 | This study presents partial results from an ongoing research effort which is investigating the linkages between taxonomies of work and human abilities. Results are presented from a cross-system comparison of the dimensions underlying ability-requirement matrices derived from three structured job analysis questionnaires and three sets of cognitive, physical, psychomotor, and sensory abilities. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted on the intercorrelations of mean ability-requirement ratings of nomothetic job elements. The Analyses ... |

| General nomothetic job descriptors (NJDs) are useful in describing, comparing, and grouping a broad spectrum of jobs. Moreover, NJDs are potentially linkable to measurable human attributes through the "job component" approach under which attribute-requirement weights are derived for a universal set of job components (NJDs or NJD factors). Subsequently, attribute-requirement estimates can be derived for any job that has been rated or scored on the weighted components. This study explored ... |

|
| This study was designed to develop a rating instrument to measure the effectiveness of the first phase of management education for an Air Force officer. An officer's ability to lead, the first objective of management training, is intrinsically related to the ability to write, speak, and solve problems. These were behaviorally stated in a 60 item survey. Supervisors (N = 174) were asked to rate the frequency of occurrence of ... |
