, and continue to make it competitive for recruitment and retention.
