Book Synopsis Information Warfare Officer Retention by : Robert A. Linn
Download or read book Information Warfare Officer Retention written by Robert A. Linn and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis uses the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA) in an attempt to provide both monetary and nonmonetary solutions to the problem of low retention rates among Naval Information Warfare Officers (IWOs) in pay grades O-4 and O-5. An initial Functional Area Analysis (FAA) looks at Critical Skills Retention Bonuses (CSRBs), military retention factors, and IW community manning data. A Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) looks into historical IW retention issues, and compares the pay of an IW officer to that of a civilian in an equivalent job. Retention issues are found by analyzing IW community-specific data from Defense Management Data Center (DMDC) from 1997 through 2007. Analysis shows that, overall, historical retention is low at both O-4 and O-5, and that prior enlisted status, rank, and source of commission all play a role in this poor retention rate. A Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA) recommends a monetary CSRB and nonmonetary solutions. To evaluate the effectiveness of these solutions, an IW retention survey was administered to Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) IWOs. This survey shows that, in addition to the monetary and nonmonetary solutions found in the FSA, the IW community might be able to improve retention further by focusing on improving IW leadership and community direction.
Book Synopsis Officer Career Development by : Regina L. Burch
Download or read book Officer Career Development written by Regina L. Burch and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factors that contribute to surface warfare officer in the Navy were investigated. Information was obtained from a sample of 373 stayers and 52 leavers selected from a larger sample of 3,059 surface warfare officers who responded to a survey of officer career development in 1986. An hypothesized model of surface warfare officer retention, based on Steers and Mowday's model of employee turnover (1981), was tested using path analyses. The results of the analyses supported several of the major linkages contained in the model. In line with the model, stated career intent had the strongest influence on officer retention. Additionally, search for alternatives had a direct impact on retention. Level of organizational commitment, along with spousal support and tenure, had a direct influence on career intent. The direct links from spousal support, esteem, assignment acceptability, and benefits to organizational commitment were also supported. Overall, the present study contributes to our understanding of the turnover process within a military setting and provides avenues for future research.

Book Synopsis A Study of Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention by : Jimmy Wayne Parker
Download or read book A Study of Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention written by Jimmy Wayne Parker and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retention of naval officers is often assumed to be independent of the economic circumstances of the individual. This study makes use of classical, normal linear least squares regression techniques and recent surface warfare officer retention data in an attempt to determine whether the retention of lieutenants can be related to a set of economic control variables. In the pursuit of that goal, several previously developed econometric models which describe first-term enlisted retention are modified for use on officer data and compared for goodness of fit.

Book Synopsis Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention: Background and First Sea Tour Factors as Predictors of Continuance Beyond Obligated Services by : Thomas M. Cook
Download or read book Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention: Background and First Sea Tour Factors as Predictors of Continuance Beyond Obligated Services written by Thomas M. Cook and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the fifth in a series that addresses factors that affect the early career/professional development and retention of junior surface warfare officers (SWOs). The sample consisted of 128 junior SWOs commissioned during 1974-75 who had responded to a career development questionnaire in early 1979. Of these, 58 (45%) had left service at the end of obligation and 70 (55%) remained on active duty (as of September 1981). Background and first sea tour factors were used to predict career intent and continuance. Results showed that career intent was substantially associated with a combination of first sea tour work experiences and percentages. Career intent, in turn, was found to account for substantial variance (R square = .25) in the continuance criterion. Results strongly supported the hypothesis that continuance decisions are the product of early navy work experiences (e.g., opportunities, assignment patterns, etc.). Results are discussed with attention to leadership, assignment, and policy implications.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Effect of Commissioning Source on the Retention and Promotion of Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) in the U.S. Navy by : Hasan Çelik

