Marital and Job Satisfaction and Retention in the Army

Abstract

This paper has presented the results from two studies designed to illuminate the relationships among the Army experience, family life, job satisfaction, and intention to remain in the Army. The results from the first study indicated several areas of Army life which soldiers say impact positively or negatively on their family life. Among these variables are separation from family, frequent PCS moves, financial rewards, health care, and housing. However, when we measured the soldiers' experiences with these areas of Army life, we found the experiences to be unrelated to the soldiers' perceptions of their marital satisfaction.
