Book excerpt: The Army must ensure that retention efforts result in the reenlistment of enough qualified enlisted personnel to maintain force readiness. The purpose of this research was to identify factors that influence soldiers' reenlistment intentions and decisions. A comprehensive model of career decision making was developed and tested using path analysis. The findings indicate that the major determinant of reenlistment intent is organizational commitment, which in turn is influenced by tenure, satisfaction, and perceptions of unattainable needs and aspirations, civilian alternatives, MOS, and demographic and organizational variables on reenlistment intent. Discussion addresses the relevance of the findings to retention policy and career counseling in the Army. Keywords: Job satisfaction, Enlisted personnel, Occupational stress, Work adjustment theory, Multivariate analysis, Path analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1980 a representative sample of soldiers of all three forces of the German Federal Armed Forces (ranks: private to sergeant) was questionned. Topic of this research work was the analysis of determinants of job satisfaction and readiness for reenlistment. Controlling for the variables 'force' and 'status' (compulsory condition vs. enlistment for two years vs. enlistment for three or four years vs. enlistment for five years or longer) we have analysed the most important determinants by multiple regression. The main determinants of job satisfaction and readiness for reenlistment are: affinity for military concerns, perception of the military superiors and the conditions of work. Readiness for reenlistment in particular has additional social determinants: the attitude of the wife respectively the girlfriend and personal contacts with the union-leader.

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: The paper deals with the development of Army reenlistment rates by relating specific causal factors through multiple regression analysis. With FY66 separation records as a data base, investigation revealed that grade, race, military occupational specialty (MOS), and state of residence were the most significant factors in explaining reenlistment decisions. These were combined as parameters in a regression equation that provides an improved basis for estimating the number of men who will reenlist at the expiration of their term of service. Several tables of reenlistment rates are presented in the paper, but these are based on FY66 data only. The most important results of the study are not the actual rates but the exposition of a methodology and a model that improve the capability for prediction. The model parameters also provide the basis for analysis of important manpower policy variables. (Author).

This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze factors that influence first-term reenlistment decisions in the US Army. The data used for this thesis were taken from the US Army Small Tracking File (STF) database and merged with Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) US Army enlisted cohort files. The Army currently categorizes personnel into 10 broad characteristic groups based on gender, education, Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score category, and enlistment term. The scope of this thesis is limited to soldiers in the first characteristic group, commonly known as "C-Group 1." This characteristic group consists of men who enlist for a 3-year or 4-year term of enlistment, score at least at the 50th percentile on the AFQT, and possess at least a high school diploma. This group accounts for approximately one-third of all enlistees. This thesis specifically examined the demographic background and military experience characteristics of soldiers, eligible for reenlistment, from the 1990, 1991, and 1992 cohorts. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation analysis and logistic regression were employed to analyze the data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to determine how time affects the factors that influence the retention decision of Navy enlisted members. The empirical analysis utilizes two different samples, the first composed of enlisted members and the second of members and their spouses. What differentiates this study from other retention studies is the stratification of the samples before conducting the analysis. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the change in the probability of reenlistment and the significance of identified variables. Results show that member's intentions are a good predictor of reenlistment behavior, and that the impact of each factor affecting the reenlistment decision changes, depending on the member's gender, time to EAOS and enlistment term. Spouse and family factors were also found to affect the member's reenlistment decision. This information assists in developing an understanding of the factors that are important to service members, which should facilitate policies to increase retention of Navy enlisted members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Uses data on 4,000 first-term Army, Navy, and Air Force enlisted personnel to construct a model of reenlistment based on survey measures of the value of regular military compensation (RMC), bonuses, in-kind and in-cash allowances, and negative aspects of the service environment. Concludes that reenlistment rates would rise significantly if RMC were increased, but that changes in the other factors would have negligible effect. Reenlistment rates were higher among personnel who received higher bonus payments, among females and nonwhites, and among those who received the dependent quarters allowance in kind instead of in cash. Rates were lower among those who underestimated the value of their compensation, who had completed high school education or more, whose test scores indicated high mental ability, and who served in the Air Force. Although rises in RMC are effective, the authors concluded that shifting to all-cash compensation would entail dislocations that could outweigh the beneficial effects on reenlistment."--Rand abstracts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the reenlistment intentions of enlisted personnel in their second term of military service. Data were taken from the 1979 Department of Defense [Survey of Personnel Entering Military Service]. About 2,500 enlistees (from all services) met the working definition of having less than one year remaining in their second term, having served six to ten years, and having achieved a pay grade of E3 through E7. A statistical analysis (logistic regression model) was tailored to each service; it related the survey respondent's reenlistment intentions to four types of factors: compensation, promotion, location, and job satisfaction. Compensation and promotion emerged as the key factors, the others assuming varying degrees of importance in different services. As a reenlistment incentive, however, guaranteed location of choice emerged as potentially important, along with bonuses, shorter reenlistment periods, and increased probability of promotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the reenlistment decisions of early- to mid-career reservists (i.e., those with 4-12 years of service) and the forces affecting those decisions. Using the 1986 Reserve Components Survey of Enlisted Personnel, the authors extended earlier reenlistment estimates in several important directions, including (1) developing a reenlistment model with reservists from all six components to measure the impact of component-specific influences; (2) measuring the influence of perceived spouse attitude on reenlistment and contrasting this with a similar measure of perceived employer attitude; and (3) measuring the influence of the training and unit environment on reenlistment. The findings underscore the importance of attitudinal variables in models of reenlistment. Reservists with more favorable employer attitudes have significantly higher reenlistment rates. Spouse attitude toward reserve participation appears to have an even more significant influence on reenlistment rates than employer attitudes. The authors find that the net effect of all the variables in the multivariate models are rather small in magnitude compared with those relating to the marital status/dependents/spouse attitude variables. Dissatisfaction with training, equipment, and morale of the unit also appears to have a fairly significant impact on reenlistment.
