Need Satisfaction Among Junior Enlisted Men and Junior Officers: Use of an Existence, Relatedness, and Growth Conceptual System

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify the fundamental psychological needs of junior enlisted and junior officer personnel, to determine whether these needs are being satisfied by the Navy, and, based on this latter analysis, to reveal which aspects of Navy life still need to be improved. An existence, relatedness, and growth need satisfaction model was used to classify aspects of Navy life. Field questionnaires were used to collect data from first and second enlistees and officers in their first obligation in Norfolk and San Diego. A supplementary mail sample was employed also for the officer population. Recommendations are made concerning target areas for future policy actions both with respect to junior enlisted men and junior officers.
