Equal Employment Opportunity in the Department of Defense: Enhancing Managerial Responsibility

Abstract

This study is the result of on-site research conducted at eight military installations in the Department of Defense (DOD). Its objective is to determine the extent to which Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is incorporated in the performance appraisals of managers in the Senior Executive Service (SES), GM 13-15 managers and Federal Wage System Supervisors (FWS). Research at each of the eight military installations in study included both interviews with managers to obtain their perceptions and understanding of the EEO role in their performance appraisals and a review of actual managerial performance appraisals conducted in appraisal years 1985, 1986 and 1987. The study reviews federal and DOD EEO policies, particularly those requiring the inclusion of EEO objectives in the performance appraisals of managers. The EEO policies of the military departments are also reviewed to determine what policies are applicable to the military installations examined in the study.
