The Form of Competency Model of Pilots by Job Analysis

To learn the construction and indicators of competency model of military pilots by job analysis, seventy four military pilots were selected. The questionnaire was a revised version of O*NET job analysis questionnaire for commercial pilots. Participates were asked to rate the importance of the competencies. Twenty eight competencies were included in the competency model, the average rating of included competencies was 0.76, which was significant higher than the average rating of competencies not included in the model (t = 19.02, P < 0.01). The included competencies were divided into four first level factors according to KSAOs theory, which were knowledge, ability, skill and other characteristics. Factor analysis was used to explore second level factor, only the other characteristics could be divide into motivation and personality. According to finding in the current study, the other characteristics such as motivation and personality were an important part of the model. This founding indicates that the development of correlated measuring tools and training methods are needed, which could be used in psychological selection and mental training of the military pilots.
