Profile of an Effective Engineering Manager at the Naval Avionics Center

Abstract

This thesis examines behaviors that affect the managerial effectiveness of first-level engineering supervisors (branch managers) at the Naval Avionics Center. Data were collected using a survey designed and administered by the authors and their advisors. The survey asked engineers to rate their manager on a wide range of managerial behaviors to answer questions representing several effectiveness related variables. The effectiveness variables were correlated with each specific managerial behavior to identify which behaviors had the strongest relationship with the effectiveness outcomes. The results were used to develop a profile of an effective engineering manager at the Naval Avionics Center.
