Personnel and Staff Development Planning for the Human Services. Volume 1. Final Report of the Florida Board of Regents, Office of Career Planning and Curriculum Development for the Human Services.

The Office of Career Planning and Curriculum Development for the Human Services was established in September 1972 to study the problems associated with manpower utilization and the lack of career mobility within the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS). Objectives of the study were: (1) to identify the contributing factors and supplementary problems associated with these areas; and with (2) recruitment; (3) screening; (4) job preparation and training; (5) deployment; and (6) performance evaluation. Approaches were: (1) measurement of work behavior using a variation of the work diary and time log methods of work measurements; and (2) a structured questionnaire that functioned as the basic vehicle for identifying biographical characteristics of the worker and some basic environment information. The results of this job analysis are an empirical data base in the form of a Manpower Management Information System and Human Service Task Bank. (Author/KE)
