The Development of Administrative Measures as Indicators of Soldier Effectiveness

Abstract

This research was performed as part of Task 4 of Project A, Improving the Selection, Classification, and Utilization of Army Enlisted Personnel. Task 4 is concerned with the development of Army-wide job performance criteria. The specific objects of this activity were (a) to determine which administrative indexes have sufficient variance and acceptable base rates to warrant consideration in the formation of criteria and in-service predictors of soldier effectiveness, (b) to combine these indexes within a set of soldier effectiveness dimensions into psychometrically sound and conceptually meaningful variables, and (c) to identify from which archival sources it is most feasible to obtain them. Keywords: Administrative measures, Soldier effectiveness, Validation, Construct validation, Performance measures, Criterion measures, Army-wide measures, Criterion development, Personnel records.
