SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1 Survey Coverage Survey results are based on responses from 1.923 PMEL personnel whocompleted survey booklets This represents 72 percent of all assigned 324X0 airmen. Incumbeniswere surveyed across all major using commands and include 3-. 5-. 7-. 9- and CEM-skill levelpersonnel

2 Career Ladder Structure Eight clusters and three independent job types are identified in the324X0 specialty The career ladder structure is organized around the different test measurementand diagnostic equipment (TMDE) including avionics-peculiar support equipment. The largest job.Frequency Generating and Measuring Equipment. encompasses Waveform Analysis EquipmentTACAN il4icrowave Equipment. F-15 Unique Weapons System PME, as well as Quality ControlOther jobs include Voltage. Current and Impedance Equipment Maintenance. F-16 Unique WeaponsSystem PME Maintenance. Electromechanical and Dimensional Equipment MaintenanceManagers'Supervisors Quality Assurance. PMEL Automated Management Subsystem (PAMS)PMEL Technical Training Technical Order Library (TODO). and PMEL Scheduling

3. Career Ladder Progression. Both 3- and 5-skill level personnel are performing jobs primarilytechnical in nat re. with little responsibility for supervision and management The jobs performedby 7-skill leve' airmen reflect a decline in the time spent performing technical tasks. whiiesupervisory responsibilities increase sutstantially. The 9- and CEM-level personnel performpredominantly supervisory and managerial functions.

4 AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions: The descriptions in AFP 39-1 for the 324X0 PMEL career laddeprovide a broad and accurate overview of tMe tasks and duties performed,

5 Training Analysis: The Specialty Training Standard (STS) and Plan of Instruction (PO!) are notgenerally supported by OSR data when measured against standard ATC criteria listed in AFR 8-13and ATCR 52-22 Consequently, an alternative approach in reviewing these documents issuggested. This approach, using percent members performing data across jobs, and/or labs. lendssupport to many additional areas. PMEL functional and training managers should closely examinethese job- and/or lab-related data to ensure that both the STS and POI reflect accurate andcomprehensive training requirements for the PMEL career ladder.

6. Job Satisfaction: Overall. PMEL respondents are generally satisfied with their jobs Members ineach career ladder job responded with similar high overall percentages of satisfaction membersacross four indicators, with "sense of accomplishment from work" being rated the lowest Jobsatisfaction is similar or slightly higher between the PMEL career ladder and a comparative sampleof Mission Equipment Maintenance personnel surveyed in 1989. !n terms of changes in jobsatisfaction since the last OSR in 1984, mixed results were found. While job interest decreased forthe 1-48 and 49-96 month TAFMS groups, all members show a higher view of perceived utilization oftheir training than was noted in the 1984 OSR.

7. Implications: The diversity of the AFSC 324X0 career ladder is such that the usual ATCmeasurement criteria for ABR training does not support the malority of the current entry-levelcourse. Using job- and/or lab-related data. a full comprehensive review of training documents andprograms is needed to ensure training requirements for the PMEL career ladder are accuratelystated. and appropriate training is being provided in both the tech school and via on-the-job trainingThe AFR 39-1 job descriptions are adequate for all skill levels

Background

Acccrding to AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions for AFSC 324X0. dated 31 Oct 88. PrecisionMeasurement Equipment Laboratory personnel repair, calibrate, and certify test measurement anddiagnostic equipment (TMDE), including laboratory standards and manual and automatic testequipment (ATE). They use TMDE to perform voltage, current, power, impedance. frequency,microwave. temperalure. physical-dimensional. and radiac measurements. In addition. AFSC 32470technicians aid specialists in preparing calibration responsibility determinations, analyze complexmaintenance problems, and coordinate TMDE mission support requirements. The 32490 and ChiefEnlisted Manager (CEM) PMEL members supervise the inspection, troubleshooting. ove ,1aul,modification, repair. and calibration of TMDE, including automatic test stations, laboratory standards,and manual and ATE. They perform this supervisory role within a geographical area ofresponsibility.

Personnel entering the PMEL career iadder come from civilian life via technical training, orcross-train from electronic, avionics, or maintenance specialties, The technical school is located atLowry AFB CO and is a Joint Service school with Army and Marine Corps students and instructors.

The 324X0 specialty requires an ASVAB electronic score of "67" and a strength aptitude score of"J" (60 Ibs) to qualify for entry. Completion of general educational development equivalency or highschool with courses in physics and electronics, trigonometry, and algebra is desirable.

The student flow for FY90 was 238, with a projected student flow for FY91 of 152. The eliminationrate is planned as 8 percent, but in FY89 the wash out rate was approximately 5 percent from theresident course.

The 33-week G3ABR32430-002 Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory Specialist course isa basic course designed to teach the use of AF base calibration standards. It teaches students howto analyze and isolate malfunctions and how to repair and calibrate electrical/electronic precisionmeasuring equipment. The course emphasizes the prmnc~ples of electrorics and metrology (thescience of measurement) Complction of this course is mandatory for award of AFSC 32430.

AFSC 324X0 members work in Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratories (PMEILs)Authorizations for PMEL equipment and facility requirements are tailored to support base missiondemands. PMELs are the common link for base-level measurement and maintenance for allsystems in the Air Force. PMELs are of several different types:

Type I. This laboratory maintains the Air Force's highest measurement standdrds certified bythe National Bureau of Standards (NBS), U.S. Naval Observatory. or other nationally recognizedstandards. Located at Newark AFS OH. it consists primarily of civilians.

