Motivational and Productivity Factors that Influence the Naval Construction Force

Abstract

This thesis investigated the effects of different motivational and productivity factors on Naval Construction Force (NCF) Seabees. Hypotheses were developed based on the findings of previous investigators. These hypotheses, as well as new ones, were then tested in this study. Using a multiple linear regression analysis of all statistically significant motivation and productivity factors, the top ten factors that influence the productivity of a Seabee are: (a) Type of work; (b) Recognition; (c) Safety; (d) Personal problems; (e) Training received; (f) Supervisor motivation; (g) Rewards; (h) Inspections, (i) Morale; (j) Supervisor relations.
