Abstract
The purpose of this report is to document the evaluation of the Experimental Civilian Personnel Office Project (Project EXPO) The aim of Project EXPO was to design and test initiatives that streamlined and simplified personnel management procedures and policies employed in the Department of Defense. Seventeen nonappropriated fund (NAF) sites were evaluated: two U.S. Army Europe, activities located in Heidelberg and Stuttgart, West German),; two Army sites under the Training and Doctrine Command eight Air Force installations, one in Europe, one in the Pacific, and six in the Continental United States, and five Navy sites, four in the United States and one in Spain. NAF sites generate income through some of their activities such as bowling centers and golf courses. The initiatives implemented were designed to (1) enhance the responsiveness, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the personnel system and (2) enable the NAF activities to operate in a manner similar to that of private businesses. The evaluation cover 2-year test period. Data sources included attitudinal surveys; standardized on-site interviews of personnelists, managers, and supervisors; existing data bases: budgetary data; and other documents provided by the test sites. The results indicate that EXPO initiatives had a positive impact on NAF operations.
