Prediction of Reenlistment: A Discriminant Analysis Approach.
Abstract
Navy enlisted men completing first enlistments were divided into three categories: Those who were qualified to reenlist and did, those who were qualified to reenlist but did not, and those who were not qualified to reenlist. Linear discriminant analysis was applied to the problem of distinguishing the three groups using predictor variables that included demographic and biographical items, service history variables, job attitude (satisfaction) measures, and performance criteria. Group profiles were developed which discriminated well among the three groups and provided a basis for assessing reenlistment potential early in a man's career.
