The Human Dimension of Advising: Descriptive Statistics for the Cross-Cultural Activities of Transition Team Members
Abstract
A survey targeting interpersonal, cultural, language, and advisory activities was administered to 565 Army and Marine advisors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Advisors rated how frequently they engaged in 151 activities, as well as indicated how important those activities were to advisor performance. This Research Note is a companion to ARI Technical Report 1248 (Ramsden Zbylut, Metcalf, McGowan, Beemer, Brunner, & Vowels, 2009), which presented analyses regarding the interpersonal, linguistic, advisory, and cultural activities performed by the 565 transition team advisors in the sample. This document is a supplemental appendix that presents the descriptive statistics for advisor activities within specific positions on military transition teams. The following team member positions are included: Team Chief, Communications Advisor, Company Mentor, Deputy Team Chief, Fires and Effects Advisor, Intelligence Advisor, Logistics Advisor, Maintenance Advisor, Medic, Noncommissioned Officer in Charge, Operations Advisor, Personnel Advisor, and Staff/Maneuver Advisor.
