The objectives are (a) to clarify the meaning of organizational productivity as it applies to Air Force organizations, (b) to describe and critique productivity measurement methods, (c) to describe a procedure for generating measures of productivity in Air Force organizations, and (d) to summarize research which evaluates productivity enhancement methods. The report has seven chapters and an appendix. Chapter I is an introduction. Chapter II reviews various definitions of productivity and contrasts them with two related concepts-quality of working life and organizational effectiveness. Chapter III reviews the definition of productivity as it relates specifically to the Air Force. Chapter IV provides a taxonomy and critique of measures of efficiency, effectiveness, and combined methods that integrate efficiency and effectiveness measures into a comprehensive measurement strategy. Chapter V draws conclusions from the review and implications for Air Force productivity measurement methods. Chapter VI describes a method for generating productivity criteria for Air Force organizations and Chapter VII describes a field demonstration of the methodology. Since the ultimate purpose of measuring productivity is to make improvements, the Appendix highlights the major findings of the literature on productivity enhancement. (Author).

Four job evaluation factors were used as the basis of rating 10 Air Force specialties. For each factor three different methods were used in constructing the scale: (1) each scale division was defined and illustrated; (2) neither scale division definitions nor examples were used; and (3) definitions were used but the examples were omitted. Ratings by samples of aviation cadets were analyzed for effects of method on mean ratings. For three of the four factors, the mean ratings obtained were not different as a function of the method of scale construction. Methods 1 and 3 were about equally reliable, both yielding more reliable means than method 2. Method 3 is suggested as being the most effective because the task of the rater is somewhat simpler than for method 1 and the reliability is higher than for method 2.
