An Exploratory Study of Enlistment Incentives among Junior College Students

Abstract

A questionnaire designed to assess reaction to possible enlistment incentives was administered to 100 junior college students. A factor-analysis of the measure indicated the importance both of traditional tangible incentives and of the 'newer' incentives of control over one's work life. The data also indicated that: low socio-economic individuals were less attracted to the Navy overall than those from middle-or-higher levels, and the traditional incentives were more important for the low socio-economic respondents while the newer incentives were more important for the higher level individuals.
