Health and Adjustment of Men at Sea,

Abstract

Health and adjustment in naval organizations are complex functions of individual characteristics, environmental and organizational influences, and interactions of these sets of variables. Current studies of men aboard ship are concerned with the development of a social system model to represent behavior in naval organizations and the measurement of physical environments of ships, habitability perceptions of crews, organizational structure, organizational climate, leadership patterns, biographical and military service information, job motivation and satisfaction, and medical and performance criteria at the individual and organizational levels. Preliminary findings indicate that shipboard environmental conditions are correlated with health, satisfaction, performance, and retention of naval personnel. (Author)
