SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1. Survey Coverage: Inventory booklets were completed by 498 jobincuments holding DAFSC 982X0 (representing 72 percent of total assignedstrength). This sample was representative in terms of both MAJCOM andgrade distribution and provided a comprehensive view of career ladder jobs.

2. Specialty Structure: Most 982X0 career ladder incumbents work as BaseDenta L oratory Technicians or as Crown and Bridge Fabricators (at botharea and dental laboratories). Nine-skill and CEM personnel grouped into anindependent job type; training personnel grouped with technicians accordingto common tasks performed. Many area dental laboratory personnel formedinto four independent job types, (two related to RPD fabrication, one relatedto ceramic prostheses fabrication, and one related to orthodontic duties).

3. DAFSC and Skill-Level Task Differences: The majoritv of 3- and 5-skilllevel personnel performed technical tasks appropriate to their assignment toeither base or area laboratory. Seven-skill level personnel performedtechnical tasks of increased difficulty and were involved increasingly inadministrative and supervisory roles. The 9-skill and CEM personnel devotedtheir time almost exclusively to management and supervisory duties.

4. Career Ladder Documents: The AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions providegood descriptions of the jobs performed by 982X0 personnel. Currenttraining documents generally were supported by survey data; however, someareas and tasks performed by few first-enlistment personnel were suggestedfor review.

5. Implications: Jobs performed by area dental laboratory personnel weredifferent due to specialization. Area laboratory personnel fabricatedRemovable Partial Dentures (RPDs) and orthodontic appliances; base dentallaboratory personnel did little or none of this work. Some overlap of jobsoccurred in crown, bridge, and Inlay fabrication. Channelizing training couldbe useful if first-enlistment personnel targeted for area dental laboratoriescould be identified early. Survey data did, however, reveal thatapproximately 64 percent of first-enlistment personnel go to a base dentallaboratory for their first assignment.

OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTDENTAL LABORATORY CAREER LADDER

(AFSC 982X0)

INTRODUCTION

This is a report of an occupational survey of personnel in the DentalLaboratory Specialist/Technician career ladder completed by the OccupationalAnalysis Branch, 'USAF Occupational Measurement Center, in July 1982. Thelast occupational survey of this career ladder was conducted in June 1978.The present survey was requested by the School of Health Care Sciences,Training Operations Division, Sheppard AFB TX. A major purpose of thissurvey was to determine whether job differences between 982X0 personnelassigned to base dental laboratories and those assigned to area laboratorieswere sufficiently large to justify channelized technical training.

/

Background

The 982X0 career ladder dates from 1954 and has remained relativelystable. Temporarily, from 1957 to 1961, the 5- and 7-skill levels had twoshreds--A for technicians working with precious metal alloys and B for thoseworking with chrome cobalt alloys. The present structure contains noshredouts at any skill level. In 1978, the CEM code 98200, Dental LaboratoryManager, was added to the skill levels for this career ladder.

Personnel usually enter the Dental Laboratory career ladder by firstattending the J3ABR98230 Dental Laboratory Specialist Course at the School ofHealth Care Sciences, Sheppard AFB, Texas. These personnel may be either

"eline" students from basic training or personnel cross-training from otherspecialties. Upon completion of the 24 week course, graduates are awardedthe 3-skill level. These personnel are then assigned either to one of the sixarea dental laboratories (Barksdale, Lackland, Lowry, and March AFBs, orKlena and Wiesbaden ABs), or to one of the USAF base dental laboratorieslocated worldwide.

The duties of the 3- and 5-skill level Dental Laboratory Specialist aredescribed in AFR 39-1 as fabrication and repair of dental prostheses andappliances, performance of general laboratory administration tasks, andsupervision of dental laboratory personnel. Most fabrication and repair ofdentures, crowns, inlays, etc., are done under supervision of moreexperienced technicians. General administrative tasks include mintenance ofdental laboratory records, preparation of required laboratory reports, andrequisition, storage, and issuance of supplies.

As an aid to better understanding the functions and responsibilities ofdental laboratory personnel, sowe informatlon follows on the organizationalstructure of USAF dental laboratories. Airmen In this career ladder may beassigned to either of two types of dental laboratories: a base dentallaboratory (BDL) or an area dental laboratory (ADL). BDLs are responsiblefor supporting their associated dental facilitip with the fabrication and repairof complete dentures, fixed partial dentures, crowns, and inlays. They mayalso repair removable partial dentures. ADLs support base dental labs withintheir geographic area of responsibility through the fabrication of removablepartial denture frames. The six ADLs represent approximately one-third ofthe career ladder's personnel strength. They support the base labs infabrication of complete dentures, fixed partial dentures, and other fixedbridge work when demands on local resources exceed the ability to producethem. Basically, ADLs function as a centralized facility for the fabrication ofremovable partial denture frames and as a clearing house for other prostheticfabrication or repair backlogged at associated base dental labs.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

Inventory Development

The data collection instrument for this occupational survey was USAF JobInventory AFPT 90-982-466 dated October 1981. A preliminary task list wasprepared after reviewing pertinent career ladder publications and directives,tasks from previous survey inventories, and data from the last occupationalsurvey report (OSR). This preliminary task list was refined and validatedthrough personal interviews with subject-matter specialists from the School ofHealth Care Sciences and experienced senior personnel from one base dentallab and two area dental labs. The resulting job inventory contained a listingof 325 tasks grouped under seven duty headings and a background sectioncontaining such information as grade, lab assignment, duty title, time inservice, job satisfaction and preference in lab assignment, and additionaltraining.

Survey Administration

During the period October 1981 through January 1982, Consolidated BasePersonnel Offices (CBPOs) in operational units worldwide administered theinventory to job incumbents holding DAFSC 982X0. These personnel wereselected from a computer-generated mailing list obtained from personnel datatapes maintained by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL).

