Book excerpt: Identifying the factors affecting job satisfaction is an important issue for organizational researchers and managers. A large volume of research has identified two major groups of variables as important determinants of satisfaction. These groups are the demographic characteristics of the employee and the characteristics of the work environment. Building on this theoretical basis, this thesis examined the determinants of job satisfaction among United States Air Force security police. The security police career field provided a unique source of data. Until 1997, the career field was divided into two primary groups of employees, law enforcement specialists and security specialists. While the demographic characteristics of the two groups were very similar, the daily work environment was markedly different. This provided an opportunity to separate the effects of demographic and work environment variables as determinants of job satisfaction. The original theoretical model examined only the direct effects of the independent variables. While the overall explanatory power of this model was excellent, many of the key variables had little or no direct effect on job satisfaction. This led to a revision of the theoretical model that allowed for the indirect effects of the independent variables, as mediated by the intermediate variables. Using this revised model, it became apparent that the demographic variables and the assigned Air Force Specialty Code primarily had indirect effects on job satisfaction, while the perceived characteristics of the work environment had direct effects on job satisfaction.

Book excerpt: This study concluded that characteristics of the work environment had the greatest direct effect on the levels of job satisfaction. "Feedback from the work itself" was the single most important factor in "satisfaction with work." "Time in service," "autonomy" and "feedback from the work itself" were statistically significant in the prediction of "satisfaction with work" while "rank" had an indirect effect on job satisfaction.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes and compares job satisfaction and career intent between 1975 and 1977 for Security Police personnel. The sources of the data are 564 respondents from the 1975 and 1977 USAF Quality of Air Force Life Surveys. The analysis techniques included the Automatic Interaction Detection (AID) algorithm, t-Test of Significance, Stepwise Linear Regression, and Principal Component Analysis. A detailed analysis was made of the entire population and for personnel with less than ten years service. The primary conclusion from the analysis is that, for Security Police personnel, the overall level of job satisfaction and expression of career intent are essentially unchanged between 1975 and 1977. Additional conclusions drawn are that SP personnel are better qualified and more satisfied with many factors of their jobs, but are less satisfied with the Economic and Equity aspects of their Air Force lives. It is suggested that the lack of significant change in job satisfaction and career intent was caused by the gains on the job being offset by the perceived losses in other facets of Air Force life.
Download or read book Job Satisfaction for Male and Female U S Air Force Officers written by Espen Amundsen and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigated the relationship between job satisfaction and gender by examining factors considered to be determinants of job satisfaction among junior U.S. Air Force officers. The data used in this research were from the 1985 DoD Survey of Officers and Enlisted Personnel. Bivariate analysis, factor analysis and regression analysis were performed to determine the effect of gender on those factors considered to be determinants of job satisfaction. No difference in level of job satisfaction was found between male and female officers, but differences were found in the variables that explained job satisfaction for male and female officers. An understanding of job satisfaction and the relationship of gender to the factors that determine officers' job satisfaction may give military policymakers and leaders greater opportunities to affect job satisfaction and thereby affect job performance and career intention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes job satisfaction in the United States Air Force as reported by 10,996 respondents to a survey conducted by the Air Force Management Improvement Group (AFMIG) in June of 1975. The primary technique used is the Automatic Interaction Detection algorithm (AID). AID is a computerized, sequential analysis of variance technique which attempts to isolate homogenous groups within a larger population. A stepwise linear regression technique is also used, and, in addition, the population is divided and examined on the basis of selected demographic variables such as grade, command, years in service, education, race, sex, and Air Force Specialty Code. A detailed analysis is made of the entire population and comparisons are made between officer and enlisted groups and between rated and non-rated officers. AID is also used in an attempt to relate career intent to job satisfaction.