| Summary: | Purpose – The purpose of this research is to assess the current level of systems literacy of air force logisticians in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach – This research undertook an assessment of the knowledge of air force logistics officers on systems thinking with the aid of a qualitative questionnaire. The questionnaire featured questions on the level of literacy and application of systems thinking by air force logisticians in Nigeria. Findings – The research finds that the majority of the air force logistics officers have very low levels of knowledge and training in systems thinking. Originality/value – The research is a unique effort to ascertain the level of systems thinking literacy and training in air force logistics in Nigeria. The study presents a baseline and justification for intervention through an improvement of the logistics curricula used in air force training institutions in Nigeria. |