Type IIA. These base-level PMELs are operated by Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) andtheater support commands and provide support to air logistics centers (ALC) and/or designatedgeographic area. The three Type IIA PMELs with AFSC 324X0 airmen assigned are located atBitburg AB GE, Elmendorf AFB AK, and Kadena AB JA.

Type 1iB. This base-level PMEL. the most common, supports aircraft, missiles, ground systems.and other equipment on base or in a geographical area.

Type 11C. This PMEL provides support to research, development, tests, and evaluation programsthat are normally conducted under the direction of the Air Force Systems Command (AFSC).

Type lID. This PMEL satisfies specific mission requirements and normally receives calibrationsupport from the 'ype I PMEL. Similar to the Type I PMEL, it is located at Newark AFS OH and hasno military personnel assigned.

Type I1. Located at detached locations, these PMELs satisfy specific mission requirements.Normally receiving calibration support from Type II PMELs, they are not authorized at installationswhere a Type II PMEL exists. Type III PMELs are manned by civilian personnel.

Type IV. This PMEL supports the F-15 or F-16 weapon systems through the use of atransportable measurement system in both fixed and deployed locations. Although a Type IV PMELreceives calibration support from a Type II PMEL, they may be located at installations where Type IIPMELs exist.

There are 145 active duty PMELs worldwide which support approximately 800,000 PME units orpieces of equipment. The type of PME supported depends upon the mission and systems of thebase or region the PMEL supports. For this reason, PMEL jobs are many and diverse. PME supportcomes from a variety of operations and locations; some on the same base, others from a largeregion. PME varies widely in type, ranging from mechanical measuring equipment, X-rayequipment, and communications and other electronic equipment to avionics equipment. In technicaljobs, most specialization is by type of equipment worked on, or "K area. The letter "K" is derivedfrom a letter used in the alpha-numeric designators for the TOs which prescribe most of thealignment, calibration, and troubleshooting procedures for PME. There are approximately 9,000 "Kprocedures. Each procedure prescribes work for perhaps 100 of the 800,000 PME units in the AirForce.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

Inventory Development

The data collection instrument for this occupational survey was USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-324-870 A preliminary task list was prepared by the Inventory Developer after carefullyreviewing previous 'ask lists, current career ladder publications, training documents, and directivesto (t'Prmin the appropriateness of each task. This tentative task list was refined and validatedthrough personal interviews with 139 subject-matter experts (SMEs) representing 14 operationalbases and 1 training base. Field interview locations. were determined based on the recommendationof MAJCOM Functional Managers and the Technical School Training Manager. This providedmaximum coverage of the career ladder by visiting bases/units representing each type of PrecisionMeasurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL). Bases visited were:

This process resulted in a final job inventory containing a list of 1,284 tasks grouped under 22duty titles and a background section asking for such information as type of PMEL assigned. PMELarea where most time is spent, and type of equipment used or operated in present job. Threequestions concerning fiber optics, torque wrenches, and lasers were added at the request of careerfield managers to identify future training needs.

Survey Administration

From July through December 1989 Consolidated Base Personnel Offices (CBPO) at operationalbases worldwide 'administered the inventory to all eligible DAFSC 324XG personnel Memberseligible for the survey consisted of the total assigned populaion, excluding the following 1)hospitalized personnel. (2) members in transition for a permanent change of station: (3) membersretiring during the time inventories were administered to the ladder: and (4) members in the job lessthan 6 weeks. Participants were sele'ted from a computer-generated mailirY ist obtained frompersonnel data tapes maintained by the AF Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL

Each individual who filled out an inventory booklet first completed an identification andbiographical information section. and then checked each task performed in their current job Nextmembers rated these tasks on a 9-point scale showing relative time spent on each task ascompared to all other tasks checked. Ratings ranged from 1 (very small amount of time spent) to 9(very large amount of timk" spent)

To determine relative percent time spent for each task checked by a respondent, all of theincumbent's ratings are assumed to account for 100 percent of his or her time spent on the job. Therating for each task is divided by the sum of all the ratings, then multiplied by 100 to provide arelative percentage of time for each task. This procedure provides the basis for comparing tasks interms of both percent members performing and average relative percent time spent

Survey Sample

Table 1 displays the MAJCOM distribution of survcy respondents corresponding with the percentof assigned personnel as of August 1989. As shown in Table 1. a greater percentage of 324X0members are assigned to TAC than to the other MAJCOMs. In addition. Table 2 displays surveyrespondents across paygrade groups. Approximately 33 percent of saipied 324X0 personnel arestaff or technical sergeants (see Table 2). As illustrated in these tables, the survey sample isrepresentative and comprehensive.

Task Factor Administration

Selected senior personnel completed a second booklet in addition to the job inventory booklet.This second booklet is used to gather information for either training emphasis (TE) or task difficulty(TD). The TE and TD booklets are processed separately from the job inventories and provide taskrating information which is used in a number of different analyses discussed in more detail in thefollowirg section of this report.

