Weaknesses of the present U.S. Navy Fitness Report
Reporting System are reviewed and discussed. An alternative
personnel evaluation system is proposed in order to take
advantage of the benefits of several evaluative techniques.
Different evaluation techniques would be used in the several
phases of an officer's career. In the junior officer
(developmental) phase, emphasis would be on management by
objectives, stressing counseling and feedback. In the
middle (staffing/managerial) phase emphasis would be placed
on evaluation for selection and promotion. In the senior
(executive) phase, the use of assessment centers is proposed
Finally, a list of recommendations is provided.
