Download or read book Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention Spouses Influence on Career Decisions written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information obtained from a questionnaire to which 312 male surface warfare junior Officers (JOs) responded was used to determine how JOs felt their wives influenced their intent to pursue a Navy career, and how their wives felt about separations, relocations, pay, and benefits of Navy life. Officers, in general, felt their wives were supportive of their Navy careers. Separation was considered the worst aspect of Navy life and had the most pronounced influence against a Navy career. Wives who were most supportive of a Navy career were most socially and emotionally involved in the career. Wives who worked outside the home were less supportive of a Navy career than were those who worked within the home. Wives who were teachers or Navy officers found relations more difficult to accommodate and were more reluctant for their husbands to remain in the Navy than were wives in other types of jobs. Few Navy wives attended detailer field trip meetings, but those who did were more supportive of a Navy career than those who did not. The assistance of superior officers in helping wives adjust to new duty stations was rated most helpful, and Navy Family Services least helpful, indicating that COs and XOs should recognize their influence on officer retention, and that officers and their wives should be educated on the value and use of Navy Family Services to alleviate stresses of relocation and separation.

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.

Download or read book The Dual Career Household and Its Effects on Surface Warfare Officer Career Intent and Career Satisfaction written by William D Valentine (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes data from a survey of the Surface Warfare Officer community. The questionnaire was initiated by Navy Personnel Research and Development Center (NPRDC) in the summer of 1981. This thesis enhances the understanding of the effects of dual-careers and related family issues on surface warfare officer retention. Six theoretical measures were identified (household career status, family responsibility, grade, type duty, family disruptions, and family decision processor), which were expected to explain the variance across career intent and career satisfaction. The study defined a dual-career family as a family in which husband and wife pursue careers that (a) both have professional-administrative-technical (PAT) jobs and (b) the relative proportion between the two incomes is between 60-40 and 50-50.

Download or read book The 71F Advantage written by National Defense University Press and published by NDU Press. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes a foreword by Major General David A. Rubenstein. From the editor: "71F, or "71 Foxtrot," is the AOC (area of concentration) code assigned by the U.S. Army to the specialty of Research Psychology. Qualifying as an Army research psychologist requires, first of all, a Ph.D. from a research (not clinical) intensive graduate psychology program. Due to their advanced education, research psychologists receive a direct commission as Army officers in the Medical Service Corps at the rank of captain. In terms of numbers, the 71F AOC is a small one, with only 25 to 30 officers serving in any given year. However, the 71F impact is much bigger than this small cadre suggests. Army research psychologists apply their extensive training and expertise in the science of psychology and social behavior toward understanding, preserving, and enhancing the health, well being, morale, and performance of Soldiers and military families. As is clear throughout the pages of this book, they do this in many ways and in many areas, but always with a scientific approach. This is the 71F advantage: applying the science of psychology to understand the human dimension, and developing programs, policies, and products to benefit the person in military operations. This book grew out of the April 2008 biennial conference of U.S. Army Research Psychologists, held in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting was to be my last as Consultant to the Surgeon General for Research Psychology, and I thought it would be a good idea to publish proceedings, which had not been done before. As Consultant, I'd often wished for such a document to help explain to people what it is that Army Research Psychologists "do for a living." In addition to our core group of 71Fs, at the Bethesda 2008 meeting we had several brand-new members, and a number of distinguished retirees, the "grey-beards" of the 71F clan. Together with longtime 71F colleagues Ross Pastel and Mark Vaitkus, I also saw an unusual opportunity to capture some of the history of the Army Research Psychology specialty while providing a representative sample of current 71F research and activities. It seemed to us especially important to do this at a time when the operational demands on the Army and the total force were reaching unprecedented levels, with no sign of easing, and with the Army in turn relying more heavily on research psychology to inform its programs for protecting the health, well being, and performance of Soldiers and their families."

Download or read book The Effects of Dual Career Households and Family Responsibilities on Surface Warfare Officer s Career Intent written by Paul Christian Striffler and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Surface Warfare Officer Career Questionnaire and the Officer Master File data were used to analyze the career intentions of a sample of 1277 year group 1961-1980 married Surface Warfare Officers. This thesis enhances understanding of the effects dual career households and family responsibilities have on Surface Warfare Officers' career intentions. Three theoretical constructs were identified (assignment process, spouse involvement, and family disruptions), which were expected to explain the variance across household career status and family responsibility. In general, the findings provide moderate support for explaining differences in career intention across household career status, family responsibility, and rank. The persistent interactions found suggest that the spouse's career is incorporated into the officer's family responsibility issues when making career decisions. Additionally, the study raises many questions for future research to address. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors estimate marriage and marital dissolution trends from 1996 to 2005, and the effects of recent deployments on risk of ending a marriage. Marital dissolution rates across services and components are currently similar to those seen in 1996, when the demands on the military were measurably lower. Service members who were deployed had a lower risk of subsequently ending their marriages than those who did not deploy or deployed fewer days.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Affecting the Career Decisions of West Point Educated Junior Grade Officers Who Have Resigned from the U S Army written by Thomas Edward Murray (II.) and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is designed to determine what factors are influencing junior officers to leave the military organization. A questionnaire was mailed to 324 West Point Graduates. The sample was equally divided between active duty officers and officers who had resigned from the Army. Personnel were queried regarding the influence of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on their career decisions. Responses were analyzed through text and tables throughout this study. Results indicated that both extrinsic and intrinsic factors influenced the young officer to stay in or leave the Army. The influence of senior officers, family separations, perception of proper utilization of background skills, money, fringe benefits and intrinsic motivators were found to be important in influencing the junior officer's career decision. It is evident that this research has only lightly touched the subject of junior officer retention. It is hoped that it will be utilized for future, more extensive research and in that aspect materially aid the ARMY WITH THE RETENTION PROBLEM AND IN TURN INCREASE THE YOUNG OFFICER'S JOB SATISFACTION.
