Abstract
This thesis is an analysis of the methods used by top-level
Marine Corps financial management to measure the
effectiveness of the active duty military pay system.
Specific characteristics of measurement quality, usefulness,
and motivational capability are discussed. Current measures
used to monitor effectiveness are described, including those
of the Marine Corps Disbursing On-Site Examination Teams and
the Disbursing Performance Standards Program. These measures
are then analyzed in relation to the specific measurement
characteristics. The thesis concludes that the current
measurement process does not appear to provide adequate
information to monitor pay system effectiveness appropriately.
Recommendations to improve the measurement system
include reporting more information on the accuracy and
timeliness of the pay system as a whole (as opposed to that
of individual commands) , placing more emphasis on measuring
and reporting pay-related administrative performance, and
reporting more information relevant to the effectiveness of
the automated portion of the system (the computer).
