This book was released on 1988 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was designed to improve the understanding and modeling of the decisions, made each year by thousands of first-term soldiers, to reenlist in the Army or to leave for civilian jobs and school. A model of the reenlistment decision formulated from a decision-analytic perspective was developed, based on an extensive review of the literature in the areas of military personnel, job satisfaction and job change, and decision theory, as well as from focus groups conducted with first-term soldiers at Fort Benning, Georgia. A multicomponent decision-modeling approach incorporating attitudinal, normative, and affective predictors of reenlistment intent was then developed, along with a set of instruments to capture data on these components. Consistent with previous findings for an enlistment task, the analysis of the pilot test data indicated that the three components predicted reenlistment intent in the following rank order: affect, attitudinal, and normative. The results also suggest that the Army has available tools for influencing these reenlistment decisions that are much more varied than the limited set of mainly economic factors that are now predominant in these programs. Specifically, the affective component dominated the economic variables in predicting reenlistment intent for this limited sample of soldiers, and may be an important reenlistment program and policy lever in the future. Keywords: Military personnel, Retention.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army must ensure that retention efforts result in the reenlistment of enough qualified enlisted personnel to maintain force readiness. The purpose of this research was to identify factors that influence soldiers' reenlistment intentions and decisions. A comprehensive model of career decision making was developed and tested using path analysis. The findings indicate that the major determinant of reenlistment intent is organizational commitment, which in turn is influenced by tenure, satisfaction, and perceptions of unattainable needs and aspirations, civilian alternatives, MOS, and demographic and organizational variables on reenlistment intent. Discussion addresses the relevance of the findings to retention policy and career counseling in the Army. Keywords: Job satisfaction, Enlisted personnel, Occupational stress, Work adjustment theory, Multivariate analysis, Path analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the reenlistment intentions of enlisted personnel in their second term of military service. Data were taken from the 1979 Department of Defense [Survey of Personnel Entering Military Service]. About 2,500 enlistees (from all services) met the working definition of having less than one year remaining in their second term, having served six to ten years, and having achieved a pay grade of E3 through E7. A statistical analysis (logistic regression model) was tailored to each service; it related the survey respondent's reenlistment intentions to four types of factors: compensation, promotion, location, and job satisfaction. Compensation and promotion emerged as the key factors, the others assuming varying degrees of importance in different services. As a reenlistment incentive, however, guaranteed location of choice emerged as potentially important, along with bonuses, shorter reenlistment periods, and increased probability of promotion.

Data were taken from the DoD Survey of Enlisted Personnel, completed in mid-1979.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Uses data on 4,000 first-term Army, Navy, and Air Force enlisted personnel to construct a model of reenlistment based on survey measures of the value of regular military compensation (RMC), bonuses, in-kind and in-cash allowances, and negative aspects of the service environment. Concludes that reenlistment rates would rise significantly if RMC were increased, but that changes in the other factors would have negligible effect. Reenlistment rates were higher among personnel who received higher bonus payments, among females and nonwhites, and among those who received the dependent quarters allowance in kind instead of in cash. Rates were lower among those who underestimated the value of their compensation, who had completed high school education or more, whose test scores indicated high mental ability, and who served in the Air Force. Although rises in RMC are effective, the authors concluded that shifting to all-cash compensation would entail dislocations that could outweigh the beneficial effects on reenlistment."--Rand abstracts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to determine how time affects the factors that influence the retention decision of Navy enlisted members. The empirical analysis utilizes two different samples, the first composed of enlisted members and the second of members and their spouses. What differentiates this study from other retention studies is the stratification of the samples before conducting the analysis. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the change in the probability of reenlistment and the significance of identified variables. Results show that member's intentions are a good predictor of reenlistment behavior, and that the impact of each factor affecting the reenlistment decision changes, depending on the member's gender, time to EAOS and enlistment term. Spouse and family factors were also found to affect the member's reenlistment decision. This information assists in developing an understanding of the factors that are important to service members, which should facilitate policies to increase retention of Navy enlisted members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification and retention of potential high quality career enlisted men has been a matter of concern within all three Armed Services. In response to the Army, the NEW CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES Task undertook a three-year longitudinal research study to predict from characteristics of enlisted men, as measured at entry into the Army, reenlistment decision at the end of the first Regular Army term. The validation of a number of personal inventory measures developed to predict reenlistment action at the end of the first term of service is described in the Research Note. Responses to 631 questions in an attitude and background inventory administered to about 6000 Enlistees at entry into service, in the spring of 1958, were analyzed in relation to reenlistment action at the termination of three years' service. A general scale (23 items) developed on basis of results in a sample of 2600 first-term enlistees in a variety of MOS, yielded a coefficient of .29 in cross-validation. Construct scales reflecting different aspects of career motivation and scales empirically derived against a criterion of expressed career intentions were factor analyzed. Four interpretable factors were delineated: I-positive attitudes toward the service; II-high abilities on the Army Classification Battery, favorable background, good personality adjustment; III-mechanical ability and interest; IV-emphasis on career incentive and individual job goals. Factors I and IV were moderately related to reenlistment. A followup study is underway on the effects of service-connected factors on career motivation and changes in reenlistment intention.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates military affiliation intentions of first-term enlisted servicemen in all four branches of service who have less than a year remaining on their initial enlistment contract. The investigation is accomplished in two sequences: 1. The study of servicemen most likely to reenlist, and of those most likely to separate; and 2)Of those servicemen who are classified as not likely to reenlist, the likelihood of their joining the reserves. These two decisions are analyzed using demographic, tenure, cognitive/affective, economic, and employment alternative variables as explanatory factors. The analysis is completed by using a probit non-linear estimation technique which calculates the likelihood of a serviceman choosing to continue, or discontinue, military service given his set of specific characteristics. The results, indicate potential policy variables that may be targeted by manpower policy planners to increase the likelihood of continued military affiliation either by reenlistment or reserve force participation.

Download or read book Impact of the Army Continuing Education System ACES on Soldier Retention and Performance written by Paul J. Sticha and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) considered the following programs: (a) Tuition Assistance (TA); (b) Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST; (c) Military Occupational Specialty Improvement Training (MOSIT); (d) Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Leader Skill Enhancement Courses; and (e) the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT). The assessment of the effectiveness of these programs is based on their ability to enhance soldier performance and increase the prospects of promotion, as well as to reduce attrition and increase reenlistment. The evaluation data came from a longitudinal administrative database that tracked a three-year accession cohort over a six-year period and an NCO database including self-reported participation in ACES programs, promotion information, and observed performance ratings. The analysis was designed to separate effects of participant characteristics from the effects of the program, and to control for differences in the opportunity and propensity to participate in ACES. Participation in TA and FAST were associated with an increase in the probability of first term reenlistment FAST participation was also associated with lower first-term attrition. Participation in several ACES programs showed positive effects on measures of performance and promotion potential.
