Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional performance metrics, such as number of contracts signed per month per Army recruiter, do not adequately measure recruiter effort, skill, and productivity. The authors develop a "preferred performance metric" that takes into account the difficulty of recruiting different types of youth in various markets and propose short-term changes to the system that would more accurately assess recruiter effort and skill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research included both a process evaluation and an outcomes evaluation of the Army Recruiter Course (ARC). The process evaluation examined seven elements of the ARC: (1) Recruiter Candidates, (2) Course Content, (3) Instructional Strategies, (4) Media and Materials, (5) Instructors, (6) Instructional Environment, and (7) Student Evaluation Procedures. The outcome evaluation examined the attitudes that students and instructors held toward the ARC. Student achievement data and attitudes toward the course were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Data were also collected from instructors. Correlational analyses and multivariate tests, along with other procedures, were used to examine the data. The course is regarded positively by both students (past and present) and instructors. Negative correlations between course evaluations and test performance were found, with the exception of performance in the Recruiter Exercise. Generally, the data indicated that the better the student, the more negative the evaluation. In summary, the ARC is effective and is meeting its primary goal. (sdw).

Download or read book Attitudes Aptitudes and Aspirations of American Youth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recruiting an all-volunteer military is a formidable task. To successfully enlist one eligible recruit, the Army must contact approximately 120 young people. The National Research Council explores the various factors that will determine whether the military can realistically expect to recruit an adequate fighting force-one that will meet its upcoming needs. It also assesses the military's expected manpower needs and projects the numbers of youth who are likely to be available over the next 20 years to meet these needs. With clearly written text and useful graphics, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth offers an overview of important issues for military recruiters, touching on a number of important topics including: sex and race, education and aptitude, physical and moral attributes, and military life and working conditions. In addition, the book looks at how a potential recruit would approach the decision to enlist, considering personal, family, and social values, and the options for other employment or college. Building on the need to increase young Americans' "propensity to enlist," this book offers useful recommendations for increasing educational opportunities while in the service and for developing advertising strategies that include concepts of patriotism and duty to country. Of primary value to military policymakers, recruitment officers, and analysts, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and Aspirations of American Youth will also interest social scientists and policy makers interested in youth trends.
Download or read book Evaluation of Recruiter Performance Measures and Policy written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective selection of recruiters is essential to the success of recruitment. To meet this objective, the Recruiter Selection Battery- Experimental (RSB-X) was developed. The RSB-X was administered to over 400 recruiters who entered the Army Recruiting Course during May and June 1985. This report documents the results of the first stages of an attempt to examine the ability of the RSB-X and other characteristics to predict recruiter success. On the basis of interviews with key U.S. Army Recruiting Command personnel and examination of performance records for the sample of recruiters, a definition of recruiter success was developed was developed, multiple measures of recruiter performance documented, and data elements of the RSB-X described. These preliminary activities indicate that an assessment of the ability of the RSB-X and other characteristics gathered at the same time to predict recruiter success can proceed efficiently. (KR).
Download or read book Evaluation and Refinement of a Screening Instrument for U S Army Recruiters written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), and their contractor, Personnel Decisions Research Institutes, Inc. (PDRI) have collaborated to implement the online administration of the Noncommissioned Officer Leadership Skills Inventory (NLSI). The NLSI measures skills and abilities related to NCO performance, including work orientation, interpersonal skills, and leadership capability. They also conducted research to validate the NLSI as a predictor of U.S. Army recruiter performance. The NLSI was successfully implemented as the first online recruiter test administered in proctored settings worldwide. The validation results indicate that the NLSI predicts recruiter training attrition and recruiters' duty performance, as measured by individual recruiter production (e.g., signed contracts).

