Job Attitudes of USAF Enlisted Personnel with Less than Four Years of Service.

Abstract

This report compares and analyzes the job attitudes of airmen in each of the first four years of service with those of enlisted personnel who have more than four years of service. Data used in this analysis come from responses to the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP) survey administered to Air Force organizations from FY 81 - FY 85 by the Leadership and Management Development Center. The report provides recommendations to commanders and supervisors on how to address weaknesses indicated by the job attitude data and to capitalize on strengths in their organizations. The results indicate that there are significant attitudinal differences in all the OAP job factors among airmen in each of their four years of service and thereafter. The report also concludes that, while career airmen tend to be more satisfied with their jobs, airmen in their first four years of service are relatively satisfied with their jobs.
