Analysis of 0-5 Promotion and Retention for Naval URL Officers

Abstract

The U.S. Navy is currently considering a transformation of its personnel performance evaluation system to ensure retention and promotion processes that are less subjective and contribute to a more efficient personnel management system. In this thesis, using an integrated quantitative and qualitative approach, we examine the process and criteria used by the U.S. Navy to select officers from the unrestricted line (URL) for O-5 promotion. We find that the Navy lags in using personality traits and measures of emotional intelligence metrics in its leadership selection and promotion processes, metrics that are considered increasingly important in selecting leaders in the civilian sector. We use historical personnel records to estimate predictive O-5 promotion models in the URL community.
