Competency Of The Reserve Technical Officers Based On Commissioned Training Background And Its Influencing Factors

It is quite common to rely on national education to train military cadre particularlly professional and technical officers. Under the new circumstance that high-tech war will dominate wars in the future with the rapid development of science and technology, new military professionals who have received high education in universities have become important sources of our army's cadre. But in recent years, through the investigation of such officers assigned to troops after their graduation, some of them fail to adapt to the military environment or be qualified for their work in a short time due to the gap between their training in school and the actual requirement of their future military positions. Meanwhile, after the ten years of relying on training work, there is still no scientific evaluation system in our country to assess the quality or competence of our reserve officers. Furthermore, there is no in-depth systematical research on factors during school training that may affect performance and development of competent ability of reserve officers. Such situation requires researchers launch innovative researches in the field of development and management of military personnel to provide theoretical foundation and operational guidance on relying on training work, thus removing the limitation of the efficiency of relying on training Work.Referring to competency a large number of studies suggest that, within the organization, competency as an individual potential characteristic, can prompt more deep-seated that individual behavior motivation attribution, would help predict the performance of the organization, and competency development will also promote the development of personal performance across the organization, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the organization. These studies provide a fresh perspective and an more effective tool in practice of human resources management for the enterprise, namely, the quality characteristic analysis methods via the comprehensive evaluation from the explicit to implicit features of its personnel.Regarding competency of reserve officers as its kernel theme, this research used grounded theory and questionnaire investigation, focusing on the professional technology officers in army and reserve officers in school and just graduated to army professional technology post.This research not only analyzes the dimension of competency of technology officers and reserve officers, factors that affect competency of reserve officers, and relationship between competency and personal performance, but also to probe into factors including identity, political education, and military training, and the mechanism that features including group atmosphere, Management Relationship, and soldiers social status perception affect the reserve officers competency and performance. The main content of the study are:1. Construction of the competency model of technical officers. This competency model will be established through theoretical research into related documentations and interviews. A survey based on the description of behavious, "Questionnaire of Competency of Technical Officers" was written. This questionnaire was then checked and modified with practical research methods to insure its reliability and validity. Eventually, a questionnaire matching the competency of technical officers in our army was figured out.2. The competency level measurement of reserve officers. Due to the reserve officers who are the research objects, are bound to be army professional technology officers, technology officers'competency measurement questionnaire can be also applied for reserve officers. After checking the reliability and validity, this research take measurements on reserve officers competency level, and then analyze the competencydifference between reserve officers graduates and active technology officers, and reserve officers graduates and reserve officers'freshmen. Whether the competency level differences exist in different demographic characteristics, different management models, and different students are also involved in it.3. Study on influence factors of reserve officers'competency. Taking political education, military training, and identity especially for Reserve officers during college time as influence factor of reserve officers competency, this research made research hypothesis, test theory by regression analysis and path analysis, and took in-depth analysis on relationships between the that three factors and competency as well as its dimensions.4. Path analysis of competency on personal performance. On the basis of the reliability and validity test of personal performance scale and three regulation factors scale, this research explored different prediction effects that the competency presents for the different dimensions of performance, as well as regulation effect that group atmosphere, Management Relationship and soldiers social status identity perform on reserve officers competency and of personal performance.Through the discussion above we come to the following conclusions:1. Technical officers'competence is a multidimensional hierarchical structure model Reserve officer's competence model is a multidimensional hierarchy model which is consistent with that of technical officers. The competence model of graduates to be professional and technical officers in the army is of no difference with those in service. Reserve officers in the fresh year are less competent than the graduates.2. When it comes to professional skills, the impact of political education, identity and military training on reserve officers reduces accordingly. However when it comes to professional quality, the impact of political education, military training and identity on reserve officers reduces accordingly. Considering personal qualities, the impact of identity, military training and political education on reserve officers reduces accordingly. Among these three factors, the effect of political education is more significant than the other two.3. According to the relationship between the dimensions of reserve officers' competence and personal performance, professional skill is a good predictor of whether one is adaptive to a certain position. Besides, professional quality can be used to pre estimate one's dedication to work. But it is not decisive at all in adaptive performance. Personal quality is an excellent predictor of all the four dimensions of performance, and its effect on each decreases in the order of adaptive performance, task performance, dedication spirits and interpersonal promotion.4. Group atmosphere in the relationship between the reserve officers competence and individual performance, competence and task performance, professional skills and personal performance, professionalism and personal performance, personal qualities and individual performance plays a positive regulation. Management Relationship in the relationship between the reserve officers competence and individual performance, competence and task performance, competence and interpersonal promotion, competence and adaptive performance, professional skills and personal performance, professionalism and personal performance, personal qualities and individual performance plays a positive regulatory role. Perception of social status of soldiers in the relationships between the reserve officers competence and individual performance, competence and task performance, competence and job dedication, professional skills and personal performance, professionalism and personal performance, personal qualities and personal play a positive performance regulation. Finally, each of the dimensions of competence and individual performance and the correlation between sub-dimensions at different levels are subject to differential effects on the group atmosphere, Management Relationship and perceived social status of soldiers of the three adjustment variables, regulation by the three variables contributed to the positive impact of competence development, help to improve the reserve officer's individual performance, and low levels of competence in promoting the role of small, and thus the improvement of individual performance is also low.The main innovation of this article is:1. Constructing a professional technical officers'competence model that conforms to our current state. A competence model of our professional technical officers was constructed through this study, and modified via empirical research, thus verified on application of the model among the reserve officers. It also made up for the lack of military personnel in the field of theory and research on the construction of competence model of technical officers.2. Discovering and verifiying the factors that affect military reserve personnel competence. This research while obtaining competence structure, conducted a study on factors affecting the competence, to reflect the theoretical innovation of the study on the competence structure.3. Discovering and verifying the regulation variables and its effect on military reserve personnel competence. Empirical studies were performed on the relationship between competence and performance. Different from previous studies, those not only examined empirically the relationship between competence and performance, but also discussed the factors affecting the relationship between the two.The conclusion from this research has important theoretical significance for future studies on the competencies of military personnel and also their influence factors. At the same time, it provides theoretical guidelines for the assessment, selection, training and assignment of military personnel, as well as education and managment of reserve technical officers.
