Job Attitudes of USAF Chaplains and Chapel Management Personnel.
Abstract
In this report, Organizational Assessment Package (OAP) data are examined to determine if there are significant differences between the job attitudes of officers and enlisted personnel in the chaplain career area and those of corresponding personnel in other Air Force career areas. There were four main goals: (a) to examine relevant background research and organizational behavior literature, (b) to compare OAP-measured demographic characteristics and job attitudes between personnel in the chaplain career field and those in other career fields, (c) to analyze significant attitudinal differences between chaplains and chapel management personnel and corresponding personnel in other Air Force Areas (using t-tests), and (d) to develop recommendations for chaplain area leaders and functional managers. Chaplain officers were found to be significantly different from other officers on 19 of the 21 OAP factors which were considered for this analysis. Chapel management personnel were found to be significantly different from other enlisted personnel on 8 of the 21 OAP factors. In general, chaplains and chapel management personnel had more favorable job attitudes when compared to other officers and enlisted personel respectively.
