Anticipated Effects of Restructuring on Army Career Decisions: An Analysis of Comments from the 1990 Army Career Satisfaction Survey

Abstract

This report presents a content analysis of the 1990 Army Career Satisfaction Survey, which was sent to 28,071 Army personnel. Nearly 60% of the enlisted, warrant, and commissioned officers in the sample responded to the surveys with over 30% writing comments to an open-ended final question. All comments were submitted on magnetic tape to the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences. The printed comments are included in a 575- page appendix to this report. The report highlights representative examples of the comments from all categories of respondents. Major themes of the comments are categorized as (1) job security, force reduction, and transition; (2) career opportunities and promotions; (3) quality of life issues (benefits, pay, medical care, etc.); (4) job satisfaction; and (5) need to retain quality personnel.
