The Impact of the SAC Missile Management Working Group on Missile Combat Crew Member Attitudes
Abstract
The missile career field has suffered from low morale, lack of job satisfaction, and low retention since the introduction of the ICBM into the SAC weapons arsenal in 1958. Over the years, many people have conducted research studies on various aspects of these problems. In 1971, SAC formed the Missile Management Working Group (MMWG) in an effort to enhance the missile combat crew member's (MCCM) job and to increase job satisfaction, thereby improving retention and volunteer rates. The purpose of this study was to determine if MCCM attitudes toward their job and the missile operations career field had improved since the formation of the MMWG, to measure the effectiveness of the MMWG as perceived by the MCCMs in meeting its stated objectives, and to determine if volunteer and retention rates have improved.
