Developing the Mid-Level Civilian Logistician: An Empirical Study of United States Air Force GS-12 to GM-13 Professional Development.
Abstract
This study continues five years of AFIT research on the senior Air Force Logistician. The purpose of this research was to use the previously developed AFIT Civilian Model, a weighted model of the background, characteristics, and qualities of ideal senior Air Force civilian logistician, in order to determine the development needs of the population of GS-12 to GM-13 logisticians. The study also surveyed and classified existing professional development programs for civilian logisticians, and evaluated the appropriateness of these programs in meeting developmental needs for GS-12 to GM-13 logisticians. A written survey evaluated these mid-level civilian logisticians against the AFIT Civilian Model's 100 point scale. Structured telephone interviews provided information about the range and variety of existing professional development programs. The research used non-parametric statistics to evaluate program appropriateness by determining the correlation between developmental needs and corresponding programs. (kr)
