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. Keywords: Military personnel, Retention.

Book excerpt: A logit model was applied to estimate the effect of selective reenlistment bonuses (SRBs) on the retention rates of Army Soldiers. The model was estimated separately by occupational group and by first (zone A), second (zone B) and third term (zone C) reenlistment decisions. An "annualized cost of leaving" (ACOL) variable was constructed to estimate the net financial returns to reenlisting in the Army compared to leaving for the civilian sector. The model was estimated using data on actual reenlistments from the period FYl99O tlirough FY2OOO. The effects of SRBs on reenlistments at Zones A, B, and C were estimated at three levels of occupational aggregation-all Army, CMF, and MOS. After out-of-sample testing, we re-specified and re-estimated the model. In general, the results for Zone A at all levels of occupational aggregation indicate that reenlistment bonuses have a positive and statistically significant effect on Zone A reenlistments. The magnitude of the effect varied by occupation, but a one-level increase in SRB at Zone A typically increases the reenlistment rate by three to seven percentage points, depending upon the occupation. The results for Zone B are also solid at both the CMF and MOS levels. Results for Zone C, where reenlistment rates are typically very high, were reasonably solid but not as good as the Zone A and B results. We were unable to obtain positive, statistically significant ACOL parameter estimates for a small number of occupation groups. Statistically significant effects for demographic control variables and labor market conditions were also obtained.
Book Synopsis Models of the First-term Reenlistment Decision by : Winston Chow
Download or read book Models of the First-term Reenlistment Decision written by Winston Chow and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 80 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Estimating Dynamic Models of Quit Behavior: The Case of Military Reenlistment by : Thomas Dayka
Download or read book Estimating Dynamic Models of Quit Behavior: The Case of Military Reenlistment written by Thomas Dayka and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We estimate the effect of financial incentives for reenlistment on military retention rates using a stochastic dynamic programming model. We show that the computational burden of the model is relatively low even when estimated on panel data with unobserved heterogeneity. The estimates of the model show strong effects of military compensation, especially of retirement pay, on retention rates. We also compare our model with simpler-to-compute models and find that all give approximately the same fit but that our dynamic programming model gives more plausible predictions of policy measures that affect military and civilian compensation at future dates. We use our model to simulate the effect of recent changes by the military aimed at reducing reenlistment rates.

Book Synopsis Serving Away from Home by : James R. Hosek
Download or read book Serving Away from Home written by James R. Hosek and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2002 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does deployment affect reenlistment? The authors look at this particular issue in wake of the high rate of military deployment throughout the 1990s and with the prospect that deployment will rise even more in the coming years. The research finds that reenlistment was higher among members who deployed compared with those who did not. The analysis suggests that past deployment influences current reenlistment behavior because it enables members to learn about their preferences for deployment.
Book Synopsis Reenlistment Behavior of First and Second Term Marine Corps Enlisted Personnel by : Thomas A. Finn
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 0 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).

Book excerpt: It occasionally happens in economic analyses that the correctly specified model contains variables for which no observed data have been collected. When the data in a linear regression model are cross-sectional it is possible, under certain conditions on the nature of the variables, to estimate the independent effects of a specific set of explanatory variables on the dependent variable. A procedure for doing this is presented. A commonly used model of reenlistment behavior, for which the data base is cross-sectional, satisfies the requisite conditions. This permits the estimation of the independent effect of the military wage on reenlistment rate, as an illustration of the proposed procedure. (Author).

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.

Book Synopsis Assessing Knowledge of Retirement Behavior by : Panel on Retirement Income Modeling
Download or read book Assessing Knowledge of Retirement Behavior written by Panel on Retirement Income Modeling and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-08-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together in one volume what researchers have learned about workers, employers, and retirees that is important for formulating retirement income policies. As the U.S. population ages, there is increasing uncertainty about the solvency of the Social Security and Medicare systems and the adequacy of private pensions to provide for people's retirement needs. The volume covers such critical behaviors as workers' decisions to retire, people's choices of saving over consumption, and employers' decisions about hiring older workers and providing pension and health care benefits. Also covered are trends in mortality, health status, and health care costs that are key to projecting the likely costs and effects of alternative retirement income security policies and a strategy for combining data and research knowledge into a policy modeling framework.

Book Synopsis Impact of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) on Soldier Retention and Performance by : Paul J. Sticha
Download or read book Impact of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) on Soldier Retention and Performance written by Paul J. Sticha and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) considered the following programs: (a) Tuition Assistance (TA); (b) Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST; (c) Military Occupational Specialty Improvement Training (MOSIT); (d) Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Leader Skill Enhancement Courses; and (e) the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT). The assessment of the effectiveness of these programs is based on their ability to enhance soldier performance and increase the prospects of promotion, as well as to reduce attrition and increase reenlistment. The evaluation data came from a longitudinal administrative database that tracked a three-year accession cohort over a six-year period and an NCO database including self-reported participation in ACES programs, promotion information, and observed performance ratings. The analysis was designed to separate effects of participant characteristics from the effects of the program, and to control for differences in the opportunity and propensity to participate in ACES. Participation in TA and FAST were associated with an increase in the probability of first term reenlistment FAST participation was also associated with lower first-term attrition. Participation in several ACES programs showed positive effects on measures of performance and promotion potential.
