This thesis explores the structural and organizational
changes in public works management which have had some unforseen
consequences for Public Works Centers, Activity Civil
Engineers and Staff Civil Engineers in the United States Navy.
Initially, research was conducted by written survey,
compilation of Public Works Centers Commanding Officers
'
comments, and review of historical data. This was followed
by personal interviews with Activity Civil Engineers, Staff
Civil Engineers, and Public Works Center's senior Civil
Engineer Corps and civil service managers in San Diego,
California.
Findings concerning the public works management environment
in the Navy and the perceptions of Commands and individuals
regarding Activity Civil Engineer and Staff Civil Engineer
billets are presented. The relationships and implications
of these findings are discussed and some recommendations
are made which are intended to improve total public works
management support of Fleet commands in the unilinear Navy.