This book was released on 2011 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the effect of commissioning programs on career progression for Navy surface warfare officers (SWOs). This study specifies and estimates three multivariate regression models to analyze the relationship between commissioning source and officer performance using retention and promotion to O-4 as performance measures. As a measure of retention, we used retention after expiration of the initial minimum service requirement. The data was acquired from Officer Master File (OMF) via the Navy Econometric Modeling (NEM) online data system. The file contained 10,295 observations. All observations were surface warfare officers who were before the promotion board between fiscal years 1994 through 2004. The data contained information about demographics, professional and educational background, and separation and promotion information for officers. The analysis of all three multivariate regression models indicates that commissioning source is a significant determinant of retention and promotion for the SWO community. Contrary to the initial assumption, while OCS graduates have the highest probability of staying in the SW community, USNA graduates have the lowest probability. Although USNA graduates were initially expected to have higher promotion rates, the results suggest that they are less likely to promote to the grade of O-4 than officers commissioned through the NROTC-contract program. However, USNA graduates have a higher probability of promotion than officers from OCS, the NROTC scholarship program, and from "other sources."
Book Synopsis A Predictive Model of Surface Warfare Officer Retention by : Gregory D. Gjurich
Download or read book A Predictive Model of Surface Warfare Officer Retention written by Gregory D. Gjurich and published by . This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Junior Surface Warfare Officer retention is in a crisis. The Surface Warfare Officer community anticipates an inability to fill Department Head billets due to the number of junior Surface Warfare Officers leaving military service. The goal of this study was to predict Surface Warfare Officer retention levels through the validation of a conceptual model from the Surface Warfare Community Manager's office using logistic regression and Classification and Regression Tree analysis. This study utilized data from the Officer Master File and the results from a questionnaire administered to active duty Surface Warfare Officers. Manpower analysts can use this model to predict whether certain groups of officers, with a given set of characteristics, are more likely to remain in military service.
Book Synopsis Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention; Spouses' Influence on Career Decisions by :
Download or read book Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention; Spouses' Influence on Career Decisions written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information obtained from a questionnaire to which 312 male surface warfare junior Officers (JOs) responded was used to determine how JOs felt their wives influenced their intent to pursue a Navy career, and how their wives felt about separations, relocations, pay, and benefits of Navy life. Officers, in general, felt their wives were supportive of their Navy careers. Separation was considered the worst aspect of Navy life and had the most pronounced influence against a Navy career. Wives who were most supportive of a Navy career were most socially and emotionally involved in the career. Wives who worked outside the home were less supportive of a Navy career than were those who worked within the home. Wives who were teachers or Navy officers found relations more difficult to accommodate and were more reluctant for their husbands to remain in the Navy than were wives in other types of jobs. Few Navy wives attended detailer field trip meetings, but those who did were more supportive of a Navy career than those who did not. The assistance of superior officers in helping wives adjust to new duty stations was rated most helpful, and Navy Family Services least helpful, indicating that COs and XOs should recognize their influence on officer retention, and that officers and their wives should be educated on the value and use of Navy Family Services to alleviate stresses of relocation and separation.
Book Synopsis Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention: Early Career Development Factors by : Thomas M. Cook
Download or read book Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention: Early Career Development Factors written by Thomas M. Cook and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation, the third in a series based on data collected from a sample of junior surface warface officers (SWOs) during 1978-79, addressed factors that affect their early career/professional development and the relationships between developmental progress, officer performance, and career intent. Results indicated that timely completion of career essential qualifications was not related to background factors such as commissioning source, academic class rank, or military class rank, but it was related to attendance at the Surface Warfare Officer School (SWOS)-Basic, shipboard assignment variation, and individual perceptions of the work environment during the initial sea tour. Also, professional development progress was positively related to career intent and officer performance, as indicated by fitness reports. Findings are discussed with attention to policy/leadership implications.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface warfare community has missed its retention goals since FY76 and projections suggest that this trend will continue. To identify factors related to retention of surface warfare junior officers (JOs), previous studies on retention were reviewed and a sample of JOs at the Naval Postgraduate School was interviewed. Information obtained was used to develop a research plan designed to address critical areas affecting retention. A survey questionnaire covering the research questions to be addressed by the research plan was developed and pretested. Future reports will describe results obtained by analysis of questionnaire data. (Author).

Book Synopsis Strengthening U.S. Air Force Human Capital Management by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Strengthening U.S. Air Force Human Capital Management written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.
Book Synopsis The Dual-Career Household and Its Effects on Surface Warfare Officer Career Intent and Career Satisfaction by : William D Valentine (Jr)
Download or read book The Dual-Career Household and Its Effects on Surface Warfare Officer Career Intent and Career Satisfaction written by William D Valentine (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes data from a survey of the Surface Warfare Officer community. The questionnaire was initiated by Navy Personnel Research and Development Center (NPRDC) in the summer of 1981. This thesis enhances the understanding of the effects of dual-careers and related family issues on surface warfare officer retention. Six theoretical measures were identified (household career status, family responsibility, grade, type duty, family disruptions, and family decision processor), which were expected to explain the variance across career intent and career satisfaction. The study defined a dual-career family as a family in which husband and wife pursue careers that (a) both have professional-administrative-technical (PAT) jobs and (b) the relative proportion between the two incomes is between 60-40 and 50-50.
Book Synopsis Base Force Retention Rate (BFR): An Improved Measure of Navy Officer Retention by : Edward S. Bres
Download or read book Base Force Retention Rate (BFR): An Improved Measure of Navy Officer Retention written by Edward S. Bres and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retention rate (RR) is a measure currently used by officers of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Manpower, Personnel, and Training) (OP-01) to assess the Navy's ability to build and maintain a career force of officers. This rate employs the minimum service requirement (MSR) as a point of reference. However, since the MSR frequently does not reflect an officer's true obligation, the RR tends to be overstated. As a result, the maintainability of the career force is overstated. This report describes the base force retention rate (BFR), an alternative to the RR. The BFR does not rely on MSR-based computation but, rather, is the proportion of officers between 5 and 10 years of service who resign their commission annually. The report includes illustrations of the BFR's usefulness in identifying changes or trends in an officer community's retention behavior--trends that the conventional RR might not reveal or might only uncover much later than would the BFR.

