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.
