A Comparison of Job Attitudes: Air Training Command Personnel Versus Other Air Force Personnel,

The Leadership and Management Development Center (LMDC), Maxwell AFB, Alabama, uses a detailed job attitude survey, the Organizational Assessment Package (OAP), to assess the job attitudes of Air Force personnel. This study examines extensive LMDC data (collected through the OAP between 1 October 1981 and 16 September 1985) and compares the job attitudes of Air Training Command (ATC) officers, enlisted members, and civilians to 'other' Air Force officers, enlisted members, and civilians. The study concludes that, while very few demographic differences existed between comparison groups, ATC personnel had more positive job attitudes and higher job satisfaction than their non-ATC counterparts.
