Officer Career Development: A Review of the Civilian and Military Research Literature on Turnover and Retention

Abstract

Reviews were conducted of both the civilian and military research literatures on turnover in preparation for a predictive study involving aviation warfare officers and actual retention behavior. In the present report, results from the two literature reviews are presented and compared. An annotated bibliography, which has been computerized, is also presented, and is available on disk upon request. Both the literature reviews and the subsequent retention study were part of a 9-year research program that examined a wide range of career development and career management issues for three unrestricted line officer communities: aviation warfare officer, surface warfare officers, and general unrestricted line officers.
