Book A Comparative Examination of Four Different Approaches to the Prediction of Organizational Withdrawal

Download or read book A Comparative Examination of Four Different Approaches to the Prediction of Organizational Withdrawal written by Peter W. Hom and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of the Fishbein and Triandis models, Porter's organizational commitment, and the Job Descriptive Index in predicting reenlistment intention and behavior in the National Guard were compared. Surveys were administered to 1169 Guardsmen in 29 National Guard units. During the six months after the survey, 255 respondents made reenlistment decisions. Reenlistment intention was highly related to reenlistment (r = .70). Both reenlistment criteria were strongly predicted by Fishbein's and Triandis' models (Rs = .70's) but moderately predicted by commitment (r = .47) and job satisfaction (R = .51). The alternative descriptive version of Fishbein's model fared poorly. Moral obligation to perform the act did not enhance the predictability of Fishbein's model. Fishbein's and Triandis' models mediated the effects of exogenous variables on the criteria. Except for components of Fishbein's and Triandis' models, influences on behavior were mediated through behavioral intention. (Author).

Book The Effects of Organizational Function on Responses  The Mediating Role of Technology and Job Characteristics

Download or read book The Effects of Organizational Function on Responses The Mediating Role of Technology and Job Characteristics written by Ralph Katerberg (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures of job characteristics, job satisfaction, internal work motivation, and re-enlistment intentions were taken from 910 Amry National guardsmen and 608 Air National guardsmen. Army guardsmen were sampled from 28 units, representing 8 functional specialties that were located throughout a midwestern state. Air guardsmen were sampled from each of two functional specialties within three large Air Guard bases. The three bases were considered to represent three levels of technological complexity. These data were used to examine the relationships among functional specialty, technology, job characteristics, and responses. It was hypothesized that unit-level measures of technology and individual-level measures of job characteristics would account for Army functional specialty differences on responses. In addition, the independent influences of overall base technology and functional specialty on both job characteristics and attitudes were explored.

Book Reenlistment in the U S  Army Reserve

Download or read book Reenlistment in the U S Army Reserve written by Faris R. Kirkland and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines motivational and other factors that influence reenlistment intentions of U.S. Army Reservists in troop program units. A mail survey was conducted in 1978 with a resulting representative sample of 892 reservists who were in their first enlistment, reenlistment or extension in the Army Reserve and who were within six months of their end of term of service (ETS). Questionnaire data were merged with demographic, personal background, and military career data for respondents and with objective data concerning characteristics of their reserve units. Reenlistment intentions were related to several demographic, background, and military career characteristics of reservists and to reservists' subjective perceptions of their units, but not to certain objective characteristics of their units. Five general characteristics of the reserve experience were identified as independent dimensions underlying more specific characteristics highly related to reenlistment intent: job satisfaction; prestige of reserve membership; social utility of reserve membership; interference-facilitation effect of reserve membership on other aspects of reservists lives (e.g., home life and civilian job); and supervisor-subordinate relations in the unit. Popularity of certain unit characteristics, existing and hypothetical benefits of reserve membership, and proposed changes in the Army Reserve were also related to reenlistment intent.

Book Serving Away from Home

Download or read book Serving Away from Home written by James R. Hosek and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2002 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does deployment affect reenlistment? The authors look at this particular issue in wake of the high rate of military deployment throughout the 1990s and with the prospect that deployment will rise even more in the coming years. The research finds that reenlistment was higher among members who deployed compared with those who did not. The analysis suggests that past deployment influences current reenlistment behavior because it enables members to learn about their preferences for deployment.

Book Leadership Stability in Army Reserve Component Units

Download or read book Leadership Stability in Army Reserve Component Units written by Thomas F. Lippiatt and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability of personnel is highly valued in all military forces, especially in units that are preparing for deployment. A particular concern is personnel turbulence (personnel leaving the unit and being replaced by others) among the unit leadership. Even if the Army must live with turbulence among the bulk of unit members, it would prefer to have unit officers and noncommissioned officers in place to plan and oversee training of the troops with whom they will deploy. This monograph reports results of a study to determine the level of turbulence among unit leadership and to address several related questions: What causes leader turbulence? What effects might it have on training and preparation for future missions that may require RC units? What steps, if any, could be taken to mitigate it? The authors used data from 2003 through 2011 on Army National Guard infantry battalions and Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve military police and truck companies. They find high rates of personnel instability, caused generally by vacancies, personnel losses, and those who don't deploy. This turbulence generates a large influx of new leaders entering units who have not been through all the training with the soldiers they will lead. The monograph makes recommendations for estimating preparation time for different types of units and for department policy to mitigate effects on mission preparation.

Book Predictors of the Intent to Reenlist for Air National Guard Members After 9 11

Download or read book Predictors of the Intent to Reenlist for Air National Guard Members After 9 11 written by Amy S. Morys and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons why a military member chooses to reenlist during a time of conflict. The retention of trained and qualified servicemen and women is critical to the all-volunteer military, currently engaged in the United States' longest war. The purpose of the current study was to examine the extent to which institutional, occupational and monetary incentives, perceived unit support, and job satisfaction predict the intent to reenlist, in order to provide senior leaders with greater insight into the effectiveness of current retention efforts and development of new programs.

Book The Effects of Job Satisfaction on Air Force Enlistee Retention

Download or read book The Effects of Job Satisfaction on Air Force Enlistee Retention written by Kenn Finstuen and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to assess the concurrent and predictive validity of occupational attitudes, as measured by the Air Force Occupational Attitude Inventory (OAI), in relation to global job satisfaction, reenlistment intent, and actual reenlistment behavior of first-term enlisted airmen. The OAI was administered to two samples of airmen consisting of 1,217 personnel in 1973 and 4,784 personnel in 1975. When considered as a set, the OAI items were found to bear a strong relationship to global job satisfaction, a somewhat lesser relationship to reenlistment behavior. These relationships maintained their significance when the baseline effects of 53 biographical and job-related variables were held constant in regression analyses. Findings indicated that global job satisfaction was associated with the following: job challenge, the use of airman abilities, and feelings of accomplishment. Reenlistment intent and actual reenlistment were most highly associated with satisfaction with pay and benefits as compared to civilian jobs, the consideration the Air Force gave enlistees, removal of irritants, and contributions to the national defense. Cross-validation of the 1973 and 1975 equations revealed that these relationships were stable through time.

Book The Effect of Selected Variables on Job satisfaction and Intent to Re enlist

Download or read book The Effect of Selected Variables on Job satisfaction and Intent to Re enlist written by George K. Cantrell and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data contained in 2,122 survey forms collected from maintenance personnel in 20 different military units in the Far East, the Continental United States, and Europe were analyzed to answer two questions: (1) Which of the items included in the survey were useful in predicting job-satisfaction. (2) Which of the items included in the survey were useful in predicting an airman's intent to re-enlist in the United States Air Force. The results of these analyses are presented with recommendations of four actions believed to be capable of increasing job-satisfaction levels and re-enlistment rate. (Author).
