Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes an extensive investigation of the constructs of motivation, morale, and job satisfaction as they relate to enlisted personnel in the United States Army. A comprehensive literature review helped to delineate definitions of the three constructs and to identify motivation and satisfaction inventories to be tried in the field. In addition to existing inventories, new measures also were developed for field testing. Since the literature review revealed almost no measures explicitly designed to measure morale, another phase of our research was devoted to a series of workshops where Army officers and enlisted personnel recounted actual episodes that they perceived to be indicative of different levels of unit morale. These episodes were used to define eight dimensions of unit morale and to develop scales for rating a unit's morale on those dimensions (Community Relations; Teamwork and Cooperation; Reactions to Adversity; Superior-Subordinate Relations; Performance and Effort; Bearing, Appearance and Military Discipline; Pride in Unit, Army, and Country; and Use of Off-Duty Time). The questionnaires, inventories and rating scales were field tested by administering them to 466 enlisted men (representing 104 platoons and 16 companies) in the Eighth Army (Korea), 614 soldiers (representing 47 platoons and 16 companies) in the Seventh Army (Germany) and 126 men in Minnesota National Guard units.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation examined motivation, work-related satisfaction, and morale among enlisted persons in the Army. A review of relevant literature helped to delineate definition of these constructs and to identify instruments to be administered in the field. A variety of civilian-oriented questionnaires and inventories was field tested, using 466 soldiers (representing 104 platoons and 16 companies) in one sample and 614 soldiers (representing 47 platoons and 16 companies) in a separate sample. Analysis of the results showed six distinctly separate motivation/satisfaction constructs with acceptable convergent and discriminant validities. Composite measures of these six constructs correlated moderately with self-reports of plans to reenlist and pride in the Army but near zero with self-reported problem behavior. Advantages of such multimethod composite measures are discussed. (Author).
Download or read book Impact of REALTRAIN and Conventional Combined Arms Exercises on Participant Morale written by Paul R. Bleda and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examined the immediate impact on the morale of combat units stationed in Germany of two types of combined arms exercises. Armor and infantry personnel undergoing 1 week of either platoon-level REALTRAIN (n = 22 platoons) or conventional field exercises within a battalion Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) (N = 9 companies) were administered an instrument designed to assess nine specific morale components. These components reflected respondents' motivation before and satisfaction after the exercises, as well as their general job satisfaction and unit cohesiveness in the Army. The results indicated that higher levels of exercise-specific satisfaction were evidenced after completion of REALTRAIN than expected before, whereas the reverse was found for more conventional exercises. A similar pattern of findings emerged for certain job-satisfaction dimensions, but the pattern was not as pronounced as that related to the exercises. In sum, REALTRAIN had a significant positive impact on six (p less than .05) of the nine morale components and no effect on three, while the conventional exercises had a positive influence on only one component and a negative effect on six (p less than .10).

Download or read book Airlift Doctrine written by Charles Miller and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n this extremely comprehensive overview of airlift and air mobility, Colonel Miller shows how the worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free-world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Airlift is the movement of goods and people to where they are needed, when they are needed there. Since the 1920s there has been an evolving awareness and articulation of how to best organize, train, and equip airlift forces for that mission. The worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Colonel Miller's study traces these many interrelationships to discover what critical airlift decisions were made, why they were made, and what they may mean in the future. Airlift is the backbone of deterrence. A properly structured and equipped airlift force is critical to the successful execution of the national military strategy. How we think about airlift and how we translate those thoughts into a meaningful expression of how to develop, deploy, and employ airlift forces is vital to the national defense. Colonel Miller's study is a definitive step in that important process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Drake has skillfully woven together the various strands of the Appalachian experience into a sweeping whole. Touching upon folk traditions, health care, the environment, higher education, the role of blacks and women, and much more, Drake offers a compelling social history of a unique American region. The Appalachian region, extending from Alabama in the South up to the Allegheny highlands of Pennsylvania, has historically been characterized by its largely rural populations, rich natural resources that have fueled industry in other parts of the country, and the strong and wild, undeveloped land. The rugged geography of the region allowed Native American societies, especially the Cherokee, to flourish. Early white settlers tended to favor a self-sufficient approach to farming, contrary to the land grabbing and plantation building going on elsewhere in the South. The growth of a market economy and competition from other agricultural areas of the country sparked an economic decline of the region's rural population at least as early as 1830. The Civil War and the sometimes hostile legislation of Reconstruction made life even more difficult for rural Appalachians. Recent history of the region is marked by the corporate exploitation of resources. Regional oil, gas, and coal had attracted some industry even before the Civil War, but the postwar years saw an immense expansion of American industry, nearly all of which relied heavily on Appalachian fossil fuels, particularly coal. What was initially a boon to the region eventually brought financial disaster to many mountain people as unsafe working conditions and strip mining ravaged the land and its inhabitants. A History of Appalachia also examines pockets of urbanization in Appalachia. Chemical, textile, and other industries have encouraged the development of urban areas. At the same time, radio, television, and the internet provide residents direct links to cultures from all over the world. The author looks at the process of urbanization as it belies commonly held notions about the region's rural character.

Download or read book Behavioral Approaches to Crime and Delinquency written by Edward K. Morris and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The systematic application of behavioral psychology to crime and delinquency was begun only 20 years ago, yet it has already contributed significantly to our practical knowledge about prevention and correction and to our general under standing of a pressing social problem. In this handbook, we review and evalu ate what has been accomplished to date, as well as what is currently at the leading edge of the field. We do so in order to present a clear, comprehensive, and systematic view of the field and to promote and encourage still more effective action and social policy reform in the future. The chapters in this text have been written by professionals who were among the original innovators in applying behavioral psychology to crime and delinquency and who continue to make critical contributions to the field's progress, and by a new generation of energetic, young professionals who are taking the field in important and innovative directions. The contributors have attempted to review and evaluate their areas with critical dispassion, to pro vide thorough but not overly specialized discussion of their material, and to draw implications for how research, application, and social policy might be improved in the future. For our part as editors, we have tried to foster integra tion across the chapters and to provide background and conceptual material of our own.