Task Difficulty (TD). TD is defined as the length of time an average airman needs to learn atask. Given this definition, 76 senior technicians rated the difficulty of all the inventory tasks on a9-point scale (from extremely low to extremely high). A statisticai measurement of ratingagreement, known as the interrater reliability, indicated acceptable agreement among raters as tothe relative difficulty of the tasks. TD ratings were adjusted so tasks of average difficulty would haveratings of 5.00. The resulting data are essentially a rank ordering of tasks indicating the degree ofdifficulty for each task in the inventory.

Training Emphasis (TE) TE is a rating of which tasks require structured training for first-term

personnel Experienced technicians (primarily 7-skill level) completing TE booklets were asked to

rate tasks on a 10-point scale (from no training emphasis to extremely high training emphasis:

Ratings were independently collected from 174 NCOs A statistical measurement of their

agreement known as the interrater reliability, was again found to be acceptabla The average TErating for the career ladder is 1 38. with a standard deviation of 1.27 These data also provice

essentially a rank ordering of tasks whereby those with the highest ratings are perceived as most

imPortant for structured training

E ratings ~pro,jde objective information which should be used along with TD and percent

proide information on how many personnel pertorm the tasks: TE and TD ratings provide insights

on tnich tasks need training Using these factors, in conjunction with appropriate training

documents and directives, career ladder managers can tailor training programs to accurately reflect

the needs of the user by more effectively determining when. where, and how to train first-enlistment

AFSC 324X0 personnel

Data Processing and Analysis

Once lob inventories are returned from the survey incumbents, task responses and background

information are optically sLanned and entered into a UNISYS 11000 mainframe computer

Computer-generated programs. using Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Program (CODAP?

techniques are then applied to the data.

CODAP produces composite job descriptions for respondents based on their ratings of specific

,nventory tasks. These job descriptions provide information on percent members performing each

task the relative average percent time spent performing tasks, and the cumulative percent time

spent by all members performing tasks in the inventory. In addition to the job descriptions based

upon inventory task data, the program produces summaries that show how members of each group

responded to each background item. Background items aid in identifying characteristics of the

group such :is DAFSCs represented, time it career ladder, total active federal military service

(TAFMS). txptrieiice in various functional areas, equipment operated. and job satisfaction leve!s

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)

A key aspect of the USAF Occupational Analysis Program is to examine the job structure of a

career ladder. Based on incumbent responses to survey questions, the tasks performed by career

ladder personnel are examined and lobs are identified based on the similarity of tasks and the

reative time they spend performing the tasks. The resulting job structure is then compared to

official career ladder documents. This information can be used to examine the accuracy and

completeness of career ladder documents (AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions and Specialty Training

Standards) and to gain an understanding of current utilization patterns.

7

For this report the career ladder structure is described in terms of clusters and independent jobtypes The job type is the basic unit of job analysis. It represents a specific group of individualsperforming basically the same tasks and spending similar amounts of time on those tasks. Whenjob type members perform tasks in common with other groups, they merge to form a larger unit ofrelated jobs termed a cluster. Specialized job types too dissimilar to fit within a cluster are labeledindependent job types (IJT).

Structure Overview

The specialty job structure of the Precision Measuring Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) careerladder was determined by performing a job type analysis of the survey data provided by the 1,923survey respondents. The jobs performed by these airmen separated into eight clusters and threeindependent lob types, as shown in Figure 1.

The eight clusters and three independent job types are listed below The stage (STG) numberbeside each title is a computer-generated reference number. The letter "N" stands for the numberof personne! in each group.

Descriptions of Career Ladder Jobs

I. FREQUENCY GENERATING AND MEASURING EQUIPMENT CLUSTER (STG54, N=799)These 799 airmen form the largest group, representing 42 percent of the total survey sample. Theyprimarily perform maintenance on frequency generating and measuring equipment, and waveformanalyzing equipment. On the average, members report performing 147 tasks. Common tasksinclude:

calibrate time mark generatorscalibrate RF signal generatorscalibrate distortion analyzerssolder or desolder ESDScalibrate horizontal time base plug-in unitscalibrate analog oscilloscopescalibrate function generators

Within this cluster, five job variations were noted. Four (Waveform Analysis Equipment, TACAN,Microwave Equipment, and F-15 Unique Weapon System PME) differed primarily due to the amountof time spent focusing on their respective special equipment. The fifth variation is Quality Control,and these personnel differed in that they spent a great portion of their respective job time inspectingoutgoing TMDE for documentation accuracy and cleanliness and also performing quality verificationinspections.

Comprised mostly of 5-skill level personnel, these incumbents average 5 3/4 years of total activefederal military service (TAFMS) and predominantly hold the rank of E-4. They are assigned tovarious types of PMELs including Type IIB (62 percent), Type IIA (10 percent), Type IV (10percent) and Type II/IV (9 percent).

II. VOLTAGE, CURRENT, AND IMPEDENCE EQUIPMENT CLUSTER (STG55, N=406). The 406members of this job represent 21 percent of the total survey sample The overall mission of thesemembers involves maintaining voltage, current, and impedance equipment, such as ammeters andvoltmeters, and this accounts for 30 percent of their relative job time. Maintaining electricalmeasurements consoles and associated equipment occupied 17 percent of their time, while 12percent of their time is spent performing general administrative and supply tasks. Of the average114 tasks performed by these incumbents, typical tasks include:

calibrate AC/DC analog multimeters or accessoriesalign, troubleshoot, or repair electronic voltmetersalign, troubleshoot, or repair vacuum tube voltmetersalign, troubleshoot, or repair digital voltmetersalign, troubleshoot, or repair analog ammeterscalibrate electronic voltmeterscalibrate RF millivoltmeters

Within this cluster, there were seven variations. These included Oscilloscope Maintenance,Counter Calibration, Torque Wrench Maintenance, Electrical Measuring Console Maintenance, OJT,Line Supervision, and Electromechanical and Dimensional Equipment Maintenance.

