An Assessment of Korean Military Compensation Policies Projected for the 21st Century
Abstract
The Korean military organization has been organized and largely sustained by the loyalty and patriotism of its members. However, improvements in the economy may create future military manpower problems. The implementation of high technology improvements in weaponry and tactics also will impact on these emerging problems, as the military services will need to recruit and retain even-higher quality personnel. To assure that these requirements are met, and to compete with pay increases in the private sector, constructive changes in Korean military compensation policies may be required. To address this issue, this research examines the current compensation policies in the context of military- civilian comparisons and obtains the views of Korean officer students at the Naval Postgraduate School. The results of these efforts provide the basis for identifying and recommending the most appropriate compensation policies for the Korean military to meet the personnel retention problems of the 21st Century.
