An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Navy's Human Resource Management Survey as a Navy Enlisted Retention Management Tool.

Abstract

Unit 'retention Profiles' were developed using Navy Human Resource Management Survey responses for both high and low retention units. Although the 'profiles' were found to be identical for both high and low retention units, comparative analysis of survey responses was found of value in assisting unit Commanding Officers in developing retention management strategies. The data utilized consisted of 28,913 respondents of the Navy Human Resource Management Survey during the second quarter of fiscal year 1978. The individual's stated career intent was regressed on the survey dimensions, indices, and questions to further understand the dynamics of the retention decision. Unit 'retention profiles' were developed as a result of stepwise discriminant analysis on the survey questions for both high and low retention units. A detailed bibliography of employee job turnover is included as an aid to future researches. (Author)