Comparison of Specialty Jobs

Analysis of It AFSC 324X0 career ladder structure indicates that the PMEL specialty may beconsidered diverse. This diversity exists due to the great variety of missions and systems thePMELs are required to support. The PME varies widely in type including mechanical measuringequipment. X-ray equipment, communication equipment and other electronics equipment, andavionics. In technical lobs, the specialization is by type of equipment worked on. Three PMELclusters, which were distinguished according to PMEL measurements or "K" areas, account for atotal of 1,408 members or 73 percent of the survey sample Each of the "K" areas: K1/K2-VoltageCurrent, and Impedance Equipment. K3-Frequency Generating'Waveform Analyzing Equipment. andK5'6 Electromechanical and Dimensional Equipment. consisted of similar primary functions (align.troubleshoot, repair) for very different types of equipment. Nontechnical support function jobsinclude Supervisory, Training Schedulers. TODO, PAMS, and QA and represent 19 percent of thesurvey sample. These support jobs enhance the quality and efficiency of PMEL maintenance

In summary, specialty jobs show a concentration by broad measurement area. with a slightmajority of job time being spent within that specific area. The remainder of job time is distributedover several technical areas, with the mix of duties and time varying considerably among 324X0personnel.

Job Strut.ture Comparison to Previous Survey

The results of the specialty job analysis were compared to the previous Precision MeasurementEquipment career ladder's occupational survey report, which was completed in February 1984(Report Number: AFPT 90-324-497). Sample size for the 1989 survey was larger--1,923 compared to1,513 for the 1984 survey.

Table 4 lists the major jobs identified in the 1989 survey and their equivalent jobs from the 1984OSR. A review of the jobs performed by the current sample indicates that most of the 1989 jobgroups can be matched to similar jobs performed by the PMEL personnel in the job groups identifiedin the 1984 report. Overall, 7 of the 11 current jobs have an equivalent counterpart in the previousstudy. Three of the jobs not identified in the previous study (Technical Order Distribution Office(TCDO), Scheduling, and PMEL Automated System (PAMS)), have recently been added to the PMELcareer ladder due to changes and advances in the field. Recently, AFR 39-1, 15 Sep 88, effective 31Oct 88, deleted all references to PMEL from the duties and responsibilities section of the 392X0(Scheduler) career field. Thus, all scheduler tasks are now being performed by 324X0 personnel.PAMS is a new system which will eliminate the 'manual" processing of many TMDE maintenanceactions and is supposed to replace the 'Scheduler" (392X0) in the PMEL.

The fourth job that was not found to be an independent job type in the 1984 survey was theRadiac Equipment Maintenance area. It was, however, identified as a variation within two separateclusters: Frequency Generating and Measuring Equipment cluster and Waveform AnalysisEquipment Maintenance Personnel cluster, and also the Electromechanical and DimensionalEquipment Personnel cluster.

Generally, the 324X0 career ladder has remained relatively unchanged in terms of basictechnical job types and personnel makeup. The exceptions are the recent addition of Type IVPMELs which support F-15 and F-16 weapons systems and the additional support jobs includingPAMS and Scheduling.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS

In addition to the analysis of the career ladder structure, an examination of the jobs and tasksperformed at each skill level is helpful in understanding the PMEL specialty The DAFSC analysiscompares the skill levels to identify differences in task performance. This information may then beused to determine whether personnel are utilized in the manner specified by the SpecialtyDescription (AFR 39-1) and may serve as a basis for considering changes to current utIlhzationpolicies and training programs.

Comparison of the duty and task performance between DAFSCs 32430 and 32450 indicates thateven though there are some minor differences, the jobs they perform are essentially the sameTherefore, they will be discussed as a combined group in this report for comparison with the 7-skilllevel group Also, the 9- and CEM-skill levels show little difference between them and will bediscussed as a group.

Table 5 of this report displays the distribution of DAFSC group members across career ladderlobs. As this table indicates, the 1,409 members of the 3-/5-skill level group cover the spectrum ofcareer ladder jobs, with 74 percent of the group found in either the Frequency Generating &Measuring Equipment Maintenance cluster or the Voltage, Current, & Impedance EquipmentMaintenance cluster. Only 2 percent of this group are part of the supervisory cluster A portion ofthe 7-skill level members are also found in the Frequency Generating Equipment cluster (26 percent)and the voltage, current, & impedance cluster (9 percent). A few members from each sk!ll levelgroup are technical training instructors Table 6 shows the average percent time spent on dutiesacross both skill-level groups. The 3-,5-skill level members spend a larger portion of their timeperforming maintenance tasks on voltage, current & impedance equipment, frequency generating &measuring equipment, and waveform analyzing equipment compared to the 7-skill level group (seeTable 6) In contrast, the 7-skill DAFSC members concentrate more on supervisory duties (A thru D)Overall. Tables 5 and 6 reflect apparent differences between the two skill-level groups in terms ofthe jobs and tasks performed Further discussion of this data is contained below.

