Evaluation of Civil Engineering Work Group Characteristics Resulting from an Operations Branch Reorganization.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate from the perspective of group behavior the reorganization of Strategic Air Command, Civil Engineering Operations Branches into maintenance work groups. The study had three basic objectives: 1) Evaluate the validity and the reliability of the survey instrument used in the study; 2) Evaluate the usefulness of a theoretical group behavior model as a group behavior measurement tool; and 3) Compare the job related attitudes, group characteristics, group processes, and perceived group effectiveness within a reorganized Operations Branch to the job related attitudes, group characteristics, group processes, and perceived group effectiveness within a non-reorganized Operations Branch. The study resulted in the validation of the survey instrument and verification that the theoretical group behavior model could be used as a group behavior measurement tool in the field. (Theses)
