PRELIMINARY STUDY OF MOTIVATION AND INCENTIVES IN BASIC COMBAT TRAINING.
Abstract
In an effort to get a useful measure of subjective reward values for Basic Combat Training personnel, 43 possible incentives were rated by two groups of trainees on a 7-point scale, from most attractive to least attractive. Nineteen incentives were identified as being reliable and of low variability. Of these, the 10 most attractive incentives were categorized into one of three classes: Recognition (Peer and/or Social), Material Reward, or Autonomy (Freedom). It was concluded that the 10 specific incentives identified and the categories of Recognition and Autonomy might be controlled and varied to measure the effectiveness of variations in BCT. (Author)
