The Economic and Noneconomic Determinants of Retention in the Reserve/ Guard Units

Abstract

This research predicts likelihood of Reserve/Guard retention based on military earnings, civilian earnings, spouse's earnings, spouse's attitude toward retention, other income, and total years of service, including active duty service. The data are developed from Defense Manpower Data Center's (1987) surveys of Reserve/Guard officers and enlisted personnel. The results reveal that retention can be increased by increasing Reserve/Guard pay and allowances or changing Reservist/Guard spouse's attitude toward retention.