Each individual who completed the inventory first completed anidentification and biographical information section and then checked each taskperformed in their current job. After checking all tasks performed, eachmember rated each selected task on a nine-point scale showing relative timespent on that task as compared to all other tasks checked. The ratingsranged from one (very small amount of time spent) through five (aboutaverage time spent) to nine (very large amount of time spent).

To determine relative time spent for each task checked by a respondent,all of an incumbent's ratings are assumed to account for 100 percent of his orher time spent on the job and are summed. Each task rating is divided bythe sum of the total task ratings and multiplied by 100. This procedureprovides a basis for comparing tasks in terms of both percent membersperforming and average relative percent time spent.

Survey Sample

Personnel were selected to participate in this survey to ensure anaccurate representation across major commands (MAJCOM) and paygradegroups. Table 1 reflects the percentage distribution by major command, ofassigned personnel in the career ladder as of October 1981. Also shown isthe MAJCOM percent distribution of survey respondents.

Task Factor Administration

In addition to completing the job inventory, selected senior 982X0personnel (generally E-6 and E-7 technicians) were also asked to complete asecond booklet for either training emphasis (TE) or task difficulty (TD).The TE and TD booklets are processed separately from the job inventories.The rating information is used in several analyses discussed in detail withinthis report.

Task Difficulty. Each senior technician completing a task difficulty bookletwas asked to rate all inventory tasks on a nine-point scale (from extremelylow to extremely high) as to relative difficulty. Difficulty is defined as thelength of time required by an average member to learn to do the task. Taskdifficulty data were independently collected from 27 experienced 7- or 9-skilllevel 982X0 personnel stationed worldwide, with all raters assessing thedifficulty of inventory tasks. The interrater reliability (as assessed throughcomponents of variance of standard group means) was very high--.95. Taskdifficulty ratings were adjusted so tasks of average difficulty would h" a5.00 rating. The resulting data is essentially a rank ordering of ksindicating the relative degree of difficulty for each task in the inven v.

Job Difficulty Index (JDI). After computing the 982X0 task difficultyfor each task item, it was then possible to compute a Job Difficulty(JDI) for the job groups identified in the survey analysis. Thisprovides a relative measure of which jobs, when compared to other jobsidentified, are more or less difficult. An equation using the number of tasksperformed and the average difficulty per unit time spent (ADPUTS) asvariables are the basis for the IDI. The index ranges from 1.0 for veryeasy jobs to 25.0 for very difficult jobs. The indices are adjusted so theaverage JDI is 13.00.

Training Emphasis. Experienced technicians completing training emphasisbooklets were asked to rate tasks on a ten-point scale ranging from notraining required (0) to extremely heavy training required (9). Trainingemphasis is a rating of which tasks require more emphasis in structuredtraining for first-term personnel. Structured training is defined as trainingprovided at resident technical schools, field training detachments (FTD),mobile training teams (MTT), formal OJT, or any other organized trainingmethod. Training emphasis data were independently collected from 43experienced 982X0 7- and 9-skill level personnel stationed worldwide. Theinterrater reliability (as assessed through components of variance of standardgroup means) for these raters was .97, indicating there was good agreementamong raters as to which tasks required some form of structured training andwhich did not.

When used in conjunction with other information, such as percentmembers performing, task difficulty and training emphasis ratings can provideinsight into training requirements. Such insights may help validatelengthening or shortening portions of instruction supporting AFSC neededknowledges or skills.

CAREER LADDER STRUCTURE

The main issue in this survey was to determine if dental laboratoryspecialists assigned to base laboratories and those assigned to regional arealaboratories were performing jobs distinctly different enough to warrantchannelized training. This issue was examined by ascertaining what jobscareer ladder personnel were presently performing and how similar those jobswere to each other.

The set of tasks performed by each person in the survey sampleconstitutes his or her Job or Position. A group of jobs whose personnelperform many similar tasks-and spen-d-similar amounts of time performing themis called a Job Type. Job types having a substantial degree of similarity aregrouped ancT--cal a Cluster. Those specialized job types too dissimilar tofit within a cluster are labeled Independent ob Types.

Based on the analysis of the task data, the survey sample separated intotwo major clusters: (1) Base Dental Laboratory personnel, and (2) Crownand Bridge Fabrication personnel, composed of both base and area laboratorypersonnel. Two independent jobs types, composed of both types oflaboratory personnel, were also identified: Dental Laboratory Managers andOrthodontic Appliance Specialists. The majority of area laboratory personnel,however, formed no single identifiable cluster. They grouped into threeindependent job types relating to work with Removable Partial Dentures (RPD)and Ceramic Prostheses Fabrication.

The division of jobs performed in the 982X0 career ladder, based on tasksimilarity and relative time spent, is illustrated in Figure 1. These clustersand job types are listed below. The group (GRP) number is referenced tocomputer printed information included for use by classification and trainingmanagers. The letter N stands for the number of people in the group.

Eighty-four percent of the survey respondents were performing the jobsgrouped within the two clusters and six independent job types listed above.The remaining sixteen percent performed jobs that did not group with any ofthe defined job types. Job titles for some of these respondents includedinstructor supervisor, metal finishing specialist, and blockout specialist. Theset of tasks performed by these personnel separated these dental laboratoryspecialists from the mainstream of those in the career ladder.

Job Descriptions

The following paragraphs describe the jobs included in the clusters andindependent job types defined during the career ladder structure analysis.

