DoD Recruiter Survey: Comparative Analyses of the 1991 and 1989 Surveys
Abstract
This report summarizes data from the 1989 and 1991 Department of Defense (DoD) Recruiter Surveys. These surveys were designed to measure recruiters' perceptions of recruiting policies and procedures, and other issues potentially affecting recruiters' quality of life. Because the survey was administered to a sample of active-duty recruiters from 1989 and 1991, the report contains comparative data useful for examining the extent to which Service interventions to improve recruiter quality of life were successful. Since Reserve Component recruiters were added in 1991 survey administration, data for this one time period are summarized; comparisons of active-duty and Reserve recruiter responses, for 1991, also are provided. The primary purpose of the 1989 DoD Recruiter Survey was to gather baseline data on recruiters' perceptions of recruiting policies and procedures (i.e., recruiting goals, training received, family preparation for recruiting duty). It also gathered considerable demographic data (ie., recruiters' level of education, hours worked, leave taken). This survey was mailed to 3,498 individuals selected from the population of active-duty enlisted personnel assigned to recruiting duty. It was fielded from October through December 1989, and the response rate was 80 percent. Results were published in the report, 'Military Recruiters and Their Perceptions of Recruiting Duty,' Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel), October 1990.