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this research were to rank job factors in order of impact on USAF Weapons Systems Security Specialist job satisfaction and career intent, and to analyze trends in WSS job satisfaction and career intent. WSS responses to the 1975 and 1977 Quality of Air Force Life surveys and to a suppplemental survey formed the data base. Twelve job factors from the QOAFL surveys were analyzed; the supplemental survey included eighteen job factors. Pearson correlation, factor analysis, multiple regression, analysis of variance, and the T-test of means were used to analyze the data. Results indicate job challenge has the most impact on WSS job satisfaction, while equity has greatest impact on career intent. WSS job satisfaction, career intent, and satisfaction with recognition, job freedom, prestige, and pay significantly decreased from 1977 to 1981; satisfaction with leadership significantly increased from 1975 to 1981.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the Air Force merger of Law Enforcement personnel, Security Police personnel, and Combat Arms Training and Maintenance personnel into the Air Force Security Forces Career Field; and job retention was investigated among 209 Air Force Security Forces Enlisted Personnel at five different Air Force bases (Columbus Air Force Base (AFB), MS, Keesler AFB, MS, Eglin AFB, FL, Hurlburt Field Air Base, FL, and Moody AFB, GA). Participants completed a 91-item survey designed to measure merger satisfaction, career and job satisfaction, life satisfaction, job involvement, job stress, turnover intentions and demographic data. The results showed only four items significantly related to job retention. In a simple regression analysis, satisfaction with the merger was significantly associated with retention but was not the best predictor. Career satisfaction was also a significant predictor of job retention and a stronger one. Merger satisfaction was also significantly related to career satisfaction. In a simple multiple regression analysis, however, merger satisfaction was not significantly related to retention. The results in this population of Air Force Personnel indicated that retention was significantly related to whether the major satisfaction in one's life came from the job, the level of satisfaction with the career field, and the amount of time off from work.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the determinants of job satisfaction for United States Air Force civilian employees as reported by 16,751 respondents to a survey conducted by the Air Force Management Improvement Group (AFMIG) in the summer of 1975. The primary technique used is the Monitored Automatic Interaction Detection Multivariate (MAID-M) program. MAID-M is a computerized program which selects and builds up the smallest number of predictors which can explain the largest proportion of variance of the criterion variable. Analyses are made of the relationships between three categories of predictor variables and job satisfaction. The three categories of predictor variables are demographic characteristics, Air Force Quality of Life indicators and job related factors. The most important predictor variables found in each category are then combined and analyzed as predictors of civilian employee job satisfaction. The primary conclusion from the analysis is that the major determinants of job satisfaction for Air Force civilian employees are job related factors. The most significant factors found were as follows: job challenge, job freedom, satisfaction with personal growth; and job preparation for greater responsibility. (Author).
Download or read book A study of the job satisfaction of professional Air Force social work officers written by Daniel William Jablonski and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The job satisfaction levels of 149 Air Force Social Work Officers were studied by using the Professional Satisfaction Inventory originally developed by Jayaratne and Chess (1982) to study the job satisfaction and job stress of a sample of members of the National Association of Social Workers. The social work officers were found to be generally satisfied with their job roles in the Air Force. Hypotheses dealing with the relationships between professional isolation, organizational size, and marital status and job satisfaction were not confirmed and the null hypotheses were not rejected. Hypotheses dealing with relationships between the geographical location of the assignment, role conflict, gender, and military rank and job satisfaction were confirmed and the null hypotheses rejected. Significant differences were found between the job satisfaction scores of male and female social work officers with the males reporting higher satisfaction scores. Male social work officers also had higher scores on job challenge than did their female counterparts. Regression analysis revealed that job challenge, job comfort, and the package of financial rewards were significant predictors of overall job satisfaction for this sample.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objectives of this research were to gain insights into the personal value systems and job satisfactions of Air Force officers. Prior to analyzing data, the paper discusses the role of values in human behavior and outlines the major job satisfaction theories currently in the literature. Using an adaptation of England's methodology the primary orientations (POR) of 1321 officers, as well as the behavioral relevance of 77 personal values (PV) concepts were determined. A modification of Hoppock's general job satisfaction blank was used to measure the satisfactions of the officers. Through tests of means and analysis of distributions, the satisfactions of the various officer subgroups were then compared.
