Book Description
The purposes of this meeting, cosponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Office of Naval Research, were: (1) to review what is known about attrition in the Services-its magnitude, current trends and costs, and how it is managed; (2) to learn about relevant research-both inside and out of the DOD-that deals with attrition; and (3) to identify gaps in our knowledge that could be addressed by new R and D. Among the topics discussed in this volume are: First-Term Enlisted Attrition Policies and Practices; The Absorption and Integration of Newcomers; Organizational Commitment and Personnel Attrition; Post High-School Drop-Outs (And Stayers); Individual, Organizational, and Environmental Influences on Turnover; A Longitudinal Study of Enlisted Personnel Attrition in the U.S. Marine Corps; Job Changing Behavior of Young Men in the Civilian Labor Market; Minimizing Adjustment Problems and Attrition Rates of Minority Military First-Term Enlisted Men; A Model to Analyze the Cost Impact of First-Term Attrition in the Navy and Marine Corps; and Quality of Marines-- Test scores, personal data, and performance.

Book Description
During April 4-7, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Office of Naval Research co-sponsored a Conference on First Term Enlisted Attrition. The purposes of the meeting were: (a) to review what is known about attrition in the Services--its magnitude, current trends and costs, and how it is managed; (b) to learn about relevant research--both inside and out of the DoD--that deals with attrition; and (c) to identify gaps in our knowledge that could be addressed by new R and D. Participants in the conference included: uniformed representatives of each of the Services; civilian scientists and research managers from the main DoD personnel and manpower laboratories; academic scientists; and contractors currently working on attrition-related matters. The meeting consisted of five types of sessions: (a) a keynote address; (b) general sessions in which technical papers were presented; (c) small workshop meetings providing the opportunity for informal discussion; (d) a roundtable discussion by flag officers; and (e) a final session in two parts: comments by a half-dozen discussant-critics and papers by a half-dozen discussant-critics and papers by representatives of the two principal sponsors within OSD, i.e., the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and the Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering.

Military Attrition
Author: Carol R. Schuster
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 9780788177323
Category : Military discharge
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
25,000 enlisted personnel are being separated from the services in their first 6 months, during or shortly after they complete basic training. This report analyzes historical attrition rates for enlisted personnel who serve at least 6 months, but leave military service before completing their first contract terms. It determines (1) the rate and timing of attrition during enlistees' first terms; (2) the extent of DoD's investment in recruiting and training first-term enlistees; (3) reasons for first-term attrition after training; (4) servicemembers' perceptions of quality-of-life factors that contribute to attrition; and (5) actions the services are taking to reduce enlistees' attrition.

Organizational and Cultural Causes of Army First-Term Attrition
Author: James V. Marrone
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781977406408
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The U.S. Army invests significant resources in recruiting, training, and preparing new soldiers. When a soldier does not complete a full contract term, the Army views this as a net loss. The goal of the research summarized in this report is to determine whether organizational factors matter for producing attrition and to generate hypotheses regarding the mechanisms by which organizational factors generate attrition. The authors made use of the random assignment of soldiers to their first battalion to determine whether the "luck of the draw"-the battalion to which the soldier is assigned and the senior noncommissioned officer (NCO) at that battalion-is directly linked to the observed variation across assignments in eventual first-term outcomes. The authors complemented that analysis with interviews exploring the factors that could be driving differences across units, such as leadership and command culture, availability of soldier supports, management of deployment and training cycles, and installation amenities. The quantitative part of the report shows that organizational factors affect attrition above and beyond the effects of soldier characteristics. The qualitative part highlights potential pathways through which battalion-level characteristics might manifest in differential attrition outcomes. Rather than conceptualizing attrition as a soldier being "fired" for poor performance, this report describes attrition as a process in which leadership may fail to provide needed interventions or to perpetuate a culture in which soldiers want to and are able to remain in service. The authors identify opportunities to address the factors under the Army's control that are associated with attrition. Book jacket.