This book was released on 2000 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an annotated bibliography of research by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) on Army recruiting. Most of the research covered in this report was conducted during the period 1980 and 1999. To provide a framework for this work the research summaries are organized around a model of Army recruitment showing the important factors contributing to successful recruiting. In the model, recruiter production is conceptualized as a joint function of recruiter performance and youths' propensity to enlist. Propensity to enlist is linked to advertising effects and several other environmental factors. Recruiters' performance, in turn, is influenced by their personal characteristics, the training and mentoring they receive, and the level of technical and organizational Support provided to them. The ARI research relating to each of these major components in the recruitment model is documented in this report."--DTIC.
Download or read book Evaluating Military Advertising and Recruiting written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is anticipated that in the coming decade the Department of Defense (DoD) will field and test new advertising and recruiting initiatives designed to improve the recruiting outlook. The DoD needs a comprehensive research and evaluation strategy based on sound research principles that will ensure valid, reliable, and relevant results to discover the most promising policies. The primary objective of this book is to help the DoD improve its research on advertising and recruiting policies. Evaluating Military Advertising and Recruiting: Theory and Methodology presents a framework for evaluation that links different types of research questions to various research methodologies. The framework identifies four major categories of research questions and four broad methodological approaches. The first category of research question asks "What does a target audience see as attractive or unattractive features of a program?" It is well suited to examination via qualitative methods, such as focus groups, unstructured or open-ended surveys, and interviews. The second category of research question asks "What is the effect of a program on specified attitudes or behavioral intentions?" It is well suited to examination via surveys, experiments, and quasi experiments. The third category of research question asks "What is the effect of a proposed new program on enlistment?" It is well suited to examination via experiments and quasi experiments. The final category of research question asks "What is the effect of an existing program on enlistment?" It is well suited to examination via econometric modeling.

Book excerpt: Since the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. has launched several military operations that have increased the operations tempo of the military services and required the large-scale mobilization of reservists. These factors have affected the active Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard, which have shouldered the bulk of the personnel burden associated with ongoing operations in Iraq. To encourage military service, Congress authorized the Army to provide not more than 4 new recruitment incentives. This report: (1) identifies and describes the recruitment incentives the Army has developed; and (2) assessed the extent to which the plans for each incentive included anticipated outcomes and a methodology for evaluating these outcomes.

Download or read book Performance Criteria Development for Army Field Recruiters written by Timothy W. Elig and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of measures which have served as criteria of recruiter performance are discussed. New approaches to productivity measurement are developed to reflect both the relative value of different recruits to the Army and the influence of area productivity of 612 Army recruiters is presented. The large influence of District Recruiting Command fertility on individual recruiter productivity (accounting for 32% of the variance) was found to be primarily due to low priority recruits (those recruits who have low AFQT scores and/or did not get a high school diploma): DRC average production accounts for 34% of the variance in production of low priority recruits while it accounts for less than 9% of variance in production of high priority recruits. Managerial implications of area fertility adjustments of recruiter production are discussed. Recruiter reactions to performance appraisal adjustments for DRC fertility are considered.

Download or read book Development of Behavior Based Scales and Analysis of Recruiter Selection Battery Data for the Army Recruiter Job written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One purpose of the present research was to develop behavior-based rating scales for evaluating enlisted Army recruiter performance. To accomplish this, rating scales developed previously for Navy recruiters were revised with the help of experienced Army recruiters. Retranslations of Army recruiter performance examples into the Navy recruiter dimensions and the final revised behavioral anchors into the same dimensions suggested that (1) the Navy's eight- dimension description of recruiter performance requirements is appropriate for Army use and (2) the final Army recruiter scales with revised definitions and anchors provide a relatively unambiguous depiction of the various performance areas for this job, as well as the effectiveness levels within each area. A second purpose here was to inititate evalution of the experimental Recruiter Selection Battery (RSB-X) for use in identifying persons with high potential for Army recruiting. Toward this end, the RSB-X was administered to 417 trainees in the Army recruiter school. Responses to the RSB-X were scored on four keys developed previously to predict performance in Navy recruiting, and these scores for the Army sample were compared to scores on the same keys obtained by Navy recruiters in a 1977 sample (N = 194). Total scores across all four keys were very similar for the Army and Navy samples. However, on three of the four keys, Army mean scores were significantly different from Navy means.
