Military Job Satisfaction Among USMA Graduates,

Abstract

This study measured and compared military job satisfaction among former company grade, field grade, and general officers. A 13 item questionnaire that measured job satisfaction in five different area was used to survey U.S. Military Academy graduates from the Classes of 1920-1949. It was found that general officers were more satisfied than were company and field grade officers, and that field grade officers were more satisfied than company grade officers. It was also found that there was a consistent trend for higher order needs to be less satisfied than lower order needs. Recommendations for change are given. (Author)