Skill Level Descriptions

DAFSC 32430/50. These personnel perform an average of 119 tasks. Of the 1.409 (73 percent of thesurvey sample), 679 are members of the Frequency Generating and Measuring EquipmentMaintenance cluster. This accounts for 48 percent of these PMEL members. There are 365 of thesemembers in the Voltage, Current, and Impedance Equipment cluster. Table 6 displays the dutieswhere the 32430150 members spend most of their time. These duties are technical in nature, withthe exception of performing general administration and supply tasks. Most of these members spendtime on tasks such as inspecting, replacing, and servicing batteries and common nonelectricalhardware, and soldering, desoldering circuit components, and other TMDE. A list of representativetasks can be found in Table 7.

DAFSC 32470. The 463 7-skill level personnel (24 percent of the 324X0 survey sample) perform anaverage of 151 tasks. Theqe airmen supervise an average of seven people and spend 55 percent oftheir time on supervisory and managerial tasks (duties A through E). While many of the 7-skill levelpersonnel are members of the PMEL Managers and Lab Chiefs cluster, nearly 44 percent of thesehighly skilled airmen are also present in the more technically oriented jobs (see Table 5) Examplesof tasks performed by this group include write EPRs, counsel personnel on personal ormilitary-related matters, determine work priorities, and annotate training records A more completelisting of characteristic tasks for these incumbents can be found in Table 8.

DAFSC 32490/00. Technical duties no longer occupy these 51 senior managers' time. In fact, asTable 6 shows, most time at these skill levels is involved in management and administration. Thedisappearance of technical duties begins at the 7-skill level and is complete with these personnelSenior career ladder personnel jobs fell within the Managers and Laboratory Chiefs cluster and theQuality Assurance group. They appeared in no other specialty job group identified. For arepresentative task list, see Table 9.

Tasks which best distinguish the 7-skill level personnel from their junior counterparts arepresented in Table 10. Examples of tasks with the greatest difference in members performinginclude junior-level personnel inspecting, servicing, or replacing batteries, and soldering ordesoldering discrete (common) circuit components or single layer circuit boards using solderingirons. Tasks performed by senior-level NCOs include supervising Precision Measuring EquipmentLaboratory Specialists (AFSC 32450), writing recommendations for awards and decorations, andsupervising military personnel with AFSC other than 324X0. As expected, the key difference lies in agreater emphasis on supervisory functions for 7-skill level airmen.

Summary

Career ladder progression within the 324X0 career ladder is typical of most ladders. Both 3- and5-skill level personnel spend the majority of their job time performing technical tasks. Individualspossessing a 7-skill level concentrate their efforts on supervisory and managerial functions, with asubstantial decrease in time spent performing tasks technical in nature. The 9- and CEM-skills aretotally out of the technical tasks and spend all their time in supervisory or inspection roles.

ANALYSIS OF AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS

The results of the skill level and job structure analysis were compared with the AFR 39-1Specialty Descriptions, dated 31 October 1988, for the Precision Measurement Equipment LaboratorySpecialist. The descriptions in AFR 39-1 describe in broad terms the tasks and duties performed bymembers of the various skill-level groups of a career ladder.

Broad descriptions in the AFR 39-1 section for 324X0 personnel accurately reflect actualpersonnel utilization in the field. The descriptions depict the technical aspects of the job, as well asthe major jobs identified in the work structure analysis.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data provide one of several sources of information which can be used tomake training programs more relevant and meaningful to students. The three most commonly usedtypes of occupational survey information are: (1) the percent of first-enlistment (1-48 monthsTAFMS) or first-job (1-24 months TAFMS) personnel performing tasks covered in the job inventory,(2) ratings of relative difficulty of tasks, and (3) the ratings of relative emphasis which should beplaced on tasks for first-enlistment training. These data can be used in examining trainingdocuments, such as the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and the Plan of Instruction (POI).

To aid in the examination of the 324X0 specialty training documents, personnel from LowryTechnical Training Center assisted in matching job inventory tasks to appropriate sections of theSTS and the POI. With these matchings, comparisons of survey data to the training documents wereaccomplished. A complete computer listing displaying percent members performing tasks, trainingemphasis, and task difficulty ratings for each task, along with STS and POI matchings, has beenforwarded to the technical school for its use in further detailed reviews of training documents. TheAFSC 324X0 Training Requirements Analysis (TRA) is scheduled for publication in September 1990and will also be made available to the technical school to assist in the review of the trainingdocuments.

Training Emphasis (TE) and Task Difficulty (TD)

Training Emphasis (TE) and Task Difficulty (TD) ratings are factors that can assist technicalschool personnel in deciding what tasks should be emphasized in entry-level training. TE ratingsprovided by career ladder subject-matter experts yielded an average rating of 1.38, with a standarddeviation of 1.27. Therefore, tasks having a rating of 2.65 (average TE + 1 standard deviation) orbetter, are considered highly recommended for structured training. TD ratings were adjusted to anaverage of 5.00 and a standard deviation of 1.00. Tasks with ratings of 3.00 or better are perceivedas difficult enough to wariant centralized training, For a complete discussion of TE and TD, pleaserefer to the Task Factor Administration section of this report.

