A COMPARISON OF ARMY ACQUISITION MILITARY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CIVILIAN'S LEADERSHIP TRAINING, EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT

摘要

The purpose of this 2004 quantitative research study was to compare, using a survey instrument, the leadership training, education, and development regulations and programs of Army officers to that of Department of the Army Civilians (DAC) in a large Federal Research Development and Engineering Center in the Southern United States, to determine why DAC managers and supervisors, are perceived as not having the same leadership training and competencies as their military officer counterparts. The results indicated that DAC are not completing the mandatory leadership courses and may not have the necessary leadership competencies to fulfill the requirements of the Army.
