Air War College Class of 1981 Retention Survey

Abstract

This study reports the results of a retention survey administered by the author to the active-duty Air Force members of the Air War College Class of 1981. The purposes of the survey were to assess the career and retention attitudes of the Class of 1981, determine the factors shaping those attitudes, and compare the results obtained with those from a similar survey administered to the Air War College Class of 1980. The 1981 survey focused on various factors which affect retention, including financial matters, family considerations, leadership, and social life/camaraderie. It also sought to determine the career intentions of the Class of 1981. The results of the 1981 survey were in many respects better from an organizational viewpoint than were the results of the 1980 survey. The analysis of the results also revealed that the retention outlook among high-quality senior officers is positive and healthy.
