• Abstract:
  A statistical study of training- and job-performance measures of several hundred Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS) representing Enroute, Terminal, and Flight Service Station specialties revealed that training-performance measures reflected: ; 1.performance in the training laboratories; ; 2.academic performance; and ; 3.instructors' opinions. ; In the job-performance area, supervisors seemed to be evaluating ; 1.overall performance of an ATCS; ; 2.his interpersonal orientation; ; 3.job orientation; ; 4.job potential; ; 5.job performance; and ; 6.emotional stability. ; By examining the practicability of the job-performance measures by training performance, aptitude tests, previous job-relevant experience, and demographic characteristics, evidence was elicited that: ; 1.the ATCS specialties differ in the characteristics required for job performance; ; 2.Terminal supervisors more consistently evaluate their ATCS in comparison with Enroute supervisors; ; 3.opinions of the ATCS training-course instructors are the best predictors of subsequent job performance; and ; 4.aptitude tests, previous job-relevant experience, and age at entry into training are related to job performance but not at very high levels.
