An Investigation of Personal Background Factors Related to the Civil Engineering Officers' Satisfaction with the Air Force Way of Life.

Abstract

The intent of this research was to gather sufficient data to determine the relationship between personal background and the Civil Engineering Officer's satisfaction with the Air Force way of life. A total of 809 Civil Engineering officers were surveyed to gather demographic and personal background information and to assess their level of satisfaction with the Air Force. The relationship between personal background and satisfaction was investigated using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) between satisfaction and each factor of personal background. The results identified seven factors that are related to satisfaction with the Air Force. These factors were student council involvement, father's education, mother's education, age first considered an Air Force career, strictness, of upbringing, perceived background adequacy, and the home town image of the military officer.
