Download or read book Economic Factors in Reserve Attrition written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the separation decisions of prior-service reservists in the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard, the two components that recruit over 60 percent of all Selected Reserve prior-service accessions. The authors examine the effects of military compensation on attrition among prior-service reservists. They also investigate the ways separation patterns differ, depending on the personal characteristics of individuals. In successive sections, the report (1) reviews the conceptual model of attrition that guides the empirical work and specifies the hypotheses that are tested with the data; (2) discusses the data available for modeling attrition, and the methods of analysis; (3) describes the variation in length of service among prior-service enlistees as a function of selected characteristics; and (4) presents results from a multivariate analysis of attrition. The study suggests that the rate of military pay can significantly affect the length of service of prior-service personnel. However, demographic characteristics have a much larger influence on attrition than economic factors; targeted recruiting may be more effective in retaining personnel for longer terms than changing compensation policies.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the reenlistment part of the Reserve/National Guard force structure model. Analysis of the Defense Manpower Data Center's Reserve Component surveys, 1986, Reserve Components Common Personnel Data System, and civilian moonlighting wages predicted from the Bureau of the Census reveals that the U.S. Congress can increase reenlistment by increasing Reserve pay. Reenlistment can also be increased by assigning reservists to primary Military Occupational Specialties in which they are trained.

Download or read book Accession and Attrition of Prior service Reservists written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note documents a briefing about research on prior-service reservists that was designed to complement previous research about the behavior of non-prior-service reservists. The research investigates accession into the reserves among two groups of individuals with prior military service: (1) those who served on active duty in the Army, and (2) those who served in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard and left reserve service. The research then examines the attrition decision among persons from these two groups who do join (or rejoin) the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. It considers what prior-service personnel enter the reserves, when, why, and the match between their active and reserve occupational specialties. It also considers who leaves the reserves, when, why, and how attrition patterns differ by specialty. The results suggest that targeted recruiting may have more effect on attrition rates than do changes in compensation policies. However, affiliation bonuses appear to be an effective means of recruiting those leaving active service, and, at least for the Army Reserve, in decreasing attrition among those who receive a bonus.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, U.S. Army, sponsored a Conference on Army Manpower Economics in Williamsburg, Virginia, on December 5-7, 1984. With the military's growing interest in economic research and the usefulness of econometric analyses in addressing military manpower issues, it was appropriate to assemble senior Army policy makers, leading academicians, and other researchers to discuss Army manpower research and policy issues. The collection of articles presented in this volume is a direct outgrowth of that conference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report has two objectives. The first objective is to estimate the extent of financial gains or losses of Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) soldiers for the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) peacekeeping mission in the Sinai. The second objective is to estimate the effect of these gains/losses on soldiers' intentions to remain in their respective component until retirement. Data for a population of approximately 500 soldiers were collected during their predeployment training at Fort Bragg, NC and during deployment at the South Camp in the Sinai. Results of these analyses revealed that AC soldiers perceived a small financial loss ($102 per month) and RC soldiers perceived considerable financial gain ($335 per month). Therefore, soldiers experienced net average financial gains ($233 per month). Regression results for change in financial status revealed that civilian earnings were negatively related to financial gains of the RC. Regression results for career commitment revealed that the soldiers' likelihood of staying in their respective component until retirement increased with financial gains, while statistically controlling for satisfaction with Army life and demographic variables."--DTIC.

Download or read book Reserve Accessions Among Individuals with Prior Military Service written by M. Susan Marquis and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes the accession behavior of enlistees who have had prior military service either on active duty or in reserve service. The report focuses on the accession behavior of prior service reservists who served in the active Army or in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard. These reservists account for the largest number of separations, and these components have also traditionally had relatively greater problems in meeting their end-strength requirements. The authors endeavor to determine which policies appear to increase accessions among prior service personnel, placing special emphasis on reserve pay and affiliation bonuses. They investigate how skill match varies across different occupations, the timing of entry, years of service, and area demand.
