Job Attitudes of Air National Guard Personnel.

This report is a comparison of Air Force and Air National Guard (ANG) demographic information and job attitudinal differences, as measured by the Leadership and Management Development Center's (LMDC) Orgnaizational Assessment Package (OAP). The data from the UMDC data base were analyzed by comparing demographic and attitudinal results from the OAP individually for officers, enlisted personnel, and GS civilians in the Air National Guard with the results for their data base counterparts in the active duty Air Force. The t-test was used as the procedure to determine if the Air National Guard personnel differed from Air Force personnel at the 95% statistical confidence level. When a significant difference was found, it was analyzed to look for trends, consistencies, and inconsistencies.
