Enlisted Personnel Indivdualized Career System (EPICS): Acceptance and Use of Job Performance Aids (JPAs)

Abstract

This report provides results of the test and evaluation (T&E) of the job performance aids (JPAs) developed within an integrated personnel system framework and in accordance with the principles of job design for use in the Enlisted Personnel Individualized Career System (EPICS). Attitudinal data on JPAs were collected after EPICS personnel had been onboard ship approximately 15 months. Shipboard administrators and EPICS personnel assessed the JPAs as well- designed, complete sources of technician information. EPICS personnel of varying FT eligibility, general aptitude, and reading ability preferred JPAs for first time and infrequently occuring tasks. Because of better implementation in the Atlantic fleet, target personnel in the Atlantic fleet preferred JPAs more for all task types than did personnel in the Pacific fleet.
