The Effects of Career Stage and Location on Serving Officer Attitudes. Part 11. A Proposed Four Stage Career Model

Abstract

Analysis confirmed an observation made on data from the Retention Survey that the 13 to 15 year length of service interval might constitute a unique stage in a Naval officer's career. A tentative, four-stage officer career model was devised based on the above interval. Retention Survey and other data were reworked to test the reality of the model. It was concluded that this model more accurately reflects officer attitudes and behavior than does the Jans three-stage concept. Keywords: Officer retention survey; Officer careers; Career stage; Career location; Attrition; Personnel retention; Naval personnel; Australia.
