Job Attitudes of TAC Maintenance Officers.

Abstract

A portion of Air Force Organization Assessment Package (OAP) data base was used to assess job attitudes of Tactical Air Command's maintenance officers and compare them to those of other maintenance officers and of officers working in non-maintenance career fields. Analysis of variance and multiple comparisons were performed on factors extracted from the OAP, which measured the work itself, work group process and work group output and how they relate to job attitudes. The study concludes that TAC maintenance officers and other maintenance officers have similar job attitudes. However, both groups of maintenance officers generally have more positive attitudes toward the job than officers in non-maintenance career fields. The only exception was in the area of job training where officers in the maintenance career field indicated less positive attitudes toward the technical training and on-the-job training they received.
