Abstract

The study uses statistical analyses of data collected by the Leadership and Management Development Center (LMDC) to compare job attitudes of personnel assigned to the Pacific Air Force (PACAF), with those of USAF personnel assigned to other commands and theaters. The data base was arranged according to two major categories, PACAF and other USAF personnel. These were then organized into three personnel categories: officers, enlisted, and civilian personnel. The comparison of these subcategories shows that job attitudes for PACAF personnel differed significantly from other USAF personnel in 15 of 21 measured attitudinal factors. The study finds PACAF personnel generally show greater job satisfaction than USAF personnel assigned elsewhere.
