Download or read book Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention Background and First Sea Tour Factors as Predictors of Continuance Beyond Obligated Services written by Thomas M. Cook and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the fifth in a series that addresses factors that affect the early career/professional development and retention of junior surface warfare officers (SWOs). The sample consisted of 128 junior SWOs commissioned during 1974-75 who had responded to a career development questionnaire in early 1979. Of these, 58 (45%) had left service at the end of obligation and 70 (55%) remained on active duty (as of September 1981). Background and first sea tour factors were used to predict career intent and continuance. Results showed that career intent was substantially associated with a combination of first sea tour work experiences and percentages. Career intent, in turn, was found to account for substantial variance (R square = .25) in the continuance criterion. Results strongly supported the hypothesis that continuance decisions are the product of early navy work experiences (e.g., opportunities, assignment patterns, etc.). Results are discussed with attention to leadership, assignment, and policy implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation, the third in a series based on data collected from a sample of junior surface warface officers (SWOs) during 1978-79, addressed factors that affect their early career/professional development and the relationships between developmental progress, officer performance, and career intent. Results indicated that timely completion of career essential qualifications was not related to background factors such as commissioning source, academic class rank, or military class rank, but it was related to attendance at the Surface Warfare Officer School (SWOS)-Basic, shipboard assignment variation, and individual perceptions of the work environment during the initial sea tour. Also, professional development progress was positively related to career intent and officer performance, as indicated by fitness reports. Findings are discussed with attention to policy/leadership implications.

Book excerpt: This study is the second in a series funded by the Chief of Naval Personnel to address low retention of officers in the Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) community. Low junior officer retention is a concern, particularly with respect to SWO women--whose numbers have steadily declined since the repeal of the Combat Exclusion Act in 1994. Studies conducted in this area have found that family-related factors, as well as leadership and culture factors (including morale and lack of mentoring), push both men and women out of the Navy. Nonetheless, the Navy's primary effort to improve retention has been to introduce the Surface Warfare Officer Continuation Pay (SWOCP) in 1994 and, subsequently, to offer a Critical Skills Retention Bonus. Retention bonuses have not offset the non-monetary concerns, particularly for women. The present study focuses on the non-monetary factors that have received little attention in the past with respect to changes that could be made to improve retention. The findings apply to both men and women. Unlike previous studies that have assessed intentions of SWOs to stay or leave, the current study is based on a survey of officers who have actually made the decision to leave active duty and who are now in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). The data show that family-related factors are the highest-rated influences on the decision to leave active duty; this holds true for both men and women and older vs. younger year groups. Women felt more strongly than men about the influence some of these factors had on the decision to leave active duty, but the similarity between the opinions expressed by men and women was surprising. Further, monetary incentives have less influence on retention than family or leadership factors. "Total military pay" was more important to men than to women, but still placed lower on the list than many other factors that caused men to leave active duty. Other findings are reported that concern mentoring, gender issues, feelings about the separation decision, and incentives that could encourage this group to consider returning to active duty. More women than men would consider returning, and improvements in leadership were mentioned most often by all groups as a change that needs to be made to improve retention. Finally, recommendations are made for training interventions and research to address leadership issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Junior Surface Warfare Officer retention is in a crisis. The Surface Warfare Officer community anticipates an inability to fill Department Head billets due to the number of junior Surface Warfare Officers leaving military service. The goal of this study was to predict Surface Warfare Officer retention levels through the validation of a conceptual model from the Surface Warfare Community Manager's office using logistic regression and Classification and Regression Tree analysis. This study utilized data from the Officer Master File and the results from a questionnaire administered to active duty Surface Warfare Officers. Manpower analysts can use this model to predict whether certain groups of officers, with a given set of characteristics, are more likely to remain in military service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retention of naval officers is often assumed to be independent of the economic circumstances of the individual. This study makes use of classical, normal linear least squares regression techniques and recent surface warfare officer retention data in an attempt to determine whether the retention of lieutenants can be related to a set of economic control variables. In the pursuit of that goal, several previously developed econometric models which describe first-term enlisted retention are modified for use on officer data and compared for goodness of fit.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface warfare community has missed its retention goals since FY76 and projections suggest that this trend will continue. To identify factors related to retention of surface warfare junior officers (JOs), previous studies on retention were reviewed and a sample of JOs at the Naval Postgraduate School was interviewed. Information obtained was used to develop a research plan designed to address critical areas affecting retention. A survey questionnaire covering the research questions to be addressed by the research plan was developed and pretested. Future reports will describe results obtained by analysis of questionnaire data. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify factors that lead to resignation of Junior Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) and to develop an hedonic model of junior SWO turnover. The first source of data was a survey of active- duty, junior SWOs currently serving aboard ships. The second source of data was a survey of 0-3 SWOs who are currently drilling in the Naval Reserves. Results of the two surveys were compared to identify differing levels of satisfaction with the active-duty Navy. The reservists also compared their satisfaction between the active-duty Navy and their current civilian employment Civilian salary levels were obtained from the reservists and their spouses to determine the pay differential between the Navy and civilian jobs for former junior SWOs. A regression model found three factors to have significant power in explaining civilian pay: years since leaving active duty, employment status, and comparative work stress between civilian employment and the active-duty Navy. SWOs with full-time employment who experienced the greatest reductions in pay also experienced the greatest reduction in work Stress. Junior SWOs experienced, on average, a 20 percent pay cut after leaving active duty. Pay returned to its pre-departure level in 2 to three years.

Book excerpt: The factors that contribute to surface warfare officer in the Navy were investigated. Information was obtained from a sample of 373 stayers and 52 leavers selected from a larger sample of 3,059 surface warfare officers who responded to a survey of officer career development in 1986. An hypothesized model of surface warfare officer retention, based on Steers and Mowday's model of employee turnover (1981), was tested using path analyses. The results of the analyses supported several of the major linkages contained in the model. In line with the model, stated career intent had the strongest influence on officer retention. Additionally, search for alternatives had a direct impact on retention. Level of organizational commitment, along with spousal support and tenure, had a direct influence on career intent. The direct links from spousal support, esteem, assignment acceptability, and benefits to organizational commitment were also supported. Overall, the present study contributes to our understanding of the turnover process within a military setting and provides avenues for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample of 691 surface warfare junior officers (JOs) was surveyed to identify JO experiences with and attitudes toward assignment process variable and to determine whether these experiences and attitudes related to career intent and/or officer quality. Results showed that JO career intent was positively related to satisfaction with informal notification time for new assignments, obtaining desired assignments, evaluation of the assignment process, evaluations of detailers' interpersonal skills, and use of both local superiors and headquarters sources for career guidance. Officer quality was not related to outcomes or evaluations of the assignment process. (Author).
