Prediction of Reenlistment.
Abstract
The relationship of aptitude, attitude, biographical data, army area, rank, AFSC, job preference to reenlistment was examined in a sample of some 9,000 airmen who enlisted between 31 May 1948 and 1 February 1950. Low but generally significant relationships were found. On the basis of these results, reenlistment appears to be more likely to occur when attitude toward the Air Force and interests and background are favorable, when aptitude is not too high, when the men come from the south rather than the north, and when rank at the end of service is high. Agreement between job preference and job assignment seems to have no relation to reenlistment.
