Relationships between Number of Enlistments Completed and Importance of Separation Reasons: Hierarchical Multiple Regression Approach

Abstract

The reasons for separation from the Navy, as identified by responses to the enlisted separation questionnaire (ESQ), were related to Navy tenure. Factor analysis of ESQ responses yielded eight separation reason factors. The number of enlistments completed was found to be inversely related to the importance (in the separation decision) of skill utilization, regimentation, and leadership factors, and directly related to loss of benefits. Hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated differential relationships between mutually exclusive subclasses of individuals for leadership and regimentation. (Author)
