Development of Possible Guidelines to Assist USAF Operative Employees Transitioning in First-Time Supervisory Positions.

摘要

Air Force personnel making the transition from operative workers to supervisors for the first time need assistance in acquiring fundamentals of supervision which can be applied on the job. This thesis develops and presents a set of representative guidelines to help satisfy this need. Supervisory training programs of industry and the Air Force are reviewed to determine the attitudes, knowledge, and skills required by the first-time supervisor. Materials within these programs appropriate to the Air Force supervisor are collected and organized into a sample self-help handbook which could be used by the first-time supervisor.