I. BASE DENTAL LABORATORY PERSONNEL CLUSTER (GRP035,N=259). This cluster of survey respondents provides a comprehensive viewof work done at a base dental laboratory. It is also the largest identifiablecluster within the 982X0 career ladder. Comprising 62 percent of the surveysample, cluster members are responsible for performing those duties and tasksrelated to the overall mission of a base dental laboratory, i.e., the fabricationand repair of dental prostheses. Half of the job time was spent performinggeneral laboratory tasks. General laboratory tasks include work withdiagnostic and master casts, repair of broken or fractured dental appliances,fabrication of some types of appliances, and miscellaneous housekeepingactivities. Among these are preparing slurry water, packing molds and flasksfor shipment, and weighing and mixing gypsum products. A list ofrepresentative tasks performed by cluster members appears in Table 5.Fifty-five percent of group members are 5-skill level personnel, with theremainder holding the 3- or 7-skill levels. The job of base dental labpersonnel was the broadest job identified, with members performing anaverage of 100 tasks (out of an inventory which included 325 tasks).

There were four groups identified within this cluster of base dentallaboratory personnel. Two of the groups identified- -Base Dental LaboratoryWorkers (Ia) and Apprentice Laboratory Workers (1d)), performed jobsadequately represented by the cluster description already provided.Apprentice laboratory workers were the most junior and did simple, lesstechnical tasks than the Base Dental Laboratory Workers who were moresenior in TAFMS and grade. Although task similarities among these fourgroups are greater than their differences, two of the groups warrantadditional discussion because they were distinctly different in some aspects ofthe dental laboratory job they performed.

Ib. Base Dental Laboratoy NCOICs (GRP109, N17fl. This jobtype was composeel of--s-enior 5-skill level airmen, as well as some 7- and9-skill level personnel. Each member of this group performed many of thegeneral laboratory tasks discussed for the cluster. Approximately 42 percentof their job time was spent performing general laboratory tasks, while 23percent was spent performing highly technical duties such as fabrication andrepair of removable partial dentures (nine percent), complete dentures (eightpercent), and orthodontic appliances (six percent). In addition, this jobtype was distinct from others in the cluster in members' performance of manysupervisory and managerial tasks. Examples of such tasks performed by 60percent or more of the group members included:

Determine work prioritiesDevelop work methods or proceduresSupervise Dental Lab Apprentices (DAFSC 98230)and Dental Lab Specialists (DAFSC98250)

Write APRsEstablish work schedulesConduct OJTAnalyze workload requirementsEstablish performance standards

Ic. Base Dental Laboratory Fabrication and Repair Personnel(GRP064, N=6. Thi-sob type was composed of experinced-5- an-d-7-sk1level personnel. Twenty-five members of the group are 7-skill level and 47members are supervisors. One-fourth of their job time was spent performinggeneral laboratory tasks typical of the cluster, but their distinctive jobcharacteristic was the 40 percent of their time spent fabricating crowns,inlays, fixed partial dentures, and ceramic prostheses. These technical tasksare among the most exacting and difficult in the career ladder and aregenerally performed only by senior, experienced laboratory specialists.Concentration on performance of highly technical tasks composed much of this

group's job, but supervision duties were also a job component with 18 percentof their duty time spent performing such tasks. Di tinguishing tasks for thisjob type include many tasks pertaining to fabrication, especially fabrication ofceramic prostheses:

Perform ultrasonic cleaning procedures of contouredporcelain surfacesWax-up or carve patterns for fixed partial dentures

and crowns

Although specialized technical tasks comprised the majority of this job, theselaboratory specialists perform the largest number of tasks of any job group inthis cluster. The average number of tasks performed by group members was148.

1I. CROWN AND BRIDGE FABRICATION PERSONNNEL CLUSTER(GRP041, N=80). This cluster is composed of 3-, 5-, and 7-skill levelpersonnel (in a variety of settings) who fabricate crowns, inlays, fixedpartial dentures, and ceramic prostheses. Sixty percent of the cluster wereassigned to base dental laboratories; 34 percent worked in area dentallaboratories; and six percent were performing instructor duties at the Schoolof Health Care Sciences (SHCS) at Sheppard AFB, Texas. These instructorsgrouped with other laboratory personnel because of the training techniques inthe resident course. The course is demonstration rather than lectureoriented so the instructors performed the same basic tasks they would if theywere assigned to a base or area dental laboratory. Typical tasks performedby members of this cluster are displayed in Table 6. The jobs performed bythis cluster are smaller in scope than the previous strictly base dentallaboratory personnel cluster. The average number of tasks performed was60. Supervision was part of the duties of less than 30 percent of thecluster. Managerial and supervisory duties accounted for less than 10percent of job time.

Ila. Crown and Bridge Fabricators (GRP059 N=73). This jobtype represents-th e laboratory specialiss performing fabricationtasks in both base (66 percent) and area (34 percent) dental laboratories.They differed from the Fabrication and Repair job type of the previouscluster in that these job incumbents did few general laboratory tasks andspent the majority (70 percent) of their time fabricating crowns, inlays, fixedpartial dentures, and ceramic prostheses. The scope of this job was alsomore narrow than the base dental lab fabrication group with the averagefabricator performing 50 tasks. Specific tasks performed did not differwidely from the list presented in Table 6. This job type also mirrored themain cluster in that approximately 30 percent of the group were supervisorswith such duties accounting for eight percent of the job time.

lib. Instructors, School of Health Care Sciences (SHCS) (GRPII5,N=5. These personnel conduted- de-ntal l-oratory specialist residenttraining at Sheppard AFB, Texas. As a result of the demonstration ofnumerous laboratory procedures and techniques, these instructors performedmany of the tasks common to the cluster. Group members were, of course,distinctly different in that 25 percent of their job time specifically related totraining tasks. All members developed training aids and prepared lessonplans, as well as wrote, administered, and scored tests. Thirty-five percentof their job was composed of tasks related to fabrication of crowns, inlays,and fixed partial dentures--the course content these instructors taught.These 5- and 7-skill level personnel performed an average of 78 tasks.Three of the group members considered themselves supervisors of apprentice(3-skill level) laboratory specialists, and all members performed traineecounseling on training, as well as personal or military-related matters.

III. ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE FABRICATORS (GRP046, N=7). Thissmall independent job type was comprised of 3-, 5-, and 7-skill levelpersonnel who spent 78 percent of their time performing general laboratorytasks and fabricating and repairing orthodontic appliances. Because of therequirement to provide dental care in overseas locations, six group membersare assigned overseas. The remaining member is assigned to Wilford HallMedical Center, Lackland AFB, Texas, to support training of Air Forcedentists. Orthodontic appliance personnel averaged performing 37 tasks,among them fabrication and repair of acylic orthodontic appliances, shapingwire for orthodontic appliances, and performing orthodontic trim of diagnosticcasts. This group represents a small, highly specialized segment of thedental laboratory career ladder.

IV. DENTAL LABORATORY MANAGERS (GRP056, N=22). Thisindependent job type consists of individuals placed in positions ofresponsibility where they were removed from the requiremert to performtechnical tasks. Located at area dental laboratories and large baselaboratories, these job incumbents spent 90 percent of their time performingsupervisory and managerial duties. Only eight percent of their time wasspent fabricating or repairing dental prostheses. Seventy-seven percent ofthe group members hold a 7- or 9-skill level and 90 percent supervise otherdental laboratory personnel. Their duty titles ranged from Dental LaboratoryManager or Superintendent (46 percent) and Dental Laboratory DepartmentNCOIC (37 percent) to Dental Laboratory Supply Custodian (nine percent).This group performed an average of 78 tasks, mostly supervisory oradministrative in nature. Examples of such tasks included writing APRs,interpreting policies, directives, or procedures for subordinates, determiningscheduling and workload requirements, and counseling personnel on trainingprogress, as well as personal or military-related matters.

V. REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES (RPD) INSTRUCTORS (GRP051,N=13). Members of this independent job type spent the majority of their timeperforming technical tasks related to fabrication and repair of removablepartial dentures (37 percent) in support of training. Seven members of thejob group are resident course instructors at Sheppard AFB's School of HealthCare Sciences. Other members are area laboratory personnel involved in

Page 22: UNCLASSIFIED EEEili DENTAL LABORATORY CAREER LADDER ... · 1. Survey Coverage: Inventory booklets were completed by 498 job incuments holding DAFSC 982X0 (representing 72 percent

on-the-job training programs. The instructors grouped with field arealaboratory personnel due to the emphasis in training on demonstration oftechniques. Such an emphasis results in similar task responses. A selectivelist of RPD technical tasks performed appears in Table 7. Training tasksperformed which differentiated this group from other RPD personnel includedcounseling of personnel, administration and scoring of tests, and evaluation oftraining progress. The average number of tasks performed was 66 and 31percent of group members were supervisors.

VI. REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES (RPD) FABRICATORS (GRP039,N=19). These personnel were found only at area laboratories and wereresponsible for the fabrication of RPDs. They spent 92 percent of their timeperforming RPD fabrication and general laboratory tasks. They spent onlyone percent of their time performing those technical duties associated mostclosely with base dental laboratories, i.e., fabrication of crowns, inlays,fixed partial dentures, or fabrication and repair of complete dentures.Sixty-eight percent of this group were 3-skill level personnel and 75 percentwere in their first-enlistment. This job type represents one of the mostspecialized among the 982X0 personnel. RPD fabricators performed anaverage of only 12 inventory tasks. These include:

Finish and polish dental alloys for RPD9Check finished framework on duplicate master casts

Forty percent of their job time was spent performingmanagement and supervision tasks, while the remaining job time was spentfabricating RPDs. Despite the joining of supervisory tasks to performance ofRPD fabrication tasks, group members still performed few tasks, with theaverage being 28. Tasks performed by nine or more of the group includedchecking finished framework on duplicate master casts for accurate fit,finishing and polishing dental alloys for RPDs, soldering metal frameworks ofRPDs electrically, and supervising dental laboratory specialists.

VIII. CERAMIC PROSTHESES FABRICATORS (GRP128, N=7). Thisindependent job type reflected another highly specialized area laboratory jobwithin the 982X0 career ladder. Three-, 5-, and 7-skill level personnel arerepresented within the group. Fifty-seven percent are in their firstenlistment and the average number of tasks performed was 19. Eightypercent of this group's time was spent fabricating porcelain products. Anadditional eight percent was spent fabricating crowns, inlays, and fixedpartial dentures. Common tasks performed included applying and firing bodyor incisal porcelain, contouring fired porcelain, and staining porcelainrestorations.

Comparisons of Specialty Jobs

Clusters and independent job types identified are shown in Tables 8 and9, along with selected background information and job satisfaction data.

The two largest groups in the survey were the Base Dental LaboratoryPersonnel Cluster and the Crown and Bridge Fabrication Personnel Cluster.These 982X0 personnel groups were very similar in percent of first-enlistment(34-39 percent), grade, average months in career field, and average monthsof total active federal military service (TAFMS). The two clusters differed inboth number of tasks performed and size of group. The Base DentalLaboratory cluster accounted for 62 percent of the survey sample, andmembers averaged performing 100 tasks, by far the most diverse jobidentified. The Crown and Bridge Fabrication Cluster, comprised of SHCSinstructors and crown and bridge fabricators, accounted for 19 percent of thesurvey group, with members performing an average of 60 tasks.

