An Analysis of Factors Associated with the Job Satisfaction of United States Air Force Commanders.

Abstract

This study determines the variables associated with the job satisfaction of Air Force commanders. The source for the data is the Quality of Air Force Life Commander's Survey conducted in December of 1976. The survey responses were analyzed for 9 different groups: total sample, rated, non-rated, CONUS, overseas, less than ten years service, over ten years service, and with, and without command experience. The factors of most value in explaining the variation in job satisfaction are: (1) job challenge, (2) personal standing satisfaction, (3) desire for the commander's job, and (4) leadership/supervision satisfaction. Also of value, but to a lesser degree, were preparation for future responsibility, job freedom, and recognition.
