Research Needs in the Management of Concurrent Dual Career Development: Military and Industry Findings and Research Approach
Abstract
The development of members of the URL community as potential Materiel Professionals (MPs) is extremely vital to the Navy because of the operational experience that these officers can bring to the MP positions. However, few junior officers have developed their MP abilities in the past. The Navy currently has not developed policies to aid the URL officer in the simultaneous development of two partially related skills. Therefore, there is a need to develop a framework for understanding and identifying the parameters involved in the effective design and administration of policy for URL officers in the concurrent development of dual careers. This report describes policies and practices used in other organizations (Air Force, Army, and industry) to manage dual career personnel. The results of a literature review (the first report in the series) and the review of external experience are compared with the Navy's policies, practices, and future needs. The voids that are identified between what are needed and what are present are used to specify the research that should be done to provide the policy, practices, and technology required to meet the Navy's requirements for managing the URL MP manpower resources.