The independent job types identified tended toward specialization andunique characteristics. The two most senior personnel groups were theDental Laboratory Managers and the RPD Section NCOICs. Several specializedjobs performed by few 982X0 personnel were identified: OrthodonticAppliance Fabricators, performing an average of 37 tasks; Ceramic ProsthesesPersonnel, performing an average of 19 tasks; and RPD Fabricators,performing an average of 12 tasks. All of these groups contained smallnumbers of first-enlistment personnel.

Job satisfaction among 982X0 personnel was very good (Table 9). Thevast majority of members found their jobs interesting, as well as making gooduse of training and talent. Three groups were less satisfied: RPDInstructors, RPD Fabricators, and Orthodontic Appliance Fabricators. Allthree groups reported consistently lower feelings of accomplishment on the jobthan other job groups identified. Additionally, RPD Fabricators believedtheir job did not adequately use their talents or training. This group alsoreported the lowest reenlistment intention of any job group (see Table 9).Feelings of job dissatisfaction may relate to the highly specialized nature andnarrow scope of the job. Group members spent each duty day performing anaverage of 12 tasks. Repetition and resulting boredom or frustration couldbe a problem among these technicians.

Career ladder jobs were compared for difficulty using the Job DifficultyIndex (JDI) described in the TASK FACTOR ADMINISTRATION portion of thisreport. The JDI is based on the number of tasks performed and the relative

difficulty of these tasks. The index ranges from 1.0 for very simple jobs to25.0 for the most demanding jobs. This index provides an overview of jobswithin a career ladder and pinpoints those jobs of increasing responsibilityand broader scope.

Table 8 displays the JDI values for the jobs performed by 982X0personnel. The most difficult jobs are Dental Laboratory Managers, followedby the Base Dental Laboratory personnel and Crown and Bridge Fabricationpersonnel clusters. Jobs with the lowest JDI were those extremely narrow inscope--RPD Fabricators and Ceramic Prostheses personnel. Note that RPDFabricators, the job with the lowest JDI value, was also the 982X0 job withthe lowest job satisfaction of all job groups.

As discussed earlier, analysis of the 982X0 career ladder structurerevealed base dental laboratory personnel performed a broad range of tasksand made up approximately 64 percent of career ladder personnel. Arealaboratory personnel performed small, specialized jobs composed of a narrowrange of tasks. Base and area laboratory personnel grouped together in somefabrication tasks (crowns and bridges) and at senior supervisory levels but,generally, base and area laboratory airmen performed different jobs. Thenature of these differences was apparent when job descriptions for 3- and5-skill level airmen at area and base dental laboratories were compared (seeAppendix B for complete job descriptions).

The 237 3- and 5-skill level personnel who indicated they worked in abase dental laboratory, were primarily concerned with general laboratorytasks and fabrication of crowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures. Themajority of these airmen (79 percent) grouped with the Base DentalLaboratory Personnel Cluster with most appearing in the Laboratory Workergroup. Fifty-nine percent of the Fabrication and Repair Personnel job typewere also base dental laboratory 3- and 5-skill level personnel. Smallnumbers of base dental laboratory personnel were performing the independentjob type of Orthodontic Appliance Fabricators. Each 3- and 5-skill level baselaboratory airman performed an average of 96 tasks. Table 10 presents asample list of common tasks performed by 98230/50 personnel assigned to abase dental laboratory.

The jobs performed by the 3- and 5-skill level area laboratory dentallaboratory specialist were quite different. These 133 airmen were primarilyinvolved in the fabrication and repair of removable partial dentures (RPDs)and performance of general laboratory tasks. Five-skill level area laboratorypersonnel were also somewhat more involved in supervision than their basedental laboratory peers (see Table 11). The majority of area laboratorypersonnel grouped either with the Crown and Bridge Fabrication PersonnelCluster (32 percent), specifically in the Crown and Bridge Fabricator group,or in the RPD Fabricator and Ceramic Prostheses Fabricator independent jobtypes (25 percent). Overall, area laboratory jobs for 3- and 5-skill levelairmen were more specialized and narrower in scope than base dentallaboratory 3- and 5-skill level jobs. Correspondingly, area laboratorypersonnel performed an average of 27 tasks compared to 96 tasks for basedental laboratory 3- and 5-skill level airmen. Table 12 provides arepresentative list of common tasks performed by 30 percent or more of 3-and 5-skill level area laboratory personnel.

In summary, jobs performed by area laboratory personnel were narrower,more specialized jobs relating to fabrication of RPDs, ceramic prostheses, andorthodontic appliances. Base dental laboratory personnel did little or none ofthis work. They had diverse jobs involving performance of more generallaboratory tasks and fabrication of crowns, inlays, and fixed partialdentures.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS

An analysis of DAFSC groups, in conjunction with the analysis of thecareer ladder structure, is an important part of each occupational analysis.The DAFSC analysis identifies differences in task performance at various skilllevels. This information is also used to evaluate how well career ladderdocuments, such as AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions and the SpecialtyTraining Standard (STS), reflect what career ladder personnel are actuallydoing in the field.

DAFSC 98230/50: These 392 personnel were primarily involved in performanceof geniieralaboratory tasks and fabrication of crowns, inlays, and fixedpartial dentures. Thirty-eight percent of their duty time was occupied withgeneral laboratory tasks such as work with diagnostic and master casts,repair of broken or fractured dental appliances, and miscellaneoushousekeeping activities. Eighteen percent of their job time was spentfabricating crowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures. The duty occupyingthe third most time was fabrication and repair of removable partial dentures(16 percent). Three- and 5-skill level personnel formed the overwhelmingmajority of all job groups discussed in the CAREER LADDER STRUCTUREsection except for the most senior job group of Dental Laboratory Managers.They represented over 85 percent of Orthodonic Appliance Fabricators,Ceramic Prostheses Fabricators, and Removable Partial Dentures (RPD)Sectior NCOICs. Three- and 5-skill level airmen also comprised over 75percent of the Base Dental Laboratory Personnel and Crown and BridgeFabrication Personnel clusters as well as Removable Partial Dentures (RPD)Fabricators. Three- and five-skill level personnel are obviously welldispersed throughout the career ladder's technical jobs. Table 13 displaystasks commonly performed by airmen at these skill levels.