Tasks having the highest TE ratings are listed in Table 11. This table includes, for each task, thepercentage of total first-job and first-enlistment personnel performing and the TD rating. Asillustrated in Table 11, these tasks pertain to a variety of technical functions within the specialty. Amajority of these tasks fall into the performing general PMEL maintenance category. In addition,several of these tasks are performed by substantial percentages of first-enlistment personnel andhave average to high TD ratings.

Table 12 lists the tasks having the highest TD ratings. The percentage of total first-enlistment, 5-,and 7-skill level personnel performing, and the TE ratings are also included for each task. Most ofthese tasks relate to PMEL maintenance tasks including aligning, troubleshooting. repairing, andcalibrating various types of PMEL equipment. These tasks are not performed by many airmen andhave low TE ratings.

While reviewing this section of the report, note that tasks performed by moderate to highpercentages of personnel (30 percent or better) in the first-enlistment group may justify residenttechnical training. TE and TD ratings, composed of the opinions of experienced career ladderpersonnel, are secondary factors that may assist training developers in deciding which tasks shouldbe emphasized for entry-level training. Those tasks receiving high task factor ratings, but performedby low percentages of first-enlistment personnel, may be more appropriately planned for OJTprograms within the career ladder. Low task factor ratings may highlight tasks best left out oftraining for new personnel. Training decisions are not only weighed against these factors, butshould be influenced by many other considerations, including command concerns, safety standards,and criticality of the tasks.

Analysis of First-Enlistment Personnel

In this study, there are 811 airmen in their first enlistment, representing 42 percent of all 324X0personnel. These airmen aie qua!ifict at either the 3- or 5-skill level. Figure 2 reflects thedistribution of these first-enlistment airmen across career ladder jobs. As shown in Figure 2. mostof the first-enlistment members are located in three major jobs: Frequency Generating andMeasuring Equipment Maintenance, Voltage, Current, and Impedance Equipment Maintenance, andElectromechanical and Dimensional Equipment Maintenance. accounting for 90 percent of all 1-48months TAFMS respondents.

Table 13 presents a list of representative tasks performed by all 324X0 first-termers.First-enlistment personnel perform an average of 80 tasks. Most of the tasks pertain to themaintenance of PME. Maintenance includes inspecting, servicing, replacing, calibrating, cleaning.soldering and desoldering, aligning, troubleshooting, and repairing.

The highly technical nature of the jobs performed by junior airmen is revealed by the fact thatless than 5 percent of their job time involves supervisory or managerial functions, such as those induties A, B, C, or D (see Table 6). These airmen spend the largest portion of their time performingthe technical duties associated with their respective job specialty.

Further indication of the technical orientation of these airmen is the variety and number ofequipment worked on or utilized by first-enlistment personnel. Table 14 lists equipment itemsworked on by 30 percent or more of first-enlistment personnel. Examples of test equipment utilizedinclude wideband amplifiers, frequency converters, digital oscilloscopes, megohmeters, andwattmeters. A full computer listing of all equipment items and the associated percent .rr:r'_rsperforming is supplied in the Training Extracts and should be used by training specialists todetermine which types of equipment should be emphasized for first-term training.

Review of Specialty Training Standard

An STS is intended to provide comprehensive coverage of tasks performed by career ladderpersonnel. To assess the effectiveness of the AFSC 324X0 STS, Precision Measurement EquipmentSpecialist and Technician specialty, dated July 1987 (with Change 1, October 1988; Change 2, March1989, and Change 3, June 1989), STS sections were compared to survey data. STS elements withperformance elements were reviewed in terms of TE, TD, and percent members performinginformation. STS elements containing general career ladder knowledge were not reviewed. Taskknowledge and performance elements of the STS were compared against the standard set forth inAFR 8-13 (daled 1 August 1986) and AFR 8-13/ATC Supplement 1 (dated 2 March 1987), Attachment1, paragraph A1-3c(4) (i.e., include tasks performed or knowledge required by 20 percent or more ofthe personnel in a skill level (criterion group) of the AFS)).

The traditional method of reviewing an STS is to compare inventory tasks matched against aparticular STS item to first-job (1-24 months TAFMS), first-enlistment, and 5- and 7- skill level data. Ifthe STS item has matched tasks performed by 20 percent or more of one of these criteria groups,survey data are said to support inclusion of the STS item. Using this traditional approach with theAFSC 324X0 STS, very little support was found for most items (see Table 15 for examples ofnonsupported items). Of the 346 STS items matched with survey tasks, 250 items were notsupported, in that tasks matched to the items had less than 20 percent of the criteria groupsmentioned above performing them.

This lack of support across so many elements is no doubt due to the high degree of diversity ofequipment involved within the AFSC 324X0 career ladder. Therefore, a different approach, orperspective, may be warranted for examining the STS to ensure that all major jobs are adequatelycovered on the STS. Thus, another product was created showing percent members performing dataacross the various AFSC 324XO jobs for each STS item. This approach resulted in only 86 STS itemsbeing unsupported (i.e., less than 20 percent of incumbents in any job were performing matchedtasks). Again, these unsupported items were related to specific pieces of equipment. An examplelist can be found in Table 16.

For a detailed list of unsupported STS items and the tasks matched to them, refer to the STSprintout in the Training Extract. Subject-matter experts need to review these unsupported items anddetermine the feasibility of removing them from the STS.

