Download or read book The Influence of Demographics and Navy Career Experiences on the Performance of Junior Surface Naval Officers written by A. David Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the relationship between pre-commissioning and post-commissioning characteristics and junior surface naval officer performance, retention, and promotion. The study uses data from the Officer Promotion History Files, (1981-1995). Data on 7,038 officers entering the Navy from 1976 to 1986 are analyzed. Results indicate that Naval Academy graduates, business majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and non-minority officers are more likely to achieve Surface Warfare qualification and receive top fitness report scores. NESEP and NROTC graduates, math majors, officers with CRUDES experience and top fitness reports, and minorities officers are more likely to stay in the Navy to the O4 promotion board. Academy graduates, engineering majors, officers with CRUDES experience, and officers with top fitness reports are more likely to promote to Lieutenant Commander. No significant difference is observed between minority and non-minority O4 promotion probabilities after pre-commissioning and post-commissioning factors are controlled. However, the effects of CRUDES experience, warfare qualification, and fitness report scores may lead to indirect effects which lead to observed performance and promotion rate differences between race/ethnic groups.

Book excerpt: This thesis utilizes Bureau of Naval Personnel data to examine the determinants of Surface Warfare Officer retention through the department head decision point in Year Groups 1993-1997. The retention model includes demographic and background variables in order to isolate the effects of variables that serve as proxies for job satisfaction: initial homeport, initial ship type, and initial shipboard department. Logit modeling illustrates that the following characteristics improve an officer2s chance of remaining in the Surface Navy: male, married or divorced with children, prior enlisted, Officer Candidate School officer, biological sciences major, Year Group 1996, initial homeport of Norfolk or Little Creek, and transferred from a non-cruiser/destroyer (CRUDES) ship to a CRUDES ship during the division officer tours. Conversely, officers with these characteristics are least likely to continue their careers in the Surface Navy: female, single without children, not prior enlisted, Naval Academy or Reserve Officer Training Corps graduate, business or economics major, Year Group 1993 or 1994, initial homeport in the Pacific Northwest, and no CRUDES experience. The thesis recommends that the Navy should examine the retention issue not only in monetary terms but also with emphasis on the influence an officer2s fleet experiences have on his or her stay/leave decision.

This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research analyzes the United States Naval Academy's (USNA) admissions and professional development processes and their impact on the career development of its graduates in the Unrestricted Line (URL) communities. Three hypotheses are advanced to explain the high level of fleet performance and retention of USNA graduates: selectivity of applicants; Navy-specific human capital investment; and institutional favoritism. Non-linear LOGIT regression models for the USNA Classes of 1980 through 1985 are developed to analyze the influence of the hypothesed factors on the probability of a midshipman: (a) graduating from the USNA, and (b) developing into a career officer. Both the USNA's composite "whole-person" and individual selection criteria play a significant role in the probability of graduation. Non-scholastic affective selection criteria, and both affective military performance and Navy-specific cognitive skill development at the US NA, are positively associated with the development of career officers. Additionally, several key predictors of career potential are identified. A paradigm shift in perspective from the current short-term context to a life-cycle career context is recommended in the "whole- person" selection and development of USNA midshipmen..

Download or read book An Analysis of Surface Warfare Officer Measures of Effectiveness as Related to Commissioning Source Undergraduate Education and Navy Training written by Joseph F. Nolan and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops multivariate models to estimate the determinants of three measures of effectiveness for surface warfare officers (SWO): retention, promotion, and early professional qualifications. Using data from the Navy Officer Master File, Navy Officer Loss File, and Navy Personnel Research and Development Center's Traintrack System File, logit regression equations are employed to estimate the probability of SWO retention between the Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander selection boards (1981 90), the probability of promotion to Lieutenant Commander (1985-90), and the probability of receiving early professional qualifications by the time of the Lieutenant selection boards (1981-85). The probabilities are modeled as a function of background factors that represent personal demographics, undergraduate education, Navy experience, and Navy training. The findings reveal that a large portion of the variation in SWO measures of effectiveness reflect differences in human capital acquired via precommissioning education or via Navy training. Performance differences by commissioning source and college selectivity of undergraduate education are specifically highlighted. Based upon the research results, it is recommended that a cost-benefit analysis be conducted to determine the optimal officer accession source mix.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The semi-annual Navy Personnel Survey 67-1 was conducted to collect attitudes and opinions regarding various aspects of naval service directly from naval personnel. Information included here is timely and can be useful, not only as a reference tool for management, but as supporting information for proposed legislation or in answer to inquires. Topic areas included in this report are: service experiences and background; career motivation; the enlisted performance evaluation system; voluntary education programs and reenlistment incentives; uniform preference; and a special study of unrestricted line officers. Basic statistical information by pay grade and designator/or rating groups derived from the responses of the world-wide sample of 5.7% of male officers and 2.6% of male enlisted personnel, are furnished. Since the sample pay grade distribution agrees closely with the population distribution with regard to pay grade, the responses can be utilized with reasonable assurance to reflect the actual population.

Download or read book Predicting Performance written by Woo Young Saw and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis estimates the determinants of promotion probability to Lieutenant Commander over the period 1985-1990 for Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) and Submarine Officers (SOs). Using data from the Naval Officer Promotion History Data Files, the analysis first examines the frequency distribution of the explanatory variables, then employs a log it regression analysis. The probabilities of-promotion are modeled as a function of background factors, which include personal demographics, undergraduate education, and Navy experience. The findings reveal that having a high GPA, a graduate education, more than 3 additional qualification designators (AQDs), and having been screened for command each have a positive effect on promotion for SWOs and are statistically significant. By contrast, being an ROTC graduate, being older, and having a low GPA each have a negative effect on probability of promotion and are statistically significant in the SWO model. In the SO model, having a high GPA, a graduate education, more than 3 AQDs, and a technical undergraduate major are positively significant. Based on the results, it is recommended that the Republic of Korea focus its recruiting efforts on highly qualified officer candidates if it can be demonstrated that the results of this analysis apply to Korea.

Download or read book The Impact of Demographics and Military Factors Affecting Retention Rates of Female and Male Officers in the Surface Warfare and Restricted Line Communities written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes factors that affect the retention of male and female officers, with specific emphasis on the surface warfare and restricted line communities. Specifically, the research examines whether family influence, dependent status, accession source, and undergraduate major are differentially related to retention by gender and community. The study evaluates officers from date of commissioning to the 10-year point in an effort to derive factors related to retention after reaching a major career milestone. A logistic regression model is used as the analytic strategy for the study. Descriptive statistics on independent and dependent variables are run, as appropriate, to show retention rates and outcomes from six cohorts while controlling for missing data, missing cases, and personnel who died prior to the 10-year point. The data set used in this study included officers who were commissioned in the military between 1988 and 1993. Only the Surface Warfare (nuclear and conventional), and Restricted Line (cryptology, intelligence, oceanography, and public affairs) officer communities were examined. The original data set of 84 variables and 9,867 cases was condensed to 4 categories of variables (i.e., demographics factors, military factors, gender and retention), comprising 10 major groups (i.e., age, ethnicity, education major, family status (married/children), commissioning source, prior enlisted, Community, Community Change (SWO lateral to RL), gender, and 10-year retention, yes or no), yielding 24 variables and 5,411 cases. The findings of this study will show whether the retention of female and male officers is related to the same predictors. It should provide data to policy makers and Navy personnel to better predict, control, and maintain retention rates.
