The 1990 Army Career Satisfaction Survey (ACSS) (Commissioned Officer Form) Codebook
Abstract
The Chief of Staff, Army (CSA) directed that ARI conduct the 1990 Army Career Satisfaction Survey (ACSS) to provide an overview of soldiers' attitudes, perceptions, and intentions concerning Army downsizing. Thirty thousand soldiers were surveyed in June and July 1990. The main sample of 28,071 represents soldiers at all ranks countable toward the active strength of the Army on 31 March 1990, with the following exclusions: (a) general officers, (b) soldiers with less than 12 months of service, and (c) soldiers in the process of separation or retirement. Another 1,929 soldiers who had been surveyed in previous efforts were also sent this survey in order to measure attitude changes over the last four years. The response rate adjusted for postal non-delivery and late returns of completed surveys is 65% (80% of warrant officers, 76% of commissioned officers, and 51% of enlisted). The overall margin of error is less than 1.3%. Data Recognition Corporation assisted in administering the surveys and prepared the survey data set documented in this 1990 ACSS (Commissioned Officer Form) Codebook to ARI specifications. Companion volumes are also in preparation for the Warrant Officer Form and the Enlisted Form.