An additional area of analysis involves examining tasks not matched to any STS element.Unreferenced tasks performed by at least 20 percent of a group in the career ladder are performedto an extent great enough to be considered for inclusion in the STS. Additionally, tasks with high TEor TD ratings should be examined for possible STS inclusion. Examples of unreferenced PMEL tasksare shown in Table 17. These tasks cover a variety of functions and equipment. A full list of theseunreferenced tasks can be found at the end of the STS PRTMOD printout found in the TrainingExtract. Subject-matter experts should examine all unreferenced tasks to ascertaii if any should beadded to the STS.

Review of Plan of Instruction (POI)

Based on assistance from technical school subject-matter experts in matching job inventorytasks to POI G3ABR32430-002, dated February 1989, occupational survey data were matched torelated training objectives. A similar method to that of the STS analysis was employed to review thePOI. Information furnished for consideration includes percent members performing data for first-job(1-24 months TAFMS) and first-enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS) personnel, as well as TE, and TDratings for individual tasks. Also observed were data of percent members performing data forpersonnel in specialty jobs, and in the various PMEL laboratories.

POI blocks, units of instruction, and criterion objectives were compared against the standards setforth in Attachment 1, ATCR 52-22, dated 17 February 1989 (i.e., at least 30 percent or more of thecriterion first-enlistment group should be performing tasks trained, along with sufficiently high TEand TD ratings on those tasks). Per this guidance, tasks trained in the course which do not meetthese criteria must be considered for elimination from the formal course if not justified on someother acceptable basis.

Review of the tasks matched to the POI using the standard ATCR 52-22 criteria reveals that onlya limited number of POI units of instruction or criterion objectives are supported by OSR data.Examples of these unsupported units or objectives are presented in Table 18.

Based on these examples, it is evident that a substantial part of the formal course is notsupported by the various OSR data elements which reflect responses from personnel working in thecareer ladder. Training personnel, career ladder managers, and subject-matter experts shouldperform an in-depth review of the entire course to determine which, if any, of the units of instructioncan be justified for retention. Where retention cannot be supported by OSR data, alternativejustification rationale for retention should be documented for future reference.

To assist career field managers and training personnel in examining POI support or nonsupport,assuming formal training is to be provided to all who enter AFSC 324X0, a computer printout wasproduced similar to the one run for the STS analysis. Specifically, this product displays percent offirst-enlistment members performing according to the type of PMEL the member is assignedAnalysis of these job data showed only 13 POI objectives not supported due to having at least 30percent of first-enlistment incumbents in at least one lab performing matched tasks. Theseobjectives involved specific pieces of equipment; i.e., the 5200AC Voltage Standard and the 142NDecade Resistor. Table 19 is an example of the objectives that were not supported.

As ',.,ith tho STS. dnothe, paA of ihe P01 analysis involves examining tasks not matched to anyP0i objectives. Using the special product, several tasks were found that should be considered forinclusion in the POI. These are tasks performed by very high percentages of first-termers in one ormore of the different labs, and also have high training emphasis ratings. An example of these taskscan be found in Table 20. The Training Extract lists these unreferenced tasks at the end of the POIcomputer run. Basing training decisions on this product, suggests considering these unreferencedtasks for possible inclusion to the POI.

Electronic Principles (EP)

The Electronic Principles Inventory (EPI) (AFPT 90-EPI-825) contains 712 electronic principles,skills, and equipment questions covering 39 electronic principle subject areas. Between April andSeptember 1988, the EPI was administered to fully-qualified 5-skill level 32450 personnel whoresponded 'yes" or 'no' to the 712 EPI items, indicating the electronic principles, skills, andequipment they use in their present job.

Based on the resulting data, AFSC 32450 personnel were found covering a wide range ofelectronic principles in performing their jobs. Table 21 lists those electronic areas where 30 percentor more 32450 airmen responded "yes" to performing in their job. These data can be extremelyuseful to subject-matter experts when evaluating those portions of the STS and POI concerningelectronic fundamentals or principles.

JOB SATISFACTION ANALYSIS

Comparisons of group perceptions of their jobs provide career ladder managers with a meanstoward understanding some of the factors affecting job performance of today's airmen. Theseperceptions are gathered from incumbents' responses to five job satisfaction questions covering lobinterest, perceived utilization of talents, perceived utilization of training, sense of accomplishment,and reenlistment intentions. The responses of the current survey sample are then analyzed 'ymaking several comparisons: (1) among TAFMS groups of a comparative sample of personnel fromother Mission Equipment Maintenance specialists surveyed in 1989 (AFSCs 362X4, 411X2A.454XOA/B, 451X4); (2) between current and previous survey TAFMS groups, and (3) across specialtyjob groups identified in the SPECIALTY JOBS section of this report.

First-enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS), second-enlistment (49-96 months TAFMS), and career(C7+ months TAFMS) group data are listed in Table 22 and are compared to correspondingenlistment groups from other Mission Equipment Maintenance AFSCs surveyed during the previouscalendar year. These data give a relative measure of how the job satisfaction of AFSC 324X0personnel compares with that of other similar Air Force specialties. Generally, enlistment groups ofthe DAFSC 324X0 sample indicate higher levels of job satisfaction than do those of the comparativesample. However. all PMEL respondent groups indicated lower intentions of reenlisting.

