The Effects of Age, Educational Level and Branch Membership Upon the Attitudes of Young, Male RAN Officers. Part 2. Between Branches

Abstract

The attitudes of Young (< or = 30 Years) tertiary educated officers from each of three Royal Australian Navy branches were compared to those held by their counterparts in the Executive branch. Engineering officers, Instructors and Supply officers, in that order, held more negative attitudes towards the Service than did Executive branch members. This result was interpreted within the rationale of the institutional-occupational (I/O) hypothesis and the general utility of the I/O construct was examined. Keywords: Personnel retention; surveys; General officers; Educational; Naval personnel; Attitude(inclination); Australia.
