United States Air Force Security Police Job Satisfaction and Career Intent: 1975 Versus 1977.
Abstract
This study analyzes and compares job satisfaction and career intent between 1975 and 1977 for Security Police personnel. The sources of the data are 564 respondents from the 1975 and 1977 USAF Quality of Air Force Life Surveys. The analysis techniques included the Automatic Interaction Detection (AID) algorithm, t-Test of Significance, Stepwise Linear Regression, and Principal Component Analysis. A detailed analysis was made of the entire population and for personnel with less than ten years service. The primary conclusion from the analysis is that, for Security Police personnel, the overall level of job satisfaction and expression of career intent are essentially unchanged between 1975 and 1977. Additional conclusions drawn are that SP personnel are better qualified and more satisfied with many factors of their jobs, but are less satisfied with the Economic and Equity aspects of their Air Force lives. It is suggested that the lack of significant change in job satisfaction and career intent was caused by the gains on the job being offset by the perceived losses in other facets of Air Force life.
