Job Attitudes of Air Force Plant Representative Office (AFPRO) Personnel.

This paper is an analysis of the Leadership and Management Development Center's Organizational Assessment Package (OAP) data comparing three groups: Air Force Contract Management Division's Air Force Plant Representative Office (AFPRO) personnel, Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) personnel, and Air Force data base personnel. The data were limited to officer and civilian personnel assigned within the continental United States. The analysis includes discussion of 18 attitudinal factors and 22 demographic variables. The results indicated AFPRO personnel have consistently less positive attitudinal perceptions than either AFSC personnel or Air Force data base personnel. Recommendations include: Continue their current initiatives to increase the stature of AFCMD in the eyes of AFSC and the Air Force. Focus more on motivators than hygiene factors in future initiatives. Look into the feasibility of additional job enrichment for their personnel. Upgrade local AFPRO training programs. Ensure personnel fully understand AFCMD's mission and how it fits into our overall national defense posture.
