A Study of the Personal Value Systems and Job Satisfactions of United States Air Force Officers.
Abstract
The primary objectives of this research were to gain insights into the personal value systems and job satisfactions of Air Force officers. Prior to analyzing data, the paper discusses the role of values in human behavior and outlines the major job satisfaction theories currently in the literature. Using an adaptation of England's methodology the primary orientations (POR) of 1321 officers, as well as the behavioral relevance of 77 personal values (PV) concepts were determined. A modification of Hoppock's general job satisfaction blank was used to measure the satisfactions of the officers. Through tests of means and analysis of distributions, the satisfactions of the various officer subgroups were then compared.