Book Synopsis Threatcasting by : Brian David Johnson
Download or read book Threatcasting written by Brian David Johnson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impending technological advances will widen an adversary’s attack plane over the next decade. Visualizing what the future will hold, and what new threat vectors could emerge, is a task that traditional planning mechanisms struggle to accomplish given the wide range of potential issues. Understanding and preparing for the future operating environment is the basis of an analytical method known as Threatcasting. It is a method that gives researchers a structured way to envision and plan for risks ten years in the future. Threatcasting uses input from social science, technical research, cultural history, economics, trends, expert interviews, and even a little science fiction to recognize future threats and design potential futures. During this human-centric process, participants brainstorm what actions can be taken to identify, track, disrupt, mitigate, and recover from the possible threats. Specifically, groups explore how to transform the future they desire into reality while avoiding an undesired future. The Threatcasting method also exposes what events could happen that indicate the progression toward an increasingly possible threat landscape. This book begins with an overview of the Threatcasting method with examples and case studies to enhance the academic foundation. Along with end-of-chapter exercises to enhance the reader’s understanding of the concepts, there is also a full project where the reader can conduct a mock Threatcasting on the topic of “the next biological public health crisis.” The second half of the book is designed as a practitioner’s handbook. It has three separate chapters (based on the general size of the Threatcasting group) that walk the reader through how to apply the knowledge from Part I to conduct an actual Threatcasting activity. This book will be useful for a wide audience (from student to practitioner) and will hopefully promote new dialogues across communities and novel developments in the area.

Download or read book An Assessment of U.S. Navy Junior Officer Retention from 1998-2000 written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the primary causes of U.S. Navy retention problems with its junior officers from 1998 to 2000. An analysis of data on operational tempo and retention was conducted which revealed no direct correlation between increased optempo and decreased retention. The study focuses on the four sea-going officer communities, Surface Warfare Officers, Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, and Submariners. After the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the Department of Defense began a downsizing effort across all services. From 1990 to 1997, the Navy's officer corps shrank from 77,000 to 53,000 officers as a result of Department of Defense downsizing mandates At the time, Navy leaders were not concerned with retention because they had to meet their new end strength goals, but in 1997, officer manning dropped to dangerous levels, The Navy realized that it had a serious retention problem; Too many junior officers were getting out, Navy leaders had to do something to stem the exodus, or the Navy would be in serious jeopardy of not being able to man its ships, aircraft, and submarines at the mid-grade officer, department head level. Without these officers to fill the critical sea-going billets, the Navy could find that it may not be able to fulfill its commitments around the world. If increased optempo was not causing the Navy's junior officers to get out, what was behind their decisions to leave? In the course of research, several surveys and interviews were uncovered which revealed a significant number of reasons that officer retention suffered in the Navy. From a comparison of these surveys and interviews, the five most common reasons junior officers stated for leaving the Navy was determined. Further study revealed that the Navy is aware of these reasons and is actively responding to keep positively address them to retain its junior officers.
Book Synopsis Naval Officer Retention in an All Volunteer Force Environment: Job Proficiency and Organizational Climate by : Will E. Lassiter
Download or read book Naval Officer Retention in an All Volunteer Force Environment: Job Proficiency and Organizational Climate written by Will E. Lassiter and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial technical report documents the completion of Phase 1 of investigation to assess the effect and impact of unit organizational climate and job performance on officer retention at the expiration of obligated service. A stratified, random sample (N=563) was drawn from officers reaching their expiration of obligated service point (MSRI) in the surface, submarine and aviation (pilot) warfare communities. A forty question survey instrument was used to measure perceptions of organizational climate. An average of data from the three latest officer fitness reports was used to measure officer proficiency. The preliminary results of the study were obtained by an analysis of 'stayers' only.
