Book Description
GAO examined Army efforts to rectify skill imbalances in light of the highly favorable recruitment and retention environment of the past 2 years. The review focused on military occupational specialties (MOS) which have either significantly more or fewer soldiers than the Army requires in these occupations. GAO found that staffing imbalances have existed since 1973. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 1983, about 66 percent of the Army's MOS were imbalanced and imbalances have also occurred for various pay grades and years-of-service groups within specific MOS. In 1982, the Army began to place greater emphasis on correcting the grade distribution imbalances of noncommissioned officers within career management fields to improve skill matches, focus on critical skills, eliminate poor performers, and support modernization. The Army attempted to resolve the imbalances through limiting entry of prior service reenlistees to specific understrength MOS, reducing promotion opportunity in overstrength MOS, reclassification, and changing retention criteria. Despite these efforts, the Army has made relatively little progress toward reducing skill imbalances; however, it has reduced the imbalances of noncommissioned officers within career management fields. GAO found that Army reenlistment practice, which allows first-term soldiers to reenlist in their present MOS, impedes progress toward reducing skill imbalances. The Air Force's career reservation system, which requires all eligible first-term reenlistees to make a job reservation, demonstrates how a program of controlling first-term reenlistment can be designed. In the Air Force, reservations are limited by occupational need and Air Force personnel who are unable to obtain a reservation within their occupation must retrain for a shortage occupation or leave the service.

The Changing Nature of Work
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309172926
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors. This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work. Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work. Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies. Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.
