Tests of a measure of work and responsibility in some naval units of the Canadian Forces / by D. R. Hansen.D68-13/3-1975E-PDF

"Time-Span of Discretion (TSD), a measure of work and responsibility, proved to be measurable in most of the work-roles examined in three naval units of the Canadian Forces. The results showed it to be a valid indicator of work-level and support those who claim that it is used unconsciously by everyone. Rank structure was found to be the prime references employed by service personnel to assess the 'fairness' of their pay, with TSD serving a secondary role. Most of those interviewed felt themselves to be underpaid, especially those who filled positions of higher rank than their own. The present rank structure for NCOs was found to be poorly suited to organizational needs aboard ship"--Abstract, page i.
