A Comparison of Job Attitudes between Air Force Systems Command Acquisition Officers and All Other Air Force Officers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the job attitudes of Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) acquisition officers and all other Air Force Officers. The results of the Leadership and Management Development Center's Organizational Assessment Package (OAP) survey were used as the data source for this study. In order to determine how the job attitudes of AFSC acquisition officers compare with other Air Force officers, two comparison groups were extracted from this data source and statistically analyzed: one group was representative of AFSC acquisition officers and the other group was representative of all the Air Force officers represented in the data source. In 18 of the 21 factors which describe the structure of the OAP, AFSC acquisition officers were found to be significantly lower than other Air Force officers. Also, the acquisition career field was found to be comprised of a large percentage of junior officers. Theses. (RRH)