DAFSC 98270: As career ladder personnel progressed from the 3- and 5-skilleveTs to-the 7-skill level, the jobs they performed took on additional super-visory emphasis. The job differences noted between base dental labs andarea labs continued. Ninety-five 7-skill level personnel made up the totalgroup: 69 were assigned to base labs and were performing an average of 109tasks; 17 were assigned to area labs performing an average of 29 tasks; andthe remaining seven were involved in resident training.

These more experienced personnel grouped within the Base DentalLaboratory NCOIC and Removable Partial Dentures Section NCOIC groups, butwere also found in several of the fabrication groups and area lab independentjob types where they performed more technical, highly skilled tasks. Thosemembers assigned to base dental laboratories continued to spend most of theirtime performing general laboratory tasks (30 percent) or fabricating crowns,inlays, and fixed partial dentures (20 percent). Seven-skill level personnelassigned to area laboratories spent their time fabricating removable partialdentures and ceramic prostheses (27 percent) and supervising and evaluatingwork performed (31 percent). Table 14 presents a general overview of workperformed at this level of the 982X0 career ladder.

AFSC 98290/00: The nine members at this skill level are clearly the managersin this career ladder, spending 83 percent of their time performingsupervisory and managerial tasks. They grouped with the Dental LaboratoryManager and Base Dental Laboratory NCOIC groups. Table 15 lists thosetasks performed by 85 percent or more of this group. Although most of theirtime was spent supervising and managing, group members must beexperienced in the technical tasks associated with the career ladder. Themost common technical tasks they performed were of high difficulty, involvingthe fabrication of crowns, inlays, fixed partial dentures, and porcelainproducts.

Job progression within the 982XO career ladder followed normal patterns.Lowr skill levels performed tasks predominantly technical in nature.Technical tasks differed substantially depending upon whether personnel wereassigned to a base or area dental laboratory. As skill level increased,additional emphasis on supervision and management responsibilities werenoted.

ANALYSIS OF EXPERIENCE GROUPS (TAFMS)

Utilization patterns for survey respondents in different Total ActiveFederal Military Service (TAFMS) groups were examined to determine if therewere differences in tasks performed. The 982X0 members surveyed fit theusual pattern seen in most career ladders. As time in service increased,there was a corresponding increase in performance of duties involvingsupervisory, managerial, and training tasks (see Table 16). As time spenton these tasks increased, time spent performing technical tasks declined.Through the fourth enlistment, technical tasks remained the focus of dentallaboratory specialist jobs. Following a transition during the fifth enlistment,the sixth enlistment found supervisory and managerial functions accountingfor the majority of the respondent's time.

First-Enlistment Personnel

Figure 2 shows the distribution of first-enlistment personnel across thejob groups discussed in the CAREER LADDER STRUCTURE portion of thisreport. First-enlistment personnel (1-48 months) spent the major portion oftheir job time performing the technical tasks associated with either base orarea dental laboratory, depending on their initial assignment. Personnelassigned to a base dental laboratory spent over 50 percent of their timeperforming general laboratory tasks and 17 percent of their time fabricatingand repairing crowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures (see Table 16). Ifthe first-enlistment airman was assigned to one of the six regional arealaboratories, the focus of work was quite different. Forty percent of the jobtime was devoted to fabrication and repair of removable partial dentures, withanother 23 percent of the job time spent in the performance of generallaboratory tasks (see Table 16). Note that the relative time spent performingtechnical tasks was closely aligned only in the fabrication of crowns, inlays,and fixed partial dentures. Otherwise, as discussed in the CAREER LADDERSTRUCTURE section of this report, base and area laboratory personnelperformed substantially different technical tasks. Table 17 presents thosetasks performed by most first-enlistment personnel assigned to baselaboratories. Table 18 displays tasks performed by most first-enlistmentpersonnel at area laboratories.

ANALYSIS OF JOB SATISFACTION

Table 19 presents data reflecting the job interest, perceived utilizationof talents and training, and reenlistment Intentions of selected TAFMSgroups. No comparative job satisfaction data was available because no medicalor dental career ladder was surveyed in 1981,

AFSC 982X0 career ladder personnel reported high levels of jobsatisfaction. Both first-enlistment and career personnel (97+ months TAFMS)approached 90 percent favorable response, with the second enlistmentdropping only to 85 percent favorable response. Perceived utilization oftalents and training was uniformly high across TAFMS groups. As experienceincreased, somewhat higher percentage trends were noted. For example, 88percent of first-enlistment personnel believed their training was well utilized,while 94 percent among career personnel believed their training was wellutilized.

COMPARISON OF SURVEY DATA TO AFR 39-1SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS

To verify the accuracy and completeness of the 982X0 specialtydescriptions, the survey data were compared to the January 1982 AFR 39-1Specialty Descriptions. The descriptions are complete, well supported bysurvey data, and accaratiy portray the duties and responsibilities of dentallaboratory person,-.i, ;I.c 'uties or responsibtiities were omitted nor were anytrends noted during analysis of the career ladder structure which wouldrequire changes in the specialty descriptions at this time.

MAJOR COMMAND ANALYSIS

TasKs and CWiaUs ior personnel within the 982X0 career ladder werebasically uniform across ,,,.ig major cc:irncis. Minor deviations existedwhere area labora .ories were iocated. but this was more a function of baseassignment of area iaboratories than differences in major command utilizationpatterns.

