First Term Enlisted Attrition - Volume 1. Papers

Abstract

The purposes of this meeting, cosponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Office of Naval Research, were: (1) to review what is known about attrition in the Services-its magnitude, current trends and costs, and how it is managed; (2) to learn about relevant research-both inside and out of the DOD-that deals with attrition; and (3) to identify gaps in our knowledge that could be addressed by new R and D. Among the topics discussed in this volume are: First-Term Enlisted Attrition Policies and Practices; The Absorption and Integration of Newcomers; Organizational Commitment and Personnel Attrition; Post High-School Drop-Outs (And Stayers); Individual, Organizational, and Environmental Influences on Turnover; A Longitudinal Study of Enlisted Personnel Attrition in the U.S. Marine Corps; Job Changing Behavior of Young Men in the Civilian Labor Market; Minimizing Adjustment Problems and Attrition Rates of Minority Military First-Term Enlisted Men; A Model to Analyze the Cost Impact of First-Term Attrition in the Navy and Marine Corps; and Quality of Marines-- Test scores, personal data, and performance.
