NASA hired Behavioral Science Technology Inc. of Ojai, Calif., to develop and administer a plan for changing NASA's culture.

Ve have vays of changing your behavior:

I've known a lot of people who've risked careers (and lost) in order to stand up for important principles. I have no sympathy for people who hold back in matters of life and death because their new home or their health insurance might be at risk. I don't consider the Albert Speers of the world to be heroes.

The company conducted a survey at all NASA locations, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Only NASA employees, not contract workers, took part. The two lowest-scoring categories were "Perceived Organizational Support" and "Upward Communication." On more than one occasion, workers hung back at the end of a group interview session and only then expressed their views, privately, about communication barriers, BST said.

This would be hysterically funny if it didn't involve life-and-death occupations. Here's a tip: if your organization identifies "Upward communication" and "perceieved org support" as areas that need improvement, public surveys will probably not point you in the right direction.

They probably need to put in some sort of employee hotline, administered by a third party, which can be called to report certain issues.

If you have to read past this point, you've missed it. NASA management hired someone else to do their job. Because if it fails, they just fire the contractor who gets paid either way.

It's a difficult task. But,management in aerospace stinks.