ANALYSIS OF CONUS/OVERSEAS DIFFERENCES

A comparison of tasks performed by 5-skill level personnel assignedwithin the CONUS and those assigned overseas was made for this careerladder. Only minor differenr~ces were noted.

Table 20 lists the p 'cent time spent on each job inventory duty for theCONUS and overses gro,, CONUS personnel spent somewhat more time onthe fabrication an-". apai, removable partial dentures (RPD) while overseas98250 personnel s. sc :at more time on the fabrication and repair oforthodontic appliar,..: s as as crowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures.Such increases in 'lime . ,t by overseas personnel is probably due tooverseas dental lai:irator. having responsibility for supporting dependentdental care.

Except for these mino': differences, 98250 personnel are basically utilizedin a similar manner throl,,. out the Air Force. The overseas group were amore senior group avera9-':' R1 months time in the career field and 87 monthsTAFMS, while the WJNUf, -. ap averaged 56 months in the career field and70 months TAFMS.

SPECIAL ISSUES

During the survey process, information was gathered to address severalitems of concern to career ladder training managers. These items concernedsupplemental training and instructor duty, special experience identifiers(SEls), and laboratory experience and preference among 982X0 personnel. Asummary of data regarding these special interest areas follows.

Inventory respondents were asked what SEIs they currently held andwhat SEIs they qualified for but had not yet received. Table 21 presents theconsolidated responses by skill level. SEIs are a recent addition to thecareer ladder. Each requires a minimum of 48 months experience as a 982X0to include 24 continuous months of work experience at either a base or areadental laboratory depending on the SEI. Few 982X0 personnel report holdingSEIs though many qualify for them. More 7-skill level personnel hold SEIs(44 percent) than any other skill group while less than a fourth of 3-, 5-, or9-skill level personnel have an SEI. Table 22 shows SEIs awarded across thefunctional job groups described in the CAREER LADDER STRUCTURE sectionof this report. Once again, few group members presently have any SEI.

Field personnel were asked to provide information on which type ofdental laboratory they are assigned to, which type of laboratory they had themost work experience in, and which type of dental laboratory they preferredas a work environment. Table 23 displays their responses. The majority of982X0 personnel were assigned to base dental laboratories. Only at the 9-and CEM skill level did the majority of personnel serve in area laboratories,where they were Dental Laboratory Managers or Superintendents. Inaddition, most dental laboratory technicians gained the bulk of theirexperience in base dental laboratories. Only 28 percent of 3-, 5-, and 7-skilllevel personnel had gained most of their laboratory experience in arealaboratories. When asked which laboratory assignment was preferred, the basedental laboratory was chosen as moderately preferred at the 3- and 5-skilllevel (61 percent), and highly preferred at the 7-skill level (74 percent). Atthe senior 9-skill and CEM levels, an area laboratory was the preferredassignment (67 percent).

Career ladder personnel expressed strong interest in supplementaltraining, and only modest interest in instructor duty (see Table 24). Overthree-fourths of respondents at all skill levels indicated interest in trainingcourses covering orthodontics, and special prostheses. Instructor duty wasof interest to fewer members; however, 29 percent of 3- and 5-skill levelpersonnel and 33 percent of 7-skill level personnel would considervolunteering for such duty.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data are a source of information which can assisttraining managers in the development of training programs relevant to theneeds of personnel working in their first-assignment within a career ladder.Factors which can be used to evaluate training are the percent of first-job(1-24 months TAFMS) or first-enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS) membersperforming tasks, along with training emphasis and task difficulty ratings (asdiscussed in the TASK FACTOR ADMINISTRATION section). T.ese factorswere used to examine the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and the Plan ofInstruction (POI) for course 3ABR98230. Training personnel from the Schoolof Health Care Sciences, Sheppard AFB TX, matched inventory tasks toappropriate sections of the POI and STS. It was this matching upon whichcomparisons are based. A complete computer listing displaying the percentmembers performing, training emphasis ratings, and task difficulty ratings foreach task statement, along with POI and STS matchings, was forwarded to theschool for their use in any further detailed review of training documents.

Because a comparison of jobs performed by area versus base dentallaboratory personnel was of primary concern in this survey, training data wasexamined separately for both types of dental laboratory airmen. Due to thehighly specialized and narrow scope of area laboratory jobs, the surveyinventory revealed few tasks performed by 30 percent or more of arealaboratory personnel (reference Table 8 in ANALYSIS OF EXPERIENCEGROUPS (TAFMS) Section). Also, all tasks performed by 30 percent or moreof area laboratory personnel are already part of STS and POI trainingrequirements. Therefore, the data presented in this section will summarizetotal 982X0 personnel responses. A computer listing providing a detailedpresentation of area versus base dental laboratory personnel task performancematched to both the STS and POI has been provided to training managers.

Training Emphasis (Tasks)

Table 25 lists the 25 tasks which raters believed required the mosttraining emphasis for first-enlistment personnel in this career ladder. All ofthese tasks are performed by at least 30 percent of first-enlistmentpersonnel; 13 of the tasks were performed by over 50 percent of this group.The majority of the tasks fell within the general laboratory duty category,with the remainder dealing with work on complete dentures, and fabrication ofcrowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures. Five of the tasks were also ratedas very difficult in comparison to other dental laboratory tasks. Presentresident training for entry-level personnel includes instruction on all of thesetasks ranked high in need of training emphasis for first-enlistment personnel.

