Book Officer Individual Differences

Download or read book Officer Individual Differences written by Stephen J. Zaccaro and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project investigated individual differences in knowledge, skills, abilities, and personality traits as contributors to long-term career continuance and performance. The research was done to help inform the implementation of new officer selection tests. This effort built upon an existing dataset consisting of test scores from an extensive test battery administered to Army officers in 1992 and 1993. Long-term criteria (i.e., career continuance and highest rank achieved) were retrieved from the Officer Longitudinal Research Data Base (OLRDB), which contained officer personnel records updated through FY 2008. Several individual difference measures were found to predict long-term officer continuance and advancement, such as: complex problem solving, creative thinking skills, tolerance for ambiguity, and responsibility. These findings will help inform ARI's ongoing research efforts to develop new selection tests for officer candidates that enhance officer career continuance and performance. Particular attention should be directed at measures of complex problem solving and creative thinking skills as these were found to be efficient predictors of the criteria of interest. In addition, these cognitively based selection tools may be supplemented with social, motivational, and personality measures."--Abstract.

Book Minority and Gender Differences in Officer Career Progression

Download or read book Minority and Gender Differences in Officer Career Progression written by Susan D. Hosek and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the military draft ended in 1975, newly commissioned officers haveincluded increasing numbers of minorities and women. These officers must beretained and promoted for the senior officer ranks to become as diverse asthe junior officer ranks are today. This report examines whether minorityand women officers obtain these promotions and choose to continue in theircareers at the same rate as other officers. The authors conducted tworesearch efforts: analyzing personnel records and interviewing midcareerofficers, personnel managers, and promotion board members individually andin focus groups. Results for minorities other than blacks were limited dueto small sample sizes. White women were found to be less likely to reachhigher officer ranks than were men, mostly because they chose to leave themilitary between promotions. Black male and black female officers generallyfailed promotions in higher proportions than did white males, but were morelikely to stay in the military between promotions. The interviews and focusgroups revealed different perceptions about careers: Black officers seemedto have greater difficulty forming all-important peer and mentorrelationships and overcoming initial expectations of lower performance.Women's careers have been affected by limited occupational opportunities,inconsistent acceptance of their role as military officers, harassment, andfamily conflicts.
