Military Research on Performance Criteria: A Change of Emphasis

This paper discusses trends in development and use of performance measures to meet complex needs of the U.S. Army. Examples from the programs of the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences include typical major criteria of individual effectiveness (school grades, ratings, performance tests); measures of unit effectiveness more recently developed (tactical engagement simulation); and measures dealing with human factors problems encountered in systems analysis in the Army. The way in which performance criteria have changed over the years is emphasized.