Specialty Training Standard (STS)

A review of STS 982X0, dated November 1979, compared STS sections tosurvey data. Paragraphs containing general information or subject matterproficiency requirements were not evaluated. The STS provides thoroughcoverage of jobs performed by field personnel. Precisely because of thisthoroughness, several highly specialized areas within the dental laboratory

45

Page 52: UNCLASSIFIED EEEili DENTAL LABORATORY CAREER LADDER ... · 1. Survey Coverage: Inventory booklets were completed by 498 job incuments holding DAFSC 982X0 (representing 72 percent

specialist career ladder were performed by few first-enlistment or 5-skill levelgroups. These areas were fabrication and repair of RPDs, ceramicprostheses, and orthdodontic appliances (see Table 26). These dutiesrepresent small slices of the overall work of 982X0 personnel and are mostoften performed by senior 5-skill and 7-skill level technicians. Even at theskill levels where these duties are predominant, the percentage of careerladder personnel performing them remains small. Career field managersshould review these areas of the STS to reaffirm the appropriateness of codelevels assigned for 5-skill level career ladder personnel. Training personnelmay desire to review these STS paragraphs to consider the amount and depthof training appropriate for first-enlistment personnel.

Some technical tasks performed by 982X0 personnel were not referencedto the current STS (Table 27). These tasks should be reviewed bysubject-matter and training specialists to determine if they should be includedduring the next STS revision.

Plan Of Instruction (POI)

Based on previously mentioned assistance from technical school subject-matter specialists in matching inventory tasks to the 3ABR98230 POI, datedOctober 1981, a computer product was generated displaying the results of thematching process. Information furnished includes training emphasis (TE) andtask difficulty (TD) ratings, as well as percent members performing data forfirst-job (1-24 months TAFMS) and first-enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS)personnel.

Table 28 provides a view of POI-matched inventory tasks which wereperformed by less than 30 percent of first-enlistment personnel. Somegeneral laboratory tasks involving master casts, heat cure methods, and useof acrylic resin veneer were included among these tasks; but, the majority oftasks fell within the range of the narrow highly specialized jobs of fabricationand repair of RPDs, ceramic protheses, orthodontic appliances, as well ascrowns, inlays, and fixed partial dentures. As discussed in both theCAREER LADDER STRUCTURE and ANALYSIS OF EXPERIENCE GROUPS(TAFMS) portions of this report, small percentages of 982X0 personnelperform these duties within the career ladder at all skill levels. Tasks withinthe Administrative and Supply duty area included six which received very lowtraining emphasis ratings, below average task difficulty ratings and wereperformed by less than 10 percent of first-enlistment personnel. Trainingmanagers should review POI blocks and matched tasks appearing in Table 28to assess the appropriateness of formal resident instruction for allfirst-enlistment personnel in these specialized areas.

COMPARISON OF CURRENT SURVEY TO PREVIOUS SURVEY

Results of this survey were compared to those of Occupational SurveyReport AFPT 90-982-330, Dental Laboratory career ladder, dated June 1978.Sample sizes were similar, with 532 respondents comprising the previoussurvey group and 498 respondents in the current sample.

job groups identified were basically the same. There were, howevertwo minor variations. The previous survey identified one group of RPDFabricators; this survey identified two groups; one RPD Fabricator group,and a more senior group of RPD personnel who had supervisoryresponsibilities, RPD Section NCOICs. The other minor variation from theprevious survey was among instructors. In 1978, School of Health CareSciences (SHCS) instructors grouped together as a component of the largecluster of base dental laboratory personnel. The 1981 data found SHCSinstructcrs grouping in two subsets based on technical tasks taught: onegroup of instructors grouped with base dental laboratory personnel and theremaining SHCS instructors who taught RPD tasks grouped as an independ, Mjob type among other RPD personnel.

The 1981 survey was unique from the 1978 survey because eachrespondent provided information on laboratory assignment and preference.This information allowed a clearer comparison of jobs at base and aredlaboratories. Survey data indicated area laboratory jobs were highlyspecialized and narrow in scope of technical tasks performed. Base dentallaboratory jobs made up two-thirds of career ladder jobs and were morediverse, with incumbents performing a larger number of tasks.

Both surveys revealed job interest and perceived utilization of talentsand training of survey respondents to be quite high. Other backgrounddata, such as average paygrade, DAFSC, TAFMS, and time in career field,were similar between surveys.

Overall, the 982X0 career ladder has remained relatively unchanged i.terms of career ladder structure and personnel makeup. There is noevidence in the 1981 data to suggest that this career ladder is undergoingany major changes or shifts in emphasis.

IMPLICATIONS

The primary purpose of this survey was to determine whether jobdifferences between 982X0 personnel assigned to base dental laboratories andthose assigned to area laboratories were sufficibntly large to justifychannelized technical training. Analysis of the career ladder structurerevealed base dental laboratory personnel performed a broad range of tasksand made up approximately 65 percent of career ladder personnel. Sixty-fourpercent of first-enlistment personnel were assigned to a base dentallaboratory for their first job. Area laboratory personnel performed morespecialized jobs composed of a narrow range of tasks. Thirty-seven percentof first-enlistment personnel were working in an area laboratory. Base andarea laboratory personnel grouped together in some fabrication tasks (crownsand bridges) and at senior supervisory levels but, generally, base and arealaboratory airmen performed different jobs. Channelized training could beuseful if personnel projected for initial assignment to an area dentallaboratory could be identified early. Survey data, however, did reveal thatthe majority of career field personnel spent their first-enlistment in a basedental laboratory.

A review of supporting STS and POI documents underscored thespecialized career ladder Jobs performed by few first-enlistment and 5-skilllevel groups. Career field managers should review these STS and POI areasto reaffirm the appropriateness of code levels for 5-skill level personnel.Training personnel may desire to review these areas to consider the amountand depth of training appropriate for first-enlistment personnel. The presentSTS and POI supports first-enlistment training requirements for both areaand base dental laboratory personnel.
