Book Air Force Enlisted Personnel Retention Accession Model

Download or read book Air Force Enlisted Personnel Retention Accession Model written by Thomas R. Saving and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the methods of analysis and results of an effort designed to develop a methodology for explaining Air Force accessions and retentions. The analysis was conducted in three stages. First, the life-cycle model of the enlistment decision originally developed in a previous contract was extended and clarified. Second, a new data set was developed. These data are described extensively and plotted to reveal its relation to significant institutional changes that occurred over the 1957 to 1978 period. The data were then used to estimate accession supply equations for each sex, race, and AFQT category. Third, two new theoretical developments are presented. The first of these develops a model of the enlisted force by skill group. The second utilizes the theory of economic dynamics to simulate the adjustments of the enlisted force to changes in pertinent variables. (Author).

Book Strengthening U S Air Force Human Capital Management

Download or read book Strengthening U S Air Force Human Capital Management written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.

Book Supply Rate and Equilibrium Inventory of Air Force Enlisted Personnel

Download or read book Supply Rate and Equilibrium Inventory of Air Force Enlisted Personnel written by Arthur De Vany and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to develop and test a general model of the Air Force manpower market. Previous studies of manpower supply have had mixed results, some even indicating that enlistments are negatively related to the Air Force wage. This study indicates that previous work failed to account for the simultaneous determination of enlistments and retentions and so has misinterpreted their regressions as supply equations when they are, in reality, reduced from equations resulting from the joint interaction of Air Force demand and enlistment supply activity. A stochastic process model is used to represent the Air Force manpower market. The variables which determine the levels of the steady state manpower inventory, personnel turnover and new enlistment flows are the mandated force level requirement, Air Force and civilian wages, the unemployment rate and the perceived civilian returns to Air Force provided training. Because both the enlistment rate as well as the planned duration of service are treated in the model it is possible to trace the impact of changes in the determining variables upon retention and enlistments. The empirical work rejects the standard regression 'supply' approach and supports the simultaneous demand and supply approach developed in the study.

Book The Dynamic Retention Model for Air Force Officers

Download or read book The Dynamic Retention Model for Air Force Officers written by Michael G. Mattock and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force (USAF) needs accurate models to develop retention policies that ensure the force has a sufficient number of experienced officers to meet current and future requirements. The dynamic retention model (DRM) can be used to take into account the effect of the availability of multi-year contracts to certain classes of Air Force officers. Unlike the annualized cost of leaving (ACOL) model long used by researchers working on USAF personnel issues, the DRM takes into account the value an officer may place on future career flexibility in the face of uncertainty, and thus is particularly well suited to examining the effect of bonus programs that have service commitments, such as the Aviator Continuation Pay (ACP) program, which pays an annual bonus to pilots and certain groups of navigators and air battle managers who commit to extend their service for specified numbers of years or to a specified length of service.

Book Retention of Enlisted Maintenance Logistics and Munitions Personnel

Download or read book Retention of Enlisted Maintenance Logistics and Munitions Personnel written by Albert A. Robbert and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, maintenance career fields in the U.S. Air Force have been negatively affected by a series of events that have resulted in an experience shortage. Although there has been an improvement in Total Force manning since 2015, several skill levels are still experiencing shortages. To bridge the experience shortfall, the U.S. Government Accountability Office called for an Air Force retention strategy tailored to retain experienced maintainers. The RAND Corporation was asked to explore whether individual characteristics, economic and geographic factors, and the new Blended Retirement System (BRS) could provide additional insights into what predicts retention of this workforce. This report focuses primarily on aircraft maintenance career fields, with some attention to munitions and logistics career fields as resources permitted. The authors undertake two analytic approaches to examine the underlying determinants of retention. First, they use logistic regression to determine how strongly a variety of individual and environmental characteristics are associated with decisions to reenlist, extend an enlistment, or separate from the Air Force; second, they use RAND's Dynamic Retention Model to estimate how the new BRS will affect maintenance, munitions, and logistics career fields when those in the new system reach retention decision points. The authors find that changes in individual characteristics and environmental variables have improved retention in the maintenance, munitions, and logistics career fields. Although much of what influences retention is beyond the Air Force's control, the authors offer a number of recommendations and identify areas of emphasis that could be exploited.

Book Body Composition and Physical Performance

Download or read book Body Composition and Physical Performance written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the entire field of body composition as it relates to performance. It includes a clear definition of terminology and a discussion of the various methods for measuring body composition. The authored papers represent a state-of-the-art review of this controversial field and address questions such as: What is a better measure of body compositionâ€"body fat or lean body mass? Does being overweight for one's height really affect performance? The book also addresses the issue of physical appearance as it relates to body fatness and performance. It includes an in-depth discussion of many of the topics of interest to those involved in sports medicine and exercise physiology.

Book Retention of Air Force Enlisted Personnel An Empirical Examination

Download or read book Retention of Air Force Enlisted Personnel An Empirical Examination written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper documents a multiyear effort to quantify the relationship between the national labor economy and retention of experienced personnel in the Air Force. A general labor-theory model is presented to explain total force retention. The model is then extended to describe retention in specific career fields. Probit equations are developed to predict individual retention decision across first, second, and career term retention decision points within each career field. The empirical results generally support hypotheses concerning direction and strength of impact of demographic, policy, bonus, and wage variables with considerable variation being noted across career fields. Future research issues are also proposed. Keywords include: economic retention model; enlisted retention model; longitudinal database; probit model; retention analysis.

Book Developing an Air Force Retention Early Warning System

Download or read book Developing an Air Force Retention Early Warning System written by David Schulker and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RAND Project Air Force was tasked with developing a new capability for planners: a retention early warning system (REWS) that alerts policymakers when a subgroup of U.S. Air Force (USAF) military members is at risk for future shortages. The goal of the research project was to develop a forecasting model for retention, operationalized within a prototype decision-support application, that can alert decisionmakers to emerging problems and thus allow them enough time to consider adjusting accession and retention policies before shortages occur. The authors' overall approach to designing the system drew on widely used paradigms for solving data science problems. These paradigms emphasize understanding the business problem, drawing on a wide array of data sources and types, testing several flexible prediction approaches to optimize performance, and operationalizing the information for decisionmaking. To gain an understanding of the data sources that would be desirable for this application, the authors performed an extensive review of the turnover literature and identified gaps in existing USAF data collection efforts.

Book Promotion Tempo and Enlisted Retention

Download or read book Promotion Tempo and Enlisted Retention written by Richard J. Buddin and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous retention research has concentrated on military/civilian pay levels and has largely ignored changes in military promotion timing. Over the past several years, promotion tempo has slowed considerably in the enlisted force; the implications of the slowdown, however, have received little attention. This report examines factors that affect promotion timing during the first enlistment term and examines how changes in promotion tempo affect the first-term retention decision. The authors developed and estimated a joint, integrated model of promotion and first-term retention behavior and compare the results with those from previous approaches that use little (if any) promotion information. The results demonstrate that retention models are sensitive to the specification of individual promotion opportunities at the end of the first term. The approach also shows that several key parameters of traditional models have been misleading because they have not adjusted for promotion timing. The authors conclude that soldiers are quite sensitive to promotion tempo and that promotion could be used to complement military pay and bonus policies in retaining quality personnel in hard-to-fill skills. Promotion policy should be an important part of any compensation package. Finally, they suggest that the services not rely on reduced promotion tempo to induce lower retention during the planned military drawdown.