An indication of changes in job satisfaction perceptions within the career ladder is provided inTable 23, where TAFMS group data for 1990 AFSC 324X0 survey respondents are presented alongwith data from respondents to the last occupational survey report of the career ladder. Generally.perceptions of job satisfaction, including reenlistment intentions and job interest, have decreasedsince the 1984 OSR.

Table 24 presents job satisfaction data for the major jobs (clusters and independent job types)identified in the career ladder structure for AFSC 324X0 An examination of these data can revealthe influences performing certain jobs may have on overall job satisfaction. Job satisfactionindicators for the specialty job groups suggest members across the career ladder are generallycontent. Nine of the eleven jobs responded with high levels of satisfaction. Over 78 percent of eachof the career ladder jobs rated their job as "interesting." Only PMEL Scheduling personnel werebasically dissatisfied, with over 40 percent of the PMEL Scheduling IJT describing their jobs as"so-so" or "dull." Similarly, over 83 percent of each of the major career ladder jobs also indicated ahigh perceived use of training, excluding the Technical Orcier Distribution Office at 67 percent andthe PMEL Scheduling IJT at 54 percent. As a whole, members in the PMEL Scheduling reflectslightly lower levels of satisfaction when compared to the other jobs. Members of this jobexpressed less utilization of their talents and training, as well as dissatisfied feelings towardaccomplishments achieved from their work. On the other hand, the members in the other majorspecialty jobs display high levels of overall satisfaction, with greater than 50 percent respondingpositively across all indicators.

ANALYSIS OF CONUS VERSUS OVERSEAS GROUPS

Comparisons were made between the tasks performed and the background data for DAFSC32450 personnel assigned to the continental United States (CONUS, N =844) versus those assignedoverseas (N = 306). An examination of the tasks and duties performed by the two groups indicatesonly minor differences in equipment maintained and number of tasks performed. In the specialinterest area of this study, we find that more Overseas personnel are in labs that utilize lasers (38percent) compared to the CONUS personnel (19 percent), and the Overseas labs receive moreequipment with fiber optics (18 percent) compared to the CONUS labs (12 percent).

A review of the average number of tasks performed by these two groups indicates that overseaspersonnel tend to perform slightly more tasks (131 tasks) than their CONUS counterparts (125 tasks)Data also indicate that, although the TAFMS for the two groups is equal, overseas personnel have aslightly longer average time in career field (56 months) than CONUS personnel (49 months). Jobsatisfaction indicators say that CONUS personnel are more satisfied with a sense of accomplishmentfrom work, and they feel that both their training and talents are more greatly utilized than do theOverseas personnel.

SPECIAL ISSUES

During the survey process, information can be gathered to address items of concern to careerladder training managers. AFSC 324X0 Functional Managers were particularly interested in what"common" tasks were being performed by PMEL members by the type of PMEL they are assigned.An example task list for each PMEL can be found for the 32450 skill-level personnel at Appendix B.A full listing of tasks performed within each PMEL by total career ladder, and a breakout by typePMEL and skill level within each PMEL will be included in the Training Extract.

Training managers were also interested in the use of equipment with fiber optics, lasers, andtorque wrenches by first-enlistment personnel and other PMEL members, as these are relativelynew technologies being introduced into the PMEL career ladder. Table 25 presents the percentmembers using these equipment in their labs.

IMPLICATIONS

The primary purpose of this occupational survey report is to assist in the updating of trainingrequirements and technical training in the PMEL career ladder. New equipment has been issued,and most PMEL standards have been replaced with state-of-the-art automatic test equipment.Changes in maintenance concepts have also occurred since the last OSR; i.e., circuit board-levelmaintenance instead of component-level maintenance. The survey data will also assist in giving theTechnical School Training Manager broad coverage of tasks performed by Type IV PMELs, as thosewhich support the F-15 and F-16 weapon systems were not included in the previous OSR.

Analysis of the 324X0 career ladder structure identified eight clusters and three independent jobtypes. These groupings remained consistent with jobs found in the previous OSR, with theexception of Scheduling, TODO, and PAMS. The additional jobs identified are due to advancementsin the career ladder. Overall, the utilization of career ladder personnel is accurately reflected in theAFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions.

Analysis of career ladder documents indicates the STS and POI have little support whenapplying the guidelines outlined in ATCR 52-22. This lack of support is probably due to the diversityin scope and content of PME jobs. Only when survey data were examined by job and type PMEL,was much support found. Training personnel and subject-matter experts need to review thesedocuments to determine possible areas for deletion and/or inclusion.

Job satisfaction responses were similar or slightly higher than that of a comparative sample ofother mission maintenance specialists, but satisfaction has slightly decreased in the PMEL careerfield since the previous survey in 1984. Indicators across career ladder specialty jobs exhibiteddispleasure among members performing PMEL scheduling functions. This slightly lower level ofsatisfaction with this job should alert Air Force managers and supervisors to be aware of thisdissatisfying job, and attempt to implement measures to improve it.

The findings of this OSR come directly from survey data collected from Precision MeasurementEquipment specialists worldwide. These data are readily available to training and utilizationpersonnel, functional managers, and any other interested parties having a need for suchinformation. Much of the data are compiled into extracts which are excellent tools in thedecision-making process. These data extracts should be used whenever a training or utilizationdecision is made.
