| 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. |
