Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention: The Assignment Process.
Abstract
A sample of 691 surface warfare junior officers (JOs) was surveyed to identify JO experiences with and attitudes toward assignment process variable and to determine whether these experiences and attitudes related to career intent and/or officer quality. Results showed that JO career intent was positively related to satisfaction with informal notification time for new assignments, obtaining desired assignments, evaluation of the assignment process, evaluations of detailers' interpersonal skills, and use of both local superiors and headquarters sources for career guidance. Officer quality was not related to outcomes or evaluations of the assignment process. (Author)
