JOB TYPES OF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS, DAFSC 3034
Abstract:
A job inventory was constructed to cover the tasks of the communications officer, DAFSC 3034. This inventory was administered to all available communications officers and officers in closely related activities during the spring of 1962. Of the 1,204 inventories analyzed, 1,043 were completed by officers in DAFSC 3034. Others were completed by officers in related specialties. Tasks were checked only if they were performed by the respondents. Task grouping analysis resulted in 19 job types. Two of these, comprising 189 and 90 officers, were quite similar to DAFSC 3034 officers as a whole, and a third type of 80 officers emphasized the maintenance aspect of the specialty. Smaller distinct job types could be readily recognized and given appropriate job titles. Author
