Information Needs of Enlisted Soldiers when Making a Special Forces Career Decision by Ann M. Herd,Judith E. Brooks Pdf

This research identifies the kinds of additional information enlisted soldiers need when considering a Special Forces (SF) career. Researchers examined existing survey data and findings from SF recruiters and new SF recruits to identify gaps in job information. In addition, they conducted structured interviews and/or surveys with enlisted SF soldiers, SF wives, and commanders and staff within the SF community to determine the specific information that recruits need. Researchers concluded that soldiers need additional information in four key areas: family-related information, Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and SF Group assignment processes, training and preparation, and SF missions and activities. They suggested ways to address the information gaps in these areas and proposed an outline for an information booklet that could serve as a realistic job preview. The booklet will provide comprehensive, realistic information about SF to prospective recruits and may also support SF recruiter training. Realistic job preview, Special forces, Special forces families, Recruiting.

Evaluation of a Realistic Job Preview for U.S. Army Special Forces by Judith E. Brooks Pdf

"This report documents research to evaluate a realistic job preview (RJP) booklet for soldiers and families interested in U.S. Army Special Forces (SF). The RIP provides accurate, detailed information about important aspects of SF jobs. Recruiters began distributing it in 1994 to potential recruits to encourage informed decisions about joining SF and to help prepare those who volunteer. The evaluation objectives were to: (1) assess and describe booklet implementation, (2) assess the impact on recruits' commitment to joining SF, and (3) document ideas for improvement. We collected survey data from recruiters and from new recruits before and after booklet fielding. The data showed that soldiers who received and read the RJP booklet tended to be located at posts with a strong SF presence and tended to be relatively knowledgeable about SF. The selective nature of our sample of booklet readers made interpretation of the evaluation data difficult. However, the RJP appeared to provide new and important information that was often used in the decision process. Wives in particular seem to have benefited from the information. Recruiters and soldiers reacted favorably overall. The findings supported continuation of the booklet with modifications such as additional detail on Family Support Groups and deployments, and minor formatting changes."--DTIC.

The Changing Nature of Work by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Committee on Techniques for the Enhancement of Human Performance: Occupational Analysis Pdf

Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors. This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work. Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work. Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies. Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.

Barriers to Minority Participation in Special Operations Forces by Margaret C. Harrell Pdf

RAND's National Defense Research Institute was asked to assess minority representation and recruiting in special operations forces. Our study is a quantitative and qualitative research effort to evaluate the level of minority representation in special operations forces and the reasons for current representation and to suggest policy changes that might, if necessary, increase minority representation in these forces. The study may be of interest to other agencies or organizations concerned with issues of minority representation, both within and outside the Department of Defense.
