Human Resources Officers' Role in Supporting Fleet Operational Requirements

Abstract

The United States Navy's Human Resources (HR) officer community was established to bridge a divide between government civilian HR professionals, many of whom lack an appreciation of operational requirements, and unrestricted line officers, many of whom lack familiarity with HR theory and large-scale human resources management. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a gap between what HR officers provide to operational forces and what unrestricted line officers believe HR officers can and should provide. Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that Human Resources officers' role in supporting fleet operational requirements do not meet unrestricted line officers' expectations. This study attempts to quantify and articulate this split. This research attempts to enumerate these perceptions and draw conclusions about unrestricted line officers' perceptions of the role of Human Resources officers in supporting fleet operational requirements.
