This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the factors affecting the retention behavior of first term and second term Marine Corps enlisted members. Data were extracted from the 1992 DoD Survey of Officer and Enlisted Personnel and their Spouses and were matched with the respondents' 1996 status from the Active Duty Military Master and Loss File by the Defense Manpower Data Center. The sample was restricted to Marines with between two and ten years-of- service who had less than two years remailing on their enlistment contract and was further stratified by term of enlistment and gender. A complete conceptual model was developed which incorporated individual and organizational factors affecting retention. Four categories of determinants of turnover were used: Demographic, Military Experience, Cognitive and External. Logistic regression was used to measure the relative importance of a broad range of these factors for the retention decision. Results indicated that the factors affecting retention differ across term of service and by gender. No single factor was significant for all gender/term of service samples. Some factors were significant only for a particular term of service. Others were significant only by gender and many were significant only for a single sample. The specific findings can provide manpower planners with targeted information to manage retention levels for first term and second term Marines more effectively.

Download or read book Reenlistment Behavior of First and Second Term Marine Corps Enlisted Personnel written by Thomas A. Finn and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the reenlistment behavior of first-term and second-term enlisted Marines. The data set consists of Marines who have less than two years remaining on their enlistment contract and is divided into subsets to measure behavior differences between first and second term Marines and also between combat arms and non-combat arms occupational fields. Actual reenlistment behavior combined with survey data from the 1985 Survey of Officer and Enlisted Personnel are used to measure the importance of individual attitudes towards various aspects of military life on the reenlistment behavior. The analysis is completed by using a logit, maximum-likelihood estimation technique which calculates the probability that a marine will reenlist given his set of specific characteristics. This thesis also measures the validity of using an individual's stated intention to reenlist as a surrogate for actual reenlistment behavior. The results confirm previous research in this area and identify potential changes in the reenlistment behavior of women. Theses. (SDW).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the U.S. Army became the only service to shift its senior enlistment force from a fixed enlistment contract system to indefinite reenlistment, which eliminated the reenlistment requirement in the latter half of a noncommissioned officer's career and placed them on the same indefinite service contract as officers. This study considers the utility of this program and potential applicability to the other service branches.
Download or read book Tuition Assistance Usage and First Term Military Retention written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuition assistance (TA) is a military-sponsored program that reimburses military members for the cost of college classes while on active duty. The program is part of a series of quality-of-life efforts designed to make military service more attractive to youth and encourage them to remain in the military. This report examines tuition assistance and retention behavior for first-term members of the Navy and Marine Corps (similar data were not available for other military services). The analysis examines what types of sailors and marines use TA and examines whether TA users are more prone to reenlist than are military members who take no college classes dur- ing the first term.
Download or read book First Term Retention of Enlisted Selected Marine Corps SMCR Reservists written by Daniel J. O'Donohue and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines factors that influence a male, first-term enlisted reservist's decision to remain in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR). Specifically, the logistic regression model was used to determine the relative impact of bio-demographic and both pecuniary and nonpecuniary job factors on retention. Models were developed for both nonprior (NPS) and prior active service (PS) reservists. The database was a combination of the responses of participants in the 1986 Reserve Components Surveys and their personnel records from the Reserve Components Common Personnel Data System. The thesis concludes with reserve policy implications and recommendations for further research. Important findings of this thesis were: Reserve income has a statistically significant and positive impact on SMCR retention. Civilian income was not found to be a factor. Educational benefits, civilian job-related training, and retirement benefits were found to be significant factors in retaining prior service reservists.

Book excerpt: "First term reenlistment decisions for recommended and eligible Marine in FY 1980 through FY 1990 are analyzed in this research memorandum. Particular attention is given to the retention effects of selective reenlistment bonuses on Marines in different Armed Force Qualification Test (AFQT) score categories. Additionally, reenlistment behavior for marines of different marital statuses, grade, and length of initial enlistment contracts are analyzed. In the recent past, there have been substantial changes in the characteristics of enlisted Marines, as well as change in Marine Corps personal policy. First, enlisted Marines today are both smarter and better educated than they were in the earlier years of the 1980s. Second, although the percentage of recruits who enter the Marine Corps married or with dependents has remained virtually unchanged over time, the Marine Corps has experience substantial increases in the marriage and dependency rate for enlisted personal. Third, first-term enlistment contracted have been lengthened so that marine now average more years of service at the first reenlistment point. Finally, there has been an increase in both time in service (TIS) and time (TIG) for promotions to corporal (Cpl) and sergeant (Sgt). The impact of these changes on reenlistment decisions of first term enlisted personal (zone A decisions) is the subject of this research memorandum."--Abstract

This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the factors that influence active duty Marines in their retention decisions Data from the 1999 US Marine Corps retention survey are matched with actual retention data from personnel files and limited to Marines eligible to make a stay/leave decision within 24 months of the survey Four subgroups are defined: enlisted first-term males, enlisted first-term females, enlisted career males and officer junior grade males Bivariate analysis of explanatory control variables (personal characteristics and military background) and focus variables (responses to questionnaire items about civilian employment opportunities and satisfaction with aspects of military life) indicates significant associations with retention Factor analysis is used to create seven satisfaction dimensions from the satisfaction variables Multivariate logistic regression model results show that all the satisfaction dimensions are significant for the enlisted first term male model Satisfaction dimensions for pay and benefits, health benefits, work equity, current job characteristics, and future career opportunities are significant in one or more of the remaining models Searching for a civilian job is significant in all models and perceptions of civilian job opportunities are significant in most Among control variables, the interaction of marital status, dependents, and working spouse has a significant effect on retention for first term enlisted males, the only group large enough to test.
Download or read book First term Enlisted Male Marines Satisfaction with Job Characteristics written by Brinley M. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the job satisfaction of first-term male enlisted Marines. Prior research has shown that job satisfaction is an important variable in the retention decisions of both military and civilian workers. Data were extracted from the 1999 USMC Retention Survey and matched with Marine Corps personnel master files. The sample was restricted to E-2 through E-4. Job satisfaction was investigated by separating the data set by occupational group. Results indicate that over one-third of the respondents are dissatisfied with their job, a majority feel they have to 'pick up the load' because the unit is understaffed, and over sixty percent feel their original expectations of the job have not been met. In the comparison of occupational groups, personnel in the combat arms community are significantly more dissatisfied with their job than the other four MOS communities. These findings can provide Marine Corps leaders with targeted information regarding occupational groups to use in improving job satisfaction and retention.

Download or read book The Effects of Combat Exposure on Reenlistment and Attrition written by Nicholas R. Pergar and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The operational environment faced by today's service members is characterized by continued deployments to combat zones where large segments of the active duty population experience stressful deployments throughout their enlistments. This study examines how battlefield experiences affect retention and attrition behavior among firstterm enlisted personnel. The data for this thesis comes from the Defense Manpower Data Center and the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center. A multivariate analysis using probit models was used to estimate effects Analyses of the models indicate that the effects of combat experiences on firstterm enlisted retention and attrition rates vary depending on the Service. Witnessing the death or injury of enemy combatants while deployed increases the attrition rates among soldiers and Marines but decreases the attrition rates for sailors and airmen. Exposure to destroyed military vehicles leads to decreases in attrition rates among soldiers, sailors, and Marines while airmen experience an increased attrition rate. Among service members who have completed at least 36 months of active duty service (24 months for three-year contracts) combat exposure that is statistically significant generally increases retention among service members in the Army and Air Force but decreases retention rates for service members in the Navy and Marine Corps.
