Naval Flight Officer Instructor Pipeline Influence and Job Satisfaction.

Abstract

This report is part of a larger study on student naval flight officer (SNFO) pipeline preference requested by the Commander, Training AirWing SIX. This preliminary report identifies those factors that relate to: (1) a naval flight officer instructor's (NFOI) decision for having entered the naval flight officer (NFO) program, (2) pipeline assignment influence on SNFOs, (3) job satisfaction, and (4) future career concerns. Most NFOIs entered naval aviation because of the desire to fly, to do something challenging, and for excitement and adventure. Though generally satisfied with their assignments, NFOIs preferred their instructing job to their ground job. Although the majority of NFOIs indicated they influenced SNFO pipeline preferences, the report degree of influence was moderate or little. Demographic and military background variables did not relate significantly to NFOIs' perceived influence on SNFOs. Keywords: Motivation, Career satisfaction, Pipeline influences.
