Job Satisfaction and Career Intent of USAF Weapons Systems Security Specialists.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to rank job factors in order of impact on USAF Weapons Systems Security Specialist job satisfaction and career intent, and to analyze trends in WSS job satisfaction and career intent. WSS responses to the 1975 and 1977 Quality of Air Force Life surveys and to a suppplemental survey formed the data base. Twelve job factors from the QOAFL surveys were analyzed; the supplemental survey included eighteen job factors. Pearson correlation, factor analysis, multiple regression, analysis of variance, and the T-test of means were used to analyze the data. Results indicate job challenge has the most impact on WSS job satisfaction, while equity has greatest impact on career intent. WSS job satisfaction, career intent, and satisfaction with recognition, job freedom, prestige, and pay significantly decreased from 1977 to 1981; satisfaction with leadership significantly increased from 1975 to 1981.
