ResearchPublished 2000

This study applies a theoretical model of volitional behavior — called the theory of planned behavior (TPB) — to bureaucratic behavior in the Army. Based on information developed through expert interviews, a survey of Army personnel, and the application of the TPB model, it presents a series of comprehensive recommendations on how to improve current implementation efforts.
