Retention. Report Number One. A Preliminary Report Concerning Descriptive Statistics of those Social and Psychological Attitudes and Background Characteristics Associated with Retention

Abstract

This report examines retention. It provides a socioeconomic profile of the reservists in Naval Reserve Readiness Command Region SEVEN, and a statistical description of their attitudes, opinions and beliefs about the Naval Reserve. After an extensive review of the literature, it investigates the areas of how closely reservists identify with the Navy as a subculture, their level of satisfaction with various aspects of the reserve program (i.e. drill, WETS, ACDUTRA), the kinds of leadership styles believed most effective (authoritarian/ democratic) and their sense of civic responsibility. The purpose is to show how these attitudes and values are related to the intention of reservists to reenlist in the Naval Reserve.
