The Measurement of Army Battalion Performance
Abstract
It has been known that effective Army units have high morale and favorable command climates. What has not been known, however, and what has remained a matter of debate, is how this comes about. Does command climate contribute to unit effectiveness or is unit effectiveness a necessary antecedent to a favorable command climate? Or, are command climate and unit effectiveness concurrent product of some third organizational attribute, such as the characteristics of the unit commander. The Command Climate Project was begun INFebruary, 1978 to address these questions. Specifically, this research was aimed at defining the causal dynamics between command climate and morale on the one hand and battalion effectiveness on the other.
